Ascari, (26) Lancia D50, Behra, (34) Maserati 250F, Mieres, (36 Maserati 250F, Manzon, (8) Gordini T16. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.
At the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, Alberto Ascari's Lancia D50 (No. 26) is a blur of motion as it speeds past the camera on the winding street circuit. He is pursued by a field including Jean Behra (No. 34) and Roberto Mieres (No. 36) in their Maserati 250Fs, and Robert Manzon in his Gordini T16 (No. 8). Spectators in mid-century attire pack the sidewalks, balconies, and even rooftops, watching the high-speed action unfold against the backdrop of the city's tree-lined hills.
