Alberto Ascari, (40) Ferrari 125, Giuseppe "Nino" Farina, (32) Alfa Romeo 158 Alfetta, Toulo de Graffenried, (52) Maserati 4CLT, Franco Rol, (44) Maserati 4CLT. Monaco Grand Prix 1950.
At the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix, the race is halted by an incident on a city curve. Alberto Ascari sits patiently in his No. 40 Ferrari 125 as men attend to Giuseppe "Nino" Farina's No. 32 Alfa Romeo 158 Alfetta, its front crumpled against a stone barrier. Behind Ascari, a line of cars has formed, including the Maseratis of Toulo de Graffenried (No. 52) and Franco Rol (No. 44). Spectators pack every vantage point, from behind trackside balustrades to the balconies of the grand Beau Rivage hotel, overlooking the circuit.
