Jean Behra, (34) Maserati 250F, André Simon, (4) Mercedes-Benz W196. With the shadow of the gazomètre. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

The long shadow of the gazomètre falls across the sunlit track as André Simon, in his silver Mercedes-Benz W196 (4), leads Jean Behra’s vibrant magenta Maserati 250F (34) through a turn during the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. From behind sandbag barriers, spectators line the city circuit, which winds through the hilly coastal landscape of the principality.
