Ascari, (26) Lancia D50, Behra, (34) Maserati 250F, Mieres, (36 Maserati 250F, Manzon, (8) Gordini T16. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.
On the sun-drenched street circuit of the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, Alberto Ascari’s Lancia D50 (No. 26) is a blur of motion. Further up the winding asphalt, he is followed by Jean Behra (No. 34, Maserati 250F), Roberto Mieres (No. 36, Maserati 250F), and Robert Manzon in his Gordini T16 (No. 8). Spectators line the track behind a low barrier and watch from balconies, the motion blur of the lead car creating a powerful sense of speed from a bygone era of racing.
