The starting grid of the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. In the foreground, Juan Manuel Fangio in his silver Mercedes-Benz W196 (no. 2) is positioned alongside Alberto Ascari in a bright red Lancia D50 (no. 26). Next to them is Stirling Moss in the second Mercedes (no. 6). The lineup continues with cars driven by Eugenio Castellotti, Jean Behra, and Maurice Trintignant, all poised for the start. A massive crowd packs the grandstands along the sun-drenched street circuit, with the densely populated hillside of the principality rising steeply in the background.
