The starting grid of the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix moments before the race. In the foreground, Juan Manuel Fangio in his Mercedes-Benz W196 (No. 2) is positioned beside Alberto Ascari in the Lancia D50 (No. 26) and Stirling Moss in the second Mercedes (No. 6). Behind them, a field including the Lancias of Eugenio Castellotti (No. 30) and Luigi Villoresi (No. 28) awaits the start. Drivers are poised in their cockpits, watched by immense crowds packed into grandstands against the steep, architectural backdrop of the French Riviera under the bright sun.
