Luigi Villoresi, (38) Ferrari 125, behind him Raymond Sommer, (42) Ferrari 125. Monaco Grand Prix 1950.

During the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix, Luigi Villoresi pilots his Ferrari 125 (No. 38) around a turn on the stone-paved circuit bordering the harbor. Captured from a high angle, the scene shows spectators leaning over a balustrade as the car speeds past a barrier of hay bales. Further down the track, fellow Ferrari driver Raymond Sommer can be seen approaching. The motion blur on the wheels conveys the speed of the open-wheel race car, with the water and scattered boats providing a classic backdrop.
