On the starting grid before the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, the sunlit Quai Albert-1er is a hive of activity. Mechanics in overalls attend to the open-wheel racers, including the Maserati 250F models of Carlos Menditeguy (36), Harry Schell (38), and Masten Gregory (2). Also pictured are Maurice Trintignant’s Ferrari-Lancia (30) and Wolfgang von Trips’ Ferrari 80I (24). Behind a low barrier, the massive tiered grandstand is packed to capacity, its front lined with advertising banners for sponsors like Shell and driver Stirling Moss.
