Willy Mairesse ("Kamikaze Willy" or "Wild Willy"), (40) Ferrari 156 "Sharknose" . Monaco Grand Prix 1962.

During the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix, Willy Mairesse, known as "Wild Willy," steers his number 40 Ferrari 156 "Sharknose" through a turn. Clad in helmet and goggles, the driver is visible in the open cockpit as he navigates the paved circuit. Spectators watch from the sidelines, separated from the track by a neatly trimmed hedge, and from behind the large glass windows of an adjacent building.
