Jean Behra, (34) Maserati 250F and Alberto Ascari, (26) Lancia D50. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

At the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, Alberto Ascari in his Lancia D50 (26) leads Jean Behra in the Maserati 250F (34) through a right-hand turn. The two open-wheel racing cars navigate the street circuit beside the harbor, which is filled with moored yachts. Both drivers, focused in helmets and goggles, take the corner as spectators watch from behind a makeshift barrier of sandbags. Vintage advertising signs for "Bret-Oil" and "Esso" line the track, evoking the classic era of racing.
