At the 1956 Monaco Grand Prix, drivers navigate a wide turn on the street circuit. Among the field are Eugenio Castellotti in a Ferrari-Lancia D50 (22), Harry Schell in the streamlined Vanwall VW2 (16), and, prominent on the right, Jean Behra in his Maserati 250F (30). The track is lined with stacked sandbags and a serrated guardrail. In the background, the sunlit cityscape rises steeply above the harbor, which is filled with yachts, creating an iconic backdrop for the race.
