The starting grid on the Quai Albert-1er at the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. A dense crowd fills the massive grandstand as drivers, mechanics, and officials gather around the open-cockpit race cars. Among the competitors are Mike Hawthorn in his Ferrari-Lancia D50 (28), Maurice Trintignant (30), and Carlos Menditeguy (36) in a Maserati 250F. In the foreground is the B.R.M.
