Peter Collins, (26) Ferrari-Lancia D50. Jean Behra, (30) Maserati 250F. Luigi Musso, (24) Ferrari-Lancia D50. Cesare Perdisa, (32) Maserati 250F. Monaco Grand Prix 1956.

Jean Behra pilots his Maserati 250F (No. 30) through a wide right-hand curve along the quay during the 1956 Monaco Grand Prix. The field of open-wheel racers includes Peter Collins and Luigi Musso in Ferrari-Lancia D50s, alongside Cesare Perdisa in another Maserati. Rudimentary barriers of stacked sandbags line the circuit, with the harbor’s yachts to the right and the densely populated city rising steeply in the background. Spectators gather behind a row of pine trees to watch the event unfold.
