French driver Jean Behra leans over the cockpit of the “Behra-Porsche” for an intense, last-minute conversation with Maria Teresa de Filippis at the 1959 Monaco Grand Prix. Seated in the RSK-based Porsche Special FII, de Filippis maintains a focused expression beneath her helmet and goggles, her hands on the wheel. Behra, a hand resting on the car's unpainted body, offers final instructions before the qualifying attempt. De Filippis would ultimately not qualify for the race.
