Mechanics in the Mercedes-Benz W196 of Moss (6) and Fangio (2). Monaco Grand Prix 1955.
In a sunlit pre-race scene at the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, Stirling Moss sits in the cockpit of his silver Mercedes-Benz W196, number 6, his expression serious. A small Union Jack is affixed to the car's bodywork. Just behind him, teammate Juan Manuel Fangio is seated in the number 2 car, looking forward. The vehicles are surrounded by a bustling crowd of mechanics in white overalls, officials, and spectators, with the city’s steep, rocky hillside rising in the background.
