At the 1978 Monaco Grand Prix, driver Mario Andretti sits in the open cockpit of his number 5 John Player Special car. To the left, Lotus founder Colin Chapman, wearing headphones, leans over the vehicle to make adjustments. The car’s dark livery features prominent sponsorship from Valvoline and Goodyear.
