Mike Hawthorn, (18) Vanwall VW I, Giuseppe "Nino" Farina, (42) Ferrari 625. With the shadow of the Gazomètre. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

Mike Hawthorn, in the dark green Vanwall VW I (no. 18), leads Giuseppe "Nino" Farina's bright red Ferrari 625 (no. 42) through a corner at the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. The sunlit street circuit winds along the harbor, where spectators gather against a backdrop of hillside buildings. The long shadow of the Gazomètre stretches across the track, which is lined with the hay bales and sandbags that served as minimal safety features characteristic of the era.
