During the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, Mike Hawthorn in his British racing green Vanwall VW I (18) leads Giuseppe "Nino" Farina’s Ferrari 625 (42) through a turn. The long shadow of the Gazomètre falls across the asphalt, which is lined with hay bales and sandbags for safety. Spectators stand behind a low hedge, with the city’s elegant buildings and the harbor visible in the background.
