Stirling Moss stands confidently beside his Mercedes-Benz W196 during the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. With his hand on his hip and face smudged with oil, he looks directly at the camera. The streamlined car, number 6, is parked in front of the pits, marked by a "CHRONOMETRAGE" sign. A broken oil line had just forced Moss to retire from the race after he and his teammate Juan Manuel Fangio had led for nearly its entire duration.
