Stewart Lewis-Evans, (10) Connaught B. With white hat Tony Vandervell, head of the Vanwall Formula One racing team. Monaco Grand Prix 1957. When Vandervell was asked why he ploughed his fortune into building a British Grand Prix team he said, dismissively, 'Some people play golf, I play cars.'

At the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix, Stewart Lewis-Evans guides his number 10 Connaught B through a corner packed with spectators. Watching intently from the trackside is Tony Vandervell, head of the Vanwall Formula One team, distinguished by his white hat. The crowd presses against a simple wooden barrier reinforced with sandbags, on a street circuit where signs for "TABAC" and Coca-Cola are visible. In the foreground, another figure holds up a signaling board for the driver.
