On the starting grid for the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix, driver Willy Mairesse stands beside his number 40 Ferrari 156. In his light-colored racing suit, with goggles pushed up on his open-face helmet, he engages in conversation before the race. The background captures the atmosphere of the event, with crowded grandstands, advertising banners for Shell, and the principality's distinctive hillside cityscape.
