Willy Mairesse ("Kamikaze Willy" or "Wild Willy"), (40) Ferrari 156. Monaco Grand Prix 1962.

Willy Mairesse, nicknamed "Kamikaze Willy," pilots his No. 40 Ferrari 156 during the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix. Captured in a motion blur that conveys a sense of high speed, the single-seater navigates the city street circuit, which is lined with dense crowds. Spectators stand behind barriers and pack the balconies of the surrounding apartment buildings, with signs for the Automobile Club de Monaco and Yacco oil visible along the track.
