Ferrari in Monaco
The Ferrari team has arrived for the 1957 Monaco Grand prix which will take place on May 19th. Here several Ferrari mechanics are unloading one of the Scuderia Ferrari entries. This Ferrari is called a type 801 and was a development of the Lancia D50s which were given to Ferrari in mid-1955 after Lancia withdrew […]
To the Victor the Spoils of Success
We love this iconic finishing photo of Louis Chiron offering the checkered flag to Jackie Stewart in his BRM P261. The occasion was the Monaco Grand Prix on May 22, 1966. Chiron was one of Monte Carlo’s most famous motor racing figures, having won this race in 1931 with a Bugatti Type 51 and competed […]
An Unlucky Guy
Here is the unlucky man himself, Chris Amon with his always recognizable red and blue helmet decoration. He often led a grand prix and would then have it all taken away by mechanical failure, sometimes not far from the finish. Here he is in the works March-Ford 701 during practice for the Monaco Grand Prix […]
The Eagle has Landed
Here we are during practice for the Monaco Grand Prix which took place on May 7, 1967. Seen in the pits is Dan Gurney in his All American Racers Eagle-Weslake with its Weslake Engineering-built 3 liter V12 motor. This motor had been designed to Gurney’s order by Aubrey Woods who had worked for BRM and […]
Tabac!
We love the dynamics of this photograph. It shows Denny Hulme with his McLaren M7A turning into Tabac Corner during the Monaco Grand Prix on May 26, 1968. Tabac was so called because of a tobacco products store which was once on that corner. The narrow entry to Tabac swung the cars under full acceleration […]
Exhaustion!
This rather sad photograph was taken during the Monaco Grand Prix on May 29, 1960. Shown here is a truly exhausted Innes Ireland as he pushes his works Lotus 18 with its Climax 2.5 liter 4 cylinder motor up Ste. Devote hill and approaches the entry to Casino Square. Ireland was fresh off a win […]
A Back Street Workshop
Here we are in a back street at Monte Carlo before the start of the Monaco Grand Prix on May 19,1957. The car which has been pulled up and chocked into place on the exit ramps of the works Maserati transport is a Maserati 250F which will be driven by World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio. […]
Faces in the Crowd
Today we are walking through the pits before practice at the Monaco Grand Prix which will take place on May 22, 1955. Seen here in his Ferrari 625F1 is the French vigneron and driver Maurice Trintignant. He has been assigned one of four of Ferrari’s older four cylinder cars in which he will compete with the much […]
The Start at Monaco
Here is one of those classic images from Monaco, this time the start of the Grand Prix there on May 13, 1956. On pole in the shaded area of the main straight is Juan Fangio in a Ferrari-Lancia, with the works Maserati of Stirling Moss next to him and then another Ferrari-Lancia this one driven […]
Before & After
We are on the harbor front straight just before the start of the Monaco Grand Prix on May 29, 1960 as some of the drivers gather to listen to the race officials. From the left we may see Innes Ireland (Lotus), Alan Stacey (Lotus), Tony Brooks (Cooper), Stirling Moss (Lotus), Chris Bristow (Cooper), Phil Hill […]
