Captured in a moment of high-speed drama, this iconic photograph shows the Ferrari D246 of Cliff Allison being wheeled along the picturesque streets of Monaco by its mechanics. The scene is set on May 29, 1960, during practice for the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix. Tragedy struck when Allison's car crashed at the waterfront chicane, leaving him with facial injuries that would take nearly a year to heal.
This atmospheric shot, taken by Phipps/Sutton for Motorsport Images, captures the intensity and urgency of the situation as the mechanics work to repair their damaged machine. The image is not only a testament to Allison's resilience but also a reminder of the risks and sacrifices made by drivers and teams in pursuit of victory.
