| Early morning in the Rouen paddock which was in a lovely grove of pines – the Ferraris are in line to be fueled before the start. Car n. 16 was to be driven by the Frenchman Maurice Trintignant, but did not finish. Once again Klemantaski uses the natural composition of the surroundings in early morning to evoke the silence before the thunder of the coming race. In the race itself, Juan Manuel Fangio was totally dominant in his Maserati 250F, presaging his astounding victory at the Nürburgring which would come a month later. Starting from pole position, he finished almost a minute ahead of Luigi Musso’s Ferrari. Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn came third and fourth for Ferrari. |
