Phil Hill climbs the Ste. Devote hill to Casino Square in the new Carlo Chiti-designed Ferrari 156/F1 rear-engined car. He was to finish third. The Ferraris showed great promise here, but were defeated by Stirling Moss who put up a fantastic drive in Rob Walker’s Lotus 18-Climax. During the early 1960s Klemantaski experimented with a so-called Press Camera which he adapted to 120 film. With its adjustable focal plane shutter and held sideways or even upside down, this camera could produce some striking effects. This photograph is an example that gives a good feeling of the rush of Chiti’s aggressive Ferrari design past the formal buildings which stand right next to the circuit.
