The '''1958 Moroccan Grand Prix''', formally the '''VII Grand Prix International Automobile du Maroc''', was a [[Formula One]] [[motor race]] held at [[Ain-Diab Circuit]], [[Casablanca]] on 19 October 1958, after a six-week break following the [[1958 Italian Grand Prix|Italian Grand Prix]]. It was race 11 of 11 in the [[1958 World Championship of Drivers]] and race 10 of 10 in the [[1958 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers]]. It is the only time Morocco has hosted a World Championship Grand Prix.<ref>{{cite web|last=|first=|url=https://racingnews365.com/the-story-of-formula-1s-only-moroccan-grand-prix|title=The story of Formula 1's only Moroccan Grand Prix|work=Racingnews365.com|date= 18 February 2021|access-date=13 August 2022}}</ref>

[[Mike Hawthorn]] ([[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]) started from pole position, but [[Stirling Moss]] won the race driving for [[Vanwall]]. Hawthorn finished second which secured him the [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|World Drivers' Championship]]. [[Phil Hill]] was third, also for Ferrari. Vanwall made sure of the [[List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions|World Constructors' Championship]] and both this and Hawthorn's drivers' title were firsts for British teams or drivers.

The race saw an accident involving [[Stuart Lewis-Evans]], who died six days later from the burns he sustained.

==Report==

===Background===
Both [[Mike Hawthorn]] and [[Stirling Moss]] came into the race with a chance of becoming [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|World Drivers' Champion]]. Moss, on 32 points, needed to win the race and set fastest lap, with Hawthorn (40 pts) finishing no higher than third or to win without fastest lap with Hawthorn again finishing third or lower but also without fastest lap.

===Practice and qualifying===
There was an entry of 25 cars, of which 19 were to [[Formula One]] (F1) specification. [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] and [[Vanwall]] entered three cars each, [[British Racing Motors|BRM]] four and [[Team Lotus|Lotus]] and [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper]] two each. There were a further five non-works F1 entries. Six [[Formula Two]] Coopers brought the total entry to 25.<ref name="Maroc58">{{cite web|last=Jenkinson|first=Denis|author-link=Denis Jenkinson|title=Grand Prix Du Maroc: Moss (Vanwall) is perfection - but it is not enough|page=14|work=[[Motor Sport (magazine)|Motor Sport]] magazine archive|url=http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/november-1958/14/grand-prix-du-maroc|date=November 1958|access-date=21 October 2015}}</ref>

In Friday practice, [[Jean Behra]] (BRM) set fastest time at 2:25.2. [[Tony Brooks (racing driver)|Tony Brooks]] (Vanwall) and Hawthorn (Ferrari) were second and third, four and five tenths behind respectively. Moss did not better 2:26, despite a late attempt, having been hampered by other cars during some of his fast lap attempts.<ref name="Maroc58"/>

On the Saturday, Hawthorn set fastest time with 2:23.1 which was one-tenth ahead of Moss who was content with his position in the middle of the front row on the three-then-two grid. [[Stuart Lewis-Evans]] was on his outside, a further half-a-second behind. The second row was made up of [[Phil Hill]] (Ferrari) and Behra.<ref name="Maroc58"/>

===Race===
Moss and Lewis-Evans led away, with Phil Hill also making a good start from the second row. At the end of the first lap, Moss led from Hill and Hawthorn was third followed by [[Jo Bonnier]], Brooks, Lewis-Evans and Behra.<ref name="Maroc58"/> On lap three, Hill tried to out-brake Moss, but failed, and left the track without damaging the car, allowing Hawthorn and Bonnier to pass. Moss, now unhampered, began to draw away from Hawthorn who was being caught by Hill who had passed Bonnier after recovering from the earlier incident. By lap eight, Hill had passed Hawthorn but had little hope of catching Moss, who was already lapping the [[Formula Two]] cars at the rear of the field. Moss's teammate, Brooks, chased down Bonnier for fourth place and subsequently passed Hawthorn for third on lap 17.<ref name="Maroc58"/> On lap 18 Moss was involved in a minor collision with the [[Maserati in motorsport|Maserati]] of [[Wolfgang Seidel]] which forced the latter to retire and Moss to be wary of engine temperature thereafter.<ref name="Maroc58"/>

At 25 laps, Moss led Hill by 20s with Brooks a further 42s behind. Hawthorn was fourth followed by Bonnier and [[Olivier Gendebien]] with Lewis-Evans, Behra, [[Masten Gregory]] and [[Harry Schell]] completing the first ten runners.<ref name="Maroc58"/> Hawthorn re-passed Brooks shortly afterwards and on lap 30 Brooks's engine blew and he retired. This left Hawthorn in third place, but some distance behind Hill, who was 27s behind Moss and steadily losing ground on the leader.<ref name="Maroc58"/>

At this point, Gendebien, [[Tom Bridger]] and [[François Picard (racing driver)|François Picard]] all retired through accidents, with only the latter sustaining more than minor injuries. Hill had little hope of catching Moss and the Ferrari team signalled to him to allow Hawthorn to catch up and take the second position needed to claim the Drivers' Championship.<ref name="Maroc58"/> Hill's lead over Hawthorn was such that it took till lap 39 for the change to occur.<ref name="Maroc58"/> Shortly afterwards, Moss lapped Schell, who then attempted to stay close to the [[Vanwall]] hampering Moss's progress. On lap 41, Lewis-Evans's engine broke in a corner, sending him off the road where the car caught fire. The driver was able to extricate himself but was badly burned.<ref name="Maroc58"/>

At 48 laps, Moss slowed to allow Schell to move back ahead and thus avoid the possibility of further interference with his own race. Such was the lead that Moss had at this stage that he was still able to finish nearly 1.5 minutes ahead of the Ferraris of Hawthorn and Hill. Moss had also set fastest lap, but Hawthorn's second place was enough to secure him the World Drivers' Championship.<ref name="Maroc58"/>

===Post race===
Lewis-Evans was airlifted back to Britain by Vanwall team owner [[Tony Vandervell]]<ref name="ESPN">{{cite web|last=Williamson|first=Martin|title=Hawthorn's title on another day of tragedy|url=http://en.espn.co.uk/f1/motorsport/story/16060.html|website=e..espn.co.uk|access-date=5 November 2015}}</ref> but died as a result of his burns six days later.<ref>{{cite book|last=Small|first=Steve|title=The Guinness Complete Grand Prix Who's Who|date=1994|publisher=Guinness|page=229|isbn=0851127029}}</ref> Vandervell, already in failing health himself, ended his involvement with the Vanwall team partly as a result of the accident.<ref name="ESPN"/> Lewis-Evans was also a close friend of [[Bernie Ecclestone]], who was at the race. Following his death Ecclestone sold his [[Connaught Engineering|Connaught]] team and cars<ref>{{cite book|last=Bower|first=Tom|title=No Angel: The Secret Life of Bernie Ecclestone|publisher=Faber and Faber|date=2011|page=48/chapter 2 (Gambling) (Kobo edition)|isbn=9780571269372}}</ref> and ceased involvement with the sport till 1965.<ref>{{cite book|last=Bower|first=Tom|title=No Angel: The Secret Life of Bernie Ecclestone|publisher=Faber and Faber|date=2011|page=1/chapter 3 (Embryo) (Kobo edition)|isbn=9780571269372}}</ref>

It was also the last race for Hawthorn who retired as a driver shortly after the season ended. He was killed in a road accident in Surrey on 22 January 1959.<ref name="ESPN"/><ref>{{cite book|last=Small|first=Steve|title=The Guinness Complete Grand Prix Who's Who|publisher=Guinness|page=179|isbn=0851127029}}</ref>

The '''1958 Portuguese Grand Prix''' was a [[Formula One]] [[motor race]] held at [[Circuito da Boavista]], [[Porto|Oporto]] on 24 August 1958. It was race 9 of 11 in the [[1958 World Championship of Drivers]] and race 8 of 10 in the [[1958 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers]].

[[Mike Hawthorn]] was initially disqualified for restarting his car against the direction of the circuit,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1958/31/vii-grande|title=1958 Portuguese Grand Prix race report: GB 1-2-3 in Boavista |work=[[Motor Sport (magazine)|Motor Sport]]|access-date=31 August 2020}}</ref> losing seven points.

Eventually, Hawthorn was classified and retained his seven points.

The '''1958 German Grand Prix''' was a [[Formula One]] race held on 3 August 1958 at [[Nürburgring]]. It was race 8 of 11 in the [[1958 World Championship of Drivers]] and race 7 of 10 in the [[1958 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers]].

To increase participation, the organizers opened the field to [[Formula 2]] cars. Also, the race distance was shortened to 15 laps from 22 previously. The two races were run at the same time but the Formula 2 entries (shown in yellow) were not eligible for World Championship points and some sources do not consider these starts in career stats. [[Peter Collins (racing driver)|Peter Collins]] died after an accident on the 11th lap, as rival [[Tony Brooks (racing driver)|Tony Brooks]] went on to victory. On lap 11 during the race while Collins was pushing his Ferrari to the limit chasing [[Tony Brooks (racing driver)|Tony Brooks]]' Vanwall in the Pflanzgarten section, Collins had a fatal accident as his Ferrari ran too wide, crashed into a ditch and went flying into the air. His car then somersaulted and he struck a tree head first. Although he was given medical treatment he died in hospital later that day. Brooks said in his biography that Collins drove harder than any other driver he had ever faced in his racing career. But others believed he had almost suffered the same incident as [[Luigi Musso]] did at the [[1958 French Grand Prix]] earlier that season and that this race had the rivalry that was similar to the Collins and [[Juan Manuel Fangio|Fangio]] duel 2 years before.

The '''1958 French Grand Prix''' was a [[Formula One]] [[motor race]] held at [[Reims-Gueux|Reims]] on 6 July 1958. It was race 6 of 11 in the [[1958 World Championship of Drivers]] and race 5 of 10 in the [[1958 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers]].

The race was won by [[Mike Hawthorn]] driving a [[Ferrari 246 F1]]; it was his first Formula One victory since the [[1954 Spanish Grand Prix]] and would prove to be his last. It was also the last Formula One race for five-time [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|World Champion]] [[Juan Manuel Fangio]]. On the final lap, Hawthorn eased up to let Fangio, running fifth at the time, finish on the lead lap of his last race. This turned out to be a blessing, as Peter Collins ran out of fuel on the final lap, allowing Fangio to secure fourth. Collins managed to push his car to finish fifth.

The race was marred by Ferrari driver [[Luigi Musso]]'s fatal accident at the Courbe du Calvaire. His car hurtled off course and crashed into a ditch. Musso was thrown out of the car, was critically injured and died later that day at a hospital near the track.

Of the 21 starters, six died in racing cars within the next three years. Musso died in the race itself, while Peter Collins died in that year's [[1958 German Grand Prix|German Grand Prix]], Lewis-Evans at the [[1958 Moroccan Grand Prix|Moroccan Grand Prix]], [[Jean Behra]] in a support race for the [[1959 German Grand Prix]], [[Harry Schell]] in practice for the [[1960 BRDC International Trophy]], and Wolfgang von Trips and a dozen spectators died at the [[1961 Italian Grand Prix]].

The '''1958 Belgian Grand Prix''' was a [[Formula One]] motor race held on 15 June 1958 at [[Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps|Spa-Francorchamps]]. It was race 5 of 11 in the [[1958 World Championship of Drivers]] and race 4 of 10 in the [[1958 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers]]. The race was the 19th [[Belgian Grand Prix]] and it was held over 24 laps of the 14 kilometre circuit for a race distance of 339 kilometres.

==Summary==
The Belgian Grand Prix returned to the calendar after being off the calendar the previous year, and the 8.7 mile Spa circuit had been slightly modified. The pits had been rebuilt, the pit straight had been widened and straightened and the entire track had been resurfaced. The race distance had been shortened from 36 to 24 laps.

The race was won by British driver [[Tony Brooks (racing driver)|Tony Brooks]] in a [[Vanwall]]. It was Brooks first solo Grand Prix victory after his car won the [[1957 British Grand Prix]] in a shared drive with [[Stirling Moss]]. Brooks finished 20 seconds ahead of fellow Briton [[Mike Hawthorn]] driving a [[Ferrari 246 F1]]. Brooks' Vanwall teammate [[Stuart Lewis-Evans]] finished third in a career-best finish, the first of just two podium finishes to his short Grand Prix career. The race also marked the first World Championship race start (and finish) by a woman in the form of [[Maria Teresa de Filippis]], who had entered the [[1958 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco Grand Prix]] earlier in the year but failed to qualify. She finished tenth in her privately-entered [[Maserati 250F]], two laps behind Brooks' Vanwall.

On the last lap, Brooks came out of La Source to end the race, and his gearbox seized as he crossed the line. When [[Mike Hawthorn]] was coming out of the same corner to end his race in second, his engine failed as he was coming to the finish line. [[Stuart Lewis-Evans]]'s suspension collapsed on the way into La Source, and he crawled to the line in third. This race also marked the first points finish for Lotus when Cliff Allison came across the line in fourth.

The '''42nd International 500-Mile Sweepstakes''' was held at the [[Indianapolis Motor Speedway]] on Friday, May 30, 1958. The event was part of the [[1958 USAC Championship Car season|1958 USAC National Championship Trail]], and was also race 4 of 11 in the [[1958 World Championship of Drivers]].

The race is best known for a massive first-lap, 15-car pileup that resulted in the death of fan-favorite driver [[Pat O'Connor (racing driver)|Pat O'Connor]].

[[Jimmy Bryan]] was the race winner. This marked the first time that one car would carry two drivers to separate wins at the race, in back-to-back years, with [[Sam Hanks]] winning the previous year's race in the same car.

The race featured young rookie [[A. J. Foyt]]'s debut at Indy. On lap 148, he spun in an [[oil spill|oil slick]], blew out the tires, and dropped out of the race.

[[Juan Manuel Fangio]] arrived at Indy under much fanfare as he attempted to qualify for the Indy 500 and score points towards the [[1958 Formula One season|World Championship]]. He practiced early in the month, but withdrew when he could not get up to speed.

==Time trials==
Time trials were scheduled for four days.

*Saturday May 17 – Pole Day time trials
**[[Ed Elisian]] set a new one-lap track record of 146.508 mph to sit tentatively on the pole position. His four-lap average stood at 145.926 mph. Later in the day, [[Dick Rathmann]] qualified at 145.974 mph to win the pole position. Rathmann was not able to beat Elisian's single-lap record, but his four-lap record eclipsed Elisian overall by a mere 0.08 seconds.
*Sunday May 18 – Second day time trials
*Saturday May 24 – Third day time trials
*Sunday May 25 – Fourth day time trials

==Race summary==

===Opening lap crash – Death of Pat O'Connor===
For the second year in a row, the starting grid was assembled single-file in the pit lane. The cars were instructed to pull away and assemble into the official eleven rows of three after they entered the racing surface. Confusion occurred on the pace lap, however, as the three drivers of the front row ([[Dick Rathmann]], [[Ed Elisian]], and [[Jimmy Reece]]) pulled away, and inadvertently escaped the pace car. The three cars were alone, and rather than wait for the grid to catch up, they rushed around to catch up to the back of the field. [[Sam Hanks]] pulled the pace car off the track and into the pits, but chief starter Bill Vanderwater displayed the yellow flag to wave off the start. An extra pace lap was allowed, and the front row re-took their position at the front of the pack. By the time Hanks was ready to pull the pace car back out on the track, the field had re-formed, and Vanderwater gave them the green flag.

At the start, [[Dick Rathmann]] took the lead in turn 1, [[Ed Elisian]] was second, and [[Jimmy Reece]] third. As the cars battled into turn three, Elisian spun and took Rathmann to the outside wall, triggering a huge 15-car pileup. Reece braked and was hit from behind by [[Pat O'Connor (racing driver)|Pat O'Connor]]. O'Connor's car sailed fifty feet in the air, landed upside down and burst into flames. Several other cars spun to the wall and into the infield. [[Jerry Unser]] touched wheels with [[Paul Goldsmith (racing driver)|Paul Goldsmith]], and flipped over the outside wall. Unser suffered a dislocated shoulder.

Although O'Connor was incinerated in the accident, medical officials said that he was probably killed instantly from a fractured skull.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://indymotorspeedway.com/500d-58.htm |title=Indianapolis Motor Speedway Fatalities – 1958 INDY 500 – Pat O'Connor – driver |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110002233/http://indymotorspeedway.com/500d-58.htm |archive-date=November 10, 2013 |access-date=January 16, 2016}}</ref>

===First half===
[[Jimmy Bryan]] escaped the opening lap crash, and came around to lead the first lap. [[Eddie Sachs]] and [[Tony Bettenhausen]] also got by unscathed, to run second and third. Due to the crash, the yellow light stayed on for 25 minutes (approximately 18 laps). Four of the top five starting positions were out of the race from the crash, including polesitter [[Dick Rathmann]], who placed 27th.

After a lengthy cleanup, the green flag came back out around lap 19. Bryan, Sachs, Bettenhausen, and rookie [[George Amick]] all traded time in the lead. There were 14 lead changes in the first half.

The second yellow came out on lap 38 when [[Chuck Weyant]] crashed in turn 4.

[[Eddie Sachs]], a contender in the first quarter of the race, dropped out on lap 68 with transmission trouble.

===Second half===
The second half of the race settled down to a battle between Jimmy Bryan and Johnny Boyd, with rookie George Amick also in contention. Boyd lost the lead during a pit stop on lap 126. Bryan's team had faster pit stops (three stops for 1 minute and 31 seconds), which allowed him to hold the lead.

Rookie [[A. J. Foyt]] spun out on lap 149. He hit an oil slick in turn one and went sideways, blowing out all four tires. The car did not make contact with the wall, but the engine stalled and Foyt was out of the race. He placed 16th.

With 25 laps to go, Boyd was running about one second behind Bryan, with Amick (a lap down in third place) running between them. Boyd suddenly slowed on lap 177 with a worn out right rear tire, sending him to the pits, and elevating Amick to second. Bryan led the final 75 laps (139 total) en route to victory. Bryan was victorious in the same car in which [[Sam Hanks]] won the 500 a [[1957 Indianapolis 500|year earlier]]. Amick stayed within striking distance of Bryan for the last part of the race, but Amick's crew chief decided to accept a safe second-place rather than risk pushing their rookie driver into a mistake.

During the race as the news of Pat O'Connor's death spread around the track, the mood among the spectators became somber and glum. Reportedly, some in attendance left the grounds upon hearing the news of the fatality, some never to return.

==Aftermath==
Widely blamed for the accident, Ed Elisian was suspended by USAC for the accident (reinstated a few days later), and was shunned by many in the racing community.

Following the accident, race officials announced that they would change the starting procedure, abandoning the single-file trip down pit lane that was used in 1957 and 1958. Also, for the 1959 Indy 500, metal roll bars welded to the frame behind the driver's head were mandated, and helmets were required to pass safety certification by Speedway medical officials.

==Broadcasting==

===Radio===
The race was carried live on the [[Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network|IMS Radio Network]]. [[Sid Collins (broadcaster)|Sid Collins]] served as chief announcer. The broadcast reached 302 affiliates across all 48 states, as well as [[Armed Forces Network]] and [[Voice of America]]. For the final time, a 15-minute pre-race was used.<ref name="Star05-30-1958pg9">{{cite news|title=Speedway Network Taps 302 Stations Across Nation|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/30726449/|newspaper=The Indianapolis Star|page=9|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=May 30, 1958|access-date=April 18, 2019}}{{Open access}}</ref> The following year, the pre-race would be expanded to 30 minutes. The broadcast featured the debut of longtime fixture [[Lou Palmer (motorsport broadcaster)|Lou Palmer]], who reported from the normally quiet and remote third turn. As a rookie on the network, he was assigned turn three because 'nothing ever happens there'. However, on the opening lap, Palmer was quickly thrust into duty, as his first words on the network were to describe the massive 15-car pileup and fatal accident of [[Pat O'Connor (racing driver)|Pat O'Connor]].

{{cquote|And we've got an accident here! Car #5! Car #5, the Zink Special, is the first to wreck! Another over the wall! And we've got...one, two, three, four, five...six cars, piled up here, on the northeast turn! The 54 Novi into the infield...car #19 in the infield, 68 now down into the infield...and it's almost impossible to identify the others. Out of car #5, now, is [[Ed Elisian]]...and, er, car #91 against the wall...that is all that we can see at the moment. Further down the track, there are still others. ...One car ''has'' left this track, Sid, and ''did'' go over the retaining wall.

=== Background ===
The Indianapolis 500 was included in the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]] [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|World Championship of Drivers]] from [[1950 Formula One season|1950]] through [[1960 Formula One season|1960]]. The race was sanctioned by [[AAA Contest Board|AAA]] through [[1955 AAA Championship Car season|1955]], and then by [[United States Auto Club|USAC]] beginning in [[1956 USAC Championship Car season|1956]]. At the time the new world championship was announced and first organized by the [[Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile|CSI]], the United States did not yet have a [[United States Grand Prix|Grand Prix]]. Indianapolis Motor Speedway vice president and general manager Theodore E. "Pop" Meyers lobbied that the Indianapolis 500 be selected as the race to represent the country and to pay points towards the world championship.<ref name="TOGA 5-23-07">{{cite episode|series=[[Donald Davidson (historian)#The Talk of Gasoline Alley|The Talk of Gasoline Alley]]|station=[[WIBC (FM)|1070 WIBC-AM]]|airdate=May 23, 2007}}</ref><ref name="TOGA 5-19-16">{{cite episode|series=[[Donald Davidson (historian)#The Talk of Gasoline Alley|The Talk of Gasoline Alley]]|station=[[WFNI]]|airdate=May 19, 2016}}</ref>

Drivers competing at the Indianapolis 500 in 1950 through 1960 were credited with participation in and earned points towards the World Championship of Drivers.<ref name="TOGA 5-05-12">{{cite episode|series=[[Donald Davidson (historian)#The Talk of Gasoline Alley|The Talk of Gasoline Alley]]|station=[[WFNI]]|airdate=May 5, 2012}}</ref> However, the machines competing at Indianapolis were not necessarily run to [[Formula One]] specifications and regulations.<ref name="Capps 2000">{{cite journal|last=Capps|first=Don|author2=[[Cameron Argetsinger]]|title=Where Upon Our Scribe, Sherman, & Mr. Peabody Once Again Crank Up The Way-Back Machine for 1961..|journal=AtlasF1|date=October 25, 2000|volume=6|series=Rear View Mirror|issue=43|url=http://atlasf1.autosport.com/2000/mal/mirror.html|access-date=May 1, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120427115856/http://atlasf1.autosport.com/2000/mal/mirror.html|archive-date=April 27, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> The drivers also earned separate points (on a different [[List of American Championship car racing points scoring systems|scale]]) towards the respective [[AAA Contest Board|AAA]] or [[United States Auto Club|USAC]] [[List of American open-wheel racing national champions|national championships]]. No points, however, were awarded by the FIA towards the [[List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions|World Constructors' Championship]].

=== Summary ===
The 1958 Indianapolis 500 was round 4 of 11 on the [[1958 Formula One season|1958 World Championship]]. The event, however, attracted little interest from any of the regular competitors on the Grand Prix circuit, particularly since it was held only four days after the [[1958 Dutch Grand Prix|Dutch Grand Prix]]. [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] entered with much fanfare, but withdrew when he was unable to get his car up to speed. Race winner [[Jimmy Bryan]] earned 8 points towards the World Championship. He finished 13th in the final season standings.

[[File:Lotus 12.jpg|thumb|right|Lotus 12, chassis no 353, (pictured above in 2010) was driven by Graham Hill in his Grand Prix debut at Monaco in 1958]]
The '''1958 Monaco Grand Prix''' was a [[Formula One]] motor race held on 18 May 1958 at [[Circuit de Monaco|Monaco]]. It was race 2 of 11 in the [[1958 World Championship of Drivers]] and race 2 of 10 in the [[1958 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers]]. The race was the 16th [[Monaco Grand Prix]] and was held over 100 laps of the three kilometre circuit for a total race distance of 314 kilometres.

The race was won by French driver [[Maurice Trintignant]] in the second and final Grand Prix victory of his long career. The win was the second consecutive victory for the privateer [[Rob Walker Racing Team]]. Trintignant took the teams newly acquired [[Cooper T45]] to a twenty-second victory over Italian driver [[Luigi Musso]] driving a [[Ferrari 246 F1]] with Musso's British teammate [[Peter Collins (racing driver)|Peter Collins]] (Ferrari 246 F1) was third.

Trintignant's win put the superiority of front-engined cars in doubt. Musso's second place put him into a four-point championship lead over Moss and Trintignant.

[[Vanwall]] and [[BRM]] returned after their Argentine absence and so [[Stirling Moss]], [[Jean Behra]] and [[Harry Schell]] all went back to their regular drives. In Moss's place at the [[Rob Walker Racing Team]] with the new 2000 cc engined [[Cooper T45]] was French driver [[Maurice Trintignant]]. The race winning [[Cooper T43]] could not even qualify for the small 16-car Monaco grid, [[Ron Flockhart (racing driver)|Ron Flockhart]] was first reserve for the race.

Missing from the field was the previous year's winner and reigning World Champion, [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] who did not have a full-season drive. Fangio himself was in America, preparing for an ultimately disappointing [[1958 Indianapolis 500|Indianapolis 500]] campaign with the Dayton-Walther team. Future Formula One impresario [[Bernie Ecclestone]] entered two [[Connaught Engineering|Connaught]] B-Types to be driven by [[Bruce Kessler]] and [[Paul Emery]]. Neither could qualify complaining of handling problems so Bernie Ecclestone tested one of the cars to see if he could help identify the cause, but he couldn't. This has given rise to the widely circulated story that he attempted unsuccessfully to qualify. Also failing to make the grid were [[Maria Teresa de Filippis]], the first [[List of female Formula One drivers|female driver]] to enter a World Championship Grand Prix, and 58-year-old [[Louis Chiron]] in his final appearance at a Grand Prix. The Monaco local had won the Grand Prix 27 years earlier but Chiron and his [[Maserati 250F]] did not make it past qualifying.

[[Tony Brooks (racing driver)|Tony Brooks]] took pole position in his [[Vanwall VW 5]] but Behra won the start. He led until his brakes failed in his [[BRM P25]], and [[Mike Hawthorn]] swept by in the [[Ferrari 246 F1]]. Moss (Vanwall VW 5) had been duelling with him throughout the race until he retired on lap 38, and Hawthorn followed suit on lap 47 with a broken fuel pump. [[Graham Hill]] ([[Lotus 12]]) retired from fourth place in his first race on lap 69, after briefly leading. Vanwall pair Brooks and [[Stuart Lewis-Evans]] retired, leaving Trintignant to lead home the Ferraris by some 20 seconds giving Rob Walker his second race win of the year. Behind the Ferraris of [[Luigi Musso]] and [[Peter Collins (racing driver)|Peter Collins]] was [[Jack Brabham]] in the factory Cooper T45, although three laps down and still looking a long way from becoming the next years champion. Schell in his BRM P25 was a further six laps behind Brabham picking up the final points after [[Wolfgang von Trips]] had an engine failure in the closing stages in his Ferrari 246 F1. The only other car still circulating was the second Lotus 12 of [[Cliff Allison]], 13 laps behind Trintignant.

Trintignant's win disproved the belief that rear-engined Cooper victory achieved by [[Stirling Moss]] in [[1958 Argentine Grand Prix|Argentina]] was a one-off freak circumstance win, and the smaller British cars would be treated more seriously, although ultimately a Cooper would not win again until [[1959 Formula One season|1959]]. The [[Rob Walker Racing Team]]s pair of early 1958 victories would remain the best ever performance by a privateer team until the rise of [[Tyrrell Racing]] in the late 1960s.

The '''1958 Argentine Grand Prix''' was a [[Formula One]] [[motor race]] held on 19 January 1958 at [[Autódromo Juan y Oscar Gálvez|Autodromo Municipal Ciudad de Buenos Aires]] Circuit. It was race 1 of 11 in the [[1958 World Championship of Drivers]] and race 1 of 10 in the [[1958 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers]]. The race was the sixth [[Argentine Grand Prix]]. It was held on the #2 variation of the circuit. The race was held over 80 laps of the four kilometre circuit for a total race distance of 313 kilometres.

The race was won by British driver [[Stirling Moss]] in [[Rob Walker Racing Team|Rob Walker]]'s privately entered [[Cooper T43]]. Apart from being the first World Drivers Championship race win for [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper]] as a constructor it was also the first win for a [[Rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout|rear-engined car]], the first win for a car entered by a [[Privateer (motorsport)|privateer team]] and the first win for a car powered by an engine built by another manufacturer. Moss took his seventh Grand Prix victory by 2.7 seconds over Italian driver [[Luigi Musso]] ([[Ferrari 246 F1]]). Musso's British teammate [[Mike Hawthorn]] (Ferrari 246 F1) was third.

==Report==
A change in fuel regulations meant that the British teams [[Vanwall]] and [[British Racing Motors|BRM]] would not be ready for the Argentine race held in mid-January, four months ahead of the second race of the season in [[1958 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]]. This meant that this race had the fewest entries (10) of any Grand Prix in the history of the F1 World Championship. Vanwall released Moss to compete with another team and he linked up with the [[Rob Walker Racing Team]] to drive their Cooper T43, a car about to be superseded at the factory Cooper team by the new [[Cooper T45|T45]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://en.espnf1.com/f1/motorsport/story/16049.html |title=One-eyed Moss claims first win for Cooper |last=Williamson |first=Martin |website=ESPN F1 |publisher=ESPN Sports Media Ltd. |access-date=25 October 2013 }}</ref>

With the race set to be held in very hot conditions the race was shortened from 400 kilometres to 313. The shorter race led the Walker team to consider running the race without stopping for tyres. The car's four stud wheels would take almost two laps to complete a tyre change, much slower than their Ferrari and Maserati rivals. Moss and his team began a deception, complaining about the tyre situation and how much time they would lose changing tyres.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Moss |first1=Stirling |last2=Henry |first2=Alan |title=All My Races |date=15 February 2010 |isbn=9781844257003 |publisher=Haynes Publishing }}</ref>

[[Jean Behra]] in a privateer [[Maserati 250F]] led at the start but was quickly passed by Hawthorn. By lap ten [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] had taken the lead in the [[Scuderia Sud Americana]] entered Maserati 250F and Moss had worked his way forward into second position as the pitstops began for the heavier Italian built cars.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr065.html |title=Grand Prix Results: Argentine GP, 1958 |website=GrandPrix.com |series=GP Encyclopedia |publisher=Inside F1, Inc. |access-date=25 October 2013 }}</ref>

After the pitstops Moss led from Musso and Hawthorn. Behra was delayed by a spin and Fangio by a misfire. With ten laps remaining the others decided Moss was not going to pit and Musso and Hawthorn picked up the pace. Moss' tyres were disintegrating but there was enough with careful driving that Moss limped to the line for a remarkable victory. Behind the two Ferraris Fangio was the first Maserati to finish with Behra, two laps down, scoring the remaining points. [[Harry Schell]] was next ahead of Fangio's teammate [[Carlos Menditeguy]], both Maserati 250F mounted. [[Peter Collins (racing driver)|Peter Collins]] was the only retirement of the ten entries having stopped on the opening lap with a broken axle in the third Ferrari.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gpfocus.com/memory-lane/argentina-58-moss-fools-competitors-to-make-history/ |title=Argentina '58: Moss fools competitors to make history |last=Marshall |first=Ewan |date=16 June 2011 |website=GPfocus.com/ |publisher=GPFocus.com |access-date=25 October 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029194255/http://gpfocus.com/memory-lane/argentina-58-moss-fools-competitors-to-make-history/ |archive-date=29 October 2013 }}</ref>

It was the first victory for a rear-engined car but for the moment it would be an aberration brought on by tactics. It was not yet obvious that the death of the front-engined car was just a year away.
