A British star riding a bow wave of success, with the energy of a vendetta against the establishment. Stirling Moss, Tony Brooks and Stuart Lewis-Evans were the three-man Brit dream team to take determined upstart Vanwall toe-to-toe and beyond with “those bloody red cars”.
Aintree would demand true teamwork, reward the most committed drivers and the best-engineered cars. Our teardrop-jockeying squad were comfortably furnished in all the above areas. Moss’s car would duck out part way through and Brooks, who had been babying his car very deliberately keeping it in reserve following a nasty Le Mans smash, would graciously hand it over to Moss, who would return to the action in ninth.
