How Much Alcohol Is In Parrot Rum

Hawthorn and Ferrari


Summary of the F1 1958 Championship, won by the great British driver Mike Hawthorn at the wheel of a Ferrari with a reputation for "damn car."
the 1958 World Cup will be remembered for the many events that occurred in it, some others simply dramatic novel contributing to gradually upgrade the F-1. Juan Manuel Fangio, penta world champion (1951,54,55,56,57) retired in the highest of his career to become a kind of living relic owned by Mercedes.
Maserati meanwhile announced that this would be his last season in the top category of motor while Ferrari and Vanwall were almost the only brands to fight with new options for the constructors' championship that rewarded the regularity of the teams throughout the different tests.
Cooper likewise continued the project of the rear-engined cars, inspired Auto-Union in the pre-war German and began to give serious warnings about what lay ahead in the competition. This was demonstrated in the first two races in Argentina and Monaco where he won the John Cooper small cars that behaved remarkably on paths with many turns.
Stirling Moss obsessively returning to fight for their elusive world title, just to let Cooper to take a flyer on Vanwall, for a total of 4 wins during the season. Hawthorn won despite only for Ferrari to victory in the French GP, had a more regular basis when finishing in the points race as he watched helplessly the death of two of his teammates, Luigi Musso and Peter Collins within a month.
The drivers' title would be decided at the last race, the Grand Prix of Morocco in Casablanca for which Moss desperately needed victory, the fastest lap of the race and Hawthorn stay below the second position . This was true for 29 laps, when Tony Brooks (Vanwall) engine broke a rod after a heroic containing Hawthorn attacks.
Misfortune befell Vanwall team's final 10-laps to go when Stuart Lewis-Evans is on fire the car. The pilot involved in flames and the obvious shock, ran in the opposite direction to health that could have been saved. Vanwall had yet the honor of becoming the first brand that won the constructors' championship, which eventually would win almost as important as the drivers.
Moss had won the race but Hawthorn, the championship and after so much death, decided to leave the competition. In January 1959 death was a British road to get out of a curve.
