Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Stirling Moss leads the championship after winning the opening round, his Monaco victory giving him maximum points ahead of the Ferrari drivers.
Previous race
At Monaco, Moss drove what many consider one of the greatest performances in Formula One history, holding off three more powerful Ferraris throughout the race in a privately entered Lotus. He won the Monaco Grand Prix for a third time, breaking the record of two set by Juan Manuel Fangio at the 1957 race.
Entrants
Innes Ireland, who broke his leg in Monaco practice, is replaced at Team Lotus by Trevor Taylor. Local hero Carel Godin de Beaufort joins the Porsche entry for Ecurie Maarsbergen.
Practice
Ferrari monopolises the front row: Phil Hill on pole from von Trips and Ginther. Moss’s Rob Walker Lotus and Graham Hill’s BRM share the second row.
