Actually P. Hill won the Italian GP in the same year, and event that his teammate was killed in. Hill also won the 1960 Italian GP in a Ferrari, however it was a front-engine contraption that only he and Stirling Moss share that distinction of having won GPS in front-engine & rear-engine cars with regards to the history of GP racing. However that’s not what is remarkable about P. Hill. What is remarkable about Hill is that he managed to win a WDC under the dysfunctional organization known as Ferrari. Ferrari back then was anything but pleasant to be associated with, much less driving for them while ‘Old Man Potter’ was alive - who had a bad habit of his arrogance override the realities of racing; you can make good cars to win, but you need to have good drivers to do so. Unfortunately for Enzo, he never realized this until after the 1982 Imola Crisis - which ended up entombing his own team into disaster until after he died. Great racing enthusiast & manufacturer, but lousy at team management. Though he deserved some slack because the poor b@stard was caught in a Italian civil war between his wife and his goddammit mother. RIP Enzo ✝️🌿🌎🌤 One of many men tortured by women’s BS.

No way the lotus 49 67 is the best looking car of all time

No way jordan 191...... etc

Haters gonna hate

When has it not been?

My face when no driver deaths 😡

Sevel thats a bit selfish think of the victims family instead of the sport these drivers are humans to so they have a life

@@thethirdman225 Since spoilt brat Kart racers became drivers and got pampered. From 2014 on is the worse examples.

Agreed ..... BUT they were racing the OLD FULL track.....................

Máté Ágoston Except that you only saw the cars once every four minutes. Sounds quite boring actually.

Just finished the book this past week. Good read, although most of the book covers the years leading up to 1961, as opposed to the actual season itself. Provides a good background to the careers of Hill and von Trips leading up to the climax at Monza '61.

Great book! 👌

Read the book several years ago. Great, great read and I highly recommend it to everyone interested in Grand Prix racing.

"The Limit" is excellent. Great narrative; conveys 1950's western U.S. and European social atmosphere--at least as experienced by top-level racing drivers. Check out "The Cruel Sport" by Robert Daley. Insightful writing and photos, primarily of early 1.5 litre F1. Drivers, cars, circuits profiled, along with racing's classy/psychotic/romantic appeal...and violent early death's likely triumph. Classic.

naughtmoses No I haven’t. Thank you for the tip.

+Ellemerob According to...?

+naughtmoses pg 233 of the book that you're recommending below.

Indeed. "A tiny pebble had lodged in Hill's eye on the twentieth lap. He drove the last third of the race half blind. ... Once again Tavoni held out a sign freezing positions..."

+naughtmoses ' but he [Hill] called it ' more of a joke than a race' because of Tavoni's orchestration.' Contrived result. What's your point?

+Ellemerob That contrived result decided the championship that year, won by Hill by a point over the by then deceased Von Trips.

+Chester Kitty Both died by racing accident. :(

Lucien was Jules Great Uncle.

And now it's 60 years ago

I know this is a old comment but just had to say you made my day, ha ha ha ha

Yilmaz Ayten And drivers got killed all the time.

Go to the football games, if you like balls so much. Men loving balls, I don't want to hear it. You English speakers bringing up those testicles all the fucking time, please stop that strange hobbit. Or habit. What is it...

I dont care how old this comment is. How fucking dare you insult people who race in motorsport today just because they dont go out to race with a large chance of dying. Even now racers still die. You are a cancer on this earth

Spectators had balls, but no brains unfortunately. Check out the '55 LeMans and '61 Monza.

Except that you have to sit up.

I seem to remember 4 alfas in 1950 British GP
