1-2-3-4 for Mercedes: Stirling Moss wins GP from Fangio by one-fifth of a second and sets new Aintree circuit record
Stirling Moss realised the ambition of his life by winning the 10th British Grand Prix last Saturday. The race was a complete and utter triumph for Mercedes-Benz, the four cars finishing 1-2-3-4. Possibly the greatest crowd ever to watch a motor racing meeting in this country flocked to Aintree and caused the biggest traffic hold-up ever experienced in the city of Liverpool. It was estimated that more than 145,000 people were present at the circuit.
