Juan Manuel Fangio in his Maserati 250F, laps the failing BRM of Flockhart chased by Tony Brooks in his Vanwall at the Monaco GP 1957
Despite a hesitant start, Stirling Moss led away on the first lap from Collins, Fangio, and Hawthorn. On lap 4 coming out of the tunnel, there was mayhem. Moss went straight through the chicane, sending debris from the wrecked barrier crashing onto the circuit. Collins crashed through the quayside barriers trying to avoid it. Fangio and Brooks slowed to make their way through the carnage. Brooks’ effort was for nought, being hit by Mike Hawthorn’s Ferrari, which lost a wheel. Fangio took the lead from Brooks’ damaged car and held it to the chequered flag.
