[edit] Notes

  • Fastest Lap: Jack Brabham 3'51.900
  • Practice for the event saw Stirling Moss and Mike Taylor injured in separate accidents, Taylor suffering injuries which would end his racing career. In the race, Chris Bristow, driving a year old Cooper for the British Racing Partnership, got off line at Malmedy, crashed, and was killed instantly. Five laps later, Alan Stacey was hit in the face by a bird at Masta and crashed fatally. It would be the darkest weekend for the sport until the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
