Gallery: 1957 Formula 1 Grand Prix season celebrated

25th September 2017

The 1957 Formula One Season has long been remembered in racing folklore. With the 2017 Revival marking the 60th anniversary since this iconic year, it seemed fitting to pay tribute to one of the sport’s greatest seasons. 

1957 marked a vintage year for Formula One, with the introduction of mid-engined machinery bringing about change that, once fully proven, the sport would not look back from. Some of the sport’s greatest protagonists pushed the limits at greater and greater speeds around the world’s motor circuits.

Two of those most famous and fabled racers were Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss, who both tussled for the Championship throughout the whole season. Fangio would later take the spoils, with four victories in his new Maserati 250F to Moss’ three in the Vanwall. It meant, incredibly, that all 7 of the FIA-mandated championship races had been won by either the Argentine or the Brit.

It marked Fangio’s fourth consecutive Formula One Championships, and his fifth in total, securing him as one of the greatest of all time. 

Another notable participant of this season was Goodwood local Mike Hawthorn, who failed to score a victory aboard his Ferrari which Fangio famously and shrewdly chose to leave before the start of the season.

The 2017 Revival featured ten cars from the 1957 season pay tribute to one of the great romantic golden ages of Formula One where drivers competed in polo helmets and shirt sleeves, without seatbelts, sat atop huge snarling V8 and V12 machines. A remarkable tribute, to remarkable men, from a remarkable time.
