Race report

Despite a hesitant start,Moss led away on the first lap from Collins,Fangio and Hawthorn. On lap 4 coming through the tunnel, there was mayhem. Moss went straight on at the chicane,sending debris crashing onto the circuit. Collins crashed into the barriers trying to avoid it and Brooks was attempting to do the same when Hawthorn hit him,tearing off his own front wheel,which splashed into the harbour. Typically,Fangio slowed down and made his way carefully through the carnage to lead on from Brooks' damaged car to the flag.On lap 96,von Trips lost a certain third place when his engine blew up. Brabham inherited it,but he in turn lost the place when his engine cut out at Casino on the last lap-he coasted to the harbour and pushed the car home for 6th place.
