Where: Aintree / Date: 1957

Stirling Moss, in his Vanwall, during the 1957 British Grand Prix at Aintree, on July 20. Moss retired the car after 21 laps with an engine misfire and then took over the car of Tony Brooks which was then in 9th place. With a combination of great skill and some late race good luck, Moss came back to win—the first win of a British car and driver in over 30 years.
