1957 German Grand Prix

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1957 German Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on 4 August 1957 at Nürburgring. Juan Manuel Fangio overcame a considerable gap to the leaders to win the race and the 1957 Word Championship in what many, including Fangio himself, consider his greatest performance. This performance was rated by the editors of Motorsport magazine as the single greatest drive in auto racing history.

To increase participation, the organizers opened the field to Formula 2 cars. The two races were run at the same time but the Formula 2 entries (shown in yellow) were not eligible for World Championship points and some sources don’t consider these starts in career stats.
