    Race Review:

    The German Grand Prix featured a huge field of cars with Ferrari turning up with four cars, Wolfgang von Trips, Phil Hill and Richie Ginther being joined by Willy Mairesse, although the Belgian had an older engine in his car. Jack Brabham had the new Climax V8 FWMV engine for the first time in his factory Cooper, while Porsche had four cars, Edgar Barth joining Jo Bonnier, Dan Gurney and Hans Herrmann.

    Qualifying saw Hill record a remarkable lap of 8m55.2s, which was nearly six seconds faster than Brabham's best, with Moss third quickest in his Rob Walker Lotus 18. Bonnier completed the front row in his Porsche. The second row featured von Trips, Graham Hill in his BRM and Gurney.

    The race started in damp conditions and Brabham led the field away only to spin out and crash on that first lap. This put Moss in the lead ahead of Bonnier and Gurney. Phil Hill charged up and took the lead during the first lap by Moss put the American back in his place before they reached the finish line again. Moss would stay ahead for the rest of the race while von Trips came up and overtook Hill for second after a long battle. Towards the end of the race it started to rain but this had no effect on Moss. He extended his lead...
