1957年英国大奖赛 - 在安特里(Aintree)赛道舉行。在1955年和1962年间,比赛在靠近利物浦的安特里赛道举办过五次英国大奖赛,这条赛道正好靠近著名的赛马场,全国越野障碍赛马每年都在那里举行。1955年,在安特里举行的第一场比赛发展成为了那个时代两位伟大车手之间最令人难忘的竞赛。传说中的胡安-曼纽尔-范吉奥 (Juan Manuel Fangio) 和年轻的斯特灵-莫斯 (Stirling Moss) 这两位传奇人物都效力于梅塞德兹车队,在那个时候占有统治性地位的车队。莫斯以0.2秒的领先从经验比他丰富的队友手中拿到了杆位。在比赛中,两人的速度都非常快。范吉奥和第三名卡尔-克林之间在抵达终点时的差距超过了一分钟。而渴望赢得胜利的莫斯则是以最微弱的领先让自己成为了第一个赢得英国大奖赛的英国人。比赛之后,有传言说是范吉奥故意让自己的队友在家乡赛中获胜,但阿根廷人从未证实这一点。更进一步,比赛也标志着杰克-布拉布汉姆 (Jack Brabham) 的出场,虽然他的库珀-布里斯托尔退赛,没能让他把车开到终点。安特里赛道见证过几场激动人心的比赛,由于莫斯获得了另外一场比赛的胜利。这次 (1957年) 是和在万沃尔 (Vanwall) 车队的英国同胞托尼-布鲁克斯 (Tony Brooks) 分享 。布拉布汉姆在1959年获胜,他本可以在同一年成为世界冠军。1961年,法拉利车队的沃尔夫岗-凡-切普斯、费尔-希尔和瑞切-吉瑟分别拿到了第一、第二和第三名。在这里举行的最后一场大奖赛是在1962年,吉姆-克拉克 (Jim Clark) 驾驶着他的莲花-克莱曼克斯轻松取胜,比驾驶罗拉-克莱曼克斯取得第二名的约翰-舒特斯快了49秒穿过终点。(http://f1.sports.sohu.com/20060605/n243575591.shtml)<p></p></P>

Sir Stirling Moss OBE (born September 17, 1929 in London) is a British former racing driver from England. His success in a variety of categories placed him among the world's elite - he is often called "the greatest driver never to win the World Championship". Moss, who raced from 1948 to 1962, won 194 of the 497 races he entered, including 16 Formula One Grands Prix. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_Moss)</P>

Vanwall was a Formula One team in the 1950's. The Vanwall name was derived by combining the name of the team owner Tony Vandervell with that of his patented Thinwall bearings, which were produced at his Vandervell Products factory at Acton, just outside London. The first actual Vanwalls were known as Vanwall Specials and were built for the new Formula 1 regulations in 1954 at Cox Green,Maidenhead. The chassis was designed by Owen Maddock and built by the Cooper Car Company. The 2.0 L engine was designed by Norton engineer Leo Kuzmicki, and was essentially four Norton single-cylinder 500cc engines merged into a single unit. The car appeared in a Grande Epreuve for the first time in that year's British Grand Prix. Development continued with boring out the engines to a full 2.5 L. Vanwalls then ran for a season in F1 without much in the way of success. At the end of the 1955 season, it was plain that while the engine was sound, the chassis needed improvement. It was suggested to Vandervell that he should hire the services of a young up-and-coming designer to improve their cars. The designer was Colin Chapman. The new cars designed by Chapman (along with the aerodynamicist Frank Costin) showed early promise in 1956 by winning a non-championship F1 race at Silverstone against strong opposition. Stirling Moss drove the car to victory in what was his only drive for Vanwall that year, as he was still contracted to drive for Maserati in F1. Talented drivers Harry Schell and Maurice Trintignant were the full-timers for the season. However, neither of them had much success although the car showed obvious potential. With the car developing and becoming ever more competitive, Moss eventually decided to drive for the team in 1957. He was joined by two Englishmen, Tony Brooks and Stuart Lewis-Evans. As the 1957 season unfolded, the cars became faster and more reliable. Moss and Brooks duly shared Vanwall's first Grand Prix victory in Britain at Aintree, and Moss went on to win both the Italian and Pescara Grands Prix. All three drivers stayed with the team in 1958, and Moss and Brooks each won three championship races that season. Vanwall became the first team to win the Constructors Championship, held for the first time that season. However, Moss lost out to Mike Hawthorn in the drivers' championship by a single point. Their triumph at the end of the season was sadly marred when, during the final race of the year in Morocco, Lewis-Evans was fatally injured in an accident. The 1958 season was the last one in which Vanwall entered every race. Vandervell's health was failing and he had been advised by his doctors to rest. The team continued half-heartedly. Brooks made one appearance in a lower and lighter Vanwall in the 1959 British Grand Prix and the team tried again with another car in the 1960 French Grand Prix. These efforts lacked the seriousness of the past however and they were unsuccessful. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanwall)<p></p></P>

Aintree Racecourse is a British racecourse in Aintree, Liverpool, on Merseyside. Aintree has also been used as a venue for motor racing. Built in 1954 as the "Goodwood of the North", hence the fact the two venues has so many things in common. The British Grand Prix was staged there on five occasions, in 1955, 1957, 1959, 1961 and 1962. Aintree was the location for the famous race in 1955 in which Stirling Moss won his first British Grand Prix, driving a Mercedes. Two years later, he and Tony Brooks (sharing the Vanwall) became the first British drivers to win both the British Grand Prix and a round of the Formula 1 World Championship, whilst driving a British car, a Vanwall. The 1957 Grand Prix also took the title of Grand Prix de Europe and was the premier Formula 1 event of the season, attracting 150 000 spectators.

In the lead up to the British Grand Prix patriotic fervour had continued to grow. Tony Brooks' second place in Monaco combined with the fact that Moss had started from a front row position in the same race meant that an all British victory was at hand. At Aintree Moss got the crowd excited by taking pole position and come race day an enormous crowd had gathered at the Aintree circuit, just north of Liverpool. Moss took an early lead ahead of France's Jean Behra. Twenty-one laps into the race it looked like the dream was over when Moss retired with a misfiring engine. Behra took over the lead while Brooks brought his car in and handed it over to Moss. By now Moss was back in ninth position but with 69 laps to go there was still a chance. Stirling rose to the challenge and passed car after car in what amounted to little more than a blur of lap records. By lap 60 Moss was in fifth place. The Maserati pit crews alerted Behra who upped his pace and began to match Stirling for speed. Moss passed Collins and supported by his team-mate Lewis-Evans he began to attack Hawthorn who was running in second place. On lap 69 disaster struck for Behra as his gearbox simply exploded then Hawthorn punctured a tyre on the Frenchman's debris. Suddenly Moss was in the lead, a position he held until the end of the race. For the first time a British driver had won in a British car at World Championship level. It was truly an historic day and Stirling was the pride of all Britain.

The Lotus 25 was a racing car designed by Colin Chapman for the 1962 Formula One season. It was a revolutionary design, the first fully stressed monocoque chassis to appear in Formula One. The monocoque made the car more rigid and structurally stronger than typical F1 cars of the period. The 25 was powered by the Mk.II 1496cc through to the Mk.5 1499cc versions of the Coventry Climax FWMV V8 in crossplane and flatplane formats. In the hands of Jim Clark it took 14 World Championship Grand Prix wins and propelled him to his 1963 World Championship title with seven wins in 1963 alone. (en.wikipedia.org/Lotus 25)
Vanwall [1] withdrew from F1 after 1961, but in its place were to come a series of dominant British Grand Prix teams, making British racing green the “official” color of F1 for a more than a decade — and ushering in an era of British F1 engineering excellence that extends to today. Between 1962 and 1973, British Formula One teams won 12 World Championships with drivers the likes of Scots Jim Clark [2] and Jackie Stewart [3][4], Australian Jack Brabham, Englishman Graham Hill [5][6] and New Zealander Denny Hulme. It started in 1959-60 with the Cooper team [7], using a 2,500 cc Coventry-Climax engine and a new iteration of their astonishingly innovative rear-engine design, coupled with front-mounted radiator, which captured back-to-back F1 titles for Jack Brabham with a combination of superb weight distribution and handling. (Driving a “works” Cooper along with Brabham to second place in the 1960 World Championship was young New Zealander Bruce McLaren [8] — whose real fame, like Enzo Ferrari, came later as a team owner.) Every F1 World Champion since has been sitting in front of his engine.
Yet it was Colin Chapman’s Team Lotus [2][9], pushed by his engineering brilliance, that dominated the second decade of Formula One. Chapman’s mustache and blue cloth cap — which he threw into the air at trackside whenever Lotus won a race — would become familiar at circuits around the world. He was a constant source of technical innovation, and it is fair to say that Chapman did more than anyone else to change motor racing worldwide. He realized that for racing cars, reliability meant increased weight and lost speed, so there was an advantage in making cars so light they would be at the point of mechanical failure by the end of a race. All too often this meant that Lotus F1 cars collapsed a few miles too early; but when they didn’t, they were unsurpassed. Beginning in 1960 with Moss and Innes Ireland, Lotus thrived on the extraordinary relationship between Chapman and his prodigy driver, Jim Clark[2], who was to make the most of Lotus’ technical advances for F1 cars. The most important of these was the monocoque (or one-piece) chassis, introduced with the Lotus 25 in 1962, which along with rear engines marked the second watershed technological change in Formula One. By reclining the drivers’ position, Chapman was also able to reduce the car’s cross-section, hence aerodynamic drag. Shortly later, Chapman would take things a step further, bolting Coventry-Climax and then Ford Cosworth engines to the rear of his Lotus’ monocoques and hanging the suspension off of them, thus transforming the engine into a stressed member of the car’s chassis itself. Those same three features continue as the fundamental basis of Formula One car design to this day. (The British Era | Formula One Art & Genius)

The 1973 British Grand Prix (formally the John Player Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held at Silverstone on 14 July 1973.
The race is known for the first lap pile-up which ultimately caused eleven cars to retire. The accident happened when Jody Scheckter, running fourth in his McLaren, spun across the track at Woodcote Corner at the end of the first lap, causing many other cars to collide and crash. The incident eliminated nine cars, including all three works Surtees cars, while Brabham driver Andrea de Adamich suffered a broken ankle that ended his F1 career. The race was stopped at the end of the second lap, before being restarted over the original 67-lap distance with 18 of the original 29 cars (David Purley and Graham McRae having also retired in separate incidents).
On the first start, a swift start by Jackie Stewart brought him from fourth to first in less than half a lap. At Becketts Corner, Stewart out-braked race leader Ronnie Peterson and took the lead. However, the massive pile-up at the end of the first lap caused the race to be restarted and Stewart had to start from fourth again. This time it was Niki Lauda who had an excellent start and moved up behind Peterson into second, with Stewart third. Stewart passed Lauda on lap 2, and charged after Peterson. On lap 6, Stewart again tried to pass Peterson for the lead, but the Swedish driver shut the door; Stewart lost control of his Tyrrell and spun off into the thick grass. Although he was able to continue, Stewart ended up finishing 10th, one lap down.
The pile-up was to be a factor in this being the last World Championship F1 race held on the original Silverstone layout: a chicane would be added at Woodcote shortly before the next British Grand Prix at Silverstone two years later. (en.wikipedia.org/1973 British Grand Prix)
1968年后, 赞助厂商和广告标志取代了英国绿色赛车时代。例如,英国蒂勒尔车队赛车不是用绿色,而是用蓝色因为赞助厂商是法国ELF石油公司。请参看第二枚。然而,这一趋势始于1968年,当时莲花车队从绿色改为金箔香菸颜色(红色,奶油色和金色)。请参看摩納哥大獎賽 (Grand Prix de Monaco) 第五楼。1972年,由于帝国烟草(英語:Imperial Tobacco)的赞助,莲花车队颜色又改为黑色和金色,为John Player Special 香菸品牌做广告。
From its introduction in 1967 works Lotus 49s were painted in Lotus's traditional British racing green with yellow centre-stripe. Over the following 16 months the design gained increasing numbers of sponsor patches and large driver name strips, while retaining the traditional base scheme. However, for the 1967-1968 Tasman Series races Team Lotus's 2.5 litre engined 49s were painted red, cream and gold — the colours of Gold Leaf cigarettes — after Chapman signed a lucrative sponsorship deal. This colour scheme was introduced for the 1968 World Championship at the second race of the season, the 1968 Spanish Grand Prix, making Lotus the first works team to paint their cars in the livery of their sponsors. (en.wikipedia.org/Lotus49)
Tyrrell was sponsored by French fuel company Elf since 1970, and Tyrrell would retain the traditional French blue racing colours for most of the rest of its existence. (en.wikipedia.org/Tyrrell Racing)
In 1972, Team Lotus focused again on the type 72 chassis, with Imperial Tobacco continuing its sponsorship of the team under its new John Player Special brand. The cars, now often referred to as 'JPS', were fielded in a new black and gold livery – ca new brand developed to make the most of the promotional power of motorsport. (en.wikipedia.org/Team Lotus)
The 1986 British Grand Prix was won by local driver Nigel Mansell, driving a Williams-Honda. Mansell won after a battle with Brazilian teammate Nelson Piquet, finishing 5.5 seconds ahead. Reigning World Champion, Frenchman Alain Prost, finished third in his McLaren-TAG, one lap adrift. (en.wikipedia.org/1986 British Grand Prix)
The Williams FW11 was a Formula One car designed by Frank Dernie as a serious challenger to McLaren and their MP4/2 car. The car took over from where the FW10 left off at the end of 1985, when that car won the last three races of the season. The FW11's most notable feature was the Honda 1.5 Litre V6 turbo engine, one of the most powerful in F1 at the time producing 800 bhp at 12,000rpm and well over 1,200 bhp at 12,000 rpm in qualifying. Added to the engine's power were the aerodynamics, which were ahead of the MP4/2 and the Lotus 97T. That and its excellent driving pairing of Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell made it a force to be reckoned with. The car was an instantly recognisable product of the turbo era of F1. (en.wikipedia.org/Williams FW11)
