| | Formula One History - The Early Years |
 | | On 10 April 1950, Juan Manuel Fangio, in a Maserati, won the Pau Grand Prix, the first contest to be labeled an "International Formula One" race. |
 | | Moss became the first Briton to win the British Grand Prix, at Aintree in 1955, and the first to do so in a British car, the 1957 Vanwall VW5. |
 | | His career declined, leading to retirement, following accidents during the 1960 Belgium Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, where Moss was thrown from the car, breaking both legs, after a rear axle broke at over 130 mph, and an even worse shunt at Goodwood in 1962. |
