May, 1956 — Fellow Ferrari drivers Juan Manuel Fangio and Eugenio Castellotti share words at the Monaco Grand Prix. – Photo by Thomas McAvoy for LIFE magazine. The fiery Castellotti had a gorgeous girlfriend, actress Delia Scalato, to match his own good looks and suave style. His racing talent and bank account were also not lacking– he was a silver spooner who had inherited a substantial family fortune. At 21 yrs old, he bought himself a Ferrari 166S, and pursued racing. His looks, aggression and skill quickly thrust him into the limelight– as he became one of Italy’s top drivers with an ever-growing and adoring entourage. via

May, 1956 — Ferrari driver Peter Collins (just 23 yrs old at the time) standing next to his Lancia/Ferrari d50 race car with beautiful, soon-to-be-wife, the American actress Louise Cordier (“Seven Year Itch”) at the Monaco Grand Prix. They married in February, 1957 and had just six short months together as husband & wife before Peter was killed driving in the ’58 German Grand Prix. – Photo by Thomas McAvoy for LIFE magazine.
Under the wing of the well-seasoned Juan Manuel Fangio, Peter Collins’ driving skills flourished incredibly. He won at both Spa-Francorchamps and Reims, and went on to the Monza finale with a chance of taking the title. What followed has become legend (if not always accurately reported).
When Fangio retired with steering failure, it was clear that taking the win and extra point for fastest lap could deliver Peter Collins the Championship. By lap 30 of 50, he was solidly in second place, and while Moss’ Maserati was some way ahead, Collins still had a chance to take the lead. On lap 45, Moss ran out of fuel, and his team-mate Piotti came up from behind and pushed him to the pits. Fangio, meanwhile was expected to take over Luigi Musso’s car, to seek the one point that would retain his title– but Musso boldly ignored all instructions to hand over his car. When Collins came in on lap 35 for a tire check, he spotted Fangio on the pit wall, and voluntarily offered his car– giving up any chance to win the title himself, and handing the World Championship to Fangio. Collins was a true class act for that selfless gesture of sportsmanship. viaComment
