| The Monaco Grand Prix; Monte Carlo, May 18, 1958 |

| Luigi Musso, the great Italian hope of the Ferrari team, trying very hard at the old Tabac corner on the harbor front in his new lightweight 246/F1 which replaced the older V8 cars derived from the Lancia D50 of 1955. Musso qualified in mid-pack, but drove a steady race to finish second behind Trintignant’s privately-entered two-liter Cooper. It was becoming more obvious now that the days of the front-engined Grand Prix cars were numbered. This section of the Monte Carlo circuit along the harbor was over stone slabs, very slippery when wet, and very dusty when dry as can be seen. |
