The 1958 Season

Britain's Mike Hawthorn won a dramatic and bittersweet world championship for Ferrari, taking the title by a single point over Stirling Moss despite winning just one race to Moss's four. Consistency and a string of podium finishes carried Hawthorn, and his sportsmanship was repaid when Moss famously defended him against disqualification at the Portuguese Grand Prix, an act that may have cost Moss the title.

The first ever Constructors' Championship was introduced and won by Vanwall, making it the first British constructor to take a major F1 honour, with Tony Brooks and Moss leading the charge. The year was marred by the deaths of Luigi Musso, Peter Collins and Stuart Lewis-Evans, and Hawthorn retired immediately after winning the title, only to be killed in a road accident in early 1959.
