A number in the first column means classified. DNF, DNQ and DNS stand for retirement, did not qualify and did not start. ‘shared’ marks a car that two drivers shared between them – permitted in the 1950s, and both were classified.

Gap to the leader

How far behind each driver was as every lap ended – the margins the running order hides.

0+10+20+30+405101520253035404550LapANTPIALECRUSNORHAMGASVER0+10+20+30+4011223344Lap
Seconds behind the leader as each lap ends, from the lap times. A line that flattens out together with the others is a safety car; a sudden step down is a pit stop. Gaps beyond 40 seconds run off the bottom edge. This is the gap on the road: time penalties given after the flag are not in it.
