Watch: Ferrari one-two at Silverstone with Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn | 1958 British GP. Peter Collins' final F1 victory.

On 19th July 1958, Ferrari driver Peter Collins won the British Grand Prix, held at Silverstone circuit. It was race 7 of 11 in the 1958 World Championship of Drivers and race 6 of 10 in the 1958 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers.

At the wheel of a 246 F1, the Englishman took his third and last Formula 1 victory, finishing ahead of his team-mate, friend and fellow countryman Mike Hawthorn. The win came a couple of weeks after the tragic French Grand Prix held on 6th July, when Ferrari driver Luigi Musso lost his life. But death had not finished taking its toll on Formula 1 and, on 3rd August at the Nurbugring, on lap 11 of the 15 lap German Grand Prix, it was Collins in fact who paid the highest price possible for his love of racing.
