Fangio qualified on pole with a lap of 1:42.7, ahead of Peter Collins (Ferrari), Stirling Moss (Vanwall), Tony Brooks (Vanwall), and Mike Hawthorn (Ferrari). The Maserati factory fielded several 250Fs that weekend, including three lightweights; Fangio’s was the proven straight-six version rather than the experimental V12 prototype, which was less suitable for the tight street circuit. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1adg3ll r-1g7jtus r-1x3r274\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003eAt the start, Fangio and Moss contested the lead closely into the first corners. On lap 4, Moss crashed at Sainte-Dévote (braking too late into the harbor area), triggering a multi-car incident that also eliminated Collins and Hawthorn’s Ferraris. Fangio arrived on the scene, carefully threaded through the debris (his right wheels even went over a post), and emerged in the clear lead. He later described arriving “at no more than walking pace” amid the scattered posts and confusion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1adg3ll r-1x3r274 r-p1pxzi\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003eFrom there he controlled the race, with Brooks the only serious challenger in the surviving Vanwall (Brooks finished second, about 25 seconds behind, despite a damaged car and a difficult gearbox that left his hand badly blistered). Fangio’s winning time was 3:10:12.8; he also set the fastest lap at 1:45.6. Masten Gregory took third in another Maserati. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1adg3ll r-1x3r274 r-p1pxzi\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003eThis was Fangio’s second win of the 1957 season (after Argentina) and his third career Monaco victory. It formed part of the campaign in which he secured his fifth and final World Championship title driving the elegant, front-engined 250F—one of the most celebrated cars of the era. The result highlighted both the car’s balance and Fangio’s experience and composure on a demanding street circuit where rivals’ aggression led to early retirements.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"html-div xdj266r x14z9mp x1lziwak xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x1e56ztr\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1f6kntn xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u\"\u003eOnly 50 of these numbered limited editions will be made available and all come with a COA signed by the artist Mark J Davey.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"html-div xdj266r x14z9mp x1lziwak xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x1e56ztr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1f6kntn xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"html-div xdj266r x14z9mp x1lziwak xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x1e56ztr\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1f6kntn xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u\"\u003eOverall size including border: 470mm x 347mm (13.66\"x 18.5\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mark J Davey Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58868468515141,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/6737\/7989\/files\/Maserati250F-Fangio-WithBorderDetails.png?v=1786633590","url":"https:\/\/markjdaveyart.com\/products\/maserati-250f-with-fangio-at-the-wheel-limited-edition-giclee-print-with-coa","provider":"Mark J Davey Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
