Talk:1959 United States Grand Prix

1956 season
The article says "For the first time in nine years, three drivers had the chance to win the championship in the last race." Is this true? The 1956 season article claims three drivers had a chance then, although the race report only mentions two. Camcurwood (talk) 19:02, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The 1956 article is wrong. Even though he was only 8 points behind Fangio, Behra could not win the championship. Because a driver could only count their best 5 scores, Behra's maximum points total was 27 points and Fangio already had 30. DH85868993 (talk) 07:33, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * However, three drivers were in contention going into the final race in 1951 (see Talk:1951 Spanish Grand Prix). I've updated the text accordingly. (The 1956 article has since been corrected, btw). DH85868993 (talk) 21:18, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

... typo ~
... it's not Alesandro de Tomaso. It's Alejandro de Tomaso - asj.

"Protests ensued from nearly every other team, most vociferously Ferrari, whose man, Brooks, was displaced on the front row. The shouting match raged even as "The Star-Spangled Banner" was being sung, but when it was through, Schell started from third place.

What had really happened with Schell did not come out until after the race. At Sebring, just beyond the MG bridge and before the esses was a sharp right turn that apparently led nowhere. Schell found, however, that it connected with the end of the Warehouse Straight, bypassing the entire straight and the Warehouse Hairpin. He had secretly cut across and come back on the course during a lull in the traffic--and cut six seconds off his time! Alas, it didn't help him in the race; he was eighth after the first lap and retired after only six." Mobile mundo (talk) 20:54, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
