British racer Stirling Moss put together an impressive weekend in his R.R.C. Walker Racing Team run Lotus-Climax to take pole, fastest lap and victory to open his season as one of the favourites for the Championship. Americans Richie Ginther and Phil Hill claimed second and third in their Ferraris, after a race spent stalking the older Lotus 18 which was down on horsepower and carried some minor panel damage for the majority of the race.
