It was the eighth and final race of the 1956 World Championship of Drivers. Coming into the race, Juan Manuel Fangio had an eight-point lead over Ferrari teammate Peter Collins and Jean Behra, driving for Maserati. Fangio retired with a broken steering arm, while Behra also had to pull out. Luigi Musso, also driving for Ferrari, was told to hand his car over to Fangio to ensure the Argentine's third consecutive title but he refused. Brit Collins, with the opportunity for his first world championship, sportingly handed his car over to Fangio during a routine pit-stop. Fangio finished second, behind Stirling Moss, giving himself and Collins a share of the points for second place and ensuring his fourth title. The race saw the World Championship debuts of Jo Bonnier (the first Swede to do so), Les Leston, and Wolfgang von Trips, and the final World Championship appearances for Hermano da Silva Ramos, Toulo de Graffenried, Robert Manzon, Piero Taruffi, and Luigi Villoresi. Ron Flockhart scored his first World Championship points and podium finish, and it was the first World Championship race led by Musso. With Collins having a share of second place, this was the first World Championship Grand Prix in which British drivers finished one-two-three.Podiums - By one-two-three - United Kingdom https://www.statsf1.com/en/statistiques/nation/podium/detail-united-kingdom--triple.aspx live April 25, 2021 StatsF1 https://web.archive.org/web/20180128055425/http://www.statsf1.com/en/statistiques/nation/podium/detail-united-kingdom--triple.aspx 2018-01-28 Classification Qualifying +PosNoDriverConstructorTimeGap1 22 ARG Juan Manuel Fangio Ferrari 2:42.6—2 24 ITA Eugenio Castellotti Ferrari 2:43.4 +0.83 28 ITA Luigi Musso Ferrari 2:43.7 +1.14 16 ITA Piero Taruffi Vanwall 2:45.4 +2.85 32 FRA Jean Behra Maserati 2:45.6 +3.06 36 GBR Stirling Moss Maserati 2:45.9 +3.37 26 GBR Peter Collins Ferrari 2:46.0 +3.48 34 ITA Luigi Villoresi Maserati 2:47.7 +5.19 30 ESP 1945 Alfonso de Portago Ferrari 2:47.8 +5.210 18 USA 1912 Harry Schell Vanwall 2:50.1 +7.511 20 FRA Maurice Trintignant Vanwall 2:51.6 +9.012 46 ITA Umberto Maglioli Maserati 2:52.7 +10.113 44 GBR Roy Salvadori Maserati 2:54.6 +12.014 40 ITA Luigi Piotti Maserati 2:58.6 +16.015 6 GBR Jack Fairman Connaught-Alta 2:59.2 +16.616 42 ITA Gerino Gerini Maserati 3:02.6 +20.017 38 ESP 1945 Paco Godia Maserati 3:02.9 +20.318 14 CHE Toulo de Graffenried Maserati 3:03.3 +20.719 2 GBR Les Leston Connaught-Alta 3:04.3 +21.720 8 BRA 1889 Hermano da Silva Ramos Gordini 3:04.8 +22.221 48 GBR Bruce Halford Maserati 3:05.0 +22.422 10 FRA Robert Manzon Gordini 3:06.6 +24.023 4 GBR Ron Flockhart Connaught-Alta 3:08.1 +25.524 12 FRA André Simon Gordini 3:13.3 +30.7DNS Did not start 50 DEU Wolfgang von Trips Ferrari Source:http://chicanef1.com/race.pl?year=1956&gp=Italian%20GP&r=1&type=qual 1956 Italian GP Qualification www.chicanef1.com 22 July 2020 Race Pos No Driver Constructor Laps Time/Retired Grid Points 1 36 GBR Stirling Moss Maserati 50 2:23:41.3 6 91 1 2 26 GBR Peter CollinsARG Juan Manuel Fangio Ferrari 50 +5.7 secs 7 33 3 4 GBR Ron Flockhart Connaught-Alta 49 +1 Lap 23 4 4 38 ESP 1945 Paco Godia Maserati 49 +1 Lap 17 3 5 6 GBR Jack Fairman Connaught-Alta 47 +3 Laps 15 2 6 40 ITA Luigi Piotti Maserati 47 +3 Laps 14 7 14 CHE Toulo de Graffenried Maserati 46 +4 Laps 18 8 22 ARG Juan Manuel FangioITA Eugenio Castellotti Ferrari 46 +4 Laps 1 9 12 FRA André Simon Gordini 45 +5 Laps 24 10 42 ITA Gerino Gerini Maserati 42 +8 Laps 16 11 44 GBR Roy Salvadori Maserati 41 +9 Laps 13 Ret Retired 28 ITA Luigi Musso Ferrari 47 Steering 3 Ret Retired 46 ITA Umberto MaglioliFRA Jean Behra Maserati 42 Steering 12 Ret Retired 18 USA 1912 Harry Schell Vanwall 32 Transmission 10 Ret Retired 32 FRA Jean Behra Maserati 23 Magneto 5 Ret Retired 48 GBR Bruce Halford Maserati 16 Engine 21 Ret Retired 20 FRA Maurice Trintignant Vanwall 13 Transmission 11 Ret Retired 16 ITA Piero Taruffi Vanwall 12 Oil Leak 4 Ret Retired 24 ITA Eugenio Castellotti Ferrari 9 Tyre 2 Ret Retired 34 ITA Luigi VilloresiSWE Jo Bonnier Maserati 7 Engine 8 Ret Retired 10 FRA Robert Manzon Gordini 7 Chassis 22 Ret Retired 30 ESP 1945 Alfonso de Portago Ferrari 6 Tyre 9 Ret Retired 2 GBR Les Leston Connaught-Alta 6 Suspension 19 Ret Retired 8 BRA 1889 Hermano da Silva Ramos Gordini 3 Engine 20 DNS Did not start 50 DEU Wolfgang von Trips Ferrari Practice Accident Source:https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/1956/races/149/italy/race-result.html 1956 Italian Grand Prix formula1.com 27 August 2018 Notes 1 1 – Includes 1 point for fastest lap Shared drives and championship permutations Shared Drives: Car #26: Peter Collins (35 laps) and Juan Manuel Fangio (15 laps).
