The Owen's BRM made their first appearance but after qualifying both cars were withdrawn due to engine valve problems.

The other two non-starters were the too-slow Scarlatti and Chiron due to his engine blowing up in practice.

He turned the car over to Castellotti after the pit stop to fix the wheel.

On lap 54 while second, Collins came in the pit and turned his car over to Fangio.

Note: Both BRM cars (Mike Hawthorn and Tony Brooks) withdrew after qualifying due to engine issues.
