Does anyone know the full story here? How did he finish second without a car, and why would he give up his car to Fangio if he was truly on the verge of winning the championship?
It seems like car 26 was classified in second, which was the car first piloted by Collins and then Fangio. They shared the 6 points for second place (3 points for each driver), which meant Collins couldnt overtake Fangio in the championship. Moss received 9 points for the race win + fastest lap.
Why did he give up his car? It was considered "gentleman behaviour" but no idea why exactly.
