 Fangio was losing time to Moss and Hans Herrmann, and when he got to Rome the engine was still not running smoothly.Again Fangio was sent away by the mechanics.And when he got to Florence, a few loud bangs were heard, so the mechanics raised the bonnet and they found that one of the fuel injection pipes had broken, so Fangio’s 300 SLR was running on 7 cylinders instead of 8; this could not be repaired and Fangio drove all the way back to Brescia with a misfiring engine, finishing in 2nd behind Moss.
