Description of the original vehicle:

In 1957, Maserati was at the peak of its racing development. After Juan Manuel Fangio returned to the Maserati works team, he won numerous Grand Prix races in his Maserati 250 F (lightweight construction) and was able to celebrate his fifth Grand Prix World Championship at the end of the season.
Juan Manuel Fangio entered his name on the winners' list at the very first round of the Formula 1 World Championship at the Monaco Grand Prix on 19 May 1957.
After an initially dramatic race with many changes of position and several spins involving the Lancia / Ferrari drivers and the British Vanwall cars, Fangio was able to pull away from the field with starting number 32 and cruise to an unchallenged victory. British racing driver Tony Brooks finished second in his Vanwall.
