High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1957 Formula One season included the 8th FIA Formula One World Championship season, which commenced on January 13, 1957, and ended on September 8 after eight races. Juan Manuel Fangio won his fourth consecutive title, his fifth in total, in his final Championship - a remarkable feat that would not be matched for nearly 50 years. Fangio chose to switch teams again, joining Maserati before the start of the season. The decision to switch proved to be a masterstroke, with Ferrari's line-up of Peter Collins, Eugenio Castellotti and the returning Mike Hawthorn failing to win a race. Castellotti and Alfonso de Portago were killed in action, making this a truly disastrous year for Ferrari. The man Fangio replaced at Maserati, Stirling Moss, moved to Vanwall, a team beginning to fulfill their promise. Between them Fangio and Moss won every Grand Prix of the season, Fangio taking four victories to Moss' three. Fangio's drive at the Nurburgring, where he overtook Collins and Hawthorn on the penultimate lap after a pit stop had put him nearly a minute behind, was a classic.
