    "Schell" is Harry Schell, in his BRM.

    Mike Hawthorn, (No. 5). is driving a Ferrari.

    The race was held on 26 May 1958.

    "Behra" is Jean Behra, in car No. 14.

    "Musso" is Luigi Musso, driving the No. 6 Ferrari.

    NOTE: The clip seems to start late - indeed, the first 4 lines of the shots list are not seen.

    Hhmm. Something obviously went wrong somewhere down the line. We have the film in another digital format and it is also missing the first part. Would be interesting to go back to the original negative for a look.
