Jamie Chadwick got off to a flying start once again, as the W Series racer claimed a fourth race win in a row in Miami
Among the casualties of the deadly 1950s era in which Tony Brooks raced was his promising team-mate at Vanwall in 1957 and 1958, Stuart Lewis-Evans.
The Luton-born racer made his name in 500cc racing before Connaught gave him his break in Formula 1. When that team disbanded, Vanwall picked him up, and he became a valued and highly rated team-mate to Brooks and Stirling Moss. By 1958, he was managed by a sharp character by the name of Bernie Ecclestone and contributed to Vanwall becoming the first F1 constructors’ champion with third-place finishes in Belgium and Portugal.
Tragically, Lewis-Evans’ promise was lost for good at the Moroccan GP in Casablanca, where he crashed in flames when his transmission locked. Terribly burnt, he was flown back to the UK to the specialist burns unit at East Grinstead Hospital but succumbed to his injuries six days later, aged just 28.
