On this day in May 1959, after many years of trying, the British BRM team finally won its very first Grand Prix at Zandvoort. It was also a first for Sweden's Jo Bonnier who had led most of the race until Stirling Moss took command 15 laps from the end, only to retire his Cooper with gearbox problems 3 laps later, leaving the winner's laurels to 'Gentleman Jo'.
