Formula One racing driver Tony Brooks passed away this week at 90 years of age. Known as the "racing dentist", he took part in 39 F1 Grand Prix races during his career, achieving six victories and finishing third in the World Drivers' Championship in 1958 with Vanwall and second in 1959 with Ferrari.

We look back to the 1958 Belgian Grand Prix at the 8.75 mile Spa Francorchamps circuit, where Tony Brooks marked his first Grand Prix win of the season with a dominant drive behind the wheel of a Vanwall.

He was the last remaining driver to win a Grand Prix in the 1950s.
