Regarding this accident there is a great interview of Fangio (the best of all
times) in spanish explaining how the accident happened and how he saved his
life.
Of what I can remenber Fangio says that the accident was caused because
Hawthorn in his Jaguar made an abrupt change of course to enter pits,
believing that the Healey was slower, and this made the Healey to change
course to avoid hitting the Jag and getting slammed in the back by the
Mercedes.
Fangio says that when he was entering the straight he saw all the
public looking in the same direction and that no one in the public was looking
at the incoming cars, which is normal, and therefore he suspected that
something had happened in the straight and he slowed down and this way he
saved his life....
