F1's Golden Girl Drives Again
A piece of history was re-enacted over the weekend at Laguna Seca when Formula One's first female driver took to the wheel of a Maserati 250/F at the tender age of 73.

Maria Teresa De Filippis, who was born in Naples in 1926 made her F1 debut in the Maserati at Monaco in 1958, where she unfortunately failed to qualify, but did go on to contest 4 other Grands Prix - the highest placing being in 10th in Belgium. It was the golden age of F1 with the likes of Fangio Moss Hill all competing against the petit Neapolitan driver.

De Filippis whose racing career includes over 200 races and an unequalled second place finish in the Italian championship in 1954-5, was taking part in the festival of motorsport along with various former drivers and champions celebrating Maserati's long and illustrious history
