Mais celui qui attire tous les regards c'est "Chris Lewis", né Christian LUIS que l'on avait déjà vu au GP d'Allemagne, marqué lui aussi par une pléthore d'engagés. Mais cette fois, c'est sa voiture qui surprend tout le monde.



Christian Luis (19e Août 1943) est un pilote de course anglais né à Algeciras, en Espagne, d'une mère anglaise et d'un père espagnol, qui se retrouva prisonnier, en Avril 1943 à cause de ses services sous la Seconde République espagnole pendant la guerre Civir espagnole. Après avoir été arrêté, il a été réduit en esclavage, obligé de travailler sans cesse à la construction avec d'autres captifs de l'Abadía Benedictina de la Santa Cruz del Valle de los Caídos (un monument commencé par le dictateur Francisco Franco Bahamonde en 1940 et terminé 18 ans plus tard) jusqu'à leur exécution en 1945. Pendant ce temps, Christian et sa mère se sont réfugiés à Gibraltar. Le petit enfant ne connaîtra jamais le sort de son père absent jusqu'en 1960.
