Phil Hill drove a Lotus 25 during practice with a camera attached to the nose, recording for MGM film, "Grand Prix" and wearing #20, but this was not really a race participant. Despite offers of money from MGM, the car was not allowed to start the race, even from the back of the grid. Brabham, BRM, Cooper, Ferrari and McLaren were the only marques to have dedicated 3-litre cars at this first race.
