Luigi Musso (28 July 1924 Rome – 6 July 1958 Reims-Gueux) was an Italian racing driver. In 1955 he joined the Ferrari team entering into a fierce rivalry with Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins which boosted the performance of the team but also encouraged greater risk-taking. According to Musso’s fiancée he was deep in debt by the time of the lucrative 1958 French Grand Prix where he was killed somersaulting into a ditch while chasing Hawthorn.
