anyhow, the rules were different then too, a point was given for fastest lap, only the top 6 scores were take. moss only finished 5 races.

and im not sure if i follow you here:
He argued for them to take away his title, to be fair to Hawthorne.

He got out of the car and pushed it down the track.

Moss won the race. With Hawthorne's disqualification in the final race, Moss had the championship. Moss intervened with the race officials, and supported Hawthorne's appeal. The disqualification was overturned. Hawthorne got second pace. With the points from that 2nd, he won the championship, beating Moss. In the spirit of gentlemen drivers, Moss ended up giving up his title by supporting Hawthorne's appeal.
