The archive is really confusing, but what seems to have happened at the last race which was the Italian is:

(1) Fangio drove both Ferrari #26 with Collins which was awarded 2nd place. Collins got 3 points finishing with 25, and Fangio got -3 points finishing with 30, and,

(2) Fangio also drove Ferrari #22 with Castelloti which finished 8th. No points, and,

(3) Moss drove - all by himself - Ferrari #36. He won and got nine points finishing with 27.

Fangio therefore won the championship with 30 points.

The funny thing is that it looks as if Fangio had sat out the race or not finished he would have wound up with 33 points.

Whatever happened, he drove the last 15 laps in Collins' car and won the championship.
