Alfa Romeo fielded four drivers for their home event. Fangio looked set to take his first title for Alfa Romeo whilst the reigning champion, Giuseppe Farina had still a faint hope of reclaiming his title distanced after an unreliable season. Felice Bonetto and Consalvo Sanesi were called in to occupy the third and fourth Alfa Romeo cars. Due to the Ferrari wanting to stay ahead from the Alfa Romeo, they created seven cars, ( their highest amount ). Immediately in the race, the already broken BRM felt even more broken, leading them to withdraw from the race. In this race, Ferrari was the one having a bad start but Ascari knew they could catch up. On lap five, Farina began to drop back due to an engine misfire. After dropping to last place, Farina decided to come into the pits for repairs on lap eight. However the mechanics found a terminal oil system problem, forcing the world champion out of the race. Fangio would then get to fourth place and would start pushing hard for the win, he would also be their only hope at beating Ferrari. Sadly, Fangio would experience a engine cut whilst exiting the Parabolica. He coasted into the pits where the mechanics quickly discovered a cracked fuel tank. The hope was lost and Ferrari won again, specifically, Alberto Ascari with a time of 2" 42' 39.3. Written by Balsamo Giulio See less
