Alberto Ascari
Ferrari 500 F2
Spa 1952
at the first lap no red car to be seen,it is the BRM from Behra,Brooks in the Vanwall and the Coopers of Brabham and Trintignant....
Ascari in his Lancia pasing the pits.The two Mercedes' were not as reliable as they were fast,first Fangio then Moss would retire with mechanical problems.Just as Ascari would take over the lead he crashed into the Monaco harbour,a spectacular accident which he survived,only to be killed in a testing accident a few days later...
After the Merceds' and Lancias were out of the way,the road was clear for local hero Maurice Trintignant in his Ferrari to take a fortunate but popular win. sold
