🏁 #accaddeoggi 🏁 - 13 maggio 1950, Gran Premio di Gran Bretagna. Dopo anni di preparativi andó in scena davanti ad un pubblico di oltre 100.000 spettatori sul circuito permanente di Silverstone la prima gara valevole per il Campionato Mondiale di Formula 1. L'Alfa Romeo mantenne le promesse conquistando l'intero podio con la vittoria dell'italiano Giuseppe Farina (autore anche della pole position e del giro più veloce) davanti a Luigi Fagioli e all'idolo di casa Reg Parnell. Le due Talbot-Lago di Yves Giraud-Cabantous e Louis Rosier completarono la zona punti. Grande assente nel weekend di Silverstone fu la Scuderia Ferrari, in disaccordo economico con gli organizzatori della gara. Il team di Maranello debuttó nel successivo Gran Premio di Monaco. Juan Manuel Fangio, ritenuto il favorito per la vittoria finale del Campionato in virtù dei successi conseguiti in Sud America, fu costretto alla resa nel corso del sessantaduesimo giro per una perdita d'olio. #onthisday #giuseppefarina #ninofarina #alfaromeo #otd #alfaromeoracing #f1 #britishgp #silverstone #happybirthdayf1 #nestedia #formula1 #racing #motorsport https://www.instagram.com/p/CAHLjYAq4JA/?igshid=of3rtkju5cto

1950 Formula 1 World Championship Recap

The inaugural World Championship of Drivers saw Alfa Romeo dominate with their supercharged 158, a well-developed pre-war design, which won all six European Grands Prix. Alfa Romeo drivers consequently dominated the championship with Giuseppe Farina securing the first ever World Championship edging out Juan Manuel Fangio by virtue of his fourth place in Belgium.

Fangio won each of the three races he finished, but Farina's three wins and a fourth place allowed him to take the title.

Nobody would have thought 52-year-old Luigi Fagioli would have earned five podium finishes in six races en route to finishing a remarkable third overall in the first ever FIA World Championship.

In the 1950 World Championship the car won every race in which it competed during that first season. It was incredible that a car which had originated in 1938 was so victorious, most likely because all the other constructors (as few as there were) had less money to build and develop their cars and the Alfa had so much development time.

Formula 1 was off to a great start with the 1950 season. With names like Fangio and Ascari making their presence known and Ferrari making a strong run, it was the beginning of something big this Formula 1 World Championship.

Funny looking back, how even in 1950, there was a desire to bring Formula 1 to the United States.  And just like it's been most of it's life, the USGP at Indy was never something looked forward to by the Formula 1 community.

1950 British Grand Prix - Silverstone

The 1950 British Grand Prix was a significant occasion on for two reasons; one, it was the first ever World Championship Grand Prix, carrying the title of the European Grand Prix; and the event was graced by the presence of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth – the first and only time a reigning monarch has attended a motor race in Britain.

The year was the institution of the World Championship for Driver, and Silverstone witnessed the first time that Alfa Romeo 158 ‘Alfettas’ had been seen in England, and they took the first three places in the hands of Giuseppe Farina, Luigi Fagioli and Reg Parnell, with the race average having increased to 90.96 mph, however the race distance had been reduced to 205 miles. 

The Alfa Romeo team dominated the British Grand Prix, locking out the four-car front row of the grid.

Giuseppe Farina

Emilio Giuseppe "Nino" Farina (30 October 1906, Turin, Piedmont – 30 June 1966, Aiguebelle, Savoy)  When the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile announced the inaugural World Championship for 1950, Farina secured a drive alongside Juan Manuel Fangio and countryman Luigi Fagioli at the dominant Alfa Romeo team, driving the invincible 158 Alfetta cars. Farina took 3 wins from the 7 races of the 1950 season, securing himself, at the age of 44, the first ever World Championship. It was the pinnacle of his career. (source Wikipedia)
