Yesterday: Happy birhday F1
Today is the anniversary of the first official Formula One race, held on the Silverstone circuit May 13, 1950. It was the first official race valid for the world championship Formula One racing drivers and the fifth held after the Grand Prix of Pau, San Remo Grand Prix won by Fangio both the Richmond Trophy won by the driver Reg Parnell and won the grand prize in Paris Georges Grignard.
The teams that participated were the Alfa Romeo with four drivers (Farina, Fangio, Fagioli and Parnell), the team Maserati row six cars for three teams: Scuderia Ambrosiana (David Murray and David Hampshire), the Louis Alfieri Maserati Chiron and Joe Fry and Henry Plata and Prince Bira Toulo de Graffenried (both two drivers titles). The cars are the three English and two WAS HIGH. The five French present instead compete with the Talbot-Lago with two stables and not manufacturing. Ferrari decides not to participate in this race.
The race was a real domain of Alfa Romeo: Giuseppe Farina won the pole position followed by the other three riders in the Italian team. Giuseppe Farina immediately took the first position, managing to keep his head for 63 laps (1-9, 16-37 and 39-70) and marks the first "Hat Trick" (pole, fastest lap and win the race) and 'Alfa Romeo made his first Royal Flush (pole position, fastest lap, race win and always lead with three riders (Farina, Fagioli and Fangio) and take the first three digits).
Fangio retired in that race for lubrication problems around lap 62.
Nino Farina won the first race of the championship will also be the first driver in Formula One world champion in history. The following year, always with the Italian team will Fangio won the first title of his five world titles.
