1952 Ferrari 500 F2
The Tipo 500 was the class of the field in 1952. In fact, it was the only new car on the grid that year. Alfa Romeo had pulled out of racing and all the other entrants had wheezy, old, hopelessly slow cars. As a result, the only competitive open-wheel racing that year was being done down in Formula 2, so organizers decided to make Formula 2 the spec for 1952’s Formula 1 season. Maybe that’s a vast oversimplification. Nonetheless, the only cars Ferrari had to compete against had names long since lost to obscurity, like Connaught Lea-Francis, Frazer Nash BMW, Simca-Gordini, and Aston Butterworth.
The result, of course, was that Ferrari won everything, and Ferrari driver Alberto Ascari won the first of his back-to-back championships, all thanks to the Ferrari 500.
