	Driving Today
		After being a dominant force in Grand Prix racing before World War II, the engineers at Mercedes-Benz must have found the late Forties to be a humiliating time.
		Their country was a shambles, devastated by the collapse of the Nazi regime with which their cars had been so closely associated, fairly or unfairly, and, as other countries clawed their way out of the abyss, back toward normalcy, they were being left behind.
		But this was in 1952, not 1964, and these were racing cars, so the rear suspension proved to be a handling boon.

		He proved to be most capable on high-speed racetracks, capturing his first win in the 1937 Tripoli Grand Prix at the Mellaha Lake course in Libya which was then the fastest racetrack in the world.
		However, in 1939 he earned their grudging respect when he won five of the eight Grand Prix races he started, including victories at the Belgian Grand Prix, the Grand Prix de Pau in France, the Swiss Grand Prix and his third consecutive Tripoli Grand Prix enroute to earning that year's European Championship.
		He clocked the fastest lap at the French Grand Prix and was leading the field but engine trouble knocked him out of the race.

	Alberto Ascari - Grand Prix Racing - the whole story
		Ascari also finished ninth in the 1940 Tripoli Grand Prix in a Maserati 6CM, but by now Italy was embroiled in World War II and Alberto would not race again until 1947.
		He led his old friend Villoresi to a 1-2 in the Swiss Grand Prix at Berne's fabulous Bremgarten circuit, thereby achieving Ferrari's first ost- war international success at the wheel of the supercharged 1.5-litre Tipo 125.
		Ascari rounded off the 1949 season by leading the Italian Grand Prix from start to finish in the latest two-stage supercharged Tipo 125, but the following year saw Maranello wrestling with the introduction of their naturally aspirated Aurelio Lampredi V12s and success was patchy.

		The track for the fourth Monaco Grand Prix had been resurfaced, gone were the tram lines and the tunnel now had lighting.
		The duel for the lead in the 1933 Monaco Grand Prix had lasted for 97 of 100 laps and thus is unique in Grand Prix history.
		Many of the great names of racing in the 1930’s were now in their fifties and the aristocratic Barons, Earls, and Counts were of the older generation, so the Monaco Grand Prix was in many ways the end of an era, with young guns like Ascari, Villoresi, Taruffi and Trintigant coming through.

		Behra had entered himself in the Grand Prix in his Collotti-built Porsche RSK based single seater 'Behra Special Porsche' as well as running in the support Sports car race in his usual Spyder RSK Porsche, so he could prove a point to Tavoni.

		He quickly followed that with a victory in the Naples Grand Prix and then, in Monaco, he was about to take the lead on the 81st lap when his wheels locked and he was thrown into the harbor.

	Formula One History - The Early Years
		On 10 April 1950, Juan Manuel Fangio, in a Maserati, won the Pau Grand Prix, the first contest to be labeled an "International Formula One" race.
		Farina, who topped Juan Manuel Fangio by three points in the 1950 season, is best remembered for his style of driving; the relaxed, inclined position and outstretched arms that was to influence a whole generation of drivers.
		His career declined, leading to retirement, following accidents during the 1960 Belgium Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, where Moss was thrown from the car, breaking both legs, after a rear axle broke at over 130 mph, and an even worse shunt at Goodwood in 1962.

		Here a promising second place was achieved by Hans Hugo Hartmann, a former Mercedes-Benz reserve Grand Prix driver who had steered one of the all-conquering Silver Arrows to an 8th place in the 1939 Eifelrennen and a final 7th in that year’s Swiss Grand Prix at Berne.
		Later in August 1952 Hartmann gave Borgward its first win with the car at the Grenzlandring and backed this with a further victory at the daunting Avus track in September when his team-mate Adolf Brudes, a former motor-cyclist, backed him up with 3rd position.
		Records were achieved in October at Montlhéry and the 1953 season saw Hartmann and Brudes score a 2nd and 3rd at May’s Eifelrennen on the Nurburgring.

		Ludvigsen quotes Sam Hanks, who placed third in the 1952 Indy 500 and won the 1957 Indy 500, on Ascari’s prospects: “Ascari showed me enough in the 100 miles he lasted at the Indianapolis 500 to let me know he was equally at home on our speedway as on the road circuits of Europe.
		As in 1952, it was a rushed affair, though interestingly pictures show that the team had time for certain things: The car had the “Kurtis” chassis insignia and chrome grille surround on its nose when it was air-freighted into Indianapolis.
