| | Formula One History - The Early Years |
 | | 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. |
 | | Leaving for Ferrari in 1951, for the next two seasons Farina fought a personal battle with Alberto Ascari, a battle he was bound to lose, for Ascari was by far the better driver; more controlled, faster and more precise. |
 | | 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. |
