A country gentleman from the town of Lodi, not far from Milan, Castellotti bought a Ferrari sportscar in 1950 when he was still only 20 years of age and he campaigned it enthusiastically in Italian events in 1951 and 1952.
Castellotti thus became a Ferrari driver but there were too many drivers on the books and so Eugenio concentrated on on sports cars, winning the Mille Miglia and the Sebring 12 Hours.
In F1 the high point of his year was second place to Peter Collins in the French Grand Prix at Reims, while he spun out of the race at Monza with tyre failure after an indisciplined battle with team-mate Luigi Musso.

Castellotti was an archetypical Italian racing driver, fearsome and motivated, erratic and arrogant.
He was one of a generation of Formula 1 competitors who were pressured by, and fell victim to, the personal political strategy adopted by Enzo Ferrari in order to keep all his drivers on their toes.
When the assets of the Lancia team were eventually handed over to Ferrari in mid-1955 Castellotti went with the package, the result being that at times it seemed as though Maranello had more drivers than it needed.

 8W - Who? - Eugenio Castellotti
Eugenio Castellotti had it all: the cash to buy himself a Ferrari 166S sportscar, the looks and the good taste to surround himself with his actress lady Delia Scala, the skill to quickly grow into one of Italy's outstanding drivers, and the flair and the entourage that befitted such stature in his hero-worshipping nation.
With Lancia out of the picture Eugenio moved over to Ferrari, a transfer that was facilitated by the ACI persuading Lancia to hand over his promising D50s to the Ferrari team, that continued to struggle with its two designs, the 625 and the 555 'Super Squalo', the latter being the 553 'Squalo' follow-up.
In the Italian GP Castellotti's reputation as a tyre eater was further enhanced by his battle in the early laps with Luigi Musso, the two despite being team mates apparently fighting over the honour of best Italian driver.

 Eugenio Castellotti - Grand Prix Racing - the whole story
Eugenio Castellotti was an archetypal Italian racing driver.
In the wake of this shattering body blow to Lancia F1 fortunes, Castellotti proved to be a tower of strength and motivation, begging Gianni Lancia to make available a single D50 for the next race on the calendar, the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa.
However, Eugenio did a fine job for the Turin marque, planting the D50 on pole position and hanging on well to third place in the early stages of the race before his engine expired.

Castellotti could not stay with them although he ran third with Farina close behind.
Nino Farina, the 1950 champion, was from the old school of drivers and felt that this young upstart needed to taught a lesson or two in manners.
Angry at this apparent lack of respect Farina waved his fist at his countryman who simply squeezed the former champion so tightly that he was forced to take to the pitlane to avoid an accident.

A driver of great courage, a young man full of life, generous, Eugenio Castellotti lived just 26 years and five months — not much more than James Dean — and was a symbol of a love of motor racing, of challenge and risk.

Ferrari, who admits that "the results of a race are due only 50% to the car," splits prize money 50-50 with his drivers and (unlike most automakers) gives them a guaranteed minimum, win or lose, thus has his pick of the world's best drivers.
He picks his pilots with the care he puts into tuning an engine, teams a cool, canny technician such as World Champion Juan Fangio with a hotspur such as Eugenio Castellotti, who won this year's Mille Miglia.
