It had started in 1938 at the wheel of a 2.3-liter supercharged Bugatti in which his brother Louis had been killed five years earlier while practicing on the Peronne circuit in Picardy.

He suffered severe injuries in the voiturette race prior to the 1948 Swiss Grand Prix at Berne, but recovered to forge a reputation as a steady, versatile and unspectacular driver over the next decade.

Trintignant’s Le Mans-winning co-driver Froilan Gonzalez, the Pampas Bull, is five years “Le Petoulet’s” junior.
That was indeed a race of attrition, but it’s worth noting that Trintignant was the best-placed Ferrari on the 20-car grid and he held off a late-race attack by Gino Castellotti’s very modern Lancia D50, Jano’s final masterpiece, that had qualified two rows and 2.4 seconds faster than Fernand Trintignant’s youngest boy.
Trintignant and Gonzalez shared another Ferrari that season, but it’s all but forgotten that “El Cabezon” out-qualified Fangio and his Mercedes W196 for their home GP in Buenos Aires, in the middle of January 50 years ago.
