About this listen
The year is 1951 and the points have come down to the final race in Barcelona. The greatest racer of all time lines up next to his rival in a newer more powerful Ferrari. This was the culmination of the just the second official Formula One championship season. The pre war Alfa Romeo's that dominated Grand Prix racing went head to head with Enzo Ferarri and his newly built monsters.
Rivalries are essential to racing, knowing the stories the heart breaks and the passion of these legends helps ground yourself in how the world of racing works. Ascari and Fangio are the perfect example of two men who raced with different styles in a time period of change. They also laid the base that modern Formula One is based.
