Juan Manuel Fangio Deramo ( Spanish pronunciation : [ ˈfanχjo ] , Italian pronunciation : [ ˈfandʒo ] ; 24 June 1911 - 17 July 1995 ) , nicknamed El Chueco ( the bowlegged or bandy legged one ) or El Maestro ( The Master ) , was an Argentine racing car driver . He dominated the first decade of Formula One racing , winning the World Drivers ' Championship five times . From childhood , he abandoned his studies to pursue auto mechanics . In 1938 , he debuted in Turismo Carretera , competing in a Ford V8 . In 1940 , he competed with Chevrolet , winning the Grand Prix International Championship and devoted his time to the Argentine Turismo Carretera becoming its champion , a title he successfully defended a year later . Fangio then competed in Europe between 1947 and 1949 , where he achieved further success . He won the World Championship of Drivers five times - a record which stood for 47 years until beaten by Michael Schumacher - with four different teams ( Alfa Romeo , Ferrari , Mercedes-Benz and Maserati ) , a feat that has not been repeated . He is regarded by many as one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time and holds the highest winning percentage in Formula One - 46.15% - winning 24 of 52 Formula One races he entered . Fangio is the only Argentine driver to have won the Argentine Grand Prix , which he won four times in his career , more than any other driver . After retirement , Fangio presided as the honorary president of Mercedes-Benz Argentina from 1987 , a year after the inauguration of his museum , until his death in 1995 . On the centenary of his birth in 2011 , Fangio was remembered around the world and various activities were held in his honor .
Italian motor manufacturer Alfa Romeo has participated many times in Formula One . It currently participates as Alfa Romeo Racing Orlen while being operated by Sauber Motorsport AG . The brand has competed in motor racing as both a constructor and engine supplier sporadically between 1950 and 1987 , and later as a commercial partner since 2015 . The company 's works drivers won the first two World Drivers ' Championships in the pre-war Alfetta : Nino Farina in 1950 ; and Juan Manuel Fangio in 1951 . Following these successes Alfa Romeo withdrew from Formula One . During the 1960s , although the company had no official presence in the top tier of motorsport a number of Formula One teams used independently developed Alfa Romeo engines to power their cars . In the early 1970s , Alfa provided Formula One support for their works driver Andrea de Adamich , supplying adapted versions of their 3-litre V8 engine from the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/3 sports car to power Adamich 's McLaren ( 1970 ) and March ( 1971 ) entries . None of these engine combinations scored championship points . In the mid-1970s , Alfa engineer Carlo Chiti designed a flat-12 engine to replace the T33 V8 , which achieved some success in taking the 1975 World Sportscar Championship . Bernie Ecclestone , then owner of the Brabham Formula One team , persuaded Alfa Romeo to supply this engine free for the 1976 Formula One season . Although the Brabham-Alfa Romeo 's first season was relatively modest , during the 1977 and 1978 World Championships their cars took 14 podium finishes , including two race victories for Niki Lauda . The company 's sporting department , Autodelta , returned as the works team in 1979 .
Emilio Giuseppe Farina also known as Giuseppe Antonio Nino Farina ( Italian pronunciation : [ dʒuˈzɛppe ˈniːno faˈriːna ] ; 30 October 1906 - 30 June 1966 ) was an Italian racing driver and first official Formula One World Champion . He gained the title in 1950 . He was the Italian Champion in 1937 , 1938 and 1939 .
Luigi Villoresi ( 16 May 1909 - 24 August 1997 ) was an Italian Grand Prix motor racing driver who continued racing on the Formula One circuit at the time of its inception .
Scuderia Ferrari S.p.A. ( Italian : [ skudeˈriːa ferˈraːri ] ) is the racing division of luxury Italian auto manufacturer Ferrari and the racing team that competes in Formula One racing . The team is also nicknamed The Prancing Horse , with reference to their logo . It is the oldest surviving and most successful Formula One team , having competed in every world championship since the 1950 Formula One season . The team was founded by Enzo Ferrari , initially to race cars produced by Alfa Romeo , though by 1947 Ferrari had begun building its own cars . Among its important achievements outside Formula One are winning the World Sportscar Championship , 24 Hours of Le Mans , 24 Hours of Spa , 24 Hours of Daytona , 12 Hours of Sebring , Bathurst 12 Hour , races for Grand tourer cars and racing on road courses of the Targa Florio , the Mille Miglia and the Carrera Panamericana . As a constructor , Ferrari has a record 16 Constructors ' Championships , the last of which was won in 2008 . Alberto Ascari , Juan Manuel Fangio , Mike Hawthorn , Phil Hill , John Surtees , Niki Lauda , Jody Scheckter , Michael Schumacher and Kimi Räikkönen have won a record 15 Drivers ' Championships for the team . Since Räikkönen 's title in 2007 the team narrowly lost out on the 2008 drivers ' title with Felipe Massa and the 2010 and 2012 drivers ' titles with Fernando Alonso . Michael Schumacher is the team 's most successful driver . Joining the team in 1996 and departing in 2006 he won five drivers ' titles and 72 Grands Prix for the team . His titles came consecutively between 2000 and 2004 , and the team won consecutive constructors ' title from 1999 until the end of 2004 ; this was the team 's most successful period . Currently , Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc are the two main race drivers .
Consalvo Sanesi ( 28 March 1911 , in Terranuova Bracciolini , Arezzo - 28 July 1998 , in Milan ) was best known as the Alfa Romeo works ' test driver in the period following World War II , but he also competed in races with the Alfa Romeo Tipo 158/159 cars in the period before the Formula One World Championship came into being . He competed in five Formula One World Championship Grands Prix , debuting on 3 September 1950 . Although , on his day , his experience with the cars meant that he was often one of the fastest men on the racetrack , somehow this rarely translated into good results . He scored only 3 championship points . He found some success driving in sports car racing , continuing into the mid-1960s . On the 1953 Mille Miglia he posted the fastest stage average speed , 112.8 mph ( 181.5 km/h ) , beating greats such as Nino Farina and Juan Manuel Fangio , but on this occasion his car let him down and he failed to finish . A year later he won his class in the Carrera Panamericana . Sanesi entered an Alfa Romeo in the November 1954 Pan American race in Mexico . In the European touring car class of the event he led at one juncture with a total time of 8 hours , 29 minutes , and 24 seconds . He was overtaken by fellow Italian and Alfa Romeo drivers , Sergio Mantovani and Mario Della Favera . A couple of days later Sanesi established a 17-minute lead in his car , with the Alfa Romeo marque sweeping the first five positions of the European touring car division . He gave up front line racing following a near-death accident during the 1964 12 Hours of Sebring race , when following a crash his Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ burst into flames .
Baron Emmanuel 'Toulo ' de Graffenried ( 18 May 1914 , Paris , France - 22 January 2007 , Lonay , Switzerland ) was a Swiss motor racing driver . He participated in 23 World Championship Grands Prix , debuting on 13 May 1950 , and scored a total of nine championship points . He also participated in numerous non-Championship Formula One races . De Graffenried began his racing career in 1936 , driving his own Maserati voiturette . Some of his most memorable results came at his home track : the challenging , cobbled , street circuit at Bremgarten near Bern . He won the 1949 British Grand Prix , a year before the FIA World Championship began . In that inaugural year de Graffenried contested four of the season 's seven races , with mixed results . He continued to drive in occasional races over the next six years , with his best finish being fourth place at the 1953 Belgian Grand Prix . Following his retirement from racing , de Graffenried managed his car dealership in Lausanne , featuring Alfa Romeo , Rolls-Royce and Ferrari automobiles . He also acted as stunt double for Kirk Douglas during the filming of The Racers . Later , he became a common figure at Formula One events during the 1970s and 1980s as the corporate ambassador for Phillip Morris ' Marlboro cigarette brand . In recognition of his win at the first British Grand Prix , de Graffenried made his last appearance at the wheel of a racing car during the 1998 celebrations of Silverstone 's 50th anniversary at age 84 .

He was a multitalented racer who competed in motorcycle racing before switching to cars . Ascari won consecutive world titles in 1952 and 1953 for Scuderia Ferrari . He was the team 's first World Champion and the last Italian to date to win the title . This was sandwiched an appearance in the Indianapolis 500 in 1952 . Ascari also won the Mille Miglia in 1954 . Ascari was noted for the careful precision and finely-judged accuracy that made him one of the safest drivers in a most dangerous era . Ascari remains along with Michael Schumacher Ferrari 's only back-to-back World Champions , and he is also Ferrari 's sole Italian champion . As the first driver to win multiple World Championship titles , he held the record for most World Championship titles in 1952-54 , as a result he is one of 3 drivers to have held the record for most World Championship titles . Juan Manuel Fangio held the record in 1951-52 and 1954-2002 ( jointly with Ascari in 1952 and 1954 ) and Michael Schumacher has held the record since 2002 . When Alberto was a young child , his father , Antonio , who was also a famous racing driver , died in an accident at the 1925 French Grand Prix . Alberto once admitted that he warned his children not to become extremely close to him because of the risk involved in his profession .

In the mid-1930s , with the collapse of S T D Motors , Rootes bought the London Talbot factory and Antonio Lago bought the Paris Talbot factory , Lago producing vehicles under the marques Talbot and Talbot-Lago . Rootes renamed Clément-Talbot Limited Sunbeam-Talbot Limited in 1938 , and stopped using the brand name Talbot in the mid-1950s . The Paris factory closed a few years later . Ownership of the marque came by a series of takeovers to Peugeot S.A. , which revived use of the Talbot name from 1978 until 1994 .

Hersham and Walton Motors ( HWM ) is the world 's longest established Aston Martin business ( having acquired the franchise in 1951 ) and is well known as a racing car constructor . As a constructor , it is best known for its involvement in Formula Two from 1950 to 1953 and Formula One in 1954 . When HWM owners George Abecassis and John Heath went racing together from 1946 and in 1948 they built a streamlined sports racing car on the chassis of a Sports Alta , and thus embarked upon the construction of racing cars and racing sports cars at their motor works in Walton-on-Thames , England . The 1948 car gave them encouraging results and so new car , this time called an HW-Alta , was constructed and raced in 1949 ; this car was sufficiently successful to convince the partners to embark upon building a full team of cars for the 1950 Formula Two season of British and continental events : these cars were known as HWMs . From 1950 to 1952 , HWM achieved remarkable success in Formula Two for a team that was run on very little money and yet which faced the might of continental marques in every race . By 1953 they were outclassed , but when the international Formula changed in 1954 , John Heath constructed a works car to compete in Formula One . HWM abandoned the new Formula One after two appearances as their car was seriously outclassed . Meanwhile , the first Jaguar-engined HWM sports racing car had appeared in 1953 , and this had some success with George Abecassis at the wheel . From then on until 1957 , the team was involved in sports car racing both in Britain and on the continent , sometimes beating their Jaguar and Aston Martin Works competitors . After John Heath was killed on the 1956 Mille Miglia in Italy in an HWM Works car , Abecassis did not wish to continue and the works racing programme continued for just a year . HWM is today owned by George Abecassis 's business partner Mike Harting ( ex . Aston Martin ) and his family .
