 the 1950 swiss grand prix was a formula one motor race held on 4 june 1950 at bremgarten. it was the fourth round of the 1950 world drivers' championship. ==report== the fourth round of the championship took place just three weeks after the series began at silverstone (with monaco and indianapolis having taken place on consecutive weekends). once again the event proved to be a battle between the alfa romeo factory 158s of giuseppe farina, juan manuel fangio and luigi fagioli and the scuderia ferraris of alberto ascari, luigi villoresi (who had the latest model with de dion rear suspension, twin overhead camshaft engine and 4-speed gearbox), raymond sommer and peter whitehead. there were a number of uncompetitive talbot-lagos and maseratis as usual. josÃ© froilÃ¡n gonzÃ¡lez was out of action as a result of burns he had received after the first lap accident at monaco grand prix. also out of action as a result of the crash was maserati factory driver franco rol. this was the last race to be entered by pre-war racer eugÃ¨ne martin. it was also the first and only world championship grand prix for nello pagani, better known for his exploits in grand prix motorcycle racing. in qualifying fangio and farina were well clear of fagioli with villoresi and ascari sharing the second row of the 3-2-3 grid. peter whitehead, [[f
