Talk:1952 Formula One season

replies: text: After the retirement of Alfa Romeo from Formula One it had been hoped by the Championship organisers that the then-new BRM team would be competing that year with the Type 15 V16-powered car, however Raymond Mays withdrew the two cars just before a race at Turin as he was trying to get Fangio as a driver alongside Stirling Moss. This he eventually achieved, but unfortunately this meant withdrawing the cars, and this left the GP organisers with no-one but Ferrari as potential winners for that season. With no credible opposition to Ferrari, (the BRM Type 15 had serious reliability problems initially, and its entry into Formula One racing had been delayed so that it was beginning to look to the Championship organisers that it might not be a raceable car) the decision was taken to run all the remaining races for that season as Formula Two ones.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.62.235 (talk) 13:46, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

message: What does it mean "WD". It appears to Lance Macklin and Stirling Moss at the Swiss Grand Prix. Thanks!! --Godfroid 10:33, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It means "withdrew" or "withdrawn", i.e. when a driver retired from a race voluntarily, rather than due to a mechanical failure or an accident. In this particular case, Collins and Abecassis (both driving HWMs) had suffered similar mechanical failures, so the HWM team manager called in Macklin and Moss as a precautionary measure.

message: Can anyone provide a citation for the statement: "following the FIA's decision to run all the Grand Prix events counting towards the World Championship of Drivers to Formula Two regulations rather than Formula One"? My understanding is that the FIA did not dictate which vehicle regulations each race could be run too, that was up to race organisers (hence the inclusion of the Indy 500 for many years). The world championship races were selected as the most prestigious races run each year, and due to a lack of F1 cars in early 1952, the European organisers chose to run their races for F2.
