Winner: Luigi Fagioli (Italy)
2nd: Louis Rosier (France)
3rd: Nino Farina (Italy)
Pole: Nino Farina (Italy)
The second round of the 1950 championship took place at Spa Francorchamps in Belgium on 18 June.
Nino Farina again dominated qualifying snatching pole by over four seconds from 2nd placed Fagioli. Luigi Villoresi and Raymond Sommer made up the second row.
In the race the impressive Farina and Fagioli chalked up a big early lead over Raymond Sommer who was battling with the two Italians Villoresi and championship leader Ascari.
When Farina and Fagioli had to stop for fuel Sommer found himself leading but it was not to last as he engine blew on lap 20 following a drop in oil pressure.
This left Farina in the lead but a transmission problem saw him fade in the closing laps to be past by Fagioli and Frenchman Rosier.
With two rounds to go Alberto Ascari had extended his lead in the Championship to three points ahead of compatriate Luigi Fagioli. Italy now lead France by an impressive fifteen points in the Nations Cup
