Italy 1950

Winner: Nino Farina (Italy)
2nd: Dorino Serafini (Italy)/Alberto Ascari (Italy) - Shared Drive
3rd: Luigi Fagioli (Italy)

Pole: Alberto Ascari (Italy)

The final round of the 1950 Championship took place at Monza in Italy on 3 September.

Nino Farina finally picked up his first win of the season but it was not enough to stop Luigi Fagioli taking the title.

Alberto Ascari picked up the first pole position of his career ahead of Farina by 1.4 secs. Consalvo Sanesi, Luigi Fagioli, Dorino Serafini and Piero Taruffi made it an Italian lock out of the first six positions.

Ascari's outside title hopes took a blow with a broken porous block on lap 20, allowing Farina to take over the lead. Ascari did return in the car of Serafini and guided it home to second place.

Fagioli's third place finish was enough to secure him his first title by three points ahead of Farina. Ascari finished third. In the Nations Cup the Italians domination was underlined with them winning the title by a massive twenty six points from the French.

This race saw Alberto Ascari secure his first pole position. Luigi Fagioli secured his third podium finish of the season a new record, whilst Farina extended his own record of fastest laps to three. Raymond Sommer (France) and Franco Rol (Italy) finished the season with the unwanted record of most DNF's with three a piece.
