Pole: Alberto Ascari (Italy)
The 1953 Belgian Grand Prix was held at Spa-Francorchamps on 21 June.
Despite the surprising pace of Johnny Claes in his Maserati, Ascari continued where he had left off and dominated another race weekend. Claes would ultimately fall prey to an accident meaning Villoresi followed the champion home with a rare podium finish for Trintignant.
This race signalled the tenth career win for the unstoppable Ascari and took him through the 100 career points barrier.
Claes accident levelled him with Trintignant's record of seven retirements.
