Winner: Alberto Ascari (Italy)
2nd: Nino Farina (Italy)
3rd: Piero Taruffi (Italy)
Pole: Alberto Ascari (Italy)
The third round of the championship took place at the Nurburgring on August 3.
Ascari continued his so far perfect season taking the race win, pole position and the fastest lap with Farina again proving himself best of the rest.
The race itself was a somewhat processional affair until Ascari needed to pit two laps from the end for oil. This allowed Farina to take a ten second lead that Ascari closed with ease before passing Farina a mile from home for an ultimately comfortable win.
Ascari's fastest lap in the race saw him draw level with Farina on five career fastest laps and Maurice Trintignant's third lap accident saw him slide into the record books with his sixth retirement.
