Winner: Alberto Ascari (Italy)
2nd: Felice Bonetto (Italy)/ Nino Farina (Italy)
3rd: Luigi Villoresi (Italy)
Pole: Nino Farina (Italy)
Alberto Ascari romped home to his first title in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, with Nino Farina suffering engine problems and being forced to take over the drive of Felice Bonetto to keep his faint championship hopes alive.
The Italian dominance of the season resulted in them walking away with the Nations cup picking up the maximum 60 points from the four race season.
This race victory saw Ascari draw level with Luigi Fagioli's record of three wins, whilst the retirements of Louis Chiron and Maurice Trintignant put them on five retirements and earning them the unwanted record that was held by Phillipe Etancelin.
