Ferrari 500 F2 1953
1950 marked the inception of the Formula One World Championship. From Day One, Ferrari was involved in this highest class of auto racing, flashing a distinctive symbol of the small black prancing horse called Cavallino Rampante in Italian. In fact, Ferrari is the only F1 participant that has remained active ever since. Its record of successes is just as impressive. In 1951 Alfa Romeo - the toughest opponent of Ferrari - decided to quit the Formula 1 series. The rules for competition were subsequently changed so that Formula 2 racing cars were allowed to participate in the championship. Luckily Ferrari had already developed one - the 500 F2. The new car was light weighted and compact in size. Other new features included a very low barycentre, wellbalanced distribution of the aggregates, good brakes and high torque. Developed by Aurelio Lampredi, the 4 cylinder engine was capable of rendering 185 hp. All these gave the 500 F2 a superior manoeuvre and response to handling. But there was more. The driver of the 500 F2 was none other than the exceptionally gifted Alberto Ascari. It was not without reason that he was known as The flying Milan.
