In contrast to his BRM, Alfa Romeo and Lancia dramas, Juan Fangio’s season with Maserati in Formula 2 was pretty tame - until the end. Although his six-cylinder Maserati as tweaked by Gioachino Colombo had a strong top end, it was out-torqued by the Ferrari four, which had better traction and handling with its de Dion rear end against the Maserati’s live axle. Juan picked up second places behind Ascaris Ferrari at Silverstone and the Nürburgring and behind Mike Hawthorn at Reims in a furious neck-and-neck scrap through the last half of a Grand Prix that the Briton won by one solitary second from a Fangio whose first gear had retired at mid-race.
