Description
Alberto Ascari forged a partnership with Enzo Ferrari, which they exploited in exhilarating style as he won two world titles. Ascari was the darling of Italy, the son of Antonio Ascari (one of Italy's great pre-war drivers) and rated by some as even better than the great Juan Manuel Fangio. Ascari was regarded as a precise and accurate driver, one of the safest in a dangerous era. His unexplained fatal accident, at exactly the same age as his father’s, on the same day of the same month and in similar circumstances, remains one of Formula One racing’s great unsolved mysteries.
