GONZALEZ TRIUMPHS AT SILVER-STONE

When, in 1951, Gonzalez and his Ferrari left the 159 and the entire Alfa team in his wake for the first time in the history of our direct clashes, I cried for joy. But mixed in with those tears of enthusiasm were tears of pain because that day, I thought to myself: I've killed my mother". The words of Enzo Ferrari in his book, Ferrari80.

String of F1 victories. Silverstone was a two-fold challenge between men and machines: a 400-kilometre-plus Argentinian and Italian dual for supremacy. A total of 90 laps which Gonzalez completed in precisely 2 hours, 42 minutes and 18 seconds. A gruelling distance, particularly given how spartan and difficult-to-drive those early cars were.
