1950 French Grand Prix

Summary The sixth and penultimate race of the first season of the Formula 1 was held in France and consisted of 21 racers. Out of all the cars in the race, the Ferrari and the Villoresi were the worst cars in the race, due to Ferrari's car not being able to be as fast as it wanted to be and the Villoresi feeling too old. But the Villoresi had a jolly up it's sleeve and would make sure that before the race began, the car would be better. In the last race, The Talbot Lago had struggled to compete against the other cars and the Simca-Gordini was not as good as it was in Formula 2. In the race, the Alfa Romeos were the best in the race and had no problems but the rest of the cars had engines flying off causing many to retire and on Lap 18, Farina slowed, dropping back behind Fangio and Fagioli before heading for the pits. The Alfa was suffering from fuel starvation, it took Farina's mechanics seven minutes before he could be sent back onto the track. The mechanical troubles encountered amongst the Talbot-Lago's had meant Farina was still able to get on track in fifth place. Farina tried again but received his fuel problems again leading him to an impossible win. In the end, Fangio won the race with a time of 2:57:52.8 and the last person in the board was Yves Giraud-Cabantous.
