Footnotes
The Lancia D50 made its race debut toward the end of the 1954 Formula One season in the hands of two-time and reigning World Champion, Italian driver Alberto Ascari. Following Ascari's death, and in increasing financial trouble, the Lancia family sold their controlling share in the Lancia company, and the assets of Scuderia Lancia were given to Scuderia Ferrari. Ferrari continued to develop the car, and was rebadged as the "Lancia-Ferrari D50". Juan Manuel Fangio won the 1956 World Drivers Championship with this car. During their competition lifespan D50s were entered into 14 World Championship Formula One Grand Prix races, winning five.
