| | About vehicle
Engine by colombo
the 250 f was developed from the maserati a6gcm single-seater, but it sported an entirely new power unit, designed by the notable giaocchino colombo, with the assistance of giulio alfieri. But the triumphant return of mercedes-benz to motor racing overshadowed the entry of the new maserati in the lists, despite the efforts of drivers such as frances jean behra. It was in 1956, in the hands of the young stirling moss, that the 250 f really began to demonstrate its capabilities.
fangio takes the wheel
but 1957 was the year that fangio gave the 250f its true moments of glory, notably with his astonishing victory in the german grand prix at nurburgring. At the end of the season, the modenese firm announced that it was quitting
competition for financial reasons, as well as the quite understandable desire to rest on its laurels.
The archetypal formula one car of the fifties, the maserati 250 f won its greatest honors in the hands of juan-manuel fangio. |
