At Silverstone, the Alfa Romeo Racing team presented four 158 single-seaters, driven by Giuseppe “Nino” Farina, Juan Manuel Fangio, Luigi Fagioli, and Reg Parnell. These performance cars delivered 350hp and touched a top speed of 290km/h whisking drivers speedily across the track to pass the checkered flag.
Following the domination in the Silverstone GP, Alfa Romeo remained undefeated – with the 158 had won six of the seven races valid for the ranking – and Nino Farina was the first champion of the newly formed Formula 1. The next year, the 159 single-seater won the world title again with Juan Manuel Fangio behind the wheel.
