# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Turin in 1906, the son of a coachbuilder, Farina started racing at nine and became a protégé of Tazio Nuvolari. Enzo Ferrari signed him in 1936; he won the Naples Grand Prix in 1937 and three straight Italian titles through 1939, but also became entangled in the fatal crashes of Marcel Lehoux and László Hartmann. After the war he rejoined Alfa Romeo and, at the 1950 British Grand Prix, won the first race in the new Formula One World Championship. He added wins in Switzerland and Italy to beat teammate Juan Manuel Fangio for the inaugural title. Ascari and Fangio eclipsed him over the next seasons; his last win came at the 1953 German Grand Prix. Injuries and Ascari's death in 1955 pushed him out. On 30 June 1966, driving to watch the French Grand Prix, he lost control of his Lotus Cortina in the Alps and died.
