Father: Antonio AscariAbout this person
Antonio Ascari died at the wheel in 1925, leaving a son who would race motorcycles first, then cars. Alberto Ascari joined Formula One in 1950 and by 1952 had claimed the first of two consecutive world championships with Scuderia Ferrari, becoming the marque's inaugural title-winner and the first driver to win multiple crowns. He and Michael Schumacher remain Ferrari's only back-to-back champions; Ascari remains its only Italian one. Between the titles he ran the 1952 Indianapolis 500; after them, he won the 1954 Mille Miglia for Lancia. In May 1955, during a test session at Monza, he was killed.
