The year in numbers
The season packed 8 races across 8 countries, with 3 different winners over 1952: Alberto Ascari (6), Piero Taruffi (1), Troy Ruttman (1). Alberto Ascari won more than anyone, 6 of the 8 races. The title went to Alberto Ascari (Italy), driving for Ferrari, the first of the driver's career. On the raw sums of the table, Alberto Ascari closed the year on 53.5 points, 26.5 more than Nino Farina. A note for anyone checking official records: until 1990 the rules dropped each driver's worst results, so the raw sums in the table can differ from the official 1952 scores.
