It is one of the most famous Formula 1 cars, described by Denis Jenkinson as “the immortal single-seater”. It remained a major force in Grand Prix racing for seven years, from 1954 to 1960, with 42 victories at circuits around the world. The most successful season for the Maserati 250F was 1957, with victories in the Argentine, Monaco, French and German Grands Prix, and Juan Manuel Fangio winning the Drivers’ World Championship and the Constructors’ Cup, a source of pride for every car manufacturer.
