Giuseppe 'Nino' Farina

The sport's first World Champion. Already 43 at the first race; killed in a road accident on the way to the 1966 French GP.

Rosso corsaItaly's international racing colour, under the convention that painted a car for the country that entered it, as it stood when Lancia raced in 1955. Not the team's own livery.

A team-mate is anyone entered for the same constructor in the same Grand Prix, and each pair of figures is Giuseppe 'Nino' Farina’s first. Races counts every Grand Prix both were entered for, started or not. Qualifying counts the races both have a qualifying position in; Race only those both were classified in, so a retirement on either side counts for neither, and reads none where there was no such race; Points are each driver’s own from those Grands Prix, before any dropped scores and without Sprint points. Before the 1980s a constructor’s cars were often entered by private teams as well as its own, so a pairing then can be two drivers who never shared a garage. The figures say who was ahead, not who was better.

Where this comes from

Two career points totals: 127.33 published, 126 scored. Both are right. Up to 1990 only a driver's best few results counted towards the championship, so the published total is net of the points that were dropped.

Entries is counted here from the race records, one for every race a driver was entered for, and wins, podiums and poles are counted the same way and checked against the published totals on every build. Starts is counted from those records too: an entry is a start unless the result the source printed says it never was - did not qualify, pre-qualify, start or practise, or excluded before the start - so a pit-lane start counts and so does a retirement on the first lap. The published entry and start figures are a separate count kept for the few drivers who have one, reached by rules this database does not hold. Where a published figure and the counted one disagree, both are shown and neither is corrected.
