As he shared his drive at Monza on 3 September 1950 with Alberto Ascari, Serafini was awarded only half of the six available points for second place, yet he remains the only Formula One driver to have scored a podium finish in every World Championship Grand Prix they ever entered, even if only one race is taken into account.
Career
A native of Pesaro, Serafini started racing motorcycles in 1928 on a Benelli 175cc. He won the 1939 500cc European Championship on a Gilera with victories in the German, Swedish and Ulster Grands Prix.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Serafini switched to racing single-seater cars in 1947,<ref name=":0">Template:Cite web</ref> finishing second in the 1950 Mille Miglia and appearing in several non-Championship Formula One races. He retired from racing full-time after sustaining serious injuries during the 1951 Mille Miglia, which required multiple operations over several years, but came back for the 1954 Brescia-Rome-Brescia race, finishing 7th overall and first in the GT class.<ref name=":0" />
