'''Alberto Ascari''' (13 July 1918 – 26 May 1955) was an Italian [[racing driver]], who competed in [[Formula One]] from {{F1|1950}} to {{F1|1955}}. Ascari won two [[Formula One World Drivers' Championship titles]], which he won in {{F1|1952}} and {{F1|1953}} with [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]], and won 13 [[Formula One Grands Prix|Grands Prix]] across six seasons. In [[endurance racing (motorsport)|endurance racing]], Ascari won the [[Mille Miglia]] in [[1954 Mille Miglia|1954]] with [[Lancia]].

Noted for careful precision and finely-judged accuracy, Ascari was a multitalented racer who competed in motorcycle racing before switching to cars. He won consecutive [[Formula One]] world titles in {{F1|1952}} and {{F1|1953}} for [[Scuderia Ferrari]], becoming the first Ferrari-powered World Champion and [[#Formula One records|breaking several records]] across both seasons. He remains the last Italian to win the World Drivers' Championship, {{As of|2024|lc=y}}. This was sandwiched by an appearance in the [[1952 Indianapolis 500]], and winning the [[1954 Mille Miglia]].

As of 2024, Ascari and [[Michael Schumacher]] are Ferrari's only back-to-back World Champions, and Ascari remains Ferrari's sole Italian champion. As the first driver to win multiple World Championship titles, he held the record for most World Championship titles from 1952 to 1954, becoming one of four drivers to have held the record for most World Championship titles. [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] held the record from {{F1|1954}} to {{F1|2002}} (jointly with Ascari in 1954) and Schumacher has held the record since {{F1|2002}}, although Schumacher also shares that record with [[Lewis Hamilton]] since {{F1|2020}}.

When Ascari was a young child, his father [[Antonio Ascari]], also a famous racing driver, died in an accident at the [[1925 French Grand Prix]]. Ascari himself was later killed during a test session for Ferrari at the [[Autodromo Nazionale Monza]] in 1955.

== Early life ==
Born in [[Milan]], Alberto Ascari was the son of [[Antonio Ascari]], a talented [[Grand Prix motor racing]] star in the 1920s, racing [[Alfa Romeo in motorsport|Alfa Romeos]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprixhistory.org/antonio_bio.htm|title=Grand Prix History – Antonio Ascari|website=GrandPrixHistory.org|date=10 August 2009|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> A fortnight before Ascari's seventh birthday, his father was killed while leading the [[1925 French Grand Prix]] at the [[Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry]];<ref name="Grand Prix History 2008">{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprixhistory.org/ascari_bio.htm|title=Alberto Ascari – Biography|website=Grand Prix History|date=10 August 2008|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> the younger Ascari had an interest in racing in spite of this, and later came to dominate Grand Prix racing like no other before him.<ref name="BBC 2012"/> Such was his passion to become a racing driver like his father that he ran away from school twice, and sold his school books to finance his racing.<ref name="Pieroni 2021">{{Cite web |last=Pieroni |first=Emanuele |date=2021-05-27 |title=La morte di Ascari e la leggenda della promessa tradita (che non sapevi)<!-- - MOW - Mowmag.com--> |url=https://mowmag.com/culture/la-morte-di-ascari-e-la-leggenda-della-promessa-tradita-che-non-sapevi |access-date=2024-02-19 |website=MOW<!--Men On Wheels--> |language=it}}</ref> Ascari raced motorcycles in his earlier years.

I wouldn't know how to live without it."<ref name="Pieroni 2021"/>

In 1940, Ascari married a local girl. When Italy entered [[World War II]], the family garage, by now run by Ascari, was conscripted to service and maintain vehicles of the Italian military.<ref name="Formula 1 2018"/> During this period, he and his partner fellow racing driver [[Luigi Villoresi]] established a lucrative transport business, supplying fuel to army depots in North Africa.<ref name="Formula 1 2018"/><ref name="8w.forix.com">{{cite web|url=https://8w.forix.com/ascari.html|title=8W – Who? – Alberto Ascari|website=Forix.com|date=2002|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> The pair survived a ship they were aboard carrying lorries capsizing in Tripoli harbour.<ref name="8w.forix.com"/> As their business supported the Italian war effort, it made them exempt from being called up for military service during the war.<ref name="8w.forix.com"/>

== Career ==
[[File:Ascari argentina 1949.jpg|thumb|150px|Ascari at the first [[1949 Buenos Aires Grand Prix (I)|1949 Buenos Aires Grand Prix]]]]
Following the end of World War II, Ascari began racing in Grands Prix with the [[Maserati 4CLT]]. His teammate was Villoresi, who became a [[mentor]] and friend to Ascari.<ref name="Grand Prix History 2008"/> The pair were successful on the circuits in Northern Italy. He was nicknamed ''Ciccio'', meaning "Tubby". [[Formula One]] regulations were introduced by the FIA in 1946, with the aim of eventually replacing the pre-war Grand Prix structure. During the next four transitional years, Ascari was at the top of his game, winning numerous events around Europe. The [[1948 San Remo Grand Prix]] was his first win.<ref name="silhouet.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/archive/f1/nc/1948/1948.html|title=1948 Formula One Races|website=Silhouet.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> He also took second place at the [[1948 British Grand Prix]], which was organised by the [[Royal Automobile Club]] and is generally considered the first [[British Grand Prix]], at the [[Silverstone Circuit]].<ref name="silhouet.com"/> With [[Maserati in Formula One|Maserati]] he won the [[first 1949 Buenos Aires Grand Prix]]. His biggest success came when he and Villoresi signed for [[Scuderia Ferrari]]. The team boss [[Enzo Ferrari]] had been a great friend and teammate to Ascari's father, and had taken a keen interest in his successes. In 1949, he won three more races, all with Ferrari.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/archive/f1/nc/1949/1949.html|title=1949 Grand Prix Results|website=Silhouet.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> Driving a Ferrari, he also won the [[1949 Buenos Aires Grand Prix (III)|third 1949 Buenos Aires Grand Prix]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jmfangio.org/gp1949palermo.htm|url-status=live|title=1949 Argentina – III Gran Premio Juan Domingo Perón y de la Republica Argentina|website=JMFangio.org|language=es|date=2002|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231009074912/https://www.jmfangio.org/gp1949palermo.htm|archive-date=9 October 2023|access-date=2024-02-16}}</ref>

The first Formula One World Championship season took place in {{F1|1950}}. The Ferrari team made its World Championship debut at the [[1950 Monaco Grand Prix]], the second race of the season, with Ascari, Villoresi, and the famous French driver [[Raymond Sommer]] on the team. At Monaco, Ascari became the youngest driver to score points and a podium position in Formula One at 31 years, 312 days, finishing second one lap behind [[Juan Manuel Fangio]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr002.html|title=Monaco GP, 1950 Race Report – GP Encyclopedia – F1 History on Grandprix.com|website=GrandPrix.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> The team had a mixed year as the supercharged [[Ferrari 125 F1]] was too slow to challenge the dominant [[Alfa Romeo in Formula One|Alfa Romeo]] team, so Ferrari began working on an unblown 4.5-litre car. Much of the year was lost as the team's 2-litre Formula Two engine was progressively enlarged. When the full 4.5-litre [[Ferrari 375 F1]] arrived for the [[1950 Italian Grand Prix]], the final round of the championship, Ascari gave Alfa Romeo their sternest challenge of the year before retiring; he then took over teammate [[Dorino Serafini]]'s car to finish second.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr007.html|title=Italian GP, 1950 Race Report – GP Encyclopedia – F1 History on Grandprix.com|website=GrandPrix.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> The new Ferrari then won the non-championship [[1950 Penya Rhin Grand Prix]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://chicanef1.com/race.pl?year=1950&gp=Penya%20Rhin%20GP&r=1&type=res|title=1950 Penya Rhin GP|website=ChicaneF1.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref>

Throughout {{F1|1951}}, Ascari was a threat to the Alfa Romeo team, although initially he was undone by unreliability. After winning the [[1951 German Grand Prix]] at [[Nürburgring]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr013.html|title=German GP, 1951 Race Report – GP Encyclopedia – F1 History on Grandprix.com|website=GrandPrix.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> he also won the [[1951 Italian Grand Prix]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr014.html|title=Italian GP, 1951 Race Report – GP Encyclopedia – F1 History on Grandprix.com|website=GrandPrix.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> and was only two points behind Fangio in the championship standings ahead of the climactic [[1951 Spanish Grand Prix]], where Fangio won the race and his first title as the 33-years-old Ascari became the youngest runner-up. Although Ascari had taken [[pole position]], a disastrous [[Formula One tyres|tyre choice]] for the race saw the Ferraris unable to challenge Fangio; Ascari finished fourth.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr015.html|title=Spanish GP, 1951 Race Report – GP Encyclopedia – F1 History on Grandprix.com|website=GrandPrix.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref>

[[File:Ferrari500F2.jpg|thumb|left|Ascari and [[Luigi Villoresi]] in action at the 1952 Italian Grand Prix]]
For {{F1|1952}}, the World Championship season switched to using the 2-litre [[Formula Two]] regulations, with Ascari driving the [[Ferrari 500]]. He missed the [[1952 Swiss Grand Prix]] as he was qualifying for the [[1952 Indianapolis 500]], at the time a World Championship event. He was the only European driver to race at Indy in its eleven years on the World Championship schedule; his race ended after 40 laps without having made much of an impression, as a result of a wheel collapse.<ref name="Grand Prix History 2008"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://8w.forix.com/ferrari-indianapolis-1952.html|title=8W – What? – Ferrari at Indianapolis|website=Forix.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> Returning to Europe, he then won the remaining six rounds of the series to clinch the world title (also taking five non-championship wins) and recording the [[fastest lap]] in each race. He scored the maximum number of points a driver could earn, since only the best four of eight scores counted towards the World Championship.<ref name="Formula 1 2018"/><ref name="ESPN UK 2016">{{Cite web|url=http://en.espn.co.uk/f1/motorsport/driver/473.htm|url-status=dead|title = Alberto Ascari &#124; &#124; F1 Driver Profile &#124; ESPN.co.uk <!--Formula 1 News, Live Grand Prix Updates, Videos, Drivers and Results – ESPN-->|website=ESPN UK|date=2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160426172135/http://en.espn.co.uk/f1/motorsport/driver/473.htm|archive-date=2016-04-26|access-date=2024-02-17}}</ref> Aged 34, Ascari became Formula One's new youngest champion until the 29-year-old [[Mike Hawthorn]] won it in {{F1|1958}}; Hawthorn had been Ascari's teammate in 1951.<ref name="BBC 2012"/> Meanwhile, Fangio had missed most of the season after a crash in the [[1952 Italian Grand Prix]] in June.<ref name="BBC 2012">{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/18826717<!--https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/18826717-->|title=Formula 1's greatest drivers.

Ascari won three more consecutive races to start the {{F1|1953}} season, giving him nine straight championship wins (not counting Indy) before his streak ended when he finished fourth at the [[1953 French Grand Prix]], which proved to be highly competitive. He won twice more later in the year for a second consecutive World Championship,<ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/> becoming Formula One's first two-time champion.<ref name="Grand Prix History 2008"/><ref name="BBC 2012"/><ref name="Formula 1 2018"/> Aged 35, he was also the youngest two-time champion and the youngest back-to-back champion, both records beaten by the 34-year-old [[Jack  Brabham]] in {{F1|1960}}, as the average age of a Formula One driver significantly decreased. The 1953 season is considered Ascari's career high point as he had faced the returning Fangio for the opening race of the season, the [[1953 Argentine Grand Prix]] in Buenos Aires, attended by Fangio's home crowd. Additionally, it was widely expected that Ferrari was to be challenged by a resurgent Maserati, with Fangio at its helm. Instead, Ascari took pole position and achieved the first win of a season that set him on course for his second and last World Championship.<ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/>

[[File:D50 003.jpg|thumb|Ascari in the [[Lancia D50]] in 1954]]
Following a dispute over his salary, Ascari left Ferrari at the end of the season and switched to [[Lancia in Formula One|Lancia]] for the {{F1|1954}} campaign.<ref name="Grand Prix History 2008"/><ref name="BBC 2012"/> As their car was not eventually ready for the final race of the season, [[Gianni Lancia]] allowed him to drive twice for Maserati, sharing the fastest lap at the [[1954 British Grand Prix]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr037.html|title=British GP, 1954 Race Report – GP Encyclopedia – F1 History on Grandprix.com|website=GrandPrix.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> and once for Ferrari. Ascari also won the [[Mille Miglia]] that year,<ref name="BBC 2012"/> driving a Lancia sportscar, surviving the dreadful weather and the failure of a throttle spring, which was temporarily replaced with a rubber band.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprixhistory.org/mille_miglia_1954.htm|title=Mille Miglia – 1954|website=GrandPrixHistory.org|date=2 September 2010|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> When the [[Lancia D50]] was ready, Ascari took pole position on its debut, the [[1954 Spanish Grand Prix]], and led impressively early on and set fastest lap before retiring with a clutch problem,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr041.html|title=Spanish GP, 1954 Race Report – GP Encyclopedia – F1 History on Grandprix.com|website=GrandPrix.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> meaning a full season of competing against Fangio's previously dominant [[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes]] was much anticipated.<ref name="Grand Prix History 2008"/><ref name="BBC 2012"/> Ascari's decision to move to Lancia is considered his career's low point. Despite promises of a new car and more money, this did not come until the season was nearly over, by which time Fangio was unreachable. While waiting for the Lancia car, Ascari had to take guest drives for Maserati and Ferrari, and he finished the season without completing any of the four Grands Prix he entered.<ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/>

Ascari's {{F1|1955}} season started promisingly, the Lancia taking victories at the non-championship races in Turin ([[Parco del Valentino]]) and at the [[Naples Grand Prix]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/archive/f1/nc/1955/1955.html|title=1955 Non-World Championship Formula One Races|website=Silhouet.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> where the Lancias took on and beat the hitherto all-conquering Mercedes.<ref name="Grand Prix History 2008"/> In a world championship event, the [[1955 Argentine Grand Prix]], he retired.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr042.html|title=Argentine GP, 1955 Race Report – GP Encyclopedia – F1 History on Grandprix.com|website=GrandPrix.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> During the [[1955 Monaco Grand Prix]] on 22 May, Ascari crashed into the harbour through hay bales and sandbags late in the race after missing a [[chicane]] while leading, reportedly distracted by either the crowd's reaction to [[Stirling Moss]]' retirement or the close attentions of the lapped [[Cesare Perdisa]] behind. Whatever distracted him, he approached the chicane too quickly, and chose the only way out and took his D50 through the barriers into the sea, missing a substantial iron bollard by about 30&nbsp;cm.<ref name="Grand Prix History 2008"/><ref name="grandprix.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr043.html|title=Monaco GP, 1955 Race Report – GP Encyclopedia – F1 History on Grandprix.com|website=GrandPrix.com|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> Although his car sank,<ref name="Formula 1 2018"/> Ascari was pulled into a boat and escaped with only a broken nose.<ref name="Grand Prix History 2008"/><ref name="Formula 1 2018"/><ref name="grandprix.com"/>

== Death ==
[[File:Ascari curva monza.jpg|thumb|150px|The site of Ascari's fatal accident]]
On 26 May 1955, Ascari went to the [[Autodromo Nazionale Monza]] to watch his friend [[Eugenio Castellotti]] test a [[Ferrari 750 Monza]] sports car. They were to co-drive the car in the [[1000 km Monza]] race, having been given special dispensation by Lancia. Ascari was not scheduled to drive that day, but decided to try a few laps. He set off in street clothes and wearing Castellotti's white helmet.<ref name="Grand Prix History 2008"/><ref name="BBC 2012"/><ref name="Formula 1 2018"/> As he emerged from a fast curve on the third lap, the car inexplicably skidded, turned on its nose, and somersaulted twice. Thrown out onto the track, Ascari suffered multiple injuries and died a few minutes later.<ref name="Grand Prix History 2008"/><ref name="BBC 2012"/><ref name="Formula 1 2018"/> The crash occurred on the ''Curva del Vialone'', one of the track's challenging high-speed corners. The corner where the accident happened was renamed in his honour, and was subsequently replaced with a chicane called ''Variante Ascari''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thescuderia.net/forums/content.php/117-Alberto-Ascari-Profile|title=TheScuderia.net – Ferrari F1 – Alberto Ascari Profile|work=thescuderia.net|access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> The reasons and circumstances of the accident, including why Ascari, who was well known for his attention to safety, drove another driver's car, and without his own lucky blue helmet (he had left it at home, and apparently reasoned that, after his accident in Monaco four days earlier, getting back to race driving as soon as possible was the best way to recover), never came to light.<ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/>

In 2001, the Swiss newspaper ''Rinascita'' published the story of Angelo Consonni, who was seven years old at the time of Ascari's death and was with his grandfather near the ''Curva del Vialone''. Consonni said he saw two workers intent on crossing the road to reach a shed when he heard a car approaching; if the first worker was quick, the second hesitated and stopped. Soon after, the young Consonni felt a silence and saw the Ferrari spin around and overturn. [[Luigi Villoresi]] maintained that Ascari would have been afraid of being afraid.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Campi |first=Massimo |date=2020-05-25 |title=I misteri di Ascari |url=https://www.motoremotion.it/2020/05/26/i-misteri-di-ascari/ |access-date=2024-02-19 |website=Motor Motion<!--Motoremotion.it--> |language=it}}</ref> In 2014, the racing driver [[Ernesto Brambilla]] declared that he had seen the accident, confirming that the car spun around and overturned, excluding the hypothesis that the accident was caused by a spectator who crossed the track.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Donnini |first=Mario |date=2014-09-02 |title=Il manico di Monza |magazine=Autosprint |page=30 |language=it |issue=35}}</ref>

[[File:Ascari funeral.jpg|thumb|left|Ascari's funeral]]
Motor racing fans from all over mourned, as Ascari was buried next to the grave of his father in the [[Cimitero Monumentale]] in Milan, to be forever remembered as one of the greatest racers of all time. More than a million people took to the streets in Milan for his funeral.<ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/> His distraught wife Mietta Ascari told [[Enzo Ferrari]] that were it not for their children she would have taken her life.<ref name="Formula 1 2018"/> Three days before he died, Ascari had told a friend: "I never want my children to become too fond of me because one day I might not come back and they will suffer less if I don't come back."<ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/> Upon Ascari's death, his friend and rival [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] lamented: "I have lost my greatest opponent. Ascari was a driver of supreme skill and I felt my title last year lost some of its value because he was not there to fight me for it. A great man."<ref name="BBC 2012"/><ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/> Fellow racing driver [[Stirling Moss]] recalled Ascari as "wonderfully good... he was rather better than good, he was very good indeed. He may have been as fast as Fangio... but he had not got the polish that so distinguished Fangio."<ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/> [[Mike Hawthorn]] said that "Ascari was the fastest driver I ever saw.

Ascari's death is often considered to be a contributing factor to the withdrawal of Lancia from motor racing in 1955, just three days after his funeral (although the company was also in considerable financial trouble, needing a government subsidy to survive), handing his team, drivers, cars, and spare parts over to Enzo Ferrari.<ref name="BBC 2012"/><ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/> He died aged 36 years and 10 months, exactly the same age as his father, who was also killed in an accident at Montlhery thirty years earlier.<ref name="Pirelli 2020">{{Cite web |date=2020-07-13 |title=Ascari and a destiny foretold |url=https://www.pirelli.com/global/en-ww/race/racingspot/ascari-and-a-destiny-foretold-52831/ |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=Pirelli}}</ref> Both Ascaris won 13 Grands Prix, drove car number 26, and were killed in similar circumstances.<ref name="BBC 2012"/> His father's death helped fuel Ascari's deeply superstitious nature as he avoided [[black cat]]s, was concerned about unlucky numbers, and did not allow anyone to touch the briefcase that contained his racing apparel, which included what he believed to be his lucky blue helmet and T-shirt, the goggles, and gloves.<ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/> Ascari had also promised himself, after his father's death, that he would never race on the 26th of any month, and that he would become the number one racing driver.<ref name="Pieroni 2021"/> In 2015, Ascari was included in the [[Walk of Fame of Italian sport]].<ref name="Sei Ascari 2022">{{cite web|title=I record tuttora imbattuti di Alberto Ascari|url=http://www.seiascari.it/it/I-record-tuttora-imbattuti-di-Alberto-Ascari|website=Sei Ascari|language=it|access-date=5 June 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220716193718/http://www.seiascari.it/it/I-record-tuttora-imbattuti-di-Alberto-Ascari|archive-date=16 July 2022|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2016, unknown thieves stole the bronze busts, which were placed on the sides of the shrine, of Ascari and his father.

{{quote box|quote="When leading, he could not easily be overtaken – indeed it was virtually impossible to overtake him."|source=—[[Enzo Ferrari]]<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.grandprixhistory.org/ascari_bio.htm|title=Alberto Ascari – Biography|date=10 August 2008|access-date=23 March 2016|website=GrandPrixHistory.org}}</ref>|width=25%|align=right}}
Ascari was popular with fellow drivers and crowds because of his modesty and eagerness to praise the ability of his rivals; he is also considered one of the hardest drivers to pass. One criticism was the perceived lack of complete focus when he was chasing for the lead. For example, [[Enzo Ferrari]] said: "When he had to follow and pass an opponent, he evidently suffered, not from an inferiority complex, but from a nervousness that did not let him express his true class."<ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/> In the words of [[BBC Sport]]'s chief Formula One writer [[Andrew Benson]], Ascari did not look "much like the modern idea of a Formula 1 driver. His double chin and slightly chubby frame brought to mind a Milanese baker more than the lean, pinched athletes of the modern age. Yet this was a man who, for a period, dominated grand prix racing like no other has before or since."<ref name="BBC 2012"/> In his profile about Ascari, Benson further wrote that "Ascari was a ruthless winning machine. He was a phlegmatic character who approached his racing with an analytical style. With his pale blue shirt and matching helmet, Ascari cut a distinctive figure in the scarlet Ferraris of the early 1950s. He sat upright, hunched slightly forward, closer to the large steering wheel than many of his rivals, his elbows forming sharper angles."<ref name="BBC 2012"/> About Ascari's driving style, Enzo Ferrari said: "Ascari had a precise and distinctive driving style, but he was a man who had to lead from the start. In that position he was hard to overtake, almost impossible to beat, in my estimation. Alberto was secure when he was playing the hare. That was when his style was at its most superb. In second place, or further back, he was less sure."<ref name="BBC 2012"/>

A street in Rome, in the [[Esposizione Universale Roma]] area, is named in Ascari's honour. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza, the [[Autodromo Oscar Alfredo Gálvez]], and the [[Circuito del Jarama]] have chicanes or portions of their tracks named after Ascari. In 1972, one of the chicanes at the Monza Circuit was named in his honour ''Variante Ascari''.<ref name=F1db>{{cite web |date=6 April 2005 |title=Autodromo Nazionale di Monza – History |url=http://www.f1db.com/f1/page/Autodromo_Nazionale_di_Monza |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091002042349/http://www.f1db.com/f1/page/Autodromo_Nazionale_di_Monza |archive-date=2 October 2009 |access-date=17 September 2009 |work=The Formula One DataBase |publisher=F1db.com}}</ref>

In total, they led 66.6% of 2,508 laps. [[Stirling Moss]] believed Fangio to be better but that Ascari was very close, while Denis Jenkinson of ''[[Motor Sport]]'' thought Ascari was better.

Despite his short career, having fewer Grand Prix starts than any other World Champion,<ref name="ESPN UK 2016"/> Ascari is generally considered among the greatest Formula One drivers.

Into the 21st century, Ascari continues to hold several Formula One records,<ref name="Sei Ascari 2022"/> some of which have since been equalled by fellow World Champions, such as Clark, [[Nigel Mansell]], [[Sebastian Vettel]], and [[Lewis Hamilton]].
