Alberto Ascari led Nino Farina and Luigi Villoresi home in another Ferrari procession, with Hawthorn gaining 4th. Stirling Moss got up as high as 7th in the ERA before having to retire.

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or report:
“By the by, if the English race had done nothing else, yet if they left the world the notion of a gentleman, they would have done a great service to mankind.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“Men are born to write. The gardener saves every slip, and seed, and peach-stone: his vocation is to be a planter of plants. Not less does the writer attend his affair. Whatever he beholds or experiences, comes to him as a model, and sits for its picture. He counts it all nonsense that they say, that some things are undescribable. He believes that all that can be thought can be written, first or last; and he would report the Holy Ghost, or attempt it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
