Report
The race turned out to be rather a processional event, with Ascari leading Farina all the way in the first 16 laps. Two laps from home, he had to dive into the pits for oil, emerging 10 seconds behind Farina-which he rattled off on the next lap, catching Farina just a mile from home to win by several seconds after an otherwise dull race. Fischer and Taruffi completed a Ferrari 1-2-3-4 from Behra's Gordini and Laurent's Ferrari.
Ascari, having now scored maximum points for the season, clinched the world championship, making him the first driver to win the championship with two races left to go.
