Race Report
The Ferraris returned to their standard configuration for the Dutch Grand Prix, which was held in very difficult conditions – the track was made slippery by loose grit. The Ferraris had better road holding and once again Alberto Ascari led from start to finish from Nino Farina. José Froilán González took over Felice Bonetto's car and ran out the winner of an exciting duel with Mike Hawthorn. Juan Manuel Fangio retired with a broken back axle, whilst Peter Collins was eighth in the highest-placed British car.

“Sure, you can love your child when he or she has just brought home a report card with straight “A’s.” It’s a lot harder, though, to show the same love when teachers call you from school to tell you that your child hasn’t handed in any homework since the beginning of the term.”
