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.

“I will put in my poems, that with you is heroism, upon land and sea—And
I will report all heroism from an American point of view.”
