 Fangio won each of the three races he finished at Monaco, Spa and Reims-Gueux but Farina's three wins at races Fangio retired from and a fourth place allowed Farina to take the title, even though Fangio was quicker than Farina, who was able to take advantage of Fangio's mechanical woes.Fangio's most notable victory that year was at Monaco, where he dodged a multi-car pile-up and easily won the race.In 1950s non-championship races Fangio took a further four wins at San Remo, Pau and the fearsome Coppa Acerbo at the 16 mile Pescara public road circuit, and two seconds from eight starts.
