Sunday 18th May 1952

Piero Taruffi won the Swiss GP, the only race of his career after his main rival and pole-sitter Giuseppe Farina broke down early on. Farina took over the car of teammate Andre Simon but that too broke down, allowing Rudi Fischer to finish second and Jean Behra to finish third on his debut. Excluding the Indy 500, this would be the only race of the second not won by Alberto Ascari.
