Sunday 17th January 1954

The Maserati 250F recorded its first racing victory as Juan Manuel Fangio won the Argentine Grand Prix in Buenos Aires – Giuseppe Farina, who finished second in a Ferrari 625, qualified for the pole position, at age 47 years, 80 days the oldest driver to accomplish this feat in a Formula 1 championship race. It was the Italian sports car manufacturer’s second victory in Formula 1, duly commemorating their 100th participation at a Grand Prix.
