Formula One European Championship

Formula One European Championship

Okay, so this one is going to be a little bit like my No Europeans Championship, but in reverse. The rules are simple:
  • Only European races count towards the Championship.
  • Only European drivers can enter those races.
  • They can only drive for European teams.
  • Fastest lap points will not be awarded owing to thoroughly incomplete data.
  • In the case of two drivers scoring equally after dropped points, the driver who dropped the most points (and therefore scored most overall) shall be ranked higher.
I also already have far too many alternate Championships to fit them all into my signature; I guess it's just one of those things.

And so, the first-ever season of the Formula One European Championship went down to the closest possible of margins, decided not by the points that the drivers scored but by the points they didn't score. After the Belgian Grand Prix, it was Farina - owner of two wins and a third-place - who was in complete control, but a reversal of fortunes at the French Grand Prix threw the title into Fagioli's lap: Fagioli won the race and Farina could only manage a pointless sixth place. This meant that Farina (20 points) would need to win the Italian Grand Prix and hope that Fagioli (28 points) finished sixth or lower in the race. In that situation, the drivers would have been split only by the number of race wins each had achieved. As it happened, Farina kept his end of the bargain by winning his third Grand Prix, but Fagioli came in third place. Although these points would not count - this was only his fifth-best result of the season - they would decide the Championship battle in his favour.

The second ever season of the European Championship was again dominated by Italian drivers, this year to an even greater extent than the one that went before it. This season, the top seven drivers in the Championship all shared a nationality, and the first five Grands Prix were won by different Italian drivers. It was the fifth of these men who would go on to win the season: Ferrari's excellent Alberto Ascari won two races and came second in three more to leave his standing as the 1951's leading driver in no doubt. A moment also for the reigning Champion, Luigi Fagioli, who came back at the French Grand Prix for one final race, which he won 22 days after his 53rd birthday. The leading non-Italian this year was Reg Parnell, who particularly impressed with a podium at the Nurburgring driving the very loud BRM P15.

Ah, poor Farina. Always the bridesmaid; never the bride :cry:
