Sadly this turned out to be rather a processional event, with Ascari leading Farina all the way in the first 16 laps. Two laps from home,he had to dive into the pits for oil,emerging 10 seconds behind Farina-which he rattled off on the next lap,catching Farina just a mile from home to win by several seconds after an otherwise dull race. Fischer and Taruffi completed a Ferrari 1-2-3-4 from Behra's Gordini and Laurent's Ferrari.
