The 1951 Formula One season was the fifth season of FIA Formula One motor racing. It featured the second World Championship of Drivers, which was contested over eight races between 27 May and 28 October 1951. The season also included several non-championship races for Formula One cars.
Juan Manuel Fangio won his first Drivers' Championship,[1] beating reigning champion and Alfa Romeo teammate Nino Farina, as well as several drivers from their main rival, Ferrari. Alfa Romeo has not won any Formula One championship since.
Multiple teams, including Alfa Romeo, were running chassis from before World War II. Regulation changes for 1952, however, would make them obsolete.
