🇮🇹 Umberto Maglioli

Umberto Maglioli was an established professional racing driver in Formula 1 during the 1950s. He competed across five seasons from 1953 to 1957, taking ten starts in a single-seater championship that mixed amateur, semi-professional and professional drivers on the same grids. He drove primarily for Ferrari, which fielded him in six of those races.[1]

Maglioli took two podium finishes across his Formula 1 career. He was a regular opponent to Juan Manuel Fangio, the five-time champion, though he typically finished behind him. Against Stirling Moss, an established professional and prolific driver, Maglioli was closely matched; he beat Moss three times across their meetings and also finished ahead of Mike Hawthorn, who would become Formula 1 champion in 1958. His final indexed season came in 1957, when he started one round and finished 15th in the championship standings.[2]
