The 1951 French Formula One Grand Prix was held at Reims-Gueux on 1 July 1951. It was won by Argentinian Juan Manuel Fangio and Italian Luigi Fagioli driving an Alfa Romeo.
Picture above: Juan-Manuel Fangio steering his Alfa Romeo 159 to victory in the 1951 French Grand Prix held at the fast circuit (7.816 km) of Reims-Gueux.
It was the first of three occasions where two drivers would be credited win a Grand Prix win after sharing a car. Fagioli’s victory (picture below), his first in a World Championship race, made him the oldest driver at the age of 53 to win a Grand Prix, a record he still holds.
