Alberto Ascari

Ascari一家三代都是车手，我记不大清是从他爷爷那辈开始，还是他爸爸那辈开始
他爸爸是那个时代意大利最好的车手之一，而且跟Enzo爷爷关系很好
也是撞车死掉的，所以一开始Alberto的妈妈无论如何不肯让他做车手
但是当他从学校毕业，立刻开始走他爸爸的老路，卖车，然后做车手……
类似的故事后来似乎发生过无数次，Hill，JV，Senna他们家都一样……冤孽啊……

Enzo爷爷对Alberto的评价远不如对他爸爸那么高
虽然他赢了很多比赛，两个世界冠军，到现在还保持着连胜9场的纪录
（52~53年，不算53年Indy，那不是正式f1比赛）
而且这个纪录现在看来根本就不可能被破，现在连胜3场都很了不起了
但Alberto似乎是个不会超车的车手，不是技术上，而是心理上
一旦处于落后，似乎就缺乏那种不服输的劲头

Alberto在1940年去找Enzo爷爷想要弄辆车参加比赛
那时候Enzo爷爷刚刚被Alfa Romeo解雇，开始搞自己的小工厂
见到故人之子也是感触良多啊
于是弄了辆不知道哪家的车改装了一下给Alberto，卖了2万里拉
其实当时总共改了2辆车，另一辆卖给了一个男爵也不知道伯爵
后来Alberto这样车又转手到很多人手中
最后居然在95年也不知道96年的时候找到了
在96年Imola的时候拿出来展览，据说漂亮得让人惊叹

那时代车手基本都活不长，Ascari属于死得很诡异的一个
之前一个礼拜在monaco连人带车冲到了海里，倒是什么事都没有
后一个礼拜在Monza却莫名其妙的撞死了
那个时候他已经不是我们家的车手了，在Lancia好像
然后我们家正好造了辆新车，因为大家关系都很好，所以请他来看看试车
跑了几圈车子情况不错，人家就问他有没有兴趣开几圈
他就去开了，据认为这是因为他想看看自己的状态有没有受之前事故的影响
没有带自己的头盔，所以结了一个，本来他在这种事情上很迷信的
那次真是天知道的事情了……
而且那是在大中午的时候，赛道上都没什么人的
不知道怎么就突然失控了，直接撞断了脖子，sigh……

Name: Alberto Ascari
Nationality: Italy
Date of birth: July 13, 1918 - Milan, Italy
Date of death: May 26, 1955 - Monza, Italy

Alberto Ascari was the son of a famous father. Antonio Ascari was the star of the Alfa Romeo team in the 1920s but died in a racing accident at Montlhery in 1925. Alberto was seven and did not look like a racing driver. He was chubby with a jovial air but he had a great desire to emulate his father.

He began racing motorcycles and then at 22 switched to cars, competing for the first time on the Mille Miglia in 1940. His career was immediately interrupted by the war and so it was not until he was nearly 30 that his career really took off. Tutored by Gigi Villoresi he began winning in 1948 and joined Alfa Romeo, his father's old team. In 1949 he went to Maserati but soon switched with Villoresi to join Ferrari.

After two years of Alfa Romeo domination, the formula was changed and the Ferrari F500 became the force to be reckoned with. In 1952 and 1953 Ascari was the man, winning every Grand Prix in which is he competed in 1952 and half of those in 1953. His record of nine consecutive wins remains unbeaten.

After winning two consecutive World Championships Ascari found life more difficult. He had switched to the Lancia team and his only victory was the Mille Miglia as the team was not ready with its planned F1 challenger. Ascari had to make do with a number of unsuccessful outings with a Maserati. The Lancia D50 appearedat the end of the year and Ascari immediately put it on pole position in Spain, leading the race until the car retired.

The Lancia would be a challenger in 1955. Ascari's great rival, Juan-Manuel Fangio, won the first three races that year in his Mercedes-Benz and then at Monaco Ascari got it wrong and crashed into the harbour, emerging unhurt from the experience.

A week later while testing a Ferrari sports car at Monza he crashed at the corner which now bears his name and was killed. The accident had no eyewitnesses and has never been fully explained.

顺便说一下Antonio Ascari
Alberto Ascari的爸爸，早期意大利牛车手一个
鉴于年代实在太早，和我们家关系也比较浅，更详细的资料就不贴了
不过他对Enzo爷爷影响还是很大的
Enzo爷爷最初做车手的时候就是跟他一起，学了不少东西
特别是一边做车手，一边利用车手的名声卖车挣钱
Enzo爷爷早年也是这样的，我们家整个公司其实也是这样的……
