The 1950 Monaco Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on May 21, 1950 at Monaco. This is the second round of 1950 Formula One season.
Report
After two qualifying sessions, on Thursday and Saturday, which Charles Pozzi, Yves Giraud Cabantous, Pierre Levegh and Clemente Biondetti didn't start, the race was dominated by Juan Manuel Fangio, who scored his first ever victory in a World Championship event, driving an Alfa Romeo. The race was marred by a large pile-up during the first lap, when a wave from the harbour flooded the track at Tabac Corner. Nino Farina in 2nd, spun and crashed while Fangio managed to escape the chaos. Those who were behind them tried to stop or avoid the carnage, but eight more drivers (from a field of 19 drivers) crashed and retired. None of them were injured, but José Froilán González, who damaged his Maserati in the pile-up and was running second after it, crashed during the second lap. His car caught fire but thankfully managed to escape only with some burns. The race went on with many cars going off at Tabac Corner, nearly causing other accidents. Ferrari driver Luigi Villoresi charged his way from the back of the field after being delayed by the pile-up, but didn't finish.
