Lancia
The D50 project, cut short by his death at Monza.
The Long Version
The son of Grand Prix driver Antonio Ascari, he joined Ferrari in 1950.
He won every race he entered across 1952 and the start of 1953 — nine straight championship victories.
He plunged into Monaco harbour in 1955 and survived, only to die testing a sports car at Monza four days later.
