Alberto Ascari died exactly 65 years ago at Monza, the 26th of May 1955. I tought it would be a good day to share my remastered version of his last race, only 3 days before his fatal crash.

If you'd like to have an in depth view of who Alberto Ascari was I really recommand you the Italian Wikipedia page about him (if you don't know Italian, Google translate does a pretty good job).

The 1955 Monaco Grand Prix was race 2 of 7 in the 1955 World Championship of Drivers. The 100-lap race was won by Ferrari driver Maurice Trintignant after he started from ninth position. Eugenio Castellotti finished second for the Lancia team and Maserati drivers Jean Behra and Cesare Perdisa came in third.
