High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1953 Belgian Grand Prix was a Formula Two race held on June 21, 1953 at Circuit de Spa- Francorchamps. It was part of the 1953 World Drivers' Championship, which was run to Formula Two rules in 1952 and 1953, rather than the Formula One regulations normally used. A record crowd of over 100,000 spectators crammed into the forest track to watch this dramatic race. The Maseratis were definitely capable of matching the Ferraris for sheer speed - Juan Manuel Fangio put in a record- shattering practice lap of 117 mph. At the flag, he waved Jose Froilan Gonzalez past and stunned everyone with another blitzkrieg lap of 110 mph from a standing start. After 11 laps, Gonzalez had pulled out a full minute's lead, but it had taken its toll on his engine which expired, leaving Fangio half a minute clear. On lap 13, it was the other Argentine's turn to fall prey to engine troubles and Ferrari inherited another 1-2 victory from the third Argentine driver Onofre Marimon who gained his first podium position.
