Alfa Romeo brought a newly developed car the Alfa Romeo 159 to the Grand Prix and it would win on its debut but the Italian marque did not enjoy the dominace that they had during the 1950 Swiss Grand Prix as Ferrari challenged. In the end the race was would once again be a inter team battle between last years champion Nino Farina and runner-up Juan Manuel Fangio who won the race with his speed and different strategy, taking an early championship lead. The 1950 GP saw a nasty accident for French Talbot-Lago driver Eugène Martin which saw an end to his GP career, this time was his compatriot Henri Louveau who would suffer a similar fete.
