In this episode, we dive into the first ever Formula One Championship season in 1950. We talk about the dominant race pace of Alfa Romeo's Alfetta, and discuss the three way title fight between the Alfa Romeo drivers; Farina, Fangio and Fagioli. This episode also features the history of the FIA and their political involvement in these early years, despite them trying to deny their political affiliations.  I loved researching and recording this episode and I am excited to hear your thoughts and opinions.  If you like this episode and want to support my work, please subscribe to the podcast and give it a 5 star rating.

In this very first episode, I decided that before we even talk about the first ever Formula One championship, we needed to discuss all things racing that happened prior. So I summarised quite a bit of information to try and understand the development and the cultural and political context leading up to the inaugural race.  If you wanna share a fun fact about the Formula 1 history I might have missed in this episode or might need to know about for future episodes, feel free to get in touch.  Check out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/f1taleswithmarta/ If you liked this episode make sure to like it and subscribe to the podcast, or even just tell a friend about the show.
