Trintignant became part of Ferrari’s works Formula 1 line-up during 1954.

He developed into a regular points scorer and podium contender during a period in which the Scuderia fielded several drivers across each championship season.

The victory became one of the defining achievements of his career and his first World Championship Grand Prix win.
