1951 Season Report

Juan Fangio won the 1951 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship driving for Alfa Romeo, finishing on 31 points, 6 clear of Alberto Ascari. Fangio won 3 races that season.

No Constructors' Championship was awarded in 1951 — the teams' title was not introduced until 1958, so the drivers' standings were the season's only championship.

6 different drivers won a Grand Prix, and 19 drivers scored championship points.

Championships in this era were decided on a "best results" basis — drivers counted only their highest-scoring finishes towards the title, so season totals can differ from the sum of every race result. Dropped scores were abolished from 1991.
