ʻO Alberto Ascari (1918 - 1955) - ka hopena haunaele o ka poʻokela F1 manawa ʻelua.

Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui Pelekane ʻo Ascari i ka makahiki kanahā o ka make ʻana o ka mea hoʻokele hoʻokūkū akamai ʻo Alberto Ascari, ka mea i hoʻokuʻi i kāna hoa Ferrari ma 1955. ʻO wai kēia Italia wiwo ʻole i hoʻokō nui ʻoiai ʻo kāna ʻoihana pōkole?

I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, pono e hoʻolauna i kona makuakāne, ʻo Antonio Ascari, he mea hoʻokūkū akamai ʻo Enzo Ferrari kāna hoaaloha. ʻO Ascari lāua ʻo Ferrari i hui pū i ka heihei Targa Florio (Palermo) mua ma hope o ke Kaua Honua Mua ma 1919. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Alberto Ascari i hoʻokahi makahiki ma mua, akā ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka manawa e pōmaikaʻi ai i ka ʻike heihei o kona makuakāne, ʻoiai ua make ʻo ia i ka 1925 French Grand Prix ma ke kaapuni o Montlhéry. I kēlā manawa, ua nalowale ʻo Alberto ʻehiku makahiki i kona makuakāne (ʻo ia ka mea i manaʻo ʻia), akā ʻaʻole i hoʻonāwaliwali kēia haʻuki weliweli iā ia. ʻOiai i kona wā ʻōpiopio, ua kūʻai ʻo ia i kaʻa kaʻa a hoʻomaka e neʻe, a i ka makahiki 1940 ua hoʻokō ʻo ia e komo i ka heihei kaʻa mua.

Ua lanakila ʻo Askari ʻike ʻole i Ferrari a hoʻomaka i ka Mille Miglia kaulana, akā ma hope o ke komo ʻana o Italia i ke Kaua Honua ʻElua, ua hoʻomaha ka hui ʻana o ka heihei. ʻAʻole i hoʻi hou ʻo Askari i ka hoʻokūkū a hiki i 1947, loaʻa koke ka kūleʻa, i ʻike ʻia e Enzo Ferrari ponoʻī, nāna i kono iā ia i Formula 1 ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokele hale hana.

ʻO ka heihei Formula One mua loa a Alberto Ascari ma Monte Carlo i ka makahiki 1 Grand Prix i kona pau ʻana i ka lua a nalowale i ka ʻūhā iā Juan Manuel Fangio. ʻO Lois Chiron, ka mea i hoʻopau i ke kolu ma ka podium, ʻelua mau ʻāpana ma hope o ka mea lanakila. No Giuseppe Farina ka manawa mua a ua pau ʻo Ascari i ka lima. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka poʻe ʻekolu i hoʻokele i kahi Alf Romeo maikaʻi loa, a ʻaʻole wikiwiki nā hiʻohiʻona Ferrari i kēlā manawa.

I ka makahiki aʻe i lawe mai i ka hoʻokūkū iā Juan Manuel Fangio, akā i ka makahiki 1952 ʻaʻole lanakila ʻo Albero Ascari. Ke holo nei ʻo Ferrari i nā manawa a pau, ua lanakila ʻo ia i ʻeono mau heihei mai ka ʻewalu, loaʻa iā 36 mau helu (9 ʻoi aku ma mua o ka lua ʻo Giuseppe Farina). Ua kāpae ʻo Alfa Romeo i ka heihei a ua nui nā mea hoʻokele i hoʻololi i nā kaʻa mai Maranello. I ka makahiki aʻe, ʻaʻole hōʻeha hou ʻo Alberto Ascari: ua lanakila ʻo ia i ʻelima mau heihei a lanakila i ka duel, incl. me Fangio i lanakila hoʻokahi wale nō ma 1953.

Me he mea lā aia nā mea a pau ma ke ala kūpono, akā ua hoʻoholo ʻo Askari e haʻalele iā Ferrari a hele i ka hale paʻa Lancia hou i hana ʻia, ʻaʻole i loaʻa kahi kaʻa no ka manawa 1954. ʻAʻole i kānalua ka mea hoʻokūkū honua, ua kau inoa i ka ʻaelike a ua hoka loa. ʻAʻole mākaukau ʻo Lancia no ka heihei mua ma Ianuali ma Buenos Aires. Ua hoʻi hou ke kūlana ma kēia Grand Prix: Indianapolis a me Spa-Francorchamps. ʻO ia wale nō i ka heihei o Iulai ma Reims i ʻike ʻia ʻo Alberto Ascari ma ke ala. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole ma Lancia, akā ma Maserati, a ua haki koke ke kaʻa. I ka heihei aʻe, ma ka British Silverstone, ua hoʻokele ʻo Askari i kahi Maserati, akā ʻaʻole i lanakila. I nā heihei e hiki mai ana ma Nürburgring a me Bremgarten ma Switzerland, ʻaʻole i hoʻomaka ʻo Askari a hoʻi wale i ka hopena o ke kau. Ma Monza, ua pōʻino ʻo ia - ua haki kāna kaʻa.

Ua loaʻa iā Alberto Ascari ka kaʻa Lancia lōʻihi i kali ʻia i ka heihei hope loa o ke kau, i mālama ʻia ma ke kaʻapuni Spanish Pedralbes, a lanakila koke i ke kūlana pole, e hoʻopaʻa ana i ka manawa maikaʻi loa, akā ua hāʻule hou ka ʻenehana a ua hele ka championship i ka pilote o Mercedes. ʻO Fangio. . ʻO ka makahiki 1954 paha ka manawa pōʻino loa o kāna ʻoihana: ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke pale i ka hoʻokūkū no ka mea ma mua ʻaʻohe ona kaʻa, a laila loaʻa iā ia nā kaʻa pani, akā hāʻule lākou.

Ua hoʻohiki ʻo Lancia e kipi kā lākou kaʻa, a ʻoiaʻiʻo nō - he 50-lita V2,5 engine ka Lancia DS8, ʻoiai ka hapa nui o nā mea hoʻokūkū i hoʻohana i nā ʻenekini ʻehā a ʻeono paha. ʻO Mercedes wale nō ka mea i koho i kahi hui ʻewalu pahu i loko o ka W196 hou. ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi nui loa o ka D50, ʻo ia kāna hana hoʻokele maikaʻi loa, ʻo ia ka mea i ʻaiʻē, ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ʻelua pahu wahie oblong ma kahi o hoʻokahi mea nui ma hope o ke kaʻa, e like me nā mea hoʻokūkū. ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha, i ka wā i haʻalele ai ʻo Lancia mai F1 ma hope o ka make ʻana o Ascari, ua lawe ʻo Ferrari i ke kaʻa (ma hope i kapa ʻia ʻo Lancia-Ferrari D50 a i ʻole Ferrari D50) kahi i lanakila ai ʻo Juan Manuel Fangio i ka 1956 World Championship.

Ua hoʻomaka maikaʻi ʻia ke kau aʻe, me ʻelua hāʻule i nā hoʻokūkū mua ʻelua, akā maikaʻi ʻo Askari koe wale nō ka ihu haki. I ka makahiki 1955 Monte Carlo Grand Prix, ua hoʻokele ʻo Askari, akā naʻe, nalowale ka mana o ka chicane, uhaʻi i ka pā a hāʻule i ke kai kūʻono, kahi i lawe koke ʻia ai ʻo ia a lawe ʻia i ka haukapila.

Akā ua kali ka make iā ia - ʻehā mau lā ma hope o ka ulia pōpilikia ma Monaco, ma ʻApelila 26, 1955, haʻalele ʻo Ascari i Monza, kahi i hālāwai ai ʻo ia me kāna hoaaloha ʻo Eugenio Castellotti, e hoʻāʻo ana i ka Ferrari 750 Monza. Ua makemake ʻo Askari e hoʻāʻo e kaʻa iā ia iho, ʻoiai ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā ia nā lako kūpono: ua kau ʻo ia i nā castellotti castes a hele i ka holo. Ma ke kolu o ka uha ma kekahi o na kihi, ua nalowale ka Ferrari, ua pii ke alo o ke kaa, alaila, ua olokaa ke kaa i elua manawa, a o ka hopena o ka make ana o ke kalaiwa he mau minuke ma hope mai, ua loaa ia ia na eha nui. ʻO ka chicane kahi i make ai ʻo Askari i kēia lā i kapa ʻia ma hope ona.

ʻO ka mōʻaukala o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kēia Italia i ʻike ʻia e piha i ka pilikia: ʻo ka mea mua, ʻo ka make ʻana o kona makuakāne, ʻaʻole ia i hoʻolei iā ia mai ka motorsport pōʻino, a laila ke Kaua Honua ʻelua, kahi i hiki ʻole ai ke hoʻomohala i kāna ʻoihana. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā kau mua o ka Formula 1 i ka hana akamai a Askari, akā ʻo ka hoʻoholo ʻana e neʻe i Lancia ua hoʻomaha hou i kāna ʻoihana, a ua hoʻopau kekahi ulia pōpilikia ma Monza i nā mea āpau. Inā ʻaʻole no kēia, ua hiki i kā mākou meʻe ke lanakila ma mua o hoʻokahi F1 championship. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Enzo Ferrari i ka wā i alakaʻi ai ʻo Askari, ʻaʻohe mea hiki ke loaʻa iā ia, ʻo ia ka mea i hōʻoia ʻia e nā helu helu: ʻo kāna moʻolelo he 304 mau alakaʻi alakaʻi (i nā heihei ʻelua ma 1952 i hui pū ʻia). Aia ʻo Ascari i mua i ka wā e wāwahi ai ʻo ia i nā kūlana, ua ʻoi aku ka hopohopo a me ke kaʻa ʻoi aku ka ikaika, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma nā kihi, ʻaʻole ia i hele mālie.
