It is difficult to imagine that there is much left to be said about the Maserati 250F. In light of the recent work of David McKinney and Barrie Hobkirk, this almost certainly seems to be the case. Mr. McKinney recently remarked that, "It is possible that more words have been written about the Maserati 250F than any other post-war Grand Prix car
."1 Not counting the McKinney book published in 2003, there are about eighty books in which the Maserati 250F is discussed in some fashion and at some length, with about a half-dozen books devoted exclusively to the car. In addition, there are perhaps three hundred and fifty-plus articles which have appeared excluding race reports in which the 250F plays a prominent role or in which important information is contained. Few other specific types of cars can claim to have undergone such scrutiny.
David McKinney was able to draw upon his own extensive knowledge of motor racing and the comprehensive files he had built up over the years when he sat down to write the story of the 250F. His partner in the enterprise, Barrie Hobkirk, was also able to draw upon extensive files and materials for the 250F. In this case, they include literally thousands upon thousands of photographs an estimated twelve thousand which literally includes pictures of each and every 250F which ever saw the light of day. Using the pictures, Hobkirk was able to identify each individual 250F literally by the number and type of rivets, as well as the size, number, and style of the louvers, and the way in which the welds were done along with no end of other features which gave each car enough to distinguish it from the others.
When the scholarship and research of McKinney and Hobkirk is combined, it changes the way in which we may view what we think we know about these cars. The purpose of this article is to use the information about the Maserati 250F as we now understand it and do three things with it. The first is to show how, in general terms, what we thought we knew about the identities of the individual 250F chassis was developed and then how the new information brought to light by McKinney and Hobkirk affected those identities. This will result in a short "history" of each individual chassis. The second is use this information to correct the record in the form of race results and information. The third is to encourage and pave the way for other similar exercises in motor racing historical research.
Before we begin to attempt to show "what we think we know" and how to unravel the mysteries of the identities of each of the individual Maserati 250F chassis in this paper, we need to take a few moments and consider the preoccupation that many motor racing historians have concerning knowing the individual chassis numbers of racing cars in the first place.
As long as there have been racing cars, each has had some form of unique identity. Not until about the 1960s did the publication of the chassis numbers for individual cars competing in races, particularly Grand Prix events, become a common occurrence. Prior to this, outside the members of the team, the customs agents, and a few journalists, the identities of the individual chassis were largely unknown. It was often enough of a challenge in some cases just to get the model or type of a car correct.
The car that may have played a role in changing all this was the car that was simply known as "Fangios Maserati." This was the car that drove at the 1957 Grosser Preis von Deutschland at the Nürburgring. In what he considered his greatest drive, Juan Manuel Fangio drove a Maserati 250F to victory in the race. Having to overcome a botched pitstop which gave the Ferrari team drivers Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins a tremendous lead, Fangio whittled the lead down in relentless fashion lap after lap and then not only caught the duo, but passed them and basically left them. It is little wonder that the car attracted such attention over the years.
At one point, there were three, four, five, or even more Maserati 250Fs claiming to be the car used on that day, "Fangios Maserati." In some cases, the Maserati displayed was indeed a "Fangio Maserati," only not the "one" since there was only one "Fangios Maserati." As amateur racing historians puzzled over the identity of the specific Maserati 250F used by Fangio "that day," their interest in the identities of individual racing cars spread to more contemporary cars. Soon many of the automotive magazines which provided extensive coverage of the Grand Prix scene were quoting chassis numbers of cars competing in the events. This trend became noticeable in about 1964 or so. Since then, the obsession with chassis numbers has become common place among many interested in motor racing history.
For Barrie Hobkirk, the interest in determining the identities of the individual chassis numbers for the Maserati 250F series can be traced to an article2 which appeared in 1966 by Denis Jenkinson on the car. Nearly four decades later, thanks to the tireless efforts of Hobkirk, we may now have a better idea of what those identities really are.
The Chassis Record and Logbook Book
The period covered will be from 1953 to 1960, with the former date chosen so as to include those "interim" chassis which were used during the 1954 and later seasons. The events will generally be those which can be considered "Grand Prix" events, that is those run to the stipulations of the International Racing Formula One, although there will be several events run to "Formula Libre" included in the record book which follows.
The Tipo A6GCM and the "Interim A6GCM/250F" chassis merit a few words. The interim cars were Tipo A6GCM chassis fitted with Tipo 250/F1 engines rather than the usual two-litre engines used for Formula Two racing. It was generally accepted that seven A6GCM chassis were built during late-1951 and early-1952.3 These were the following chassis: 2032, 2033, 2034, 2035, 2036, 2037, 2038, and 2041. It was then thought that the following four chassis were added for the 1953 season: 2044, 2046, 2048, and 2051.
As it turns out, this was not necessarily the case. Here are the remarks that Crump and de la Rive Box have for each of the A6GCM chassis:
- 2032 1951, Escuderia Bandeirantes, Brasil
- 2033 1951, Escuderia Bandeirantes, Brasil
- 2034 1952, Works car, later sold to Escuderia Bandeirantes
- 2035 1952, Works car
- 2036 1952, Works car
- 2037 1952, Works car
- 2038 1952, Works car, sold to Emanuel de Graffenried in 1953
- 2041 1952, Works car, sold to Enrei Shell, Argentina in 1953
- 2044 1953, Works car, rebuilt to 250F in 1954
- 2046 1953, Works car, rebuilt to 250F in 1954
- 2048 1953, Works car, rebuilt to 250F in 1954
- 2051 1953, Works car, rebuilt to 250F in 1954
The reality, of course, seems a bit more complex and different than what was generally assumed to be the case.4 Those chassis of interest both during and after the 1953 season are the chassis known as 2038, 2040, 2041, 2048, and 2051. Or, perhaps, they should be looked upon as 2038, 2040/41, 2041/44, 2046/51, and 2048. A recap of each individual chassis as it campaigned the 1953 season and later is provided.

Chassis 2038
A chassis numbered 2038 first appears during 1953 season at the Gran Premio di Siracusa on 22 March. A chassis using this same number appeared at the Gran Premio dellAutodromo di Monza on 8 June 1952 entered by Officine Alfieri Maserati for Juan Fangio. Therefore, this was probably the chassis that Fangio was driving when he had his crash early in the race at Monza, breaking his neck and putting him out for the balance of the season.
Entered by Maserati-Platé and driven by Emanuel de Graffenried, this first chassis known as 2038 participated in the following events during 1953, which are Formula 2 unless otherwise noted:

Chassis 2040
Chassis 2040 made its 1953 debut at the Gran Premio di Napoli. At Zandvoort, this chassis was redesignated as "2041," perhaps matching the engine number. At the Nόrburgring and Monza, it apparently used engine "2044," assuming the identity of "2044."
