Ferrari 553 “Squalo” Artwork
Tony Smith portrays England’s first World Champion and his 1954 Spanish GP-winning Ferrari 553 Squalo.
This painting depicts Mike Hawthorn, winner of the 1954 Spanish Grand Prix at Pedralbes, Barcelona, in the Ferrari 553 “Squalo” followed by Harry Schell, No. 24 Maserati, an early leader on half-full tanks. Alberto Ascari, No. 34, Lancia D50 was the fastest, but retired with oil in the clutch. The leading pair is chased by Juan Manuel Fangio’s Mercedes No. 2, who was off the pace for once, but he still came 3rd, followed behind by Luigi Musso’s Maserati.
