The 1953 Formula One season included the 4th FIA Formula One World Championship. The Championship series commenced on January 18, and ended on September 13 after ninth races. It was won by Alberto Ascari, driving for Scuderia Ferrari. There were also a large number of other races held to World Championship rules in 1953, which did not count for Championship points.

[edit] Season summary
Ferrari again dominated the championship, taking seven of the eight grand prix, although Fangio's Maserati challenge took him to second place in the championship and a win at Monza. Ascari stretched his unbeaten run to nine grand prix before Hawthorn broke the sequence at Reims.
Points were given to top 5 finishers (8, 6, 4, 3, 2). 1 point was given for fastest lap. Only the best four of nine scores counted towards the world championship. Points for shared drives were divided equally between the drivers, regardless of who had driven more laps. In 1953, all World Championship events (except the Indianapolis 500) were run under Formula 2 regulations.
