Notes

• Shared Drives:
  • Car #8: Giorgio Scarlatti (50 laps) and Harry Schell (34 laps). They shared the 2 points for fifth place.
  • Car #28: André Simon (40 laps) and Ottorino Volonterio (32 laps).
• This was the last time that the season finale was held in Italy.
• Behra raced in a Maserati with a V12 engine after Fangio practiced with the V12 car and decided to use his usual straight-6 car after he was quicker in practice with the latter. All other Maseratis that ran in the race had the standard straight-6 engine.
