Scuderia Ferrari is set to race at Piacenza on 11 May, with two different versions of the 125. The 125 S is the first chassis built with a “spyder” body produced at Maranello by the local craftsman Giuseppe Peiretti and there is also a second chassis, closer to a single-seater, with removable mudguards.

This version is known as the 125 C, the C standing for “Competizione” to distinguish it from the 125 S. It was designed by Giuseppe Busso from Turin, but Enzo Ferrari did not like it, calling it the “autobotte” or “truck.”

The S is to be driven by test driver Franco Cortese, the C entrusted to the established champion, Giuseppe Farina. The Sporting Director was Federico Giberti, a long time associate of Enzo Ferrari.

Problems arose after the first practice sessions. Farina was unhappy with the 125 C and wanted Cortese’s car, but the request was denied.

The champion was not completely wrong, because in practice both drivers had tried both cars and Farina had only managed a 1’54”3 lap in the 125 C and a 1’52”1 in the S. Cortese meanwhile had stopped the clocks in 1’53 with the C and 1’51 in the S, faster in both cars, which is why Ferrari would not let them swap.

Farina chose not to take part, so that Cortese, in the 125 S led for much of the race, before being let down by a trivial failure in the fuel pump. Ferrari described the result, as “a promising failure.”
