4 (out of 4), driven by Nino Farina, Luigi Faglioli, Juan Manuel Fangio and Reg Parnell. Ferrari were not present at the 1950 British Grand Prix, (they debuted in Race 2 at Monaco) so next time you hear Dominicali say "we've been here since the beginning" then take it with a pinch of salt. - The British GP was held on St. George's Day in 2000. Who was the highest finishing Englishman?
