About Umberto Maglioli
Hailing from Italia roots, Umberto Maglioli competed in Formula 1. Made ten world championship starts between 1953 and 1957, driving for three of the great names of the era: ferrari, maserati and porsche.
His first three seasons were spent with Ferrari. After a pointless debut year in 1953, he scored in each of the next two: two points in 1954, for eighteenth in the championship, and a further points haul in 1955 that left him twenty-first in the standings. Both of his two career podium finishes came during this productive mid-decade spell.
He moved to Maserati for 1956 and ended his championship career with Porsche in 1957, adding no further points in either season. Maglioli's final record — ten starts, two podiums and three points, all with front-rank Italian and German constructors — reflects a driver who was trusted with good machinery across a five-season span.
