Despite the promise shown by that early second place finish, it would take over a year for Ferrari to be the ones to break the post-World War II stranglehold that Alfa's 158 and the development 159 model held on Grands Prix. Jose Froilan Gonzalez took that first win in the Ferrari 375, at the former RAAF bomber base of Silverstone, that only a decade before had launched bombers towards Italy. At the next race, Villoresi and Alberto Ascari would score the first Ferrari 1-2 finish, at Ferrari's own stadium, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza.
