[edit] Involvement in Fatal Accidents
While reading through the article, I saw that there was no mention of Farina's involvement in two fatal accidents during pre-war racing. Stirling Moss has gone so far as to call Farina a "bastard" and Enzo Ferrari specifically defended him against accusations that he was dangerous in his autobiography. I've tried to be as factual and impartial as possible - most people tend to implicate Farina directly, but we may never know for sure what happened, so I felt that leaving it at "involved" was the best way to handle it. I cited both Leif Snellman's excellent resource and an article on 8W. Seanobr 02:16, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Number of podiums
The number of podiums (20) includes both 2nd and 3rd place at the 1955 Argentine Grand Prix. DH85868993 23:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What is his name?
formula1.com says his name is Giuseppe Antonio Farina, not Emilio Giuseppe Farina... Which is to be believed? -Fred Bradstadt 12:25, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
- I haven't seen anything but 'Emilio Giuseppe Farina'. However, I'd vote for adding 'Dr.' in front of his name at the top of the article.
- "Emilio" was added uncited on this page by a now-blocked editor. I haven't seen anything more than "Guiseppe" in official sources. "Antonio" would make sense given the dimnutive "Nino", though. Any definitive cites? -- Ian Dalziel (talk) 00:30, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Pininfarina
Is there any connection between this person and the one mentioned on the Pininfarina? I suspect that the mention of "Giuseppe Farina" on that page is mistaken and it actually should be Battista Farina--but I know next to nothing about Italian race car drivers. See Talk:Pininfarina for what little I could find out. older≠wiser 14:44, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
