The 1953 Formula One season was the seventh season of the FIA's Formula One racing. It consisted only of several non-championship motor races. As in 1952, all races counting towards the World Championship of Drivers, apart from the Indianapolis 500, were held for cars complying with Formula Two regulations rather than with Formula One, with the Indianapolis 500 held to AAA regulations.
Italian Alberto Ascari won the 1953 World Championship of Drivers, his second and last championship title and the last by an Italian driver, as of 2023[update].
Ferrari won seven of the nine championship races with its Tipo 500 model
