Teodoro "Dorino" Serafini (22 July 1909 – 5 July 2000) was an Italian racing driver and motorcycle road racer who most notably finished second in his onlyFormula One World Championship race forFerrari, the1950 Italian Grand Prix.
As he shared his drive at Monza on 3 September 1950 withAlberto Ascari, Serafini was awarded only half of the six available points for second place, yet he remains the only Formula One driver to have scored a podium finish in every World Championship Grand Prix they ever entered, even if only one race is taken into account.
A native ofPesaro, Serafini started racing motorcycles in 1928 on aBenelli 175cc. He won the 1939500cc European Championship on aGilera with victories in theGerman,Swedish andUlster Grands Prix.[1]
Serafini switched to racing single-seater cars in 1947,[2] finishing second in the 1950Mille Miglia and appearing in several non-Championship Formula One races. He retired from racing full-time after sustaining serious injuries during the 1951 Mille Miglia, which required multiple operations over several years, but came back for the 1954 Brescia-Rome-Brescia race, finishing seventh overall and first in the GT class.[2]
