Luigi Cristiano Fagioli (Italian pronunciation: [luˈiːdʒi faˈdʒɔːli]; 9 June 1898 – 20 June 1952) was an Italian racing driver, who competed in Formula One from 1950 to 1951. Nicknamed "The Abruzzi Robber",[2] Fagioli remains the oldest driver to win a Formula One Grand Prix, winning the 1951 French Grand Prix with Alfa Romeo aged 53.
Fagioli is the only Formula One Grand Prix winner born in the 19th century, and the only Grand Prix racing driver to have won a championship race in both the AIACR European Championship and the World Drivers' Championship.
