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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

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)[reply]
