In his late twenties at the time of his début, he was considered quite young compared to veterans Juan Manuel Fangio, Alberto Ascari and Giuseppe Farina. His competitive machinery early on in his career led him to become the youngest race winner, polesitter, pointscorer and fastest lap-scorer. he was also briefly the youngest driver to start a race, at 27.
