At the 1950 Italian Grand Prix, Yves finished fourth, scoring his only three points. After a difficult start to the 1951 season, things were looking up at the 1951 British Grand Prix, which Yves led for 14 laps. However, on lap 74, teammate Robert Manzon's engine failed, spraying oil on the circuit at Maggotts. Yves lost control on the oil, was sent barrell-rolling and was ejected from the car.
