It was built by [[Gioacchino Colombo]], [[Vittorio Bellentani]] and [[Alberto Massimino]]; the tubular work was by [[Valerio Colotti]], then working for Maserati.

	~~The 250F first raced in the [[1954 Argentine Grand Prix]], and Juan Manuel Fangio won two races before leaving for [[Mercedes-Benz]]; Stirling Moss likewise~~.

	~~Jean Behra ran this it in a five~~-~~member works team (including Luigi Musso) in 1955, followed by Stirling Moss' wins at [[1956 Italian Grand Prix]] and [[1956 Monaco Grand Prix]], in his private car.~~

	~~In total, the 250F entered 46 races~~, ~~in a total of 277 entries~~, ~~leading to eight wins.~~

	The '''250F T2''' ~~were three~~ cars ~~developed~~ by Giulio Alfieri ~~1955-1957,~~ using lighter steel tubes ~~and~~ slimmer body~~. The first car used~~ the new [[V12]] ~~2.5-litre~~ engine ~~(315 bhp)~~, ~~developed since 1955 (and re-used~~ in 1966 ~~in cars by~~ [[Cooper Car Company]]). At [[1957 ~~Italian Grand Prix~~]] ~~however~~, ~~it used the 3.5-litre~~ [[~~inline six~~]] of the [[~~Maserati 350S~~]]. ~~The second was run by Juan Manuel Fangio~~ at the [[1957 French Grand Prix]], and the ~~third was for Jean Behra's team~~.		==Racing history==
			The 250F first raced in the [[1954 Argentine Grand Prix]] where [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] won the first of his two victories before he and [[Stirling Moss]] left for the new [[Mercedes-Benz]] team. Fangio won the 1954 Drivers' World Championship, with points gained with both Maserati and Mercedes-Benz.

			Although Bellentoni and Massimino left for [[Ferrari]], 1955 saw a setup with 5-speed [[gearbox]] as well as SU [[fuel injection]] (240 bhp) and [[Dunlop]] [[disc brake]]s. [[Jean Behra]] ran this in a five-member works team which included [[Luigi Musso]].

			In 1956 [[Stirling Moss]] won at the [[1956 Italian Grand Prix\|Italian Grand Prix]] and the [[1956 Monaco Grand Prix\|Monaco Grand Prix]] in his private car.

			In 1956 three '''250F T2''' cars first appeared for the works drivers. Developed by [[Giulio Alfieri]] using lighter steel tubes they sported a slimmer, stiffer body and sometimes the new 315 bhp [[V12]] engine, although it little or no real advantage over the older straight 6. It was eventually reused in the unsuccessful 1966 F1 [[Cooper Car Company\|Cooper Maserati]].

			In [[1957 Formula One season\|1957]] [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] drove to four more championship victories, including his legendary final win at [[1957 German Grand Prix\|German Grand Prix]] at the [[Nürburgring]] (Aug. 4, 1957), and his final race at the [[1957 French Grand Prix\|French Grand Prix]].

			The [[List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions\|Constructors' World Championship]] was introduced in 1959, by which time the 250F was generally outclassed. However, the car remained a favourite with the privateers, including [[Maria Teresa de Filippis]] and was used until 1960.

			In total, the 250F competed in 46 Formula One championship races with 277 entries, leading to eight wins.
