[edit] SA Alfa Romeo or Alfa Romeo SpA
I've seen in the 1950 and 1951 season entry list that the Alfa Romeo entrant is listed as 'SA Alfa Romeo'. However, forix.autosport.com lists the entrant as 'Alfa Romeo SpA'. I reckon the latter is correct, since 'SpA' is Italian, while 'SA' is, among others, French. The article 'S.A. (corporation)' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.A._%28corporation%29) mentions the same.
- There seems to be some disagreement: gpracing.net192 and Sheldon and Rabagliati's "Black Books" say "SA Alfa(-)Romeo", whereas, as you point out, Forix says "Alfa Romeo SpA". -- DH85868993 11:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- I see. I checked some Italian Wikipedia pages, too: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Farina mentions 'Alfa Romeo SpA', too, though the 1950 Formula 1 Season page talks about 'Scuderia Alfa Romeo'. But that could just be plain Italian for 'the Alfa Romeo stable' and not the team's name.
