1954 Formula One season
Encyclopedia
The 1954 Formula One season included the 5th FIA Formula One
World Championship season, which commenced on January 17, 1954, and ended on October 24 after nine races. The Championship was won by Juan Manuel Fangio
who drove, and won races, for both Maserati
and Mercedes over the course of the season. In this season Argentinean drivers made a 1–2 in the season's final positions.
with a streamlined single seater which Fangio and Karl Kling
took to a dominating 1–2 win. Fangio's French success had come after switching from the Maserati team with whom he had won the first two Grands Prix of the season. Although the streamlined body proved unsuitable for Silverstone, Mercedes produced a more conventional body for the Nürburgring and Fangio won three of the remaining four races.
Reigning champion Alberto Ascari
had a less successful switch of teams, choosing to leave Ferrari for the newly formed Lancia
team. Unfortunately for him, Lancia's car, the D50, was not ready until the final World Championship race, meaning he had to sit out most of his title defence.
Points were given to top 5 finishers (8, 6, 4, 3, 2). 1 point was given for fastest lap. Only the best five of nine scores counted towards the world championship. Points for shared drives were divided equally between the drivers, regardless of who had driven more laps unless one of the drivers was deemed to have completed "insufficient distance". Drivers who shared more than one car during a race received points only for their highest finish.
