The Formula 1 1956 was all about the Scuderia Ferrari. The star driver of the Scuderia, veteran Juan Manuel Fangio, won the driver world champion title on a Ferrari D50 after a hard and hard-fought Grand Prix season. Decisive for this success were his consistently good race results, which helped him heap up a points account big enough that a second place finish in the last race would do to keep the lead on his competitors. So his Monza score brought Fangio his fourth driver´s champion world title.

  • With the start number 1 on a white base circle Fangio competed on July 14th, 1956 for the sixth race of the Automobile World Cup at the Silverstone circuit in Great Britain. He won the race on a Ferrari D50 with short nose and celebrated his first time victory at Silverstone.
  • One month later, on August 5th, 1956 the German Grand Prix was held at the Nürburgring. Juan Manuel Fangio won the race confidently with start number 1. In his yellow-blue striped D50 he passed the finish line with a 45-second lead on Jean Behra´s Maserati.
  • The title win had to be decided at the eighth and final venue of the season on the September 1st, 1956 at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. The title candidates were Fangio and Collins on Ferrari and Behra on Maserati. Fangio’s car with start number 22 had to make a repair box stop – but he could take the car from Collins with start number 26. A second place was enough for Juan Manuel Fangio to win the drivers’ championship in 1956.
