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 5^th, 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 1^st, 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.
