[[File:Juan Manuel Fangio (circa 1952).jpg|thumb|right|[[Juan Manuel Fangio]] (pictured in {{F1|1952}}) won his second [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|Drivers' Championship]].]]
The '''1954 Formula One season''' was the eighth season of [[FIA]] [[Formula One]] motor racing. It featured the fifth [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|World Championship of Drivers]], which was contested over nine races between 17 January and 24 October 1954. The season also included several non-championship races for Formula One cars.

[[Juan Manuel Fangio]] won his second Drivers' Championship, after previously winning it in {{F1|1951}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/1954/drivers.html|title=1954 Driver Standings|work=Formula1.com|access-date=7 June 2024}}</ref> After the first couple of races, he switched teams, going from [[Maserati in motorsport|Maserati]] to [[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes-Benz]], making him the only F1 driver in history to win a championship driving for more than one team in the same season.

After the championship had been run under [[Formula Two]] regulations for two seasons, the maximum [[engine displacement]] was increased to 2.5 [[litre]]s for 1954. This increased average power outputs by 150%<ref name=F1Technical/> and attracted several new constructors. At the same time, some F2 constructors withdrew, while others intended to compete but could not get an F1 chassis ready in time.

[[Argentina|Argentinian]] [[Onofre Marimón]] suffered a fatal accident during [[Formula One racing#Free practice|practice]] for the [[1954 German Grand Prix|German Grand Prix]]. Coming over one of the steep hills, he went straight through the corner at the bottom. His Maserati hit a ditch, [[somersault]]ed and landed on top of him. It was the first fatality during an F1 championship weekend.

In 1955, the movie [[The Racers]] came out, the story of which was based on the life of [[Rudolf Caracciola]]. Real-life racing footage from the 1954 F1 season was used, including in-race shots from a camera car that started behind the drivers in the [[1954 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian Grand Prix]]. This approach would be recreated in the 1966 film [[Grand Prix (1966 film)|Grand Prix]].

==Teams and drivers==
The following [[List of Formula One constructors|teams]] and [[List of Formula One drivers|drivers]] competed in the 1954 [[FIA]] [[List of Formula One World Champions|World Championship of Drivers]]. The list does not include those who only contested the [[1954 Indianapolis 500|Indianapolis 500]].

===Team and driver changes===
[[File:D50 003.jpg|thumb|right|[[Lancia#Formula One|Lancia]] designed the [[Lancia D50|D50]], but it was only ready for the last race of the season.]]
* [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper]] and [[Connaught Engineering|Connaught]] did not enter with their [[works team]], because they could not get a car prepared in time that adhered to the new regulations.
* [[Hersham and Walton Motors|HWM]] did build an F1 chassis, but it lacked pace. Driver [[Lance Macklin]] only entered one championship round and retired with [[car engine|engine]] failure.
* [[Veritas (automobile)|Veritas]], [[O.S.C.A.|OSCA]] and [[Alex von Falkenhausen Motorenbau|AFM]] withdrew from the championship because of the changed regulations.
* Over the winter, [[Maserati in motorsport#Formula One|Maserati]] had lost their driver [[Felice Bonetto]] when he suffered a fatal accident in the [[1953 Carrera Panamericana]]. First [[Prince Bira]] and then [[Sergio Mantovani]] took over the drive.
* After winning two consecutive championships with the team, [[Alberto Ascari]] left [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] over a [[salary]] dispute to join newcomers [[Lancia#Formula One|Lancia]]. Teammate and personal [[mentor]] [[Luigi Villoresi]] made the same change.<ref name=CheckeredFlag/> The team hired [[Maurice Trintignant]] from [[Gordini]].
* [[Gordini]] hired [[Élie Bayol]], who had driven for OSCA in {{F1|1953}} alongside [[Louis Chiron]], so [[Harry Schell]] competed in a private Maserati.

====Mid-season changes====
[[File:GPItaliaFangioAscari1954.jpg|thumb|right|[[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes]] competed with the [[Mercedes W196|W196]], which sported closed-wheel streamlined bodywork, and was the fastest car on debut.]]
* Unable to get their cars ready any sooner, [[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes]] joined the championship from the [[1954 French Grand Prix|French Grand Prix]] on.<ref name=CheckeredFlag/> [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] left [[Maserati in motorsport#Formula One|Maserati]] to join the [[Germany|German]] squad, alongside [[Karl Kling]] and [[Hans Herrmann]].
* At the same race, [[British Racing Motors]], under the name of ''Owen Racing Organisation'', returned to the sport, having done a one-off race in {{F1|1951}}. It would be the start of their 24-years involvement in the championship.
* [[Vanwall]] made their debut in the [[1954 British Grand Prix|British Grand Prix]] with ex-[[Hersham and Walton Motors|HWM]] driver [[Peter Collins (racing driver)|Peter Collins]]. Their chassis was prepared by [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper]].
* [[Lancia#Formula One|Lancia]] joined the championship as well, but could only manage to prepare their car for the last race of the season.<ref name=CheckeredFlag/> Drivers [[Alberto Ascari]] and [[Luigi Villoresi]] were loaned to Maserati and [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] in the meantime.
* [[Élie Bayol]] was fired from [[Gordini]] after he refused to let team leader [[Jean Behra]] take his car during the non-championship [[1954 Bordeaux Grand Prix|Bordeaux Grand Prix]].
* {{F1|1950}} champion [[Nino Farina]] became Ferrari's team leader when Ascari left. However, on 27 June, he suffered a crash in the 1954 Supercortemaggiore Grand Prix, a [[sports car racing|sports car]] race at [[Autodromo Nazionale di Monza|Monza]], due to which he had to spend 20 days in hospital and did not return to F1 for the rest of the year.
* After [[Onofre Marimón]] suffered his fatal accident, countryman [[Roberto Mieres]] and [[Great Britain|Brit]] [[Stirling Moss]], who had both been racing Maseratis under their own name, were promoted to the Maserati [[works team]].

==Championship report==
===Rounds 1 to 3===
[[File:NinoFarina.jpg|thumb|right|{{F1|1950}} champion [[Nino Farina]] scored his only podium of the year in the [[1954 Argentine Grand Prix|Argentine Grand Prix]].]]
The championship started off with the [[1954 Argentine Grand Prix|Argentine Grand Prix]]. Multiple constructors intended to compete, but none of their cars were ready yet. The grid consisted of [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]s, [[Maserati in motorsport#Formula One|Maserati]]s and [[Gordini]]s, all of them adapting their {{F1|1953}} chassis for the new regulations. {{F1|1950}}'s champion [[Nino Farina]] [[Formula One racing#Qualifying|qualified]] on [[pole position]] - he is the oldest F1 driver in history to start on pole - ahead of teammate [[José Froilán González]] and local hero [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] in the Maserati. At the start, González fell back to fourth, but after a remarkable recovery drive, he took the lead on lap 15. A third of the way in, a rainstorm arrived and the leader spun off. Farina pitted for a new [[helmet]] [[visor]] and third Ferrari driver [[Mike Hawthorn]] spun off as well. This left Fangio in a comfortable lead, until the track dried and he fell back to third behind González and Farina. A second period of rain caused the order to switch back around, putting Fangio ahead of the two Ferraris, but when the Maserati driver pitted for new tyres, he was back in third. Ferrari's team manager [[Nello Ugolini]] protested his rivals' [[pit stop]], claiming they had too many [[car mechanic|mechanic]]s working on the car. Confident that the protest would be granted, he signalled the leading pair to bring the cars home and not fight the charging Fangio. So they did, and they finished second and third behind the home hero. But then the [[FIA]] rejected Ferrari's protest and upheld the results, granting Fangio his first home win.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grandprix.com/races/argentine-gp-1954.html|title=Argentine GP, 1954|work=GrandPrix|date=17 January 1954|access-date=7 June 2024}}</ref>

The [[1954 Indianapolis 500|Indianapolis 500]] was included in the Formula One championship, but no F1 drivers attended. [[Bill Vukovich]] won the race for the second year in a row.

In qualifying for the [[1954 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian Grand Prix]], Fangio broke his {{F1|1951}} lap record and started on pole position, ahead of González and Farina. The [[Argentina|Argentine]] was contracted by [[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes]], but since their car was not ready yet, he was loaned to his former team. González was allowed into the lead when Fangio messed up the start, but when his [[car engine|engine]] cut out on the opening lap, Farina was in front. [[Roberto Mieres]]'s car burst into flames, as his [[fuel tank|fuel filler cap]] had been left open and [[gasoline|fuel]] had leaked onto the [[exhaust system|exhaust]]. The Maserati driver jumped out, escaping with burns on his back, and the drivers avoided his car. Fangio got up to second place by lap 2 and took the lead on lap 3. When his helmet visor broke on lap 10, he pitted to put on his [[goggles]], but then recovered to pass Farina for the second time, just before the Ferrari engine cut out, sending the [[Italy|Italian]] out of the race. Hawthorn's exhaust pipe split, sending fumes into the [[cockpit]] and making him feel dizzy. He pitted and collapsed over the [[steering wheel|wheel]], so the team dragged him out and González took over his car. The team only found out why the Brit was unwell when González pointed it out a lap later. Fangio took a comfortable win, ahead of [[Maurice Trintignant]] (Ferrari) and [[Stirling Moss]] (Maserati).<ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221202123605/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1954/25/grand-prix-de-belgique-4/|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1954/25/grand-prix-de-belgique-4/|title=Fangio in Fine Form for Maserati|work=Motorsport Magazine|author=Motor Sport|date=20 June 1954|archive-date=2 December 2022|access-date=7 June 2024}}</ref>

In the Drivers' Championship, [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] ([[Maserati in motorsport#Formula One|Maserati]]/[[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes]]) was in the lead with 17 points, ahead of [[Maurice Trintignant]] ([[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]) and [[Bill Vukovich]] ([[Kurtis Kraft]]) with 8. Vukovich would not compete in any other rounds.

===Rounds 4 to 7===
[[File:1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 (33400321454).jpg|thumb|right|[[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes]] debuted in the [[1954 French Grand Prix|French Grand Prix]] with the revolutionary designed [[Mercedes W196|W196]].]]
The long-awaited [[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes]] team arrived for the [[1954 French Grand Prix|French Grand Prix]] and their drivers were quickest of all from the get-go. Championship leader [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] could finally say goodbye to [[Maserati in motorsport#Formula One|Maserati]] and was joined by [[Germany|German]]s [[Karl Kling]] and [[Hans Herrmann]]. Fangio's seat was taken up by {{F1|1952}} and {{F1|1953}} champion [[Alberto Ascari]], whose new employer [[Lancia#Formula One|Lancia]] did not have their cars ready yet. Teammate and [[mentor]] [[Luigi Villoresi]] was loaned to Maserati likewise. Fangio and Kling set the fastest times in [[Formula One racing#Qualifying|qualifying]], putting their silver-coloured streamlined [[Mercedes W196|W196]]s at the front of the grid. In the opening laps, [[José Froilán González|González]] was the only one to stay with the leading pair, but his [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]s overheated, so his focus shifted to keeping the third Mercedes of Herrmann behind. On lap 13, the Ferrari [[car engine|engine]] gave up. Teammate [[Mike Hawthorn]] retired with similar issues, before Herrmann broke the lap record but then stopped in a cloud of smoke. Fangio and Kling did their laps at a comfortable pace, most straights running side-by-side, only upping their pace for the final sprint. Coming out of the last corner, Fangio managed to take the win by just a couple of yards. [[Robert Manzon]] in a private Ferrari finished third out of just six finishers.<ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221203182259/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/august-1954/14/the-week-end-at-reims|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/august-1954/14/the-week-end-at-reims/|title=1954 French Grand Prix Race Report: Fangio and Kling score close 1-2 on Mercedes debut|work=Motorsport Magazine|author=Motor Sport|date=4 July 1954|archive-date=3 December 2022|access-date=8 June 2024}}</ref>

Fangio was again at [[pole position]] for the [[1954 British Grand Prix|British Grand Prix]], but the Mercedes' streamlined bodywork gave them less of an advantage at the [[Silverstone Circuit]], compared to [[Reims-Gueux|Reims]] two weeks ago. The Ferraris of González and Hawthorn, and the private Maserati of [[Stirling Moss]] completed the four-wide front row. González took the lead at the start and created a gap of some five seconds, while Moss and Hawthorn were in a fierce fight. Rain fell and there were several accidents. Fangio went off and damaged the nose of his car, but kept putting pressure on his countryman in front, until his pace was hindered by technical trouble and he fell back to fourth. González scored a win to be proud of, ahead of Ferrari teammate Hawthorn and [[Onofre Marimón]] for Maserati, as with 10 laps to go, Moss's back axle had failed. Fangio finished fourth on a lap down. Seven drivers set the fastest lap, as it was not measured any more precise than in whole seconds, so they all received an extra <math>\tfrac{1}{7}</math> championship point.<ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230531032855/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/august-1954/9/ferrari-vanquishes-mercedes-benz-in-british-grand-prix/|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/august-1954/9/ferrari-vanquishes-mercedes-benz-in-british-grand-prix/|title=1954 British Grand Prix race report - Ferrari Vanquishes Mercedes-Benz|work=Motorsport Magazine|author=Motor Sport|date=17 July 1954|archive-date=31 May 2023|access-date=8 June 2024}}</ref>

[[File:Großer Preis von Europa -1954 Nürburgring, Juan Manuel Fangio, Mercedes (3)x.JPG|thumb|right|[[Juan Manuel Fangio]] won the [[1954 German Grand Prix|German Grand Prix]] for [[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes]].]]
The [[1954 German Grand Prix|German Grand Prix]] was given the honorary title of ''Grand Prix of Europe''. Four Mercedes cars arrived, with three of them carrying open-wheeled bodywork, the team seemingly having learned from their defeat in Britain. [[Formula One racing#Free practice|Practice]] was overshadowed by the fatal accident of Marimón, one of the more popular and younger drivers on the grid, and the Maserati works team withdrew from the race. Fangio scored his third pole position in a row, ahead of Hawthorn and Moss, but it was González who took the lead at the start. Hawthorn fell back behind the fast-starting Mercedes of [[Hermann Lang|Lang]] and Herrmann. Fangio passed his countryman going into lap 2 and Moss retired with dramatic technical failing. Hawthorn retired as well, giving way to the fourth Mercedes of Kling, who had started last. Herrmann retired with a fuel leak, but when González dropped off the pace, the other Mercedes were sitting in a dominant 1–2–3. Lang, however, spun off and Kling was putting unnecessary pressure on Fangio. Hawthorn took over González's car, before Kling pitted a broken rear [[car suspension|suspension]]. Fangio upheld Mercedes's honour with a win, ahead of the two Ferraris of Hawthorn/González and [[Maurice Trintignant]], with Kling in fourth.<ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230818204155/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/september-1954/24/xvii-grosser-preis-von-deutschland/|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/september-1954/24/xvii-grosser-preis-von-deutschland|title=XVII Grosser Preis Von Deutschland|work=Motorsport Magazine|author=Motor Sport|date=1 August 1954|archive-date=18 August 2023|access-date=8 June 2024}}</ref>

Fangio had the opportunity to clinch the championship in the [[1954 Swiss Grand Prix|Swiss Grand Prix]]. All he had to do was prevent González from winning and his lead in points would be large enough. González started on pole but immediately lost the lead to Fangio. Moss, who had been promoted to the Maserati [[works team]], started third and was eager to put the Ferrari another place down. Hawthorn had started down in sixth but was lapping two seconds faster than the leader, and managed to overtake both González and Moss. In quick succession, Moss, Hawthorn, Trintignant and Kling retired, removing all excitement from the race. Fangio led González home by almost a minute, while Herrmann finished a lap down.<ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190606041127/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/september-1954/32/grosser-preis-der-schweiz|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/september-1954/32/grosser-preis-der-schweiz-2/|title=Grosser Preis Der Schweiz|work=Motorsport Magazine|author=Motor Sport|date=22 August 1954|archive-date=6 June 2019|access-date=8 June 2024}}</ref>

In the Drivers' Championship, [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] ([[Maserati in motorsport#Formula One|Maserati]]/[[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes]]) stood on 42 points and he had done enough to secure his second title. [[José Froilán González]] ([[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]) was currently in second with 23<math>\tfrac{9}{14}</math> points and [[Maurice Trintignant]] (Ferrari) third with 15.

===Rounds 8 and 9===
[[File:GPItaliaFangioAscari1954.jpg|thumb|right|[[Juan Manuel Fangio]] leading [[Alberto Ascari]] in the [[1954 Italian Grand Prix|Italian Grand Prix]]]]
Even with the championship in the bag, [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] showed no signs of slowing down going into the [[1954 Italian Grand Prix|Italian Grand Prix]]. He scored another [[pole position]] for [[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes]], ahead of [[Alberto Ascari]], now with [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]], since [[Lancia#Formula One|Lancia]] were still not ready, and [[Stirling Moss]] for [[Maserati in motorsport#Formula One|Maserati]]. At the start, Fangio lost the lead to fourth-starting teammate [[Karl Kling]] and the ''Silver Arrows'' with their streamlined bodywork looked set to repeat their feat in [[Reims-Gueux|Reims]]. However, Kling made a slight mistake on lap 5, bringing him down to fifth, and [[José Froilán González]], second in the championship, managed to get alongside Fangio, before Ascari went passed all of them. González retired, so the old rivals Fangio and Ascari were free to fight. And so they did for more than twenty laps, until Maserati drivers Moss and [[Luigi Villoresi]] joined the scrap. The latter had overworked his [[clutch]] and soon dropped back, but Moss took the lead. Ascari suddenly retired with engine failure, which gave Moss the opportunity to stretch his lead, until on lap 68, his oil pressure dropped and he needed to pit. The oil was topped off, but on the next lap, it was streaming from the bottom of the car and he needed to retire. His teammate [[Sergio Mantovani]] had been fighting for second place with [[Mike Hawthorn]], but that Maserati ran into trouble as well. Fangio won the race, just like last year, ahead of Hawthorn and [[Umberto Maglioli]], who had taken over the car from González.<ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230903085643/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1954/41/25th-gran-premio-ditalia/|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1954/41/25th-gran-premio-ditalia/|title=25th Gran Premio d'Italia|work=Motorsport Magazine|author=Motor Sport|date=5 September 1954|archive-date=3 September 2023|access-date=8 June 2024}}</ref>

The season closed with the [[1954 Spanish Grand Prix|Spanish Grand Prix]] and Lancia joined the grid with their [[Lancia D50|D50]]s. This meant that Ascari could finally try the car and he did so with success, scoring his first pole position of the year. The front row was completed by Fangio (Mercedes), Hawthorn (Ferrari) and [[Harry Schell]] (private Maserati). The latter took the lead at the start, ahead of Hawthorn and Ascari, while Fangio fell back to sixth. Ascari was in front on lap 3 and was drawing away, until on lap 9, his clutch gave out. Teammate Villoresi had already stopped on the first lap, so both Lancias had been quick but brittle. [[Maurice Trintignant]] joined the pack and took the lead. Moss joined as well, but before long retired with a failing oil pump. Schell spun off while leading on lap 29, and then retired with a broken [[gearbox]], before Trintignant retired from the lead with similar issues. Hawthorn could relax and he brought his Ferrari home to win, ahead of Maserati's [[Luigi Musso]], who had overtaken Fangio's Mercedes six laps from the end, to make it three different constructors on the podium.<ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220525225816/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/november-1954/32/viii-gran-premio-de-espana-and-xii-gran-premio-pena-rhin|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/november-1954/32/viii-gran-premio-de-espana-and-xii-gran-premio-pena-rhin|title=1954 Spanish Grand Prix race report: Hawthorn class of the field|work=Motorsport Magazine|author=Denis Jenkinson|date=24 October 1954|archive-date=25 May 2022|access-date=8 June 2024}}</ref>

===Scoring system===
{{further|List of Formula One World Championship points scoring systems}}
Points were awarded to the top five classified finishers, with an additional point awarded for setting the fastest lap, regardless of finishing position or even classification. Only the best five results counted towards the championship. Shared drives result in half points for each driver if they finished in a points-scoring position. If more than one driver set the same fastest lap time, the fastest lap point would be divided equally between the drivers. Numbers without parentheses are championship points; numbers in parentheses are total points scored. Points were awarded in the following system:
