1954 Argentine Grand Prix
Pre-Race Report
Entrants
The field consists of Ferraris, Maseratis, and Gordinis — all running adapted 1953 chassis under the new 2.5-litre regulations. None of the anticipated new entries are ready: Mercedes have not completed the W196, Lancia’s D50 is unfinished, and Cooper and Connaught are also absent. Juan Manuel Fangio starts his home race in a Maserati. Ferrari fields Nino Farina, José Froilán González, and Mike Hawthorn.
Milestones
Nino Farina qualifies on pole position at 47 years and 79 days old — the oldest driver in Formula One history to start from pole.
Track changes
The Autódromo 17 de Octubre is run in the reverse direction for this edition, unlike all other Argentine Grands Prix.
