Pre-Race Report
Previous race
At Bremgarten, Fangio led González home by nearly a minute, lapping the entire field up to second place. Moss and Hawthorn fought fiercely for position behind the leaders until both retired. The result was conclusive: with González unable to win, Fangio clinched his second World Championship.
Championship standings
Fangio is the 1954 World Champion. González holds second in the standings, with Trintignant third. One round remains after Monza — the season finale in Spain — and the runners-up positions are still to be decided.
Entrants
Alberto Ascari lines up alongside Fangio on the front row, driving for Ferrari — Lancia still have not completed the D50 for championship use. Stirling Moss starts from the second row for the Maserati works team.
