1955 British Grand Prix
Going Into This Race
Pre-Race Report
Previous race
At Zandvoort, Fangio and Moss finished over a minute clear of Luigi Musso’s Maserati despite a circuit made slippery by continuous drizzle. It was the first podium since the 1950 French Grand Prix at which no Ferrari-powered car appeared.
Championship standings
Fangio leads the championship after back-to-back victories for Mercedes in Belgium and the Netherlands, with Moss his closest challenger.
Between-race developments
The French Grand Prix, rescheduled from 3 July to 25 September following the Le Mans disaster, remains on the calendar.
Entrants
Jack Brabham makes his Formula One debut at Aintree.
Track changes
The British Grand Prix moves from Silverstone to Aintree for the first time, as part of a rotation between the two circuits. Aintree was purpose-built around the Grand National horse-racing course near Liverpool and was designed at the time of its construction to be one of the safest and most modern facilities in Europe.
