1956 Argentine Grand Prix
Pre-Race Report
Entrants
The entire field at Buenos Aires is Italian: Ferrari and Maserati each enter five cars, with three further Maseratis completing the 13-car grid — two private entries and a BRM-entered car for Mike Hawthorn. Fangio opens the championship with Ferrari while Moss leads the Maserati effort. Collins and Musso, who moved to Ferrari from Maserati over the winter, face their former team from the other side of the garage.
Practice
Ferrari fill the top three grid positions. Fangio’s pole time is 2.2 seconds faster than any rival.
