1953 Swiss Grand Prix

1953 Swiss Grand Prix

The 1953 Swiss Grand Prix was a Formula Two race held on August 23, 1953 at Bremgarten Circuit. It was part of the 1953 World Drivers' Championship, which was run to Formula Two rules in 1952 and 1953, rather than the Formula One regulations normally used.

It marked the brief return of Grand Prix-era legend Hermann Lang. He was given a chance to participate in Formula 1 racing driving for Officine Alfieri Maserati after one of their team drivers was injured. He raced in two Formula One World Championship events overall -- one in 1953 and one in 1954 -- and his result here, a fifth place finish, was his best result.
