eason summary

Mercedes again dominated the season, with Fangio taking four races, and his new team mate Moss the British Grand Prix. Ferrari won at Monaco after the Mercedes broke down and Ascari crashed into the harbour. Although he was apparently unscathed, he crashed fatally at Monza four days later. The disaster at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 11 June which killed Pierre Levegh and over 80 spectators led to the cancellations of the French, German, Spanish and Swiss Grands Prix.
