1955 Season Report

Juan Fangio won the 1955 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship driving for Mercedes, finishing on 40 points, 17 clear of Stirling Moss. Fangio won 4 races that season.

No Constructors' Championship was awarded in 1955 — the teams' title was not introduced until 1958, so the drivers' standings were the season's only championship.

4 different drivers won a Grand Prix, and 25 drivers scored championship points.

Championships in this era were decided on a "best results" basis — drivers counted only their highest-scoring finishes towards the title, so season totals can differ from the sum of every race result. Dropped scores were abolished from 1991.
