Nicholas Watts - Summer of 54

Each print is hand signed by Juan Manuel Fangio, Jose Frolian Gonzalez, Karl Kling and Hans Herrmann

The return of Mercedes Benz to Grand prix racing at the 1954 French Grand Prix caused a sensation when two of their W196 cars, under the control of the legendary team manager Alfred Neubauer, took the first two places driven by Juan Fangio and Karl Kling. Powered by straight eight fuel injected engines with desmodromic valve gear and clothed in magnificent streamlined bodywork, the race became a Mercedes demonstration as the opposition expired in futile pursuit of the new German "Stromlinienwagens". Eventual winner Fangio is shown in the early stages of the race leading his team mate Karl Kling who is overtaking the Ferrari 553 Squalo of Gonzalez, as they accelerate from Thillois corner, July 4th 1954, Rheims
