The W196 featured a distinctive plain body with streamlined aerodynamics, enhancing its speed and handling on both road and closed circuits. Fangio, considered one of the greatest drivers of all time, used the W196 to dominate the 1954 Formula 1 season, securing his second World Championship. The car's innovative features, such as its fuel injection system and independent suspension, set it apart from its competitors. The 1954 season was especially notable for Mercedes' return to motorsport after a long hiatus, and the W196's success helped re-establish the brand's dominance in F1. The combination of Fangio's exceptional driving and the W196's technological advancements made it a landmark in the history of motorsport.
