The 1956 Formula One season was the 7th FIA Formula One World Championship season. It commenced on January 22, 1956, and ended on September 2 after eight races.
Mercedes had withdrawn, so Fangio joined Ferrari who had been given the Lancias when they withdrew for financial reasons. The main challenge to Fangio came from Moss at Maserati, and from his team mate Collins, although the British Connaughts, Vanwalls and BRMs showed some signs of promise. Moss and Collins each won two races, but Fangio's shared victory with Musso in Argentina made all the difference.
