It was race 5 of 7 in the 1955 World Championship of Drivers. The 100-lap race took place the weekend after the 1955 Le Mans disaster in which over 80 people perished, among them Mercedes driver Pierre Levegh while Juan Manuel Fangio narrowly escaped. The remaining two Mercedes 300 SLR were withdrawn during the night while in the lead. In Zandvoort, Mercedes came back with three F1 cars which dominated practise, qualified for the first row, and scored another 1-2 Mercedes win. The Lancia team remained absent, having retired after the fatal crash of Ascari. The GP was won by Fangio after he started from pole position ahead of his teammate Stirling Moss while Karl Kling, a second slower in practise, could not keep up with the leaders and spun off on the slippery track. Maserati driver Luigi Musso came in third, which ended a 35-race streak of a Ferrari ending on a World Championship Grand Prix podium since the 1950 French Grand Prix (excluding the Indianapolis 500 that was part of the WC calendar). Race report October 2020 Inline citation y Despite a track made slippery by continuous drizzle, the record crowd was treated to some outstanding driving as the masters slid their machines through the sand-dunes. Fangio and Moss again took up the lead with Musso's Maserati in pursuit. Kling and Behra were chasing furiously until the German spun into the sand and retired. Behra still suffered from leg injuries sustained during practice in Le Mans when he got hit by a car in the pits, preventing him from taking part in the 24h. He was passed by Mieres who took up the challenge to close the gap. However, Musso was too far ahead and was even catching the Mercedes pair who were having to go at full pelt to keep ahead. It was only when he spun off and dropped back that they could relax slightly. It was another impressive 1-2 for them, despite Moss sustaining a smoking engine late on in the race. Musso had given them a hard challenge and Fangio was the first to congratulate him on his podium finish.
