1956 F1 World Championship STANDINGS
Until 1991 only each driver's best results counted towards the title. These totals include every scoring finish, so the order can differ from the official 1956 championship.
The Constructors’ Championship was first awarded in 1958, so only the drivers’ table exists for 1956.
FANGIO won by 3 points from Moss8 Grands Prix, 5 different winners.
