1939 W 154 (W 163) Silver Arrow Mercedes-Benz Rudolf Caracciola - 1939 German Grand Prix
9.3.09
The W 154 received the W 163 V-12 mid-way through the aborted 1939 GP Season. Lang was crowned champion, but Caracciola's run at Nurburgring was the stuff of legend.
The previous year, with the clouds of war roiling, Briton Dick Seaman "put one in their eye" with what would be his last win for Mercedes. Tragically, Seaman died in '39's Spa Francorchamp Belgian GP. Visit the links below for much much more.
