The1954 Spanish Grand Prix was aFormula Onemotor race held on 24 October 1954 atPedralbes. It was the ninth and final race in the1954 World Championship of Drivers. The 80-lap race was won byFerrari driverMike Hawthorn after he started from third position.Luigi Musso finished second for theMaserati team andMercedes driverJuan Manuel Fangio came in third.

The long-awaitedLancia D50s arrived-using their 90 degree V8 engine as a stiffening aid for the chassis; they were simple but brilliantly designed.Alberto Ascari immediately set the fastest practice lap and led from pole.

Luigi Villoresi in the fellow Lancia retired with brake trouble after just 1 lap and Ascari succumbed to clutch problems after 9 laps.

Various other drivers took the lead and then retired;Harry Schell spun off,Maurice Trintignant had mechanical problems andStirling Moss overheated (one of several retirements caused by flying newspaper jamming the radiator ducts). The race boiled down to a duel betweenMike Hawthorn andJuan Manuel Fangio but the Argentine was losing oil and lost second place toLuigi Musso. Hawthorn hung on to take the win with Fangio driving well to claim the final podium position.

This proved to be the last major race held at the Pedralbes street circuit. TheLe Mans disaster in 1955 meant tighter safety regulations, and the spectator-lined street circuit in the Pedralbes neighborhood of Barcelona was abandoned and has not been used since.
