Mercedes-Benz W25, #4 Monaco, Luigi Fagioli, 1935

After returning to Grand Prix racing in 1934, Mercedes immediately enjoyed a very successful season. To be prepared for the 1935 racing season, technical improvements were made to the car and the engine output was increased to 430 hp.

The new racing season kicked off with the Monaco Grand Prix on April 22, 1935, in Monte Carlo. Mercedes had entered three cars driven by Caracciola, von Brauchitsch, and the Italian Luigi Fagioli. Serious competitors included such renowned drivers as Nuvolari, von Dreyfus, and Chiron (all driving Alfa Romeos). Maserati and Bugatti also anticipated good results. Auto Union did not even participate in the race.

Right after the start, Fagioli, starting with number 4, immediately took the lead. Luigi Fagioli then clearly dominated the race, finishing unchallenged with a half-lap advantage as the undisputed winner.

Mercedes-Benz thus achieved a perfect start to the Grand Prix season. This promising winning streak continued throughout the season. In the end, they secured 9 victories in a total of 11 races and produced the 1935 European Champion in Rudolf Caracciola, who won 6 Grand Prix races.
