Hermann Lang was an established professional racing driver who competed in single-seater Grand Prix racing at the top level. His indexed career comprised two Formula 1 starts, both in 1953 and 1954, driving for Mercedes and Maserati. He finished 16th in the 1954 Formula 1 championship standings.[1]
Lang's Formula 1 record saw him race against graded professionals and established drivers on the international stage. He finished ahead of established professional Luigi Villoresi and Ken Wharton, both of whom had substantially more Formula 1 experience; Villoresi had 33 starts and Wharton 16 by the time they met. His time in the series was brief, with limited opportunity to establish himself among a field that ranged from amateur entrants to the elite drivers competing in that era's championship.[2]
