Juan Manuel Fangio (1911 – 1995). The five time world champion from Argentina, aptly nicknamed “The Maestro”, dominated the first decade of Formula One grand prix racing. Often regarded as the greatest driver of all time, his five championship wins with four different teams (Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz and Maserati) may never be repeated. His statistical record….24 wins and 35 podiums from 51 starts, 29 pole positions and 23 fastest laps is the mark of a legend. |
