I met Fangio at the 1976 Grand Prix of Long Beach. He drove demonstration of the Mercedes W196 Grand Prix car and after watching from general seating, I made my way back across the skybridge to find a location to watch the upcoming F1 race. There he was....standing by himself hands-on hips and perfectly still just gazing out looking at the track (must have been remembering many things), with crowds of people swirling around walking past (no one recognized him!). He was very nice, signed my race program, we talked a bit and shook hands. Most striking feature of the Maestro were his super intense eyes...like an eagles gaze is the best way I can describe it. I'm sure if in Europe he would have been mobbed by autograph requests.
Yes, still have it. On programs a story to share, I lived in W.Germany in my late teens thru early 20's ('73-'75) and wanted to race Formula cars and started in a sponsored F-Ford (an Alexis Mk2). I went to many F1/F3/F3, Interseries, GT races (Nurburgring, Hockenheim, Zandvoort, Monaco, etc.) and so collected a lot of posters/programs of that era. Eventually, I ran out of living money and had to stop F-Ford. Eventually, I ended up doing slaloms and rallye's driving a modified Porsche 356B S-90 and again ran out of money. When I sold the Porsche, the Alexis F-Ford owner gave me a gift before I returned to the states...the gift was the original race program and race day ticket in perfect condition to the Hockenheim F2 race that Jim Clark drove in and died. I kept it all these years until reading an article about Dario Franchitti maintaining a Jim Clark museum/memorial in his London estate in July 2013. So, I had an idea...I contacted his Management Co. in the UK and pitched the Jim Clark program/ticket. Dario wanted it...and asked how much? My reply was no money....but how about a visit to his J.Clark memorial room and couple fast laps around his estate (in one of his favorite super cars) on my next visit to the UK?...Management company said "sorry but no way because of insurance liability exposures"... but... "he would like to meet you if/when your in a city he races in"...so I gave it away to Dario for a very low 3 figure sum. In November 2013, Dario had that crash in Phoenix that ended his career any my chances of our ever meeting. But, better the Clark relic living in Dario's collection than in my file drawer. p.s. Had one fine day after winning a slalom at the Porsche test track at Weissach in which the prize was 8 laps (as a passenger) in a 917k modified with an extra seat. It was driven by Jurgen Barth Jr. Jurgen stomped on it and we flew around the test track - those few minutes were the highlight of my 3 years trying to fulfill a dream. That dream began reading a short story about J. Fangio when I was 11 years old. You can imagine what was going through my head when I spotted Fangio at Long Beach...
Dude I'm 150% totally jealous! Fangio is my all-time racing hero! I talked about him to every speed freak and race enthusiasts I meet. His style of driving, his technique, his fearlessness for speeds unheard of even for people today in the types of cars that he drove is just absolutely amazing. To see him drive a w196 around the Long Beach course must have been an absolute treat. I get goosebumps just imagining it. To see him drift the corners and rev that incredible straight 8 must have been eargasmic. What was it like to witness the maestro driving that incredible piece of machine?
Eric YEH Eric, I have the same regard of Fangio as you do. This guy was a boyhood hero. He drive the Mercedes factory 196 with old style googles and leather helmut...probably his "kit" from the old days. While he didnt drift the car, he went through a rapid and precise gear change (downshift and upshift) each time around. He was on power early....but carefully in turns. I was at the end of the straight on Shoreline Drive followed by a hairpin right...so he surely must have dancing on the pedals. Thanks for your comment.
Best F1race of history. Nürburgring 1957. Aware that the Pirelli tires would not resist the entire race and that pit stop would have to be completed after half a race, Fangio decided to go out on the track with half tank of gas, to get away soon after the start and get a good advantage before stopping, replacing tires and refilling the tank in half. This should allow him to be ahead enough of the Ferrari to remain a leader after the stop. Of course in Formula 1 nothing is what is expected. After the departure, Juan Manuel Fangio escaped and after thirteen laps, had a thirty second advantage over Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins. That's where Formula 1 showed, once again, that things are not always going as expected, and the stop of Juan Manuel Fangio was a disaster. The team of mechanics had problems removing one of the used wheels and the argentine came out fifty seconds behind of the Ferrari, with ten returns for the end. In the first round, Fangio recovered the leader of the race sixteen seconds, and nine seconds in the second. In addition, he BROKE THE TRACK RECORD NINE TIMES in those ten laps, seven of them, followed. During the penultimate lap, the Maserati star driver overtook the two Ferrari, and continued to do his best until the end, taking the victory by a mere three and a half seconds, having made a spectacular comeback.
He won his fifth and final championship with this drive - what an amazing achievement! Hawthorn and Collins, the two Ferrari drivers, were not even displeased to be beaten, they knew they've witnessed greatness.
Cuando era pequeño en mi ciudad Barcelona inauguraron un centro comercial de una marca muy conocida aquí. Hicieron una exposición de formula 1 brutal y tuve la gran suerte de que el de seguridad era íntimo de mi padre. Y claro en el cierre no había nadie controlando y pude echarme un vistazo y montarme en ellos sin armar mucho ruido. Habían coches como el ferrari de Gilles, el Tyrrell de Jackie entre otros... Y al final de todo había el mitico maserati de Fangio. Me dejo alucinado la cantidad de tubos que tenía en el cockpit y lo inseguro que era eso mira que los otros tampoco es que fueran "seguros" pero lo de Fangio enfín una barbaridad pensar a la velocidad que se ponía con esa tumba con ruedas.
"Fangio is on a level much higher than I see myself. What he did stands alone and what we have achieved is also unique. I have such respect for what he achieved. You can't take a personality like Fangio and compare him with what has happened today. There is not even the slightest comparison." - Michael Schumacher "What he did in his time is something that was an example of professionalism, of courage, of style and as a man, a human being. Every year there is a winner of the championship, but not necessarily a world champion. I think Fangio is the example of a true world champion" - Ayrton Senna
My Dad was born in 1934 and lived long enough to experience the Schmui era and the debut of Hamilton. He also got to see Fangio at the Nürburgring when was a teenager. According to Dad, there was no comparison. Not even close. Fangio was unquestioningly the best by far.
The final quote of Striling Moss calling Fangio the greatest who ever lived as we remember him as one of the greatest racers ever following his recent death brings tears to my eyes. We will never ever see drivers like them again.. Race in peace Fangio and Moss. My absolute favorite Racers from the 50s.
The greatest. The best. The master. The one. This is Fangio for me. Thanks Antti for remembering us not just the best driver of all times, but an example of Human been.
A true master, he made it look easy, e.g., at 1.16, the casual, even graceful, lifting of his hands from the wheel as it centres. As if he's dancing with the car. The right stuff.
Como Dato, quien ingresa con Fangio en el minuto 1:37 es José Froilan Gonzales, otro piloto argentino que entre otras cosas es el primer ganador con Ferrari en la Formula 1. Un grande el Cabezón.
Fangio is the goat 🐐 in my books! The guy set the bar for the modern day F1 driver. The fact that he raced and won in so many categories is mind boggling. F1 today doesn’t like to do 20 races. Fangio raced every weekend!
God changing gears like it is suppose to be. How on Earth you can tell who's the better driver these days if half of the driving is done by a machine! Bravo Fangio!
@@TinyBearTim He complained about that particular Williams he drove that it was designed around the assists, which it was, and therefore undriveable without them, not about them being banned in general.
@@TinyBearTim he also said once in an interview overall electronics take away from pure racing, in that particular situation with that car due to the design as the other guy said , was specific
He had all traits a true "alpha male" has. He helped others to perform better, he stayed relaxed in difficult situations and under pressure, was focused and a true gentleman.
Shear Determination and the Will to Win! At all cost! Juan Manuel Fangio! Stirling Moss said he was the best of all time. R.I.P. Juan Fangio and Stirling Moss! Shawn
For the era he drove in, for being head and shoulders above all others during the era he drove in, for an unsurpassable win percentage, for 5 titles with 4 different teams, for being universally admired by everyone he ever raced against, for his incredible tenacity, consistency, speed and panache behind the wheel, for being a pure racer and a gentleman to the end, and for being humble and dignified throughout it all, I present the true greatest F1 driver of all time. All others sit at his feet.
He risked his life again and again and I marvel watching him, one has a glimpse of his brilliance and iron will by understanding how he raced ever closer to the edge. Fangio's affinity for the machine is unparalleled, proven by his racing to that very edge of what was humanly possible and somehow going beyond it, survive and thence live amongst we mere mortals......F1 is not like that anymore.
A man from a working class family son of illiterate parents from a South American country, Argentina to become number one in Europe and around the world. something that will never happen again in the world we live in today sheer passion, sheer willpower and hard work.

Truly the greatest there ever was!
Fangio y Senna Senna y Fangio, ambos sabian que eran los mejores de todos los tiempos, asi de facil. mutua admiracion mutuo respeto etc etc, Para Ayrton, Fangio era, no solo el mejor piloto, sino un gran hombre, digno de admirar y aprender, para Fangio , Ayrton era no solo el mejor piloto, sino en sus palabras, ¨ah ese si que es un profesional, un gran deportista ¨.
A Senna lo tuvieron que matar! Justo en imola tuvo el "accidente" en plena maffia...todavía recuerdo cuando pasó, estaba en la casa de mí abuela y todos los demás en el comedor, yo tenía 6 años y nomme creían lo q vi en tv...hoy los entiendo, no podíamos creer q pase eso, la muerte de los ídolos es inaceptable...soy argentino
@@rebelnet for those lucky enough to have seen Jim, he has no equal. But, it has to be said Fangio had retired before I was old enough to see him in the flesh and his record of championships in different cars is astounding. He will always be second on my list, but I can understand why he is first on many other peoples list. A true great.
The most iconic face ever photographed, whether in leather or plastic helmet, in motorsports......it tells us of heroic acts of bravery, preseverance, confidence, certainty, victory, mastery, yet calm, respect, benevolence.......yes, I wish he was my dad.
The kind of sensitivity Antti shows in these edits are truly great homages to great sports figures, like The Maestro. Some humans have God-given talents for a specific activity: Mozart in music, Ali in boxing, Michael Jackson in music/dancing, Michael Jordan in basketball. Fangio was born to drive a race car. Perfection.
EXCELENTE...!!!!!! Great edition .. a great homage to the greatest pilot of all times, and an extraordinary person .. again congratulations, a great job ..
Thanks for being Argentine Juan Manuel Fangio, Antti if you could access the archives of the sports race in Argentina you would not believe it. If you love racing you should know it. hug.
He won 5 championship of 9. 55%, in 4 different brands. He won 24 GP of 51. 47%, 48 times starting in the 1st line. Of 51 GP in 23 he made the fastest lap. 45% He was the greatest, numbers speak for themselves.
Gracias Antti por recordarlo. Perdón por escribir en español pero me salen mejor los sentimientos. Soy argentino pero vivo en España. La vida me llevó a conocer a las sobrinas de Fangio y me enseñaron trofeos que pude ver y tocar que no están en su museo de Balcace... que visité haciendo 800 km en 2 días para verlo. El museo más grande del mundo dedicado a un deportista. Gracias una vez más. Un abrazo.
To all the monumental feats and records and deeds that Fangio has achieved, there is just one more fact I would like to add to the legend he is. Commonly the great Senna is considered the best wet driver ever, but some statistical and mathematical studies (hence totally objective and unbiased), based on benchmark of the performances of drivers on the wet with those of teammates in equal machinery, state that Fangio was actually by far the greatest wet driver in F1 history. Second comes Senna with Schumacher close third. Too bad we have no footage to admire the skills of El Maestro on the wet.
Forget Schumacher , Forget Hamilton , Forget Senna , this driver right here were from when the only way to win a race was to stay in 1st , and the only tool to control the car was your own hands , not even a bit of helping technology. no TCS , no protection , no stupid DRS . Fangio best driver ever known to humanity

Juan Manuel Fangio. El mejor de todos los tiempos.
The Untouchable Racer of All Time, Fangio made the car that he drove the Champion, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes, Ferrari or Maserati it doesn't matter.
He drive the great Lancia D50 (owned by Ferrari team and Champion in 1956)
Awesome, Antti. "Que viva El Chueco!"
Nunca me cansare de mirar este vídeo.... Las imágenes, la música y la humildad y el temple de un verdadero campeón
He was
The ultimate driver
And forever will be
Paulo Lúcio Machado de Brito what about Michael Schumacher
For me he is the third best of all time
Niki Lauda
Alain Prost
Fangio
Senna
Schumacher
Clark
Still one of the most inspiring edits ever made.
He won 5 championship of 9. 55%, in 4 different brands.
He won 24 GP of 51. 47%, 48 times starting in the 1st line.
Of 51 GP in 23 he made the fastest lap. 45%
He was the greatest, numbers speak for themselves.
Fangio,Senna,Gilles the REAL F1 DRIVERS.
Ronnie peterson, clark, ascari, lauda, stewart, warwick, prost
Racing pioneer. In that time they have to beat each other and death who waits behind every corner.
Thank you for ths video. We miss Fangio very much... (from Argentina..)
The Only man who make me proud of the Country i live
Un grande Fangio.... gracias Antti
he looked so relaxed and composed, like he was just out there demonstrating how it should be done. racing a ferrari at monaco in the 50's.
Thanks, from Argentina!! I want you know the Turismo Carretera! Is the old school in the new time.
Great video, awesome music, in honor to the Greatest driver who ever lived. Many thanks for sharing such a superb video. Cheers
Gracias Antti por recordarlo. Perdón por escribir en español pero me salen mejor los sentimientos. Soy argentino pero vivo en España. La vida me llevó a conocer a las sobrinas de Fangio y me enseñaron trofeos que pude ver y tocar que no están en su museo de Balcace... que visité haciendo 800 km en 2 días para verlo.
El museo más grande del mundo dedicado a un deportista.
Gracias una vez más. Un abrazo.
Please please do a tribute to James Hunt...
Marc &
This video makes me tingle all over and gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it...
As elegant a racer as the time in which he raced. El Maestro.
Indiscutiblemente el #1 de TODOS LOS TIEMPOS!!!!👏👏👏👏
Fangio 8 seasons 5 championships 2 subchampionships. 28 pilots dead. 4 scuderias... the best far away
With 39 years old
What 28 pilots dead? In that 8 years!?
I love how his shirt flaps in the wind. It makes him look majestic
Nice work Antti, as always. Fangio el mas grande!
Para mi Fangio y Senna los mejores
El mas grande,el de mejor porcentaje de victorias.Único.
To all the monumental feats and records and deeds that Fangio has achieved, there is just one more fact I would like to add to the legend he is. Commonly the great Senna is considered the best wet driver ever, but some statistical and mathematical studies (hence totally objective and unbiased), based on benchmark of the performances of drivers on the wet with those of teammates in equal machinery, state that Fangio was actually by far the greatest wet driver in F1 history. Second comes Senna with Schumacher close third. Too bad we have no footage to admire the skills of El Maestro on the wet.
Like always beautiful, bravo Antti, bravo Fangio!!!
Forget Schumacher , Forget Hamilton , Forget Senna , this driver right here were from when the only way to win a race was to stay in 1st , and the only tool to control the car was your own hands , not even a bit of helping technology. no TCS , no protection , no stupid DRS .
Fangio best driver ever known to humanity
Forget Senna???You are crazy???
My 20 years of Racing by Fangio is worth reading!!
Fangio is the passion argentina!
I can only describe Fangio as "Faster than his own car"
Great comment - so true!.
Always watching! regards from Brazil!!!!
G.O.A.T.
