Product Description

This book describes Juan-Manuel Fangio's youth in Buenos Aires, his first steps in motor racing in Argentina, and then his move to Europe where he scooped all Formula One honors.

Like Fangio himself, this illustrated biography also delivers comprehensive results, featuring several hundred photographs and car drawings. Until last year, Juan-Manuel Fangio was the sole owner of the Formula One World Titles record, winning it a remarkable five times (a record only just now equaled by Michael Schumacher). His unique style is much admired by Schumacher himself, who admits that drivers of the past were in another world.
