@Sebastian Giraldo Schumacher estubo en el circuito por 17 años entrando a la edad de 22 años hermano, mientras que Fangio solo estubo 8 años recién entrando con 38 años!
Cómo me emociona ver a un argentino manejando un Ferrari encima salió campeón con ese auto, Qué grande Fangio que bien nos representaste en el mundo , QUE DIOS TE TENGA EN LA GLORIA CHUECO QUERIDO
Not even a plastic helmet..they were made from layers of cloth soaked in shellac (French Polish)...hence that natural dark brown colour. Cork lined with canvas webbing shock isolation and a leather chin strap.. only marginally more protection than a linen "flying helmet".
John . . .Made from layers of cloth soaked in shellac (French Polish)? Not even plastic? Then the pilots could have put on a cap, there wasn't so much difference.
Yeah, such pussies! Imagine - wanting to return home to their children, instead of being the sacrificial gladiators of the pre-90's! BTW - how would you fare in one of these old death traps?
The cinematography is awesome, all the angles they got without a go pro and that shot at 30 seconds in where he passes by a fancy building and you see him through the window, just stunning! The camera work on this is amazing!
There is just one problem here, there are no cameras on the car.How was that shot taken inside the cockpit through the steering wheel.What is a go pro.
I still can not figure out how those many shots were taken.If each one taken from a camera mounted on the car was done separately,then he must have made the run about 10 times.As an example,the one taken from high behind the car looking forward moving with the car, there is no camera visible that took the shots looking backward from beyond the front of the car.
There's something about these drivers and cars from the past, something that transcends greatness, Fangio especially. Words can't describe it, you have to feel it emotionally.
He looks like my grandfather, who would have been around the same age at the same time. It brings tears to my eyes, especially with the music. Men as great as this should never have to die.
Y quien te ha decido que Schumacher era mejor que FANGIO? O Jim Clark o Senna? Schumacher hás tenido suerte que por mucho tiempo no habia nadie que le tocaba. Era un gran piloto pero no es el mejor. Si no fuera por lá gran mierda que le han hecho, Hamilton tendria mas títulos ahora.
Self taught, no simulators, no fitness programs, no live on-board instructor training and no Stewart to instruct. Still he went through Mirabeau looking like Senna... or vice versa. He retired six years before I began following F1. Truly brilliant.

A los buenos, a los malos, a los mancos y a los super talentosos, a los que corren de verdad sean amateurs que lo hacen a pulmón o son profesionales , a los que también lo disfrutamos en los simuladores aunque sea con teclado, a los que lo soñamos de chico con serlo y no lo pudimos cumplir pero lo llevamos en el corazón, a los que lo pueden cumplir todos los fines de semana. A todos un muy Feliz Dia recordando al mas grande de todos los tiempos el "Chueco" Juan Manuel Fangio en el aniversario de su nacimiento el 24 de Junio de 1911.
Good observation! Fangio made his reputation as one of the best rally/off-road racers in South America before his career in Grand Prix racing. He had sublime car control skills.
En 2016 se batió el record de mayor velocidad punta. Lo hizo Valteri Bottas en Mexico. Alcanzó los 372 km/h. Desde 2017 los coches tienen menos velocidad punta porque son más anchos, y las grandes ruedas generan más drag, y lo mismo con los alerones, pero son mucho más rapidos en general.

Fantastic! I've never seen this footage before. Watching Fangio drift that Lancia/Ferrari through the streets of Monaco is amazing. One statistic that is often overlooked when comparing drivers is frequency of wins per start. On that record, Fangio is still king, having won just shy of half the races he started.
If you like cars running minutes apart. And the 3rd place car finishing 3 laps down! But the raw excitement and lethal danger was amazing. In the 70's, I went to 2 GP's. A driver died at each one! I don't want to see those days again.

A reader offers that filming specifically took place during the summer of 1971 on location in Monaco, Monza, Reims, Silverstone and at the Nurburgring, but I’m not sure what accounts for the 10 year difference b/w shooting scenes like this Monte Carlo one, and the IMDb release date of 1981.
Both are correct. The documentary is from 1981. The on board footage is from the 70's. Later o the movie he comments the differencez between "modern" cars of the 80's and the ones he drove and we see some footage of the new cars and drivers. I remember to particularly like the explanation he gave on the braking systems of the 50's compare to modern disc brakes. The movie itself is really a long interview with fangio about his carreer and F1 cars in general. Btw he still drove until his death in his late 80s. I saw him drive an F1 ferrari in the 90's. Don't remember the exact date. It was in an Argentina grand prix. He was still FAST. It was raining and he lost the car a little so he drifted a little to control it. The crowd went WILD
Cuando el coche anda bien, y el motor suena armoniosamente, el ruido se transforma en musica, y el piloto es como un director de orquesta. Fangio//Que pena me da ver la "F1" ( si se le puede llamar asi) actual.
The music, along with the great camera work, and ofcourse the best of the best, Juan Manuel Fangios driving just gave me chills. Amazing video thanks for sharing it.
Great video of the Virtuoso in action! He always seemed to come across as a nice guy and real a sportsman too (things I could never say about Senna or Schumacher). It looks like this was filmed in the 1960's by the look of the cars parked on the street. Amazing he was allowed to race that old 1950's F1 Ferrari with all those cars there and no other protection!
+mikogregorov: that is a 1956 Ferrari D-50 V-8, but in the hands of Fangio it really doesn't matter. he could be driving a ox cart and still slide it through the corners and not touch a hair on a sleeping dog.
I'm a huge Senna fan, but maybe Fangio was the goat, the man became champion with 4 different teams, plus driving these electric chairs, and managed to survive all that.
I have, of course as an F1 fan, heard of the great Fangio, but this is the first time I've watched any footage of him. His rep as a gentleman comes across. In the slo-mo portion especially, you can see the soul of the man. He now ties with Senna as my favorite all-time drivers!
Racing in an F1 car in a T-shirt, absolutely no grip whatsoever, manual transmission, no power steering, even cars parked on the track.... Jesus christ man...
Fangio...és grandioso...pois sempre amou o que fez...se impôs...sem perder a ternura...ano após ano...desfilou um repertório de records e de vitórias incontestáveis...um excelente exemplo pra todas as gerações do automobilismo...um mito que iniciou a fórmula um...com sua coragem...escreveu um nome que jamais esqueceremos...afinal a história não some nunca...assim ele sempre será reverenciado...
My favorite was Nuvolari, and Enzo Ferrari said the Ascaris were the absolute best. It always makes a fun discussion, because it can never be decided absolutely. too many variables.
it's true Kevin.very different times, difficult to choose the best but it is sometimes emotional the way that you put orders.competition, acceptance, conditions, influence and personality are the most important factors to give the best according to my experience.
Thank you for your comments Dimitris. This is my second year not driving. I'm adjusting to being a know-it-all spectator. When I was a kid I remember praying for Stirling Moss to recover from his 1962 crash at Goodwood.My mom had seen him race at Riverside, and she thought he threw away the race by not backing off and saving his car. (Fangio was her ideal because he was only as fast as he needed to be, and had some sympathy for his car.) My brother and I were Moss fans because of his legendary come from behind feats of skill and bravery. I also had great respect for the earlier drivers like Caracciola. I even won a speech competition describing him as a great example of a hero. I won a bet with a school chum when Jimmy Clark won the Indy 500. Along the way I met a few drivers most people will never recognize the names of. Bobby Naylor was faster than Mario Andretti on a circle track, but he died young. Harold Ellis beat Stirling in a sportscar race at the Nurburgring, but was fired by Colin Chapman for not following team orders...etc. I guess it's a bit like fighter pilots. Skill, determination, effort, equipment, and just a bit of luck. I got to see Fangio the year he was honored at the Monterey Historics. To do the memory justice would require a rather lengthy post, but Ill say that at over 80 years old, he was very fast, and very precise. Nice to remember greatness.
Nope, Michael Schumacher is the greatest F1 driver of all-time, no matter what you people say. After Schumacher is a long gap and then comes maybe Senna and Fangio, but Schumacher was simply the boss.
Genio Maestro!!! Cuánto nos enorgullece a los argentinos!!! Con esos autos poderosos pero inseguros donde el piloto era el que llevaba la máquina y no la máquina al piloto como hoy con tantas asistencias para estabilizar el auto, es sin lugar a dudas aún hoy el Mas Grande corredor de F1 de todos los tiempos. Ni Schumacher ni Hamilton le llegan a hacer sombra. Y de caballerosidad, ni hablar.....
LMAO, this is a real race car driver. if you watch his hands, he knows just when to release the wheel and when to grab it and apply power to the car. when to turn into a corner and when to brake before it, and all this without power steering or computer aided shifting. what blew me away was the lack of safety, what with the cars parked along the raceway by the curb, from a corner that had a right hand turn and the cars on the left. amazing!
***** TifosoPatF1 josj15 guys, this clip is from a pseudo-documentary film: ‘Fangio - A Life at 300km Per Hour’ (IMDb: www.imdb.com/title/tt1052346/ billed as “A documentary of Fangio’s life with his own testimony.”) The executive producer and director was Hugh Hudson of ‘Chariots of Fire’ fame, and, according to Sports Car Digest, this scene and others were shot “in the late ‘60s or early ‘70s, making Fangio approximately 60 years old during filming”. A reader offers that filming specifically took place during the summer of 1971 on location in Monaco, Monza, Reims, Silverstone and at the Nurburgring, but I’m not sure what accounts for the 10 year difference b/w shooting scenes like this Monte Carlo one we’re presently discussing, and the IMDb release date of 1981.
Best. Racecar. Driver. Ever. pardons to Senna ,Clark & Moss but this man defined hardcore driver/machine melding into a single, Italian-horse powered monster.. 🏁🇮🇹🏆
Fangio driving a V8 Lancia Ferrari(1956) on the circuit of Monaco, in the second part of the 1960s (see parked cars dating from the 60s, and a Peugeot J7 van), on open road (in open streets !), probably early in the morning . Who can say when exactly was this document shot?
Fangio was the best ever. He won 24 races out of 52 (46%) with 29 pole positions (55%) and 23 record laps(44%). Five times world champion and runner-up twice. When he won his last championship, he was 46 years old! He drove Ferrari (1 championship) Maserati (1) Alfa Romeo (1) Mercedes Benz (1) and in 1954 he started with Maserati and later on drove a Mercedes Benz.
Gracias por compartir esas imágenes y esa frase de Fangio tan diciente para los que nos apasiona este deporte: "Cuando un coche anda bien y el motor suena armoniosamente, el ruido se transforma en música y el piloto es como un director de orquesta"

"In that time, already there were many new technical developments: motor mounts inside the chassis, lateral tanks, shift lever very close to the steering wheel, optimized driving position…but this car had another important history: it was the same type of car that, in 1955, here in Monte Carlo, Ascari finished with in the sea!”
[lots of driving...]
“When a car goes well, and the engine note is harmonious, the noise makes a form of music; the pilot [driver] is like a [musical] conductor [director de orquesta]…”
[music...and slow-mo cuts interspersed w/ Fangio hand movements at table...]
Apparently it’s extracted from a pseudo-documentary film: ‘Fangio - A Life at 300km Per Hour’ (IMDb: www.imdb.com/title/tt1052346/ billed as “A documentary of Fangio’s life with his own testimony.”)
The executive producer and director was Hugh Hudson of ‘Chariots of Fire’ fame, and, according to Sports Car Digest, this scene and others were shot “in the late ‘60s or early ‘70s, making Fangio approximately 60 years old during filming”. A reader offers that filming specifically took place during the summer of 1971 on location in Monaco, Monza, Reims, Silverstone and at the Nurburgring, but I’m not sure what accounts for the 10 year difference b/w shooting scenes like this Monte Carlo one, and the IMDb release date of 1981.
Both are correct. The documentary is from 1981. The on board footage is from the 70's. Later o the movie he comments the differencez between "modern" cars of the 80's and the ones he drove and we see some footage of the new cars and drivers. I remember to particularly like the explanation he gave on the braking systems of the 50's compare to modern disc brakes.
The movie itself is really a long interview with fangio about his carreer and F1 cars in general.
Btw he still drove until his death in his late 80s. I saw him drive an F1 ferrari in the 90's. Don't remember the exact date. It was in an Argentina grand prix. He was still FAST. It was raining and he lost the car a little so he drifted a little to control it. The crowd went WILD
Cuando el coche anda bien, y el motor suena armoniosamente, el ruido se transforma en musica, y el piloto es como un director de orquesta. Fangio//Que pena me da ver la "F1" ( si se le puede llamar asi) actual.
Definetely GOAT
I think Fangio is a forgotten hero
He will never be forgotten.
This is beautiful, in so many ways, including the music toward the end. Very good!
Grande maestro!!!!!!una clase magistral....si lo tuviéramos hoy no tendría rival con su talento hoy también sería invencible
The music, along with the great camera work, and ofcourse the best of the best, Juan Manuel Fangios driving just gave me chills. Amazing video thanks for sharing it.
Lleguemos al millón cómo se lo merece!!!
Great video of the Virtuoso in action! He always seemed to come across as a nice guy and real a sportsman too (things I could never say about Senna or Schumacher). It looks like this was filmed in the 1960's by the look of the cars parked on the street. Amazing he was allowed to race that old 1950's F1 Ferrari with all those cars there and no other protection!
+mikogregorov: that is a 1956 Ferrari D-50 V-8, but in the hands of Fangio it really doesn't matter. he could be driving a ox cart and still slide it through the corners and not touch a hair on a sleeping dog.
A gentleman and modest - not like the two publicity loving prima donnas you mention
I'm a huge Senna fan, but maybe Fangio was the goat, the man became champion with 4 different teams, plus driving these electric chairs, and managed to survive all that.
Qué hermosa frase; "...es cuando uno se vuelve director de orquesta..." 👏👏👏
Unbelievable understeering yet amazing speed & control...only legends can do...
the first time I hear his voice.WONDERFUL
Excelente video, toda una joya, una maravilla ver conducir al mejor de todos, saludos desde Lima Perú.
Fantastico! Grazie.
I have, of course as an F1 fan, heard of the great Fangio, but this is the first time I've watched any footage of him. His rep as a gentleman comes across. In the slo-mo portion especially, you can see the soul of the man. He now ties with Senna as my favorite all-time drivers!
Racing in an F1 car in a T-shirt, absolutely no grip whatsoever, manual transmission, no power steering, even cars parked on the track.... Jesus christ man...
This is life
Fangio was such a legendary chad. Un saludo a los hermanos hispano hablantes presentes!
Fangio. One of the Gods of F1.
Fangio...és grandioso...pois sempre amou o que fez...se impôs...sem perder a ternura...ano após ano...desfilou um repertório de records e de vitórias incontestáveis...um excelente exemplo pra todas as gerações do automobilismo...um mito que iniciou a fórmula um...com sua coragem...escreveu um nome que jamais esqueceremos...afinal a história não some nunca...assim ele sempre será reverenciado...
1. Juan Fangio 2. Ayrton Senna 3. Jimmy Clark
My favorite was Nuvolari, and Enzo Ferrari said the Ascaris were the absolute best. It always makes a fun discussion, because it can never be decided absolutely. too many variables.
it's true Kevin.very different times, difficult to choose the best but it is sometimes emotional the way that you put orders.competition, acceptance, conditions, influence and personality are the most important factors to give the best according to my experience.
Thank you for your comments Dimitris. This is my second year not driving. I'm adjusting to being a know-it-all spectator. When I was a kid I remember praying for Stirling Moss to recover from his 1962 crash at Goodwood.My mom had seen him race at Riverside, and she thought he threw away the race by not backing off and saving his car. (Fangio was her ideal because he was only as fast as he needed to be, and had some sympathy for his car.) My brother and I were Moss fans because of his legendary come from behind feats of skill and bravery. I also had great respect for the earlier drivers like Caracciola. I even won a speech competition describing him as a great example of a hero. I won a bet with a school chum when Jimmy Clark won the Indy 500. Along the way I met a few drivers most people will never recognize the names of. Bobby Naylor was faster than Mario Andretti on a circle track, but he died young. Harold Ellis beat Stirling in a sportscar race at the Nurburgring, but was fired by Colin Chapman for not following team orders...etc. I guess it's a bit like fighter pilots. Skill, determination, effort, equipment, and just a bit of luck. I got to see Fangio the year he was honored at the Monterey Historics. To do the memory justice would require a rather lengthy post, but Ill say that at over 80 years old, he was very fast, and very precise. Nice to remember greatness.
I would rate Clark above Senna. No teammate ever pressed him.
Nope, Michael Schumacher is the greatest F1 driver of all-time, no matter what you people say. After Schumacher is a long gap and then comes maybe Senna and Fangio, but Schumacher was simply the boss.
Genio Maestro!!! Cuánto nos enorgullece a los argentinos!!! Con esos autos poderosos pero inseguros donde el piloto era el que llevaba la máquina y no la máquina al piloto como hoy con tantas asistencias para estabilizar el auto, es sin lugar a dudas aún hoy el Mas Grande corredor de F1 de todos los tiempos. Ni Schumacher ni Hamilton le llegan a hacer sombra. Y de caballerosidad, ni hablar.....
Wow... Pure Driving... Fangio será EL Maestro Forever
Spectacular. A run time in F1 was really something to real men!!!
LMAO, this is a real race car driver. if you watch his hands, he knows just when to release the wheel and when to grab it and apply power to the car. when to turn into a corner and when to brake before it, and all this without power steering or computer aided shifting. what blew me away was the lack of safety, what with the cars parked along the raceway by the curb, from a corner that had a right hand turn and the cars on the left. amazing!
+belknapdlg26 Old school "let me do the driving" shit.
Es un Orgullo que haya nacido en nuestro país, un grande Juanma, numero 1 indiscutido con Ayrton.
What an awesome footage! Fantastic takes, editing… And what a driver Fangio was!
1:38 cars very literally parked on the circuit...
sign of the times in so many way, gotta love that...
I think the circuit isn't set up here, it's just a demonstration with closed streets for the documentary

This is not a car... This is a wheel bomb!
The real mens balls!
Fangio's forever!
QUIEN NO SE EMOCIONA CON ESAS MANOS EXQUISITAS AL VOLANTE Y AL LIMITE EN MONACO GRANDE MAESTRO FANGIO FOREVER....
Tail-out drift, power slide, opposite lock steer, throttle steer,...........Fangio
Also, I love how at high speed (really noticeable during slow motion) he remains calm. Just look at how relaxed his face is.
The Best of the Best Ever
Best. Racecar. Driver. Ever.
pardons to Senna ,Clark & Moss but this man defined hardcore driver/machine melding into a single, Italian-horse powered monster.. 🏁🇮🇹🏆
Fangio driving a V8 Lancia Ferrari(1956) on the circuit of Monaco, in the second part of the 1960s (see parked cars dating from the 60s, and a Peugeot J7 van), on open road (in open streets !), probably early in the morning . Who can say when exactly was this document shot?
Awesome. What a driver. What a car. What a sound!
orgulloso que haya sido NUESTRO
Jolie !
Fangio est parmi les plus Grands dans l'Histoire de la F1 et il a marqué son époque !

Que genialidad escucharlo al MAESTRO!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Fangio was the best ever. He won 24 races out of 52 (46%) with 29 pole positions (55%) and 23 record laps(44%). Five times world champion and runner-up twice. When he won his last championship, he was 46 years old! He drove Ferrari (1 championship) Maserati (1) Alfa Romeo (1) Mercedes Benz (1) and in 1954 he started with Maserati and later on drove a Mercedes Benz.
Love that shot of him speeding by outside the hotel windows...
Gracias por compartir esas imágenes y esa frase de Fangio tan diciente para los que nos apasiona este deporte:
"Cuando un coche anda bien y el motor suena armoniosamente,
el ruido se transforma en música
y el piloto es como un director de orquesta"
The best ever by far
Wow didn't even know this video existed, excellent insight into f1 and it's early days, and watching the legendary Fangio in action is special.
que grande fangio
El Maestro! This is priceless footage. Mille Grazi!
"El piloto era como un director de una orquesta"
heart stopping stuff..and the guy looks like hes out on a sunday cruise
