Juan Manuel Fangio's illustrious name is indelibly inscribed in the record books and many consider him to be the greatest driver in history. It was forty-six years before his record of five World Championships was beaten, but even now he is still remembered for an exceptional Formula 1 career, which contained some of the greatest displays of skill and daring ever seen. Few, though know of his almost super-human exploits in epic South American road races that made competition at the pinnacle of motorsport seem like child's play. «Fangio: The life behind the legend» is the compelling tale of the life of a Formula 1 legend.

    When another driver died — and over 30 of them did during his time in Europe — Juan tried to reassure himself that his accident had happened as the result of a mistake. He was fully aware that his crash at Lesmo had happened for the same reason as the 1948 crash that claimed the life of his friend Daniel Urrutia: in each case, the common factor was driver fatigue. He resolved never again to drive when he was tired (a vow he kept even when driving on everyday roads), nor would he allow himself ever again to dwell on the likelihood of crashing. Like most drivers, though he feared dying in circumstances that were beyond his control, Juan felt certain that, provided he could keep his negative emotions in check, he could remain master of his own destiny. ‘When you feel sure of yourself and have confidence in your car’, he said, ‘you don't think about the possibility of an accident. I believe that if somebody thinks he is going to have an accident it is better for him not to race at all’.

    More than anyone, Fangio represented the sporting ethic of a period of motor racing that is now long past. He was an artist in the cockpit, tremendously fast, and a daunting competitor. But he wasn't flamboyant. He didn't play to the gallery. He always said the best way to win a race was by going as slowly as possible.
