Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting.

Steve McQueen

In his lifetime Juan Manuel Fangio was called 'El Maestro' and was rightly considered as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time.

In seven full Formula One seasons (he missed one recovering from a nearly fatal injury) he was World Champion five times (with four different teams) and runner-up twice. In his 51 championship Grands Prix he started from the front row 48 times (including 29 pole positions) and set 23 fastest race laps en route to 35 podium finishes, 24 of them victories. His superlative track record was achieved by some of the greatest displays of skill and daring ever seen. Fangio did it all with style, grace, nobility and a sense of honour never seen before or since.

Fangio flourished in Formula One racing when the world championship was in its infancy and he was a comparatively 'Old Man' - which is what his admiring rivals called the aging genius who won his last driving title in 1957, when he was 46 years old.

Most of his challengers were young enough to be his sons, and nearly all of them came from privileged backgrounds far removed from Fangio's humble origins in a remote corner of Argentina, in the dusty frontier town of Balcarce. His father and mother, hard-working immigrants from the Abruzzi region of Italy to whom Fangio was deeply devoted, raised their six children (three boys and three girls) to believe in God and the dignity of labour.

Juan Manuel Fangio credited his parents with instilling in him the virtues of honesty and integrity, self-discipline, respect for others and the sense of responsibility that characterised his approach to life. 

Fangio’s legacy in the world of motorsport is immense. He set a standard of excellence that has inspired generations of racers, and his smooth driving style and strategic mastery have been studied and emulated by countless drivers. He was also a pioneer in the sport, helping to popularize Formula One in South America and paving the way for future generations of drivers from the region.

A notable victory came in the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, where Fangio overcame a 50-second deficit to win the race by just over three seconds. The race is remembered for Fangio’s heroic performance, as he pushed his car to the limit and overtook several competitors in the closing laps.

Driving fast on the track does not scare me. What scares me is when I drive on the highway I get passed by some idiot who thinks he is Fangio.

Who Was The F1 Qualifying Champion Each Year (1950-1979)?

Clark with 5 championships! Fangio with 6! Find out how F1 history would be different if only qualifying results counted.

F1 Qualifying Champion 1980-2022 Following on from a look at the 1980-2022 championships if they were decided by qualifying, here we look at 1950-1979. As we shall see, the trend of earlier championships being heavily impacted by reliability continues across the 1960s and 1970s, with reliability impacting the comparison of qualifying and races less in the 1950s.
