Juan Manuel Fangio, born on June 24, 1911, in Balcarce, Argentina, was one of the most celebrated drivers in the history of Formula 1. Known as "El Maestro," Fangio won five Formula 1 World Championships during the 1950s, a record that stood for nearly 50 years. His career spanned several teams, including Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and Maserati, each of which he led to victory.
Fangio's racing style was characterized by remarkable precision, skill, and strategic brilliance, allowing him to dominate an era when safety was minimal and the sport was particularly dangerous. His dedication to physical fitness and technical understanding of race cars set new standards for drivers. Fangio retired from racing in 1958 with an exceptional win rate, having won 24 out of 52 races he entered. He continued to be involved in motorsports and served as an ambassador for Argentine automotive interests until his passing on July 17, 1995, in Buenos Aires. Fangio remains a legend and an enduring influence on the sport of racing.
