But only a few were close to his heart - the glorious #Maserati 250F being one of them. Seen here climbing the #FOS Hill in 2004 with his nephew Juan Manuel Fangio II behind the wheel, the 250F was the tool with which Fangio captured his fifth and final #F1 title in 1957.

In this clip, he is fondly talking about his first love - the Alfa Romeo 158/159 “Alfetta” - itself one of the most successful race cars ever made, with 47 races won out of the total 54 it was entered

1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 Streamliner 'Monza' driven by legends Juan Manuel Fangio and Sir Stirling Moss. Price expected to be over $50,000,000 USD. This car is the first Streamliner-bodied W 196 R ever offered for private ownership 👀 which means the rest are in car museums, which this one was also (Indianapolis Motor Speed Museum). One of four known examples mounted with factory-built Stromlinienwagen coachwork at the end of the 1955 Formula One season. . . . . #f1 #raceday #racetrack #racecar #
