Great shot! Fangio had his epic race at the Ring the following year. He put some manners on Ferrari, Collins and Hawthorn!
Nice reference! It was an absolute masterpiece — Fangio’s comeback after a disastrous pit stop, breaking the lap record nine times in pursuit of the two Ferraris, and overtaking both Collins and Hawthorn in the final laps to win. At age 46! No wonder he called it "la mejor carrera de mi vida." A true display of genius, courage, and mechanical sympathy. Image Unavailable, Please Login
"We thought he was too far behind. We weren’t even checking our mirrors anymore. Then suddenly, that red Maserati was there — and already gone again. Fangio was driving like the devil was on his heels." Peter Collins, Scuderia Ferrari driver Image Unavailable, Please Login
Absolutely correct. One year earlier… Monza 1956. Believing his time would come, Peter Collins gave up his car—and the championship—to help Fangio secure his fourth title. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Kodachrome was amazing. I just bought a book of airliner images from the '50s, all shot on Kodachrome, and the depth of the color after all the years is fantastic.

Ronnie Peterson at the 1977 Monaco GP in the Tyrrell P34 — same car as in the shot above, but this time with its "clothes" on. Sadly, the brakes weren’t quite as well put together: DNF. Image Unavailable, Please Login
