Alain de Cadenet was certainly right... True Sportsmanship may be an outmoded concept, but these gentlemen certainly knew how to live it! It has been missed for too long a time.

Juan lived a long life, not many champions of that day did. He started racing F1 fairly late in life, compared to "normal". He will always be considered among the greatest drivers to ever race. Simply surviving that era of racing was an accomplishment in itself.

OMG what an amazing footage ! Good old times when men were opponents and friends !

The famous race where Fangio was much closer to the limit as he actually want, "The best way to win a race was by going as slowly as possible". Now it's normal to go to the limit, but those days the risk was much higher.

Great find.

With the speeds of that era that was still possible. Even a modern hot hatch is much faster than a 1957 F1 car. In slower classes like the VLN series they still do mixed races on the Ring. But for modern F1 the speed difference with other classes is just too big and too dangerous.

All that sportsmanship on the podium honoring the GOAT.

Both cool and utterly frightening to see the relaxed attitude of the drivers and the more or less total lack of safety equipment. Ok, the speed was not like today, but man, being so unprotected if something happens...!? Like people on motorcycles today when driving at blistering speeds in only t-shirts and jeans. Thanks for sharing the video - great to see such a classic race at a legendary track. 👍🏼😊

Well, in a way, it is still pretty much the Lancia-Ferrari, only heavily modified; still had the same V8 engine, Lancia gearbox, among other things. They removed the side pannier tanks and enlarged the rear fuel tank in its place, making the car handle much like a "typical" mid-50s F1 car (the original Lancia D50, thanks to all the novelties it had, had excellent traction, but very hard to control once the rear tires lose grip)

"A less cynical era." And we thought the same all along.

Proper motor racing!

In my opinion the only other post war driver in history to use the same brain-spiritual power to win a Grand Prix against all odds was Ayrton Senna. No wonder the Brazilian revered the Argentinian legend.

the greatest post war front engined race ? yes, this or the 1953 french gp, ( which also featured a hawthorn/fangio duel)

I think that it's impossible to say which were the greatest formula 1 drivers of all time. There have been so many changes to things, that drivers in one period had to perform in different ways from another period. What you can say, is how sportsmanship has changed, how the danger of driving has gradually been lessened with advances in technology. My feeling is that racing in the fifties, for example, relied more on the driver, compared to now, in the 2020's, where small changes to cars can result in a few hundredths of a second one way or the other. Now, all you see of the driver is the top of a crash helmet, and results are often decided by officials in an office, studying computer screens, and measuring how many inches a Tyre crossed a painted line. Oh, dear, how long until the drivers sit in simulators, operating remotely controlled radio cars ? Maybe Nuvolari, Fangio, Moss, and drivers from those times gave us a better show?

I've never been fond of Hawthorn after the '55 Le Mans disaster: he never acknowledged any culpability for the worst accident ever in motorsport history, even though it was his sudden hard braking due to the Jaguar team manager's last-minute direction for Mike to make a pit stop that set events in motion. Macklin in the Healey 100M (the car in front of the 300SLR that Levaugh was about to pass) always felt hurt by Hawthorn's cold denial of any responsibility for Levaugh's crashing into the stands, killing some 88 spectators plus himself.

Macklin is the one who lost control and caused the crash.

You need to re-read the chapter "The 'Ring" because you are talking about the '58 race, not that of '57. Bob points out that Collins wanted to be a famous race driver, not a champion; that was too heavy a load to bear. In '58 he did tell Hawthorne to win, but when Tony Brooks slipped past both, Collins stormed after him. Some say his overheated brakes failed. Phil Hill thought he just never used them going into that final curve.

Fangio was the greatest! I bow low to his mastery of motorsport! BTW, It's Fahn-Joe, not Fan-gee-oh! Never, ever, depend on the British to pronounce foreign names correctly, because they basically don't care how foreigners pronounce things. (I'm American) - Now I'll admit I don't know how Fangio pronounced his name, but it looks like an Italian name, and in Italian the 'i' is (generally) there to modify the sound of the 'g'', not to be pronounced. It's like the difference between 'caca' and 'chacha' (or 'sit' and '$hit', if you prefer). If you look at the Wikipedia article on Fangio, they say it's pronounced [ˈfandʒo'] (but then, maybe they don't really know, either) For all I know, Fangio may have pronounced his name 'Fahn-gee-oh', but since he spoke Italian, I kind of doubt it.
