F1 - Juan Manuel Fangio (On Board Camera) - 1957

[rufusnolan512]

Your video is a favorite on Paraguay

[ipecaquana]

At the point 0:40 died in 14 March 1957 Eugenio Castellotti and at the point 1:04 Giulio Cabianca 15 June 1961. Two of the best Italian pilot of the time.

[ipecaquana]

This is Modena circuit !

Dd

[TheV12ferrari]

Died in 1995 at the age of 85, in his home

[jymbob33]

The track is Modena Autodrome, Fiorano was built in 1972 and is Ferrari's private test track. Enzo would not have allowed a Maserati F1 car to test there.

[apriliakawasuzuki]

This is not at fiorano, which I think did'nt exist by then, but the modena

circuit which is disused

[Realitytourist]

It's foolish to try and compare today's drivers to yesterday's. While Fangio might have trouble in a modern Ferrari, it would be interesting to see Schumacher in a 1952 Alfa or a 1957 Maserati. Also, the circuits have been much improved since the 50s - as the vehicle speeds got faster, the roads were smoothed and other safety factors improved, which allows the modern driver to take the circuit at higher speeds.

[hmaninc]

Im sorry but to call this guy the best ever is ridiculous, if anyone honestly thinks he would even get a drive in f1 today they are living in a dream world. Maybe in his time he was the best, but the average f1 driver today is incredibly talented and the entire field is incredibly close, back in those days there were has only a handful of top class drivers..

[AERTOBOTON123]

@hmaninc today exist tecnology in f1 , in those day it was a box whith wheels it wasnt easy drive

[FLMKane]

@hmaninc There is no reason he could not drive a modern car with the proper training. Similarly there is no reason Vettel couldn't drive a vintage F1 car with practice.

[jockellis]

Enzo Ferrari thought Nuvolari was the best. We can argue but he saw everyone mentioned in these comments. I like Clark, too. But I would definitely defer to Ferrari.

[noonelikeskat]

I'm sorry to stir an argument, but to reply to the 'top two comments', formula one drivers these days have massive balls for what they are doing and the speed they go. Seconly, they would never drift these days, they don't need to, it's bad for the tyres, and the cars have so much downforce they get round the corners with loads of grip.

[leveebreaker7]

@noonelikeskat I'm glad someone said this. I'm tired of watching vintage races and seeing comments like "the men today are pussies... these guys have BALLS!," as if today's drivers aren't doing anything but taking up space in the car. Get over yourselves... I'm sure Schumacher could be competitive with Fangio had the two met in their prime, in similar equipment they were both familiar with.

[alecorvette03]

el mas grande !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pinin500]

Nuvolari, Varzi and Ascari were the greatest GP drivers, Surtees, Moss and Clarke,

so much choice....

[Malinth66]

@Pinin500 Don't forget Rosemeyer. :)

[22j77]

Senna was most likely the perfect racer. He loved, understood and knew how to get the best out of the technology. He knew he had what it took and was devastated when he lost to someone in an equally fast car.

[RafaelSatchmo]

Responding to the viewer who stated that drifting is the least efficient way of going through a corner:

You don't know your auto history. Tires didn't stick back then. Drifting on the edge was the ONLY way to get through a corner fast. The car had to be kept right on the edge of adhesion to go fast, the "tippy toes" as Nigel Mansel once said.

Tires on F! cars today STICK. That's why F1 cars don't drift.

Back then, drivers really DROVE THE CARS.

Study your history!

[monsterrocks]

@RafaelSatchmo thx for that i didn't know that although it's something i always thought of would the width of the tyres have something to with it and the rubber or

Modena no?

[wysiwyg248]

@charles19502010

Fiorano airport track

[kenns9]

Is that a race track or a California hiway?

[213HBK]

In the on board forward direction, it look like he's going so slow on the straights but when he's going thru the corners he's quick as.

[schumisebas]

@213HBK The zoom used in the camera is too high, That's why it looks slow on the straights. The same happens with the video of Mike Hawthorn in the Jaguar D-Type of 1956. He was reaching 170MPH, but looks like he's going at around 110MPH.

[0ThePainkiller0]

JUST AMAZING...

[flaperke]

Why do modern F1-cars don't drift...

[McLarenMercedes]

@flaperke

they grip too well, not to mention drifting looks cool but actually is the least efficient way to go fast through a curve

[niallio77]

the Lotus 79 came only 20 years after this which really highlights the amazing

advancement in that time

[MrEndofhate]

smooth, consistant, fast the best that ever was

[iwanther]

Ah! Wonderful... when tyres were thin and drivers were fat!... thinking of Gonzalez : (first Ferrari Grand Prix winner in the World Championship era, should anybody wonder what I'm talking about...!)

[fateola]

I wonder how fast he was getting on the straights. It looks relatively slow, but perhaps that's largely to do with how high it is off the ground.

[PoopTupe]

Cos of the speed difference in the cars i recon these cars would feel like gokarts and be able to be driven quite well by the likes of button etc

[hoogestefan]

@PoopTupe Those cars still had a top speed about 200 km/h at least. Can't see a gokart reaching that. Also those cars are a lot heavier and their center of gravity is a lot higher.

So I reckon Button and anyone else would still have a hard time racing those machines.

[cmegone1]

This was real racing with real drivers. Today its more about the drivers looks and the machinery he drives. As you can see in this video, they were really muscling these cars around and also in a 4 wheel drift on almost every corner, it amazing to see this. These drivers today couldn't carry these guys water bottle.

[ImperatorGloriae]

THIS IS NUVOLARI in Modena.

[allerocco]

@ImperatorGloriae ahahahaha nuvolari never raced in modena

[TheRockinpneumonia]

i didnt think it was fiorano, its the wrong time for starters because it didnt exist then. also the track layout is wrong and why would a maserati be there, fangio though...........schumacher...­...eat your heart out son, watch a real master at work

[allerocco]

ye i confirm that IT'S NOT FIORANO , this video was filmed near my house eheheh ,in the old aerautodromo of Modena.

This track was closed laters cause it was considered too dangerous and cause here several drivers died hitting some private houses next to the track.

[ImperatorGloriae]

@TheRockinpneumonia In MANTOVA I'm sorry

[Sikakuhc]

It's amazing how these people were racing at the same speed that todays F1 (300km) they couldn't turn at that speed for obvious reason.

Fangio won his last race in Germany (nurnberger) at the age of 46 years old. Both ferraris were driven by 2 pilots 20 years younger than him. His last lap the seat of his maserati broken..and after a 3 hours race and with all these problems.. He did an amazing race. Still considered the greatest race after more than 50 years. Schumacher? yea sure.

[louraceprep]

this is real racing you either drove the car right or you died this breed of driver wouldn't be allowed to race now their not pretty or willing to sell insurance but their driving mutherfuckas

[dimsadms]

This era of F1 was way more interesting,one wrong move and you gone.

[RealAutoTech]

neomuttley you are so right, no roll cage, no seat belts, drum brakes ect... these guys had balls, taking these cars to those limits. Truly awesome.

[WatanukiF1]

Fangio, Gilles Villeneuve and Ayrton Senna... the greatest F1 drivers in all the history.

[monsterrocks]

@WatanukiF1 what about Jim clark and Jackie Stewart?

[WatanukiF1]

@monsterrocks very good drivers, but for me they are not the best, it's just a personal judging

[34D2234]

its funny not to see the trees back then llike today

[neomuttley]

Those old cars look cool, but (Christ) were they death traps!

[chakko007]

Seems like it :). Thanks for this great video, very nice stuff!

[indio77777]

i don't know but did they have camera footage like that in 1957?

[viewfromseats83]

Listen to that baby purr!  Fangio was the man!!

[KillerDreck89]

I think since the 90's F1 has gone worse, this year, there's only one legend left, even if he's not a real legend:Rubens Barrichello.

[abdabs21]

The autodrome is not that of Monza but on the contrary the airplane autodrome of. Modena in a day of private tests to make a demonstrative video of the Ferrari raced, three hundred meters away from that place were born!

[iain399]

Beautiful correction at 0:42! Rght on the limit, even with what musthave been a whacking great big camera on the back, upsetting the balance of the car. Great stuff

[laptop2050]

Legendary man...

[skulltotenkopf]

GREAT FANGIO. THE ONE FOR EVER.

Where they do this movie? In a test circuit of Mercedes?

Its very nice, really.

I learn to drive by reading Fangios´s lessons in a Readers Digest from 1957.

Tank you by this movie.

Regards from Brazil.

[LeviFig]

I haven't seen drifting in F-1 in... forever! :o

[BMWizardofOz]

I have seen it this year sometimes

[cfrock]

Safety did not mean a thing back then...Great video

[generaatoririhm]

The era when men had balls of steel!

[icollectstuffdude]

Great footage.

[blink3roo]

he was THE man...

[GavinS1965]

Can't believe he used to race in a t shirt,racing was 20 million times better back then,its just an advertising procession now..boring.

[enacrt]

Those kerbs are freakin' high...!

[NateDawg80126]

lol no joke, run one of those and your day is over

[identiticrisis]

It's a shame these old vids are always so badly dubbed! I guess they had to make them "lively" for the audience...

[portugal1e]

very great video forza ITALIA  força ferrari

[ltnrig]

Masterful slides through turns. A delight!

[kusitof]

Fangio

Schumacher

Senna

Prost

Lauda

Clark...

Estoy contigo.

[Thecharles16]

Nuvolari !

[copech]

nothing about Senna but..

Fangio

Schumacher

Senna

Prost

Lauda

Clark...

Look minute 1:00 or look minute 1:33

[Bennyboy1985]

No way, how could you not have Senna in there?

[drakhat]

The sound of the engine when Maestro shifts down just gives me the shivers!

[Pompyroftw]

Amazing.

[stopper12racesims]

Well in the first part we see the front of the car with no camera then it switches to a camera in the front of the car but there is no camera on the back!! How is that possible

[Nankerphelge686]

I think in those days the cameras were very big, so 1 camera at a time. And afterwards they made one movie of it, otherwise I wouldn't know

[RothmansRenaultF1]

1. Fangio

2. Senna

3. Clark

4. Prost

5. Lauda

[LDlala23]

Nothing against Fangio but:

1)Schumacher

2)Senna

3)Fangio

4)Clark

5)Lauda

Fuck Hamilton, fuck Alonso, fuck Massa, fuck Räikkönen, fuck everyone else!!!!!

[gerry20009]

agree with u

[scscotto]

Thanks for finding this great footage!Remember they didn't even use seat belts then!

One of the best drivers ever!

[thrillathakilla]

And the prop shaft was exposed and spinning between the driver's legs apparently too.

[loquenoseve]

Fangio, pride of Argentina. Inmortal legend. The Greatest.

[tracid303]

amazing... theres no roll bars or anything on his car... no wonder he broke his neck one year, he was lucky to race again.. but yeah fangio is the greatest there ever was moss wasnt too bad either =P

[LDis1]

THE greatest of all time. Hamilton cannot compare, nor can Senna, nor can Schumacher.

[kjsh987]

newyankee you don´t know anything about f1, you got to compare the years and the technology. on that time didn´t exist the computers and drive as fagio was like a heaven´s present. now you have computers appart of a incredible protection and you can win like 10 championships.

so fangio was the best, and better than andretti.

[ichmalealsobinich]

kein Monocoque Coupé, kein Überrollbügel, kein Asbestanzug, nicht einmal Sicherheitsgurte. und dann das Auto! Zu Recht bleiben Fangio und Carracciola die größten Rennfahrer aller Zeiten trotz Schumi.

[Nankerphelge686]

I don't understand spanish. Please lower your language

[TigerSupercatE1]

google translate! :-)

[Palatina66]

Das waren noch Zeiten...! :-)

[DinglieDonglie]

Great video. The greatest driver.

Thanks for posting :)

[HondaRacingDevellopm]

lol, yes the daddy of drift !!

[umityldz]

This man,, daddy of drift : )

[YamahaMiro]

yeah i bet he also had Electronic Brake-force Distribution, ... :D,  ........ BTW nice video

[JAG312]

At the very end you see Fangio's mechanic, Piero Mazzetti. Many years ago when I was a much younger man I went to see Piero Mazzetti about a Ferrari racing car. Later he took me to the Ferrari factory for a short tour. Grazie Senor Mazzetti.

[YRHDB]

Yes...if we can call traction control to his right foot....

[shossni]

You're being sarcastic, I imagine?

[WisperMetal]

my father knew him, he has a photo of him with an autograph

im from argentina

[tapeatsboom]

Wow! Great video! Love those old card but what about those curbs. Wouldn't want to hit one!

[VirgLondon]

Goes to show how much of a good driver he was on what looks a rough uneven track with quite thin wheels which must have made handling very tricky

[rodneystar]

well the thin wheels were actually to improve handling - because the suspension is so soft it makes the car more controllable when you lose grip

[Edustinen]

Beautiful! Just awesome !

[bamboootscha]

i think its a quite normal camera which is only build on a car... too big for using them in race

i think here is a video that shows the use of one of these cameras in the middle 70's in monaco

[Rivelution]

dang if u crash in that ur pretty much done for

[gilmalafaya]

great video!

[kronoman]

the raw beauty of the car is just awesome

[gypsyhater]

This is one of the best and most rare onboard ive ever seen. Thanks alot for the video.

[pimpincoconut]

One of the smoothest drivers I have ever seen. Thanks for the vid

[DinglieDonglie]

The greatest.

[gwanur]

Looks like Fiorano...Ferrari's test track.

[therrydicule]

It's Fiorano

[NewYankee01]

hes alright but unlike the great murray walker i would not call him the greatest f1 driver

[monsterrocks]

@NewYankee01 who would u call the greatest driver of all time?

[NewYankee01]

well because f1 has spanned so many eras youll never get a definitive answer the one everyone must be getting tired of hearing is senna, if he'd have been in schumachers place and schumacher didnt exist just imagine through his talent how many more titles he'd have won, there might never be a more naturally gifted driver to grace this earth ever again, theres a reason he's so fondly remembered, if everyone weighed up what senna offered to f1, everyone would believe senna to be the best ever...

[monsterrocks]

@NewYankee01 well a personal opinion of mine is i reckon Jim Clark was the best F1 driver ever and theres a doco on him on youtube an another one saying he would be better then michael shumacher at fast laps he'd of doubled Shumachers and won just as many championships there are more but can't remember if Clark was still around as well as Senna i'd pay to see them both race against eachother i think that woul dbe a epic battle unfortunately it can never happen:(

[RUBENLOMAS]

GRACIAS  MADE IN ARGENTINA

[sasarasasarasa]

The Legend.

[pacsum]

One of the greatest F1 hero's but I admire, the most, the 250F.

[tigerblue]

A total legend! Great video.

[diablillo299]

excellent!! Fangio is the best :D

[augieaugie2]

Allowing me to watch this and then expecting me to sit behind a desk all day tomorrow seems unspeakably cruel.

[damontudy]

Bravo

[anguruso]

his car is such a piece of shit, look at that wheel moving up and down.

[Timinator62]

Congratulations on winning the "Stupidest Comment on Historical Racing Video" you don't suppose the track surface had anything to do with "that wheel moving up and down" ? ...plus the fact it's in Black and White only goes to show that if it was a "good" car it would be in color too....right?

[spitfireJEJ]

The circuit is the one at Modena in Italy - then largely used as a test track by both Ferrari and (as in this case) Maserati. No wings, no seat belts - just the pure brilliance of arguably the greatest of them all.

[ebolamonk3y]

drifting :)

[racingmodels]

Stunning footage of JMF in his Maserati 250F thank you!

[eneidaq]

Incredible!!!

[orotiso]

fangio the best driver ever . aguante argentina !!!!!

[ksz01]

this can't be monza, there are corners which are too tight

[LAZJDM]

Ask yourself,what is an Argentine...an Argentine has a Italian,Spansih,German or French backgorund. I know this because I'm Argentine myself. My background is Italian/Spanish,but im Argentine. Fangio is Argentine blood.

[mcossy]

Oh yes...

[mcossy]

No... I'm not. I know he has Italian parents.

I my self am Argentinian, and my Parents are Italians and Germans. I just wanted to make that point clear, not to offend you nor Italian people.

Sorry if this seemed to be a flame or something like that.

[mcossy]

As many Argentinians, the most part of them have European parents. So, Fangio is a real Argentinian, and leave it as is.

[mcossy]

What can I say? This sis just masterful.

[pacsum]

that was real man racing, polo shirts and leather helmets.

[baltafacha]

best racer ever, y es ARGENTINO!!!

[rafateixeira]

Incredible...amazing....

[gumbyada]

wow thats amazing! 1957!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[olarcial]

The conditious were absolutely incredible on those days. Those tracks...how could they even get the car under control.

[AccordGTR]

Amazing how dangerous it was to be a race car driver then: the curbs are so high, you could be launched if you hit them. Is he wearing a shoulder harness at all? No roll bar. No fire suit. JMF is one of the best drivers of all time.

[RA272]

Thank you for posting this - very good video. But this is not in Monza, but Fiorano.

[guillermomanzi]

Not Monza, Nor Fiorano (built in the 70') it´s Modena
