1957 German GP Highlights [1/2]

10 minutes of highlights from the legendary race.

[RACE SPOILER] - For those who dont know, this was Fangio's last ever win, and his best. After emerging from the pits with 10 laps to go, Fangio was was nearly a minute behind the leading Ferraris. From there he managed to break and re-break the lap record to take the win.

Some think this is the single greatest drive in motorsport history.

"Early in the 21st lap, Fangio was beside Collins on a straightaway, approaching a bridge that was barely wide enough for both cars to fit side by side. Collins backed off, and Fangio took 2nd place. Late in the 21st lap, during a left corner, Fangio cut past Hawthorn on the inside of the corner, with only his right tires on the track and his left tires on the grass. Fangio maintained his lead, and won the race."

Umberto Maglioli looks like Schumi (a little bit) ^^

I'm afraid that is not how it happened. Fangio passed Collins for 2nd place going into the NorthCurve, at the end of the straight behind the pits. Collins was taken by surprise, and slithered sideways a little.

@RealAutoTech If you can call their helmets safety equipment lol

These were real men, nerves of steel, its absolutely unbelievable how hard they pushed their cars, sans any safety equipment except their helmets.

Fangio was amazing!!!
