Conceived as a two season series, “Fangio” is the “opportunity to portray one of the must spectacular characters of the 20th century,” according to a six-minute promotional video, which will be presented at Ventana Sur.
From 1951-57, Fangio won the Formula One World Championship five times. This year the Economist ranked champions according to the relative importance of car quality to driver skill, rating Fangio as Formula One’s all time best driver. Equally spectacular was his accident in Monza, which ends the first season, at a time when Formula One driving was incredibly fast, drivers wore no protective equipment and tyre treads could strip in a race.
“When you’re in love with the checkered flag, you don’t have time for anything else,” Fangio’s character says in a voiceover in the video. “That’s why I raced at 300 km an hour, so that love never caught me. I never allowed love to get in the way of my destiny,” Fangio adds. Fangio will die “tormented by his emotional failures,” the video observes.
