Best F1 driver in history gets Netflix documentary
Juan Manuel Fangio is known as the best F1 driver in history, and his life is outlined in A Life of Speed: The Juan Manuel Fangio Story on Netflix, released today.
A Life of Speed: The Juan Manuel Fangio seeks to get inside the mind of the legend throughout his career and personal life. It aims to offer an insight into what led him and other drivers to risk their lives racing in cars that flew at the same speeds as today, but with minimal safety precautions and where many do not make it to the end of the season.
The film was inspired by a study conducted in 2016 by the University of Sheffield that determined that Juan Manuel Fangio is the best F1 driver in history.
The film was directed by Francisco Macri and is available to stream now on Netflix.
