'''Juan Manuel Fangio''' (born 24 June 1911 in Balcarce, 17 July 1995 in Buenos Aires) was an Argentine racing driver who competed in Formula 1 from 1950 to 1954. A very talented sportscar and non-championship driver, he was an occasional front-runner in the early days of the championship, narrowly losing the [[1950 Alternate Formula One season|1950 title]] to [[Giuseppe Farina]]. He won two championship Grands Prix while developing a reputation as a crash-happy driver. He drove for [[Alfa Romeo]] and [[Ferrari]], then signed for [[Jaguar-Aston Martin Racing]], but following an accident at the [[1954 Syracuse Grand Prix]] where he broke his legs, he was forced to sit out the following year and a half. Fearing his career to be over, Fangio announced his retirement, but was nonetheless offered a drive at Ferrari for 1956, which he accepted. He scored a podium in Monaco, but largely disappointed.

Juan Manuel Fangio (born 24 June 1911 in Balcarce, 17 July 1995 in Buenos Aires) was an Argentine racing driver who competed in Formula 1 in all of the 1950s. A very talented sportscar and non-championship driver, he was an occasional front-runner in the early days of the championship, narrowly losing the 1950 title to Giuseppe Farina. He won three championship Grands Prix while developing a reputation as a crash-happy driver. He drove for Alfa Romeo and Ferrari, then signed for Jaguar-Aston Martin Racing, but following an accident at the 1954 Syracuse Grand Prix where he broke his legs, he was forced to sit out the following year and a half. Fearing his career to be over, Fangio announced his retirement, but was nonetheless offered a drive at Ferrari for 1956, which he accepted. He scored a podium in Monaco, but largely disappointed. 1957 was a better year for Fangio, scoring his third win in Spain as he finished 9th in the championship.

His nephew, Juan Manuel Fangio II, would go on to race in Formula One in 1995.
