A Life of Speed: The Juan Manuel Fangio Story

I cannot believe the people that give this documentary a low star review! So much love time and effort went into making this. Viewers are so damn ungrateful these days! You make it if you think you can do better.

Loved watching every second of this. Thank you!!

The average rating is bogus! Doesn't reflect the documentary at all.

Wish there where more stories like this available online.

Amazing.

I mean, I feel ya bud but... come on, is that really 1 worthy?

I want engine noise! All I got was a wall of pointless background music, drowning out both voice and noise. Could not stand to keep watching (hearing) that.

(Flash Review)

Was Juan Manuel Fangio the best F1 driver of all time? He is known as the godfather of F1 as he was the best and most accomplished driver it the early 40s-50s era and held the record of 5 World Championships until Schumacher finally topped him at the turn on the century. He was also able to win championships with several different manufacturers; a rarity. There is some great early racing footage in here. The documentary is straightforward and not creative except from a vague analysis they concocted to pick a best driver over every era. Guess who they picked...?

It is kinda sad that when there is good story to tell, had a chance to interview with some special names in Formula 1 history, but there is no storytelling. Time didn't pass while I was watching, several times I checked the bottom bar to see how many minutes to end. In my opinion; unfortunately this documentary is not so successful about reflecting Fangio's legacy. But in otherside, it is good to see the old and original aspects of Formula 1 and motorsport history. If interested, then it might worth see it.
