F1 Germany Grand Prix<\/strong><\/h4>\n

N\u00fcrburgring circuit, 22 Km x 22 laps = 484 Km. To this day this race represents something unique. It is considered by historians to have been the most fantastic F1 race in the 50\u2019s. It\u2019s the race where Juan Manuel Fangio had proven his class and bravery.<\/p>\n

The Maserati 250F used Pirelli tyres which didn\u2019t cover all the other 480 km. Whereas, Ferrari used the Englebert tyres, which lasted for the whole race. Therefore, Maserati made the decision for Fangio to set-off with half a tank of fuel, in order to take advantage of the lighter weight than Ferrari, and to build up around ten laps of advantage, which would have been sufficient to keep first position, even after the pit stop to fill up and to replace the rear tyres.<\/p>\n

Despite his 46 years, Fangio was in extraordinary good shape. He had already won three races out of the four which had been raced until that point. He didn\u2019t struggle much to obtain the pole position, with a time of 9\u2019 25\u201d 6; at the start, as he always did, he left all of his opponents parade and the timings table attached is the summary of how Fangio managed the race. At the second lap, he was already at the head of the race and at the twelfth lap, when he stopped at the pits to fill up and to replace the rear tyres, he had gained enough advantage to set off again, if not in first place, in a favourable position at the very least.<\/p>\n

When something unexpected happened!!<\/p>\n
