Fangio highlights are simply amazing to watch.
Karaya
More amazing considering the relative primitivity of the cars.
Did you ever see the highlight of Fangio hitting an oil spill? The car goes completely side ways he barely keeps it under control, slides past the oily spot a bit, blips the engine regains yaw control and moves on non chalantly. He was a truly gifted pilot.
Not that the new crop is bad at all but they have the advantage of state of the art technology and I don't see much being done that Fangio did without it fifty years ago.
