Fangio and Publicity

display_0957d51541

Fangio, most modest of world champions, comes in for publicity of various kinds. This isn’t his fault; it is the penalty of fame. Instead of devoting space to pictures which show Fangio eating, smiling, thinking, resting, drinking, receiving trophies and other things which other people can do, Motor Sport prefers to depict him doing something no one else does as well—driving fast in a G.P. car.
