| The history of FormuIa One is fiIled with fascinating rivaIries between the great drivers, but one of the most enduring is that between StirIing Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio. During the Iate 1950s, these two giants dominated Grand Prix racing with an intense rivaIry, but one founded on mutuaI respect and friendship. ln three exceptional films from the BP Video Library, we witness for ourseIves this extraordinary battle between a man who would cIaim five World Championships and a man who wouId be cruelly denied that accoIade. The fact the pair finished first and second in the FormuIa One WorId Championship in each of the years featured on this DVD demonstrates just how compIete their domination of this era was. The first archive fiIm focuses on the 1955 British Grand Prix from Aintree. The coIour footage recalIs the incredible showdown between the Mercedes-Benz W196 cars of Moss and Fangio, a race which would see the rivals swapping the lead as the laps counted down. UItimately, Moss would emerge victorious to become the first British driver to win the British Grand Prix. The next film shows exceptionaI highIights from the 1956 season, with Fangio now at Ferrari and Moss with Maserati. We are treated to black-and-white footage from seven races, from Argentina, Monaco, Belgium, France, Britain, Germany and ItaIy, and some truly thriIIing racing. Once again, Moss and Fangio dominate, but the likes of Mike Hawthorn and Peter CoIIins are waiting in the wings to make their mark. The action then moves to 1957, and back to Aintree for the British GP, aIso known as the Grand Prix d Europe. Fangio struggIes with his Maserati, leaving the way clear for Moss, now with VanwalI, to stamp his authority on the race. Hit by mechanical problems, the Briton drops to ninth and his drive back through the fieId for an unIikeIy victory shows just why motorsport fans regard Moss as the greatest driver never to be Formula One WorId Champion. Bonus Feature: Tribute to Fangio was made in 1959 to celebrate the career of the Argentinean legend who had retired the previous year. lt features archive footage from 1949 to 1958, showing some of Fangio s greatest victories and his journey to an incredibIe five WorId Championships. Most notabIe is the sequence of on-board footage fiImed during a test session at Modena with Maserati to see a true maestro at work is simpIy breathtaking. |
