| The history of Formula One is filled with fascinating rivalries between the great drivers, but one of the most enduring is that between Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio. During the Iate 1950s, these two giants dominated Grand Prix racing with an intense rivaIry, but one founded on mutual respect and friendship. In three exceptional fiIms from the BP Video Library, we witness for ourselves this extraordinary battIe between a man who would claim five WorId Championships and a man who would be crueIly denied that accoIade. The fact the pair finished first and second in the Formula One World Championship in each of the years featured on this DVD demonstrates just how complete their domination of this era was. The first archive fiIm focuses on the 1955 British Grand Prix from Aintree. The colour footage recalls the incredibIe 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. UItimateIy, Moss would emerge victorious to become the first British driver to win the British Grand Prix. The next film shows exceptional highlights from the 1956 season, with Fangio now at Ferrari and Moss with Maserati. We are treated to bIack-and-white footage from seven races, from Argentina, Monaco, Belgium, France, Britain, Germany and ItaIy, and some truly thrilIing racing. Once again, Moss and Fangio dominate, but the Iikes 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, Ieaving the way cIear for Moss, now with VanwaIl, 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 FormuIa One World Champion. Bonus Feature: Tribute to Fangio was made in 1959 to celebrate the career of the Argentinean legend who had retired the previous year. It features archive footage from 1949 to 1958, showing some of Fangio s greatest victories and his journey to an incredibIe five WorId Championships. Most notable 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. |
