Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone who loves an underdog and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Juan Manuel Fangio was the Formula One king, winning five world championships in the early 1950s — before protective gear or safety features were used.
