Well that wasn't what I was expecting after the mumsnet thread...
Yep not the Fangio I was expecting
Th Fangio is presumably the car, I don't think it escaped, or was lucky 😛

The Fangio is Juan Fangio I think, makes F1 today seem like a Sunday pootle..
Edit, yep..
The Fangio was presumably the guy lying on the tarmac... He is wearing a helmet... Was he [i]in[/i] that a second earlier... 😯
Getting thrown from the car was probably considered a safety feature back then! Great pic 🙂
Who was sat in the chair??
yep - seen that happen at vscc races too.
That's not Fangio. That's Hans Hermann.
They aren't actually helmets, more a bit of leather tied to your head,
And no seatbelts, and a lot of em smerked a tab while refuelling as well
[s]Different breed[/s] total nutjobs..
That's not Fangio. That's Hans Hermann.
...but Another Lucky Escape For A Hermann doesn't work as a joke.
Woody I s**t you not it was truly considered a safety feature that's why seatbelts were resisted, preferred getting thrown out to crushed or burned to death!
Does the Fangio line allude to another thread then?
It was a very different era - here's the great man wearing his fireproof racing suit!
