Juan Manuel Fangio J Thompson at the Bank of EnglandJuan Manuel Fangio, (1950s?). In his Formula 1 career between 1950 and 1958, Fangio won a then record 24 Grands Prix, driving for Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Ferrari and won the World Drivers' Championship in 1951, 1954, 1955, 1956 and 1957, a record which remains unequalled. The most remarkable aspect of Fangio's record is that these successes came from a career which only lasted for 51 races.
