Lot details
In 1957, the phenomenal Maserati 250 F carried the equally incredible Juan Manuel Fangio to what many consider to be one of the greatest victories in racing history. The German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring ended up being the pinnacle of Fangio's legendary career, where he showed the world what he was really capable of. Even after a disastrous pit stop, he was able to string together a succession of 10 awe-inspiring laps in the 250 F - breaking the lap record a total of 9 times - and overtaking both Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn to take first place. With regard to the race, Fangio himself said: "I have never driven that quickly before in my life and I don't think I will ever be able to do it again".
Limited-edition poster with hologram confirming authenticity, this being a particularly special example, with hand-signed autograph cut into the custom layered mount. Framed and glazed to a high standard. 70x50cm
