A Life of Speed: Juan Manuel Fangio has a thoughtful presentation of Formula 1 racing in the 1940s/1950s as well as a reason that a professional racer may choose to retire in those years. It is an interesting watch to review the dangers inherent in early Formula 1 racing and the obstacles professional racers could encounter while endeavoring to travel from one country to another to compete. The film is in Spanish, some broken English, and has good English subtitles.
