Maserati 250F 1957 German GP Juan Manuel Fangio in 1:18 scale
This is the Maserati 250F 1957 German GP Juan Manuel Fangio in 1:18 scale by Amalgam.
At the 1957 German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring, Juan Manuel Fangio delivered what is often hailed as the greatest drive in Formula 1 history in the Maserati 250F. Starting on pole, Fangio employed a daring two-stop strategy, but a slow pit stop left him nearly a minute behind the leading Ferraris of Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins. In an astonishing display of skill, Fangio shattered lap records lap after lap—ultimately setting a time over 8 seconds faster than the previous best—before overtaking both Ferraris to secure victory. This masterclass not only sealed his fifth World Championship but also cemented his reputation as one of the greatest drivers of all time.
