Juan Manuel Fangio
On May 20, 2003, just days before the Monaco Grand Prix, Prof. Jürgen Hubbert – member of the DaimlerChrysler Board of Management – unveiled a life-size bronze statue of Juan Manuel Fangio. The statue depicts the 5-time Formula One World Champion from the 1950s standing next to his Mercedes-Benz W 196 Grand Prix racer. The sculpture – to be set up after the famous Rascasse bend at the pit-lane entrance – is a memorial to the legendary motor-racing idol.*
