Monaco Grand Prix today! Monte Carlo is abuzz with excitement.
Today, another sculpture - this time of the late, great Juan Manuel Fangio. It stands on the corner of the Port of Monaco, not far from the Start/Finish line. Created by Joaquim Ros Sabate it was inaugurated by H.S.H. Prince Albert in 2003. It depicts Fangio after he won the Grand Prix of Monaco in 1955 in a Mercedes Benz.
Stop press: Crazy race - rain, shine, crashes... --- and Hamilton WON! Rah! rah! rah! Go Lewis!
(Internet & phone still down. Hopefully up by Wednesday. Am posting from a cyber cafe - very sorry but can't comment for the moment but thank you so much for your comments. Will catch up as soon as poss).

Juan Fangio--I remember the name...
How I would love to be where you are. MB
I was surprised that it was raining in Monaco. I thought the principality had all year round sunshine.
Some people still ention Fangio here :)
Apparently your favorite won :)
Very cool sculpture, though I must admit not knowing his name. Perhaps I should get out more ...
Ah, Fangio! "Louis" enjoyed reading about him in Car and Driver and Road and Track in his younger years! Thanks for bringing back good memories!
I like very much what you did with that picture.
I knew the name ,but had never seen the real Fangio!!
