Juan Manuel Fangio
" We used a very expensive resin lubricant in the Maserati. I visited owner of the Lubra factory in Milan, and told him I wanted his oil. He said if I'd wear a Lubra label on my helmet, he'd give me oil and pay me 150,000 lira. "

Juan Manuel Fangio
" When I first came out of Argentina to Europe, the flight took 36 hours. Now it takes 12 hours, and the world is still shrinking. "
