Juan Manuel Fangio Statue, Formula One racing memorial in Monte Carlo, Monaco
Juan Manuel Fangio Statue depicts the Argentine driver leaning against his Mercedes-Benz W196 racing car in stone, positioned near the Rascasse curve where the Monaco Grand Prix takes place. The sculpture sits at a spot where fans can observe it while walking through the racing circuit area.
The Spanish sculptor Joaquim Ros Sabaté created this memorial in 2003 to honor the Argentine driver's four Formula One World Championships during the 1950s. Prince Albert of Monaco unveiled it at a ceremony attended by other prominent racing figures from that era.
Prince Albert of Monaco dedicated this memorial in 2003, with racing legends Emerson Fittipaldi and Niki Lauda attending the ceremony.
The memorial stands near the Formula One circuit entrance and is easy to reach on foot while exploring Monaco. Visitors should know the area becomes busier during race weekends when the Grand Prix takes place.
This memorial marks the exact location where Fangio secured notable victories during the Monaco Grand Prix races of 1950 and 1957.
