Juan Manuel Fangio Statue, Formula One racing memorial in Monte Carlo, Monaco

Spanish sculptor Joaquim Ros Sabaté created this monument to commemorate the Argentine driver who won five Formula One World Championships in the 1950s.

Prince Albert of Monaco dedicated this memorial in 2003, with racing legends Emerson Fittipaldi and Niki Lauda attending the ceremony.

The statue stands at a central location near the Monaco Grand Prix circuit entrance, making it accessible for visitors exploring the principality.
