In this installment we take a look at the famed kidnapping of Juan Manuel Fangio. A five-time Formula One World Champion by 1958, the Argentine Grand Prix driver arrived at the burgeoning Cuban Grand Prix looking to repeat his previous year’s victory. Fate, however, would have other plans as Fidel Castro and his revolutionary 26th of July movement sought to publicly embarrass Cuba’s President, Fulgencio Batista, by kidnapping the event’s biggest star. In this episode, we examine the kidnapping itself, including interviews with some of the people who were there.
