Juan Manuel Fangio is the only Drivers' Champion from Argentina but his five successes equals all but three other countries' cumulative driver title success. Only two other Argentine drivers have won a championship race: José Froilán González and Carlos Reutemann. 22 other Argentine drivers have driven F1 cars at race weekends, with many of them only racing once and failing to finish a single race.

Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
“Ought we to smile,
Perhaps make friends? No: in the race for seats
You’re best alone. Friendship is not worth while.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
