• Fernando Alonso's helmet at the Fangio Museum

  Thursday, October 26, was a special day, because in the run-up to the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Mexico City we exchanged helmets with Fernando Alonso, a great idol of world motorsports. His helmet is already on display in our Museum in Balcarce.

  An action that we have been planning for a few months thanks to the management of our Honorary Advisor Peter Nygaard @peternygaardf1, the constant collaboration of Rodrigo Sánchez @rsanchezp30 and the total willingness and help of Alberto Fernández, representative of Fernando Alonso, and of course Spanish driver, double @F1 World Champion.

   

  "It is a true honor for me to have a replica of the helmet that Juan Manuel used and share so many values: effort, dedication and love for the sport we practice, for cars and motorsports. Best of luck to the Fangio Foundation to continue sending the fair message to the following generations," expressed #Alonso.

   

  Thank you Fernando for your kindness and simplicity. Let's continue together bringing exemplary messages like yours and Juan Manuel Fangio's to our dear youth.
