Deadly Passions, Terrible Joys - An F1 Champion's Kidnapping Transformed Cuban History

With five World Driver Championships to his name, Juan Manuel Fangio is an icon of Formula 1 and motorsport as a whole — but in 1958, he also turned the tides of global politics. Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship had ravaged Cuba, but in 1958, the right-wing leader decided to stage a non-championship Formula 1 race to draw in the crowds. That plan was turned on its head when Fangio was kidnapped by a group of young revolutionaries — and it was that very kidnapping that helped lead to a full-on overhaul of the Cuban government.To find out more about Deadly Passions, Terrible Joys: https://linktr.ee/deadlypassionsterriblejoys Subscribe on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/deadlypassionsterriblejoysFollow Elizabeth Blackstock on Instagram: @elizablackstockFollow Elizabeth Blackstock on Twitter/X: @eliz_blackstockOrder Racing with Rich Energy: https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/racing-with-rich-energy/ Follow Grand Prix Gastronomy: https://grandprixgastronomy.substack.com/ Episode Bibliography: Fangio: The Life Behind the Legend by Gerald Donaldson Driven to Crime: True Stories of Wrongdoing in Motor Racing by Crispian Besley The International Grand Prix Book of Motor Racing by Michael Frewin https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/march-2023/7/when-fangio-was-kidnapped-in-cuba/ Learn more about your ad choices.
