Argentines lined the streets of Juan Manuel Fangio's birthplace on Wednesday to applaud as the remains of the 1950s Formula One great went on one last lap to a new resting place in the museum housing his cars.
Triple world champion Jackie Stewart joined the locals in Balcarce, some 415km south of Buenos Aires, in paying tribute to the man he still considers to be the greatest racing driver of all time.
This year is the 70th anniversary of the first of Fangio's five world championships won between 1951 and 1957 with four different constructors.
He died in 1995 aged 84, with Stewart now the last survivor of the six pallbearers -- who included Fangio's former team mate Stirling Moss and Argentine racers Carlos Reutemann and Jose Froilan Gonzalez -- at the funeral.
