Jose Froilan Gonzalez, Ferrari's first F1 winner, dies aged 90
Jose Froilan Gonzalez, the first man to win a world championship Formula 1 race for Ferrari, has died at the age of 90.
After racing in his native Argentina for several years, Gonzalez followed countryman Juan Manuel Fangio to European racing in 1950.
He retired from his first two F1 starts with a private Maserati, but was recruited as works Ferrari driver for 1951.
The Pampas Bull, as Gonzalez was nicknamed, duly became Ferrari's first F1 winner as he defeated Fangio's Alfa Romeo to win the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
