Formula 1 History on the History Channel

On Tuesday night The History Channel had an interesting program, an episode of Man, Moment, Machine, that centered on some Formula 1 racing history. It was about Enzo Ferrari, his work to beat Alfa Romeo, and the development of the Ferrari 375. It was wonderful to see something like that on the History Channel. Usually when racing history is covered on such a program, it is about NASCAR history. I was also pleased that the program covered the strategy of racing, pointing out that the fuel economy of Ferrari's car was part of the plan to beat Alfa, not just the outright performance of the car.

Kudos to the History Channel. It's not often you hear names like Fangio and Ascari on prime time television!
