Argentine legend to be exhumed for test

An Argentine judge has ordered the remains of 1950s Formula One champion driver Juan Manuel Fangio to be exhumed for a paternity test. Fangio was one of Formula One's earliest champions and is a legend of the racing world. He won championships in 1951, 1954, 1955, 1956 and 1957.
