Ford v Ferrari: The Man Who Stole Ken Miles' Glory

Ford v Ferrari gives you a clear villain. The real story is more uncomfortable than that. Leo Beebe wasn't a cartoon corporate snake with a personal grudge. He was Henry Ford II's most trusted troubleshooter — a man who had never seen a race before the day Ford handed him control of their entire motorsport program. And at Le Mans 1966, he made a decision that the evidence suggests was fully informed, fully deliberate, and cost Ken Miles the Triple Crown. The race officials told him a dead heat wouldn't produce a tie. They told him Miles would lose. He proceeded anyway. This is the video Ford v Ferrari didn't have room to make.
