I think that article about Brabham by Gerald Donaldson gives quite a few clues. The press and the media weren't around to anything like the same extent, but Sir Jack always came across as rather dour and taciturn.
So far as the video is concerned, Fangio had it made because it was like winding the clock back 23 years to when he raced that car. Almost uncanny. Charisma and nostalgia everywhere.
