About this listen

On this day in Formula One history: a title fight is turned on its head, a fearless talent is lost too soon, and a new British Grand Prix venue makes its debut.

We look back at the 1999 British Grand Prix, where Michael Schumacher’s high-speed crash at Stowe broke more than just his leg — it shattered Ferrari’s championship plan and thrust Eddie Irvine into the spotlight. We also honour Pedro Rodríguez, the brilliant and courageous Mexican driver who died on this day in 1971, and revisit the 1964 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch, where Jim Clark delivered a masterclass in the circuit’s first time hosting F1’s biggest event.
