Remembering talented #F1 & #IndyCar driver Justin Wilson, born #OnThisDay in ’78. He was a fine racer - &, which is more, a truly lovely guy, much missed still by family, friends & fans.

#OnThisDay in ’93, at Hockenheim, Alain Prost (pic) won an #F1 GP for the 51st & last time. Prost’s Williams team-mate Damon Hill had led for most of the race, only to be denied his first F1 GP win by tyre failure on the penultimate lap.

Remembering Reg Parnell, born #OnThisDay in 1911. He drove 6 GPs, best result 3rd in the first ever championship #F1 GP, Silverstone ’50. Underrated IMHO, he won several non-championship F1 races & was a sports car ace. Pic: Maserati 4CL, pre-championship F1 race, Zandvoort, ’48.

1972: Helmut Marko's Accident #OnThisDay 2 July, Jackie Stewart won the 1972 French Grand Prix, finishing ahead of Emerson Fittipaldi and Chris Amon. However, the race is remembered for the freak accident that ended the F1 career of Helmut Marko. #f1 #formula1

The #F1 #FrenchGP has been run #OnThisDay 7 times, in ’50, ’61, ’67, ’72, ’78, ’95 & 2000. The ’78 race is rarely hailed as a classic, but it should be, for Hunt’s 3rd place was truly heroic.

The punishing 1978 French GP: James Hunt's greatest race?
1978 was heavy going for both James Hunt and McLaren – but at that year's French GP, the British hero delivered a scintillating drive for his final career podium

The #F1 #FrenchGP has been run #OnThisDay 6 times, & the best of them was the ’79 race, won by Jean-Pierre Jabouille (pic) but starring Jabouille’s Renault team-mate René Arnoux & Ferrari’s Gilles Villeneuve, whose epic battle for 2nd place has since become F1 folklore.

Jean Lucas, born #OnThisDay in 1917, was the manager of the Gordini #F1 team. A sometime driver in lesser categories, he stepped up & raced in one F1 GP, at Monza in ’55 (pic), because the team’s regular driver Robert Manzon was indisposed; Lucas qualified in P22 & DNF’d on lap 8.

#HappyBirthday Giorgio Pantano, 46. In 2004 he drove 14 #F1 GPs in the mediocre Jordan EJ14. He’d previously won loads of races in #F3000 & would later win in #GP2 too. He was quick &, with better cars, he could have done well in #F1. Pic: his last GP, Monza, where he DNF’d.
