#OnThisDay in ’73 Fittipaldi (pic; taken by Schlegelmilch) won the #SpanishGP at beautiful Montjuïc, having stormed through the field from P7 at the start. But, had his Lotus team-mate Peterson not had a gearbox failure on lap 57, it would have been a Lotus 1-2, Peterson ahead.

#OnThisDay in ’71 Jackie Stewart won the #SpanishGP, at mighty Montjuïc, the Tyrrell team’s first #F1 GP win in a car entirely of its own manufacture (the Tyrrell 003). #AnorakFact: the race was the first F1 GP in which slick tyres were used.

I’m not sure there’s anything that can provide total relief from some of my lower moods, or my general anxiety about the world and life.
But the drive to Brands Hatch on a blue skied sunny morning, with Springsteen blaring out the radio helps. A highlight of any regular week.

The story of the size, shape & configuration of wings has been an #F1 odyssey for a generation - & here’s an example of one of its most lurid chapters. #OnThisDay in ’69 Jackie Stewart raced this Matra MS10 to #SouthAfricanGP victory. High wings were banned a couple of GPs later.

Can it really be 50 years since local hero Jody Scheckter (Tyrrell) won the #SouthAfricanGP, just 3.74sec ahead of Carlos Reutemann (Brabham)? Yes, it happened #OnThisDay in ’75. Pic: pretty car, Scheckter’s Derek Gardner-designed Tyrrell 007.
