🐐 You could watch an absolute clinic by the Greatest Of All Time Juan Manuel Fangio, comfortably clinching his 20th win from pole position, leading every lap and setting the fastest lap in his Ferrari D50, OR: You could have a little nap 😴 [📸 #GermanGP, #OnThisDay in 1956]

Fail Big: the #HungarianGP got underway #OnThisDay in 1990, after this familiar Friday sight that left Life driver Bruno Giacomelli with his eighth straight DNPQ. 😮‍💨 The L190 managed a handful of laps before failing, and was TWENTY seconds slower than the next car. 🫣

🏆 A single bright spot in a DNF-strewn year, Jean-Pierre Jabouille won the #F1 #AustrianGP #OnThisDay forty five years ago, seizing his Renault RE20's turbo advantage in the high altitude Styrian mountains and just fending off Williams' Alan Jones on well-worn tyres. 😰

🙌 The rain-shortened #F1 #AustrianGP ended #OnThisDay fifty years ago with winner Vittorio Brambilla crashing on his victory lap! 💥🫣 Far from a fluke, Brambilla simply out-drove the field; he ran third to Niki Lauda and James Hunt until both made errors in awful weather. 🌧️

After a violent warm-up crash at the 1975 #F1 #AustrianGP that seriously injured Mark Donohue and several trackside workers, tragic news came #OnThisDay fifty years ago - marshal Manfred Schaller and Daytona and #Indy500 winner Donohue had both succumbed to their injuries. 😔

Ten years on from his tragic loss, we remember the witty, humble and quietly steely Justin Wilson. ❤️‍🩹 #BadAss

Ever get the feeling you're being watched? 👀 [📸 Andrea de Cesaris' BMS Scuderia Italia Dallara F190 being recovered by marshals during the SECOND 🫣 red flag stoppage at the start of the #F1 #BelgianGP, #OnThisDay in 1990]

Move of the decade? 🔀 #OnThisDay 25 years ago at the #F1 #BelgianGP, Mika Häkkinen seized a double slipstream from Michael Michael Schumacher and Ricardo Zonta on the Kemmel Straight, diving inside Zonta as Schumacher went outside - and passed both into Les Combes! 😱 Fantastic!
