11th November 2018: The Collision That Tested Temperament
From São Paulo to Paris, November 11th has always challenged the balance between passion and control.
In today’s episode, we revisit the 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix — the day Lewis Hamilton sealed another title for Mercedes as Max Verstappen’s fury boiled over after a clash with Esteban Ocon. We celebrate the birthday of Vittorio Brambilla, the exuberant “Monza Gorilla” who won his only Grand Prix with both hands in the air and a spin into the barriers. And we look back to 1997, when the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council made a landmark ruling that erased Michael Schumacher from the championship standings after his infamous collision with Jacques Villeneuve.
Together, these stories reveal how fine the line can be between instinct and integrity — and how the greatest racers are often defined not just by their victories, but by how they handle the heat of controversy.
