The Firsts That Launched Legends tracks an August 14 packed with career-making and era-defining firsts. 

At the 1977 Austrian GP, Alan Jones takes his maiden victory — and Shadow’s only win. We pause to remember Enzo Ferrari, whose team’s firsts shaped grand prix history. At Boavista 1960, John Surtees claims his first pole and fastest lap, Jim Clark earns his first podium, and Jack Brabham clinches the title. We close at Hungary 1994, where Jos Verstappen bags the Netherlands’ first F1 podium behind Schumacher and Hill. 

A day when beginnings became legends.
