On 21 March, Formula One delivered drama both on and off the track.

In 1982, the Brazilian Grand Prix at Jacarepaguá appeared to give Nelson Piquet a famous home victory — only for disqualification after the race to overturn the result and hand the win to Alain Prost. It was a moment that exposed the growing tensions between teams, regulations, and the limits of technical interpretation.

We also celebrate the life and legacy of Ayrton Senna, born on this day in 1960 — a driver whose relentless pursuit of perfection helped define an era of Formula One.

And in 2004, Michael Schumacher took victory at the Malaysian Grand Prix, but not without pressure from Juan Pablo Montoya, in a race that hinted at a more competitive season behind Ferrari’s early dominance.

From controversy to legacy to competition, this is a story of how results can change — but greatness endures.
