It's May the fifth, and Chequered Past returns to three Formula One races separated by four decades. 

In 1985, Elio de Angelis became the winner of the San Marino Grand Prix without leading a single lap — after Ayrton Senna ran out of fuel and Alain Prost's McLaren was disqualified at scrutineering for being underweight. 

Eleven years later, Damon Hill came to Imola and beat poleman Schumacher to the victory, extending his title lead with clinical authority. 

And in 2024, with a Safety Car, a damaged Verstappen, and one extraordinary restart, Lando Norris finally won his first Formula One Grand Prix at the Miami International Autodrome.
