On this day in motorsport history, we revisit a performance for the ages as Lewis Hamilton conquered the chaos of Silverstone in 2008 with one of Formula One’s greatest wet-weather drives. We also honour the memory of Luigi Musso, the talented Ferrari driver whose life was tragically cut short at Reims in 1958. Finally, we take a trip to the breathtaking Charade circuit for the 1969 French Grand Prix, where Jackie Stewart and the innovative Matra MS80 delivered a dominant home victory and showcased the growing power of aerodynamic design in F1.

From rain-soaked heroics to pioneering engineering, this episode charts the turning points that shaped champions, challenged technology—and left a lasting mark on Formula One.
