15th July 1961: The Day That Ferrari Ruled Britain

On this day in 1961, Ferrari stamped their authority on the British Grand Prix with a dominant 1-2-3 at a rain-soaked Aintree, as Wolfgang von Trips took a commanding win that would prove to be his last. In this episode of Chequered Past, we revisit that decisive race, reflect on the remarkable life and career of Prince Bira — Thailand’s trailblazing Grand Prix pioneer — and relive Emerson Fittipaldi’s composed victory at Brands Hatch in 1972 that brought him one step closer to a maiden world title. From legends lost to champions in the making, it’s a story of speed, style, and significance — all on 15th July.Send us Fan MailMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
