27th July 1997: The Return That Stole The Show

from Chequered Past · host Martin Elliot

On this day in Formula 1 history, Gerhard Berger made a stunning return to the grid at the 1997 German Grand Prix — and stole the spotlight with a storybook win at Hockenheim. We revisit that emotional victory, reflect on the career of journeyman French racer Philippe Alliot, and relive the chaos and controversy of the 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix, where Daniel Ricciardo came charging through in a race defined by drama, strategy, and inter-team fireworks. Cover Art uses work by Royal Broil and licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0Send us Fan MailMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
