from Chequered Past · host Martin Elliot
In this episode of Chequered Past, we take a deep dive into one of the most unpredictable Formula One races of the late 1990s—the 1999 French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours. Torrential rain turned the event into a strategic minefield, and in the chaos, Jordan’s Heinz-Harald Frentzen rose to the occasion to claim a surprise and stylish victory.We also celebrate the birthday of 2016 World Champion Nico Rosberg, reflecting on the legacy of a driver who stepped out of his famous father's shadow to forge his own path—and walked away at the top.Finally, we wind the clock back to 1965 and pay tribute to Jim Clark's masterclass at Clermont-Ferrand, where he delivered one of the most dominant performances of his career in the French Grand Prix.From rain-soaked upsets to calculated brilliance, join us as we revisit the moments that made June 27 a date to remember in Formula One history.Send us Fan MailMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
