9th September 1979: The Triumphs That Thrilled The Tifosi
from Chequered Past · host Martin Elliot
On this day in Formula One history, Monza delivered some of its most unforgettable moments. In this episode of Chequered Past, we relive Jody Scheckter’s 1979 Italian Grand Prix victory, where Ferrari sealed both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships at home to the delight of the Tifosi. We go back to 1973, when Jackie Stewart overcame a puncture and stormed through the field to secure his third and final world title. We revisit 1990, when Ayrton Senna held off Alain Prost and Gerhard Berger in the heat of their fierce rivalry to strengthen his championship hand. And we close with 2012, when Lewis Hamilton triumphed for McLaren — but it was Sergio Pérez’s charge from 12th to second that stole the show and won over the Monza crowd.From title deciders to heroic comebacks and breakthrough performances, these are the triumphs that thrilled the Tifosi.Cover Image: By crazylenny2 - Jody Scheckter Monaco 1979 312-T4 - CC BY-SA 2.0, LinkSend us Fan MailMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
