On this day in 1968, Jackie Stewart delivered one of the most commanding wet-weather performances in Formula One history. At a rain-soaked Zandvoort, Stewart returned from injury and reminded the world of his brilliance, taming the treacherous Dutch circuit to secure Matra’s first Grand Prix victory. In The Calm That Conquered the Chaos, we revisit his masterclass in control, composure, and courage.
We also look at Formula One’s intertwined history with Le Mans, focusing on F1 alumni who found glory at La Sarthe — including Mazda’s 1991 win with Johnny Herbert and Bertrand Gachot at the wheel and Robert Kubica’s emotional triumph in 2025.
Finally, we shift to the mean streets of Detroit for the 1985 Grand Prix, where Keke Rosberg fought the concrete and chaos to earn a hard-fought win in a race of high attrition.
