On this day in motorsport history, we spotlight three unforgettable moments that span half a century of Formula One evolution.
We begin in 1954 with the triumphant return of Mercedes-Benz at Reims, where the revolutionary W196 made its debut and Juan Manuel Fangio delivered a performance for the ages.
We then celebrate the birthday of René Arnoux, the fiercely passionate Frenchman known for his relentless racing spirit and iconic wheel-to-wheel duels.
Finally, we head to Magny-Cours in 2004, where Michael Schumacher and Ferrari stunned the paddock with a bold four-stop strategy that turned the French Grand Prix on its head.
From domination to drama to daring strategy, this episode shows how July 4 has shaped the story of Formula One.
