Description

On this day in 1989, Formula 1 braved one of the wettest and most controversial races in its history.

The Australian Grand Prix at Adelaide turned from a celebration into survival — Prost walked away, Senna raged through the spray, and chaos reigned on a circuit that should perhaps never have gone green.

Thirty-four years later, the sport still thrived on tension and theatre. In 2023, São Paulo produced a modern classic — Verstappen unstoppable, Norris chasing his elusive first win, and Alonso and Pérez locked in a duel for the ages.

And on this very date in 2022, the neon lights of the Strip flickered to the roar of F1 engines as Las Vegas threw a party to announce its spectacular return.

From danger to drama, from Adelaide’s storm to Vegas’s showtime, it was a day that captured everything Formula 1 has become — daring, divisive, and dazzling.
