On October 17, Formula One rolled the dice on drama, endurance, and emotion.
At Las Vegas in 1981, the Caesars Palace Grand Prix turned a hotel car park into a world-championship arena — where Nelson Piquet’s exhaustion, Alan Jones’s farewell victory, and Bruno Giacomelli’s lone podium delivered one of the strangest finales in F1 history.
We then celebrate the birthday of Kimi Räikkönen, tracing his journey from ice-cool prodigy to world champion — through heartbreak at McLaren, glory with Ferrari, adventures in rallying, and an unforgettable comeback with Lotus.
And in Malaysia 1999, Michael Schumacher’s selfless return set the stage for Eddie Irvine’s title challenge, David Coulthard’s cruel retirement, and Ferrari’s controversial bargeboard saga — a race that proved even perfection can be overturned by millimetres.
From casino parking lots to tropical heat, and from quiet determination to outright defiance, this episode shows how Formula One’s fortunes can twist in a single afternoon.
