On 18 October, Formula 1 crowned one of its most unlikely champions. At Interlagos in 2009, Jenson Button charged from 14th to fifth to seal a fairytale title for Brawn GP — a team born from Honda’s ashes less than a year before.

We also remember Ludovico Scarfiotti, the last Italian to win Ferrari’s home Grand Prix, whose life combined courage, refinement, and tragedy; celebrate Pascal Wehrlein’s fleeting but fascinating F1 journey from DTM prodigy to Formula E front-runner; and revisit the dramatic, two-part 1987 Mexican Grand Prix — where Nigel Mansell mastered the altitude, the stopwatch, and his own teammate.

From underdog glory to forgotten heroes, this is racing history written in resilience and red flags.
