On this day in Formula One history, the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix delivered one of the most explosive nights the sport has ever seen. In a season already defined by needle, Jeddah pushed Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen’s rivalry beyond its limits — from red flags and restarts to off-track negotiations and the infamous collision that left the title fight balanced on a knife edge.
In today’s episode, we revisit that extraordinary evening and the moment the championship truly erupted.
We then step back half a century to tell the story of Peter Gethin — a quietly formidable racer whose greatest moment produced the closest finish in Formula One history.
And we close with Honda’s shock decision to withdraw from Formula One on this day in 2008, a move that inadvertently set the foundations for Brawn GP’s fairytale title and reshaped the modern era of the sport.
All that and more, as we explore the moments, decisions and personalities that shaped racing’s rich and chequered past.
