INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
On the 24th of May, three Monaco Grands Prix separated by seventeen years each asked the same question of the teams on the pit wall — and got three very different answers.
- In 1998, Mika Häkkinen and McLaren answered it perfectly, delivering a grand chelem while the field destroyed itself around them.
- In 2009, Ross Brawn's improbable championship-leading team answered it with patience and precision, running Jenson Button to a fifth win in six races.
- In 2015, Mercedes got it wrong — a single miscalculation on lap sixty-five handing Nico Rosberg a race that Lewis Hamilton had led by nineteen seconds.
Elsewhere in the episode: Jim Clark's dominant, wire-to-wire victory at the 1964 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, and a birthday tribute to Ivan Capelli — the Italian who stood on the Estoril podium in 1988, discovered he had a retroactive one from Spa he never knew about, and then led forty-five laps of the 1990 French Grand Prix before an oil warning light took it all away.
