#OnThisDay in 2003, in Melbourne, David Coulthard won an #F1 GP for the 13th & last time. Pic: his McLaren MP4-17D was a very pretty car, wasn’t it? #AusGP

Jenson Button - 1 championship, 15 wins, 50 podiums, 8 pole positions, 1235 points. #F1 #Formula1

#HappyBirthday Giorgio Pantano, 46. In 2004 he drove 14 #F1 GPs in the mediocre Jordan EJ14. He’d previously won loads of races in #F3000 & would later win in #GP2 too. He was quick &, with better cars, he could have done well in #F1. Pic: his last GP, Monza, where he DNF’d.

The Williams FW31 was quite a pretty little thing IMO... Especially in it's test livery, as demonstrated beautifully below by Nico Hulkenberg! #F1 #Formula1

Gerhard Berger in the 1993 Ferrari F93A. #F1 #Formula1

Interesting bit of background,from Paddy Lowe, on the Halo development - relating to Romain Grosjean accident on 2020. That an earlier incident with him, at SPA 2012, led to work on driver head protection. #RetroF1 #F1

There's a good chance. And it's been a long time coming!
