13th September 2020: The One-offs That Left Their Mark
On this day in Formula One history, September 13th brought us moments that could never be repeated — but which left a lasting impact on the sport.
In this episode of Chequered Past, we relive the chaos of the one-off Tuscan Grand Prix at Mugello in 2020, celebrate the fearless flair of birthday boy and one-time F1 podium finisher Kamui Kobayashi, revisit the unprecedented Spygate scandal that rocked McLaren in 2007, and remember Rubens Barrichello’s final — and Brazil’s last — F1 victory at Monza in 2009 during Brawn GP's single season.
These were the one-offs that left their mark, shaping the stories, scandals, and celebrations of Formula One.
