2025 will be the year that Formula 1’s most successful ever driver and team will be united: Lewis Hamilton will race in Ferrari red. The much anticipated move shines a light on the fact that no British driver has competed full time with the Scuderia for over 30 years. Back in racing’s ‘golden age’ though Enzo Ferrari and his team utilised the talents of British racers frequently, with numerous world championships their reward.

Twenty six years ago, on May 28, 1972, a driver with a degree in mechanical engineering from Brown University won the Indianapolis 500. His name was Mark Donohue. It was a time of change, a time when technology was transforming the American racing scene, often with Donohue himself in the vanguard.

Younger readers may possibly regard the Mexican Grand Prix as a new-ish thing, since, prior to its recommencement in 2015, it had not been a part of the Formula 1 world championship for a generation. But last Sunday’s race, won faultlessly for Ferrari by Carlos Sainz, was the 24th world championship-status F1 Mexican Grand Prix, and, apart from a flurry of five (1988-1992) that were run in early summer, all of them have taken place at this time of year.

Which is the best circuit ever to have staged a world championship-status Formula 1 grand prix? Zeltweg. And the worst? Zeltweg, too. Confused? OK, let me explain. There have been 37 world championship-status F1 Austrian Grands Prix, all of them held at Zeltweg, near Spielberg.

By the end of 1973 Mark Donohue had achieved most of his goals in motor racing. Since 1967 he had worked for Roger Penske, the pair of them synonymous almost in the way of Colin Chapman and Jimmy Clark.

Back in the days of the Long Beach Grand Prix it was our invariable practice, the night before the race, to go out to Ascot Park for a fix of USAC sprint car racing. DSJ, for one, was a complete devotee. Ascot, sadly long since torn down to make way for just another shopping mall, was one of the theatres of battle for a form of racing whose fundamentals have never really changed at all.

Given that Red Bull has won 86% of all grands prix since the last major regulation changes in 2022, the omens aren’t good.
