On this day in 2014, Formula 1 was forever changed at Suzuka. Jules Bianchi’s tragic accident in the Japanese Grand Prix would lead to sweeping safety reforms — from the Virtual Safety Car to the Halo — saving countless lives in the years since.
We reflect on that defining day and remember Andrea de Cesaris, who died on October 5 2014. Plus, we celebrate the birthdays of José Froilán González, Michael Andretti and Kevin Magnussen, and revisit Jochen Rindt’s breakthrough victory at the 1969 United States Grand Prix.
