Happy Birthday, F1!
« on: May 13, 2017, 01:34:41 PM »
67 years ago today, 13 May, 1950, the very first Formula 1 race was held at Silverstone. Giuseppe Farina won in an Alfa Romeo 158. 11 of the 22 starters failed to finish.

Happy birthday, F1!

The very first event held at Silverstone in 1948 as depicted in the print I proudly won in the Grid Game.
