Just throwing this video in here because, although before all of our times as F1 fans, Autosport have judged it as the greatest World Championship race. (Their words not mine, im just the messenger.)

Autosport refer to it as the F1's Race of the Century - Ferrari vs Maserati

With 13 lead changes and a strong battle to the end of the race between Maserati and Ferrari, the 1953 French Grand Prix was dubbed ‘The Race of the Century'.

@Michael Ferner will I am sure join me in pointing out that although they refer to it as F1's race of the century, F1 in 1953 was actually F2 in terms of what they were running, but we wont spoil their party. :wink:




A bit more footage of the race here,
