#HappyBirthday Vincenzo Sospiri, 60. Brilliant in karts (Michael Schumacher’s first hero) & a winner in #F3000 (’95 champion), he entered one #F1 GP, Melbourne ’97, in a truly dreadful F1 car, the Lola T97/30 (pic). 1.3sec faster in quali than team-mate Ricardo Rosset, he was 11.6sec off the pole.

#HappyBirthday Massimiliano ‘Max’ Papis, 57. He started 7 #F1 GPs, & he was a winner in #F3000, #IndyCar (CART), #IMSA & the #Daytona24Hours. Pic: his 7th & last F1 GP, Nürburgring, ’95, 12th in a Footwork-Hart FA16.
