A Lotus driver with two podiums and a season finale full of goodbyes both belong to 8 November.
1933: Peter Arundell is born
Peter Arundell was born in Ilford, Essex. He made his name in Formula Junior, winning the Formula Junior race at Monaco in 1961 and 1962 and the British title in 1962 and 1963.
He first appeared in F1 for Team Lotus in 1963. In 1964 he finished third at Monaco and third at the Dutch Grand Prix, and was eighth in the championship with 11 points.
His progress was halted by a heavy crash in a Formula 2 race at Reims, where he spun, was hit by Richie Ginther and thrown from his car. He missed most of 1965, returned to Lotus in 1966 and made 11 world championship starts in all.
1992: Berger wins as Senna and Mansell collide
Gerhard Berger won the 1992 Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide for McLaren-Honda, 0.741 seconds ahead of Benetton's Michael Schumacher. Martin Brundle was third in the other Benetton.
Nigel Mansell started from pole, his 14th of the season, a new record. He led until lap 19, when Ayrton Senna tried to pass at the hairpin and hit the back of the Williams, putting both out.
Riccardo Patrese then led for Williams until his engine failed on lap 51, handing the win to Berger.
The race was full of farewells. It was meant to be Mansell's last in F1 before his move to IndyCar, and it was McLaren's last with Honda engines until 2015. Berger left for Ferrari, and the March team never raced again.
Race it on Late Brake
Adelaide is not in Late Brake, but Monaco, where Arundell took his first podium, is one of the six real circuits in the free browser game. Switch to the cockpit camera there and use the braking boards to judge the hairpins.
