Featured Race
Mexico 1964
A dramatic conclusion to the 1964 championship was only decided on the final lap as luck robbed Jim Clark of the title. Any one of Clark, John Surtees or Graham Hill could have become champion, and although Clark was leading it was Hill who was favourite when he moved in to the third position he required. On lap 31, however, a collision with Lorenzo Bandini forced him to pit and put him out of contention. That left Clark set for the title until his Lotus started losing oil with seven laps to go, finally seizing on the very last lap. Bandini then moved over to promote his Ferrari team-mate Surtees to the second place he needed to become world champion.

Featured Driver
Riccardo Patrese
Although Patrese was one of the most popular personalities in Formula One in the latter stages of his career, in his youth he was grand prix racing's "enfant terrible". At the beginning he was quick but unruly and, although he led the South African Grand Prix in 1978 in the new Arrows team's second race, success eluded him until he joined Brabham in 1982, when he won the Monaco Grand Prix. In the mid-1980s his career went into a downward spiral, with Alfa Romeo and then Brabham, only for him to be given a chance to revitalize it with Williams in 1988. Wins followed until 1992 when he was pushed into the shadows by Nigel Mansell and, after a season at Benetton when he could not match Michael Schumacher's pace, Formula One left him behind.
