#HappyBirthday Johnny Herbert, 62, who won 3 #F1 GPs despite complications caused by his huge #F3000 shunt at Brands in ’88, which blunted his scintillating talent & without which he might have become F1 world champion. Yes, he was that good. Fab Silverstone ’95 podium pic by Paul-Henri Cahier.

#HappyBirthday Giorgio Pantano, 46. In 2004 he drove 14 #F1 GPs in the mediocre Jordan EJ14. He’d previously won loads of races in #F3000 & would later win in #GP2 too. He was quick &, with better cars, he could have done well in #F1. Pic: his last GP, Monza, where he DNF’d.
