'Hyvää syntymäpäivää' to the original flying Finn!

Today we wish a happy 75th birthday to 1982 F1 world champion Keijo Erick Rosberg.

A brave among the brave, blindingly fast, Keke first rose to prominence in F1 by winning the non-championship 1978 BRDC International Trophy at Silverstone in just his second race with the minnow Theodore Racing outfit!

Rosberg collected the first of his five Grand Prix wins in Dijon in 1982, his title-winning year with Williams.

His other claim to fame is obviously being the father of 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg.

It's all in the genes...
