Ever wondered if there was once a race impacted by snow in the history of Formula 1?
There's no record of a flurry wreaking havoc on a world championship Grand Prix, but the weather at the International Trophy at Silverstone in 1973 certainly through a spanner into the works for several drivers.
That year, the traditional early season non-championship event was held in very cold temperatures. Ronnie Peterson had put himself in command in the opening stages of the race and looked set for a victorious home run until an icy wind turned into flurries of snow and blew the Lotus driver off at Becketts!
Peterson eventually recovered to hold second place while Jackie Stewart's Tyrrell ran unchallenged to the checkered flag.
