1968: Team McLaren's First Win
#OnThisDay 9 June, at the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, Bruce McLaren, driving for the team he founded, clinched McLaren's first Formula One win. The race saw various teams experimenting with aerodynamic wings after Lotus introduced them at Monaco. While McLaren believed he had secured second place, he was unaware that Jackie Stewart, the race leader, had run out of fuel on the final lap and had to pit, handing him the win. Pedro Rodríguez finished second for the BRM team and Ferrari driver Jacky Ickx came in third.
The event also saw Brian Redman in a Cooper crashing and catching fire. He miraculously survived with a broken arm and minor burns.

@ABC Too many people don't understand that the AG is not the president's attorney but the attorney for the people. And Trump's Kool-Aid drinkers especially don't understand that. Now that he's literally wanting to put his personal attorney in the job, the people are screwed.
Please, @F1, can we not focus on KK??? Seriously, she may be a celebrity and with LH, but she's not got anything to do with F1. You've been spending less time on the WAGs and families this season. Follow that, please! 🙄
