7 July in Ferrari history: Jacky Ickx’s first Formula 1 victory
7 July marks Jacky Ickx’s first Formula 1 victory, achieved for Ferrari at the 1968 French Grand Prix. The date also includes a British Grand Prix one-two for Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello in 2002.
1968: Jacky Ickx wins at Rouen
Jacky Ickx completed the French Grand Prix ahead of John Surtees and Jackie Stewart. The race took place at Rouen-les-Essarts, one of the historic venues that hosted the French event.
The winning margin over John Surtees was 118.600 seconds, with Jackie Stewart a lap behind. Chris Amon finished tenth in the other Ferrari.
The result established Jacky Ickx as a Grand Prix winner, although the event is also remembered for the fatal accident of Jo Schlesser. That tragedy remains an essential part of the race’s history.
2002: Ferrari finishes first and second at Silverstone
On 7 July 2002, Michael Schumacher won the British Grand Prix ahead of Rubens Barrichello. Juan Pablo Montoya completed the podium for Williams.
The Ferrari drivers finished 14.578 seconds apart, adding another one-two to the team’s 2002 campaign. Explore the winner’s season-by-season achievements in our Michael Schumacher Formula 1 records.
