Michael Schumacher’s Canadian victories
The 1997 Canadian Grand Prix brought Michael Schumacher a victory during his second season with Ferrari. Eddie Irvine retired from the same race.
Six years later, Michael Schumacher won again in Montreal on 15 June. Rubens Barrichello finished fifth in the 2003 edition, adding points to Ferrari’s result during a closely contested championship season.
The two wins belong to different stages of the Ferrari partnership: the first came before its championship breakthrough, while the second contributed to a campaign that ended with another title double.
Remembering José Froilán González
José Froilán González’s victory at Silverstone in 1951 gave Ferrari its first World Championship Grand Prix success. That achievement ensured his lasting place in the team’s history, alongside his subsequent results for the Scuderia.
His death on 15 June 2013 is recorded here as a remembrance anniversary. The first-win anniversary itself falls on 14 July.
Earlier Ferrari history on this date
Mike Hawthorn finished second in the 1958 Belgian Grand Prix on 15 June. The result adds another championship-era Ferrari driver to the date’s record, extending its history beyond Montreal.
