ON THIS DAY: March 24

As the motorsport world pauses amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, delve into the Speedcafe.com archives and rediscover the biggest stories over the past decade.

These are some of the stories which had us talking, and have gone on to help shape our sport.

Today it notably the anniversary of the now infamous ‘Multi 21’ incident, when Sebastian Vettel defied Red Bull team orders and passed Mark Webber to win the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix.

It was a move that set the tone for the season, and turned the already cool relationship between the two drivers icy cold.

For Webber, it would be his final year in Formula 1 and, for Vettel, his fourth consecutive Formula 1 title.

Take a trip down Speedcafe.com memory lane on this day, March 24.
