ON THIS DAY: May 14

Delve into the Speedcafe.com archives and rediscover the biggest stories over the past decade which had us talking, and have gone on to help shape our sport.

In 2012 a fire broke out in the Williams F1 Team garage shortly after Pastor Maldonado had won the Spanish Grand Prix.

Maldonado had fended off Fernando Alonso to score Williams’ first win since 2004, however the teams’ celebrations were cut short as a fire erupted inside their garage, injuring personnel and destroying equipment.

Thirty one people were treated by medical staff, with four Williams mechanics reported to be seriously injured.

Take a trip down Speedcafe.com memory lane on this day, May 14.
