On May 4th in 1928, German Formula One driver Wolfgang von Trips was born.
Driving a Ferrari, the 33-year-old was in contention for the 1961 world championship when he crashed fatally on the first lap at Monza.
The shunt also killed fourteen spectators.

And, on 4 May 1980, French driver Didier Pironi won his first of three F1 races, at Zolder (Belgium), in a Ligier.
The former Le Mans winner retired in 1982 after a severe crash in Germany, but was killed power boat racing (1987).
