Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on August 17, 1952)

Happy Birthday to Nelson Piquet—the legendary champion whose driving skills and quick wit kept Formula 1 fans on the edge of their seats! From daring overtakes in Brabham machines to securing unforgettable titles in '81, '83, and '87, your career is a masterclass that keeps inspiring generations. Thankfully for other racers today—you're retired.

Nelson, you didn't just win championships; you gifted us magnificent memories—from witty post-race interviews packed with mischief to classic battles against Mansell and Prost. As timeless as your victories are the laughs you've provided along the way—here's wishing you endless sunny drives ahead!
