On this day in F1
The Zolder circuit in Belgium held its final Grand Prix today in 1984.
Michele Alboreto set the first pole position of his career and drove to victory for Ferrari, with Derek Warwick second for Renault.
Rene Arnoux took third in the other Ferrari.
Keke Rosberg rose through the field from 20th at the start to run third, only to slip to fourth when he ran out of fuel on the penultimate lap.
Here's edited footage from the race showing Rosberg's progress:
