Michael Schumacher made history on this day in 2004 at the Japanese Grand Prix, although it was a minor achievement that he owed to typhoon 'Ma-on' rather than to his outstanding skills.
The massive storm had released buckets of water over Suzuka on Saturday, forcing organizers to cancel the entire day of running.
Qualifying was therefore held on Sunday morning under clear blue skies, with Schumacher clinching pole and thus leading the field off the grid a few hours later.
It was a simple effort for the great German who led home brother Ralf in a Williams and BAR's Jenson Button, Schumacher conquering his 83rd career win in Formula 1 en route to his seventh and final world title.
It was therefore the first time in F1 history that a driver had taken pole and a victory on the same day.
