Video: Top 10 most incredible arrivals

This week, the official website of the F1 drew up in a video the ten most incredible arrivals in its history. HAS CARhebdo, we have followed suit to offer you our version, more historical and more spicy.

10. 2002 Austrian Grand Prix

As the drop of the checkered flag approached, the fans became seized with a certain anxiety. The lead of Rubens Barrichello (Ferrari) over his teammate Michael Schumacher melts at a strangely fast speed. There Team will she repeat her stunt at the A1 Ring a year earlier, where, to gain second place, the Brazilian had given up his place at the end of the last corner? The strategic maneuver offended the public present in the stands, as well as many observers. Rubens Barrichello is clearly the team's number 2, after only six events this season.

9. 1986 German Grand Prix

Fuel consumption calculations were not as accurate as they are now. Proof of this is the race held at the original Hockenheimring in 1986. On the last lap, the first four cars use their last drops of fuel; while Nelson Piquet (Williams, 1st) and Ayrton Senna (Lotus, 2nd) zigzag to avoid falling stranded, both McLaren must give up. But Alain Prost don't see it that way. The reigning world champion unfastens his harness and decides to push his mount in front of the tens of thousands of spectators stationed near the finish. The Frenchman will give up crossing the line like this, but will be classified 6th, just behind his colleague Keke Rosberg.

8. 2001 Spanish Grand Prix

What a cruel disappointment for Mika Häkkinen! In the cockpit of his McLaren, the double world champion led a peaceful race in Barcelona (Spain). However, at the start of the 65th and final loop, the engine Mercedes died after a hydraulic leak. Parts are thrown out of the car, before flames escaped from the flat bottom. 40 seconds behind, Michael Schumacher recovered the laurels in the final curves. The Nordic driver will be brought back to his stand by his partner David Coulthard.

7. 1986 Spanish Grand Prix

On a tortuous circuit like Jérez de la Frontera, overtaking is rare. Aboard his turbocharged single-seater, Ayrton Senna (Lotus) protects his leading position as best he can against Nigel Mansell (Williams) who is up like a clock on new tires. The latter grips the track better when reaccelerating, but fails slightly on the line. The gap is still one of the smallest in F1 to this day: 14 thousandths of a second.

6. 2005 San Marino Grand Prix

Not the slightest overtaking this time, but a duel at the top between Fernando Alonso (Renault) and Michael Schumacher (Ferrari). In front of a public entirely committed to his cause, the Red Baron will try during the last twelve laps to overcome the blue and yellow car. The fight is correct, the two men respect each other and do not push each other beyond the limits of the track. The German turns on the tires when braking, but the Spaniard climbs generously on the curbs and preserves his advantage, to the joy of Flavio Briatore.

5. 2005 Japanese Grand Prix

A dazzling comeback, a circuit renowned for being one of the most selective in the world, a daring overtake; what more ? Victim of violent rain during testing, Kimi Räikkönen (McLaren) must start from 17th place on Sunday. The Finn is on another planet, and manages to steal control of the event from Giancarlo Fisichella (Renault), from the outside at the start of the first turn on the last lap! A maneuver carried out without DRS…

4. 1971 Italian Grand Prix

With five drivers classified in less than a second, the Italian round of the 1971 calendar was very strong. This unprecedented outcome was made possible by the effects of aspiration. In the lead at the Lesmo curve, François Cevert (Tyrell) was beaten by Peter Gethin (BRM) and Ronnie Peterson (March) at the last braking stage. With an average speed of 242,615 km/h, the 1971 Italian GP became the fastest race in F1 history; it was not until the 2003 edition that the record fell.

3. 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix

Impossible to ignore the hair-raising final in Sao Paulo in 2008. Not so much for the victory of Felipe Massa (Ferrari), the Brazilian having dominated the debates, but rather for the turnaround for the outcome of the championship. Virtually titled for thirty seconds, the public star learns that he is dispossessed of his property by Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) in the last corner of the last lap. The Briton overtook the Toyota in distress by Timo Glock, shod with slick tires. A moment of pure madness, where even the French television commentators did not understand the situation, unlike other radio journalists.

2. 1982 Monaco Grand Prix

Where to start ? In the lead for 59 laps, Alain Prost (McLaren) gave up after an accident two laps from the end. Riccardo Patrese (Brabham) takes 1st place, but he spins. Didier Pironi's Ferrari doesn't ask for much and succeeds him, except that his fuel tank runs dry. Andrea de Cesaris (Alfa Romeo) should have gone ahead, but he is also lacking fuel! Derek Daly does not have the opportunity to enjoy his 1st place, and also hits the rail. Meanwhile, Riccardo Patrese, put back on track by the commissioners, crossed the finish line as the winner. Did you follow?

1. 2011 Canadian Grand Prix

The longest race since 1950 (four hours and four minutes!) is something of a roller coaster for winner Jenson Button (McLaren). Starting 7th, the 2009 world champion will clash with his teammate Lewis Hamilton then Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), suffer a puncture, receive a pit stop penalty for excessive speed under a safety car, and finally come back from the last place. Came back like a rocket on Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) in the last kilometers, he pushes the German to leave the drying trajectory. When sliding, he can only let his opponent pass in the last lap.
