I think you’ll find it was a lift not braking (which in an F1 car almost amounts to the same thing) that caught the German out.

Oh boy – that one is vintage stuff! I laughed my *** off, even though I was rooting for Piquet.

I have vague recollections of being a kid watching Murray and James lay into Andrea De Cesaris for getting in the way and crashing a lot…I quote from San Marino 1990;
“To say De Cesaris is incident prone is a mastery of understatement!”

I have a hazy memory from 1991 (?) of ADC weaving crazily down the straight to prevent someone passing him. I am yet to find this on the internet but Id love to see it again.

Didn’t Gouillard get a ticket on his way to Silverstone one year…or was he just late?

Ah, the days when drivers used to do more than just throw their helmets on the ground and say “aw, shucks”.

Maybe that’s why they changed the rules so the drivers have to put the steering wheel back in the car within x seconds. It gives them time to think before they make asses of themselves on live tv.

Keith SURELY De Cesaris and Caffi must be on the list! The man was driving a Dallara and would have taken a podium!!!

What about Enrique Bernoldi, who held up DC for 35 laps at the Monaco Grand Prix a few years ago?
