To cross the line and take a victory is the ultimate goal of every F1 driver – but sometimes even making it to the chequered flag first is not enough to become a race winner.
This is a scenario that has happened on 11 occasions in the history of the sport, with the driver who initially claimed P1 having the result taken away post-race – an outcome that has occasionally had some dramatic ramifications.
From the infamous Suzuka clash between Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna that ultimately decided their 1989 title battle, through to Sebastian Vettel furiously swapping the parc ferme P2 and P1 boards around after a five-second penalty saw him lose out on a win to Lewis Hamilton in the 2019 Canadian Grand Prix, these incidents have led to several memorable moments over the years.
Hit go on the video player above to watch 11 times where the winner didn’t actually win.
