what was even funnier was when he stalled on the grid at suzuka 98.
the look on motezemolo's and the toads faces was priceless

Suprised the last 3 laps of Monaco 1982 haven't been mentioed. Prost led and crashed, patrese took the lead and spun, pironi took the lead then ran out of fuel, de cesiris lead and retired, patrese re-took the lead and won, all in the last 3 laps.

Not a racing moment, but Alan Jones responding to Mark Thatcher's question 'Were tyres inportant in the race' after winning the 1981 Cesars Palace GP. His reply was 'Yes, they kept the wheels from hitting the ground.'

Let's see, we have DC hitting the pit wall, Australia '95, and spinning on the formation lap, Italy '95. (Didn't he also do something similar on the warm-up laps at Europe '95???).

Then of course the L'Oreal advert with Michael Schumacher (UK version) where his voice was dubbed over.

Alex Wurz crashing in the tunnel at Monaco '98. Especially the fact that he tries to steer the car even though there are no front wheels on his car. "No use turning that, my friend, there's nothing connected to it" - Martin Brundle

Schumacher/DC incident in Belgium '98 when Murray Walker screams "OH GOD!!".

Alain Prost stalling the engine whilst taking a penalty at Monaco '93.

You forgot Derek Daly leading and then spinning out and removing his rear wing.

James Hunt (I paraphrase) "Well this is an amazing event, here we are waiting for a winner".

"Well we've got this ridiculous situation where we're all sitting about at the start/finish line, waiting for a winner to come past....but we don't seem to be getting one!"

That's the one. Thanks Kex.
