Moments from F1 races we will never forget

Formula 1 races celebrate speed, thrill, and adrenaline to meet a new challenge. Not only are these races full of upsetting events, but they also have many unexpected twists and turns. Since the event started in 1950, there have been some of the most iconic moments worth remembering for years. While we all have our favourites, it's impossible to choose the best. Here are the five best F1 races, according to us. The 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix The 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix is, till this day, remembered as the greatest title-decider in Formula One's history. The final race came down to Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso with a difference of 13 points on a damp track. A series of crashes ensued, with racers like Vettel, Senna, and Perez at the back and Nico Hülkenberg and Lewis Hamilton at the front collapsing, giving Jenson Button his 15th and final victory. The 2011 Chinese Grand Prix The 2011 Chinese Grand Prix is one of the top fan-favourite races of all time. Lewis Hamilton gave a thrilling conclusion to the race, leaving behind the race driver, Sebastian Vettel, on his way. From the beginning, Hamilton was under pressure as the team discovered some problems with his engine. But that didn't stop Hamilton from winning the 56-lap race and becoming the first-ever multiple winner of the Chinese Grand Prix. 1971 Italian Grand Prix Wanting to experience "neck-to-neck" vibes? The 1971 Italian Grand Prix was precisely that. Chris Amon won the race by 0.42 seconds over Ferrari diver Jacky Ickx. At the time, the race also set the record for the fastest race in F1 history, at a speed of 252 km/hr until the 2003 Italian Grand Prix at Monza. The race will go down in history as the most teeth-clogging F1 race. Another point worth highlighting will be how ten other drivers recorded a lap within half a second, with Peterson maintaining the lead for over 10 laps. 1999 European Grand Prix, Nürburgring What happened at the 1999 European Grand Prix? Crashes, spins, mistakes, pit stop errors, you name it, and the 1999 European Grand Prix racers might have experienced it. The day was unexpected, to say the least. With no stable lead and an ongoing battle between Eddie Irvine for Ferrari, Mika Häkkinen for McLaren, and Heinz-Harald Frentzen for Jordan, the race left everyone glued to their seats. If you want to sum up the 1999 European Grand Prix race, pure chaos is the only way to describe it. 2011 Canadian Grand Prix The 2011 Canadian Grand Prix was everything a Formula 1 fan could ask for. The excitement of watching Jenson Button race from last to first will always be unmatchable. The race was full of speed, adrenaline, and drama as Jenson Button made his way to the top in the last 30 laps.
