The stunning scenes at Bathurst on Sunday afternoon, when on the 161st and final lap of the 1000-kilometre race Anton De Pasquale ran out of fuel while leading in his Camaro, had us thinking: Has a similar thing happened in modern F1?

The legendary Ayrton Senna ran out of fuel in his McLaren while running second to Nigel Mansell at the 1991 British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Staggeringly, Senna still finished fourth – before Mansell, on his victory lap, gave him a lift back to the pits on the sidepod of his Williams.
