1. 1979 French Grand Prix

Kicking off our list is a true classic that took place at Dijon-Prenois. It was the electrifying duel between Gilles Villeneuve and René Arnoux that made this race legendary. Their tyre-rubbing battles and swapped positions multiple times left the crowd roaring. Villeneuve snatched second place by the skin of his teeth, and cemented this race in the annals of F1 history. Talk about adrenaline overload!

2. 1984 Monaco Grand Prix

This race is remembered for Ayrton Senna, who caught everyone's attention with his outstanding performance in torrential rain. Driving for Toleman, the rookie stormed through the grid, giving McLaren's Alain Prost a run for his money. Although red-flagged early, Senna's near-miraculous performance set the stage for his legendary career.

3. 1998 Belgian Grand Prix

Humidity, crash-fests, and plenty of chaos characterised this Spa race. A massive pile-up on the first lap and a wet track created one of the most dramatic races ever. Damon Hill eventually took the win in what must have been one of the hardest-fought races of all time. If you love chaos, this one's for you!

4. 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix

If ever there was a rollercoaster of emotions, it was the finale of the 2008 season in Brazil. It was here that Lewis Hamilton clinched his first World Championship in the final corners by passing Timo Glock. While Brazilian fans were ready to celebrate Felipe Massa's victory, Hamilton's late heroics saw McLaren emerge victorious. This race was a complete game changer!

5. 2011 Canadian Grand Prix

Jenson Button delivered a masterclass in racing at a rain-drenched Montreal. Falling to last place, Button clawed his way back, taking the victory from Sebastian Vettel on the final lap in a race lasting over four hours! With multiple pit stops and changing conditions, this race was a test of endurance and skill.

6. 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix

Another season finale in Brazil that delivered heart-pounding drama. Sebastian Vettel overcame an early spin and damage to his car to finish sixth, securing his third consecutive World Championship. On the flip side, Fernando Alonso's title hope slipped away, amplifying the tension to the max!

7. 2014 Bahrain Grand Prix

Duel in the desert! Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg battled fiercely under the dazzling night sky. The constant lead swaps and strategic back-and-forth, along with unlimited grit, showcased F1 racing at its finest. This race underlined why team battles aren't just inner-team politics!

8. 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix

Hungaroring gave us an unpredictable and thrilling race when overcast skies led to squabbles across the pack. Sebastian Vettel raced like a warrior to take an assertive victory for Ferrari. The race had fans glued to their screens with strategic gambles paying off and the grip failing the top runners.

9. 2016 Spanish Grand Prix

A new era dawned as Max Verstappen burst onto the scene, winning his maiden F1 race for Red Bull. The dramatic first-lap collision between Mercedes teammates Hamilton and Rosberg opened the door, setting the stage for Verstappen's historic victory. This race was a perfect storm of action and underdog success!

10. 2020 Italian Grand Prix

Who doesn't love an unexpected twist? The 2020 Italian GP served up a sensation as Pierre Gasly claimed a shock victory, driving for AlphaTauri. A red flag, chaotic pit stops, and penalties for leading drivers shuffled the pack, and Gasly's win was celebrated as a true underdog triumph!
