The incident also made our Top-10 Pit Lane Blunders countdown, ranked at #2!
Coulthard’s error gifted team-mate Damon Hill a comfortable win, with the Englishman taking victory by an incredible margin of two laps from Olivier Panis (Ligier) and Gianni Morbidelli (Arrows), as the majority of the frontrunners retired.
