International Formula 3000 Championship: David Coulthard won his first F3000 race in bizarre circumstances

David Coulthard (GBR) won his first F3000 race in bizarre circumstances. Race leader Pedro Lamy (POR) ran off the circuit handing the lead to Coulthard. One lap Lamy overtook Coulthard at the final corner and, thinking he had won the race, raised his fists in celebration. By the time he had realised Coulthard was back in front and went on to win the race. Lamy went on to run wide and crash!

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the International Formula 3000 Championship, we witness a truly extraordinary turn of events. David Coulthard, hailing from Great Britain, secures his first F3000 victory in the most peculiar circumstances. The race leader Pedro Lamy, representing Portugal, unexpectedly veers off the circuit, gifting Coulthard with an unexpected lead. However, just when it seemed like Coulthard had sealed his triumph, Lamy makes a stunning comeback on the final lap. Overcoming by sheer determination and adrenaline rush, he overtakes Coulthard at the last corner and jubilantly raises his fists in celebration. Little did he know that fate had another twist in store for him. As Lamy revels in what he believes to be his well-deserved win, reality strikes him hard - Coulthard swiftly regains control of the race and ultimately crosses the finish line as victor. Meanwhile, lost in disbelief and disappointment over losing his momentary glory, Lamy's misfortune continues as he loses control of his car and crashes. This snapshot captures not only a thrilling motorsport moment but also serves as a reminder of how unpredictable life can be. It showcases both joyous elation and crushing defeat within mere seconds—a testament to the exhilarating nature of competitive racing. Taken during the International Formula 3000 Championship held at Enna-Pergusa circuit in Sicily on July 18th, 1993; this image immortalizes one of those
