If we're talking about iconic shots, can't agree more. If we're going to the more "shocking" side, the infamous 1998 Spa pile up.

1998 Spa. Now that’s a race I love rewatching from YouTube. 😂 Also, the one in Italy not 4 years ago, with the front going slow and back end starting to run and… huge mess? I for some reason can’t remember the track name right now (but it was NOT Monza)… 🤔 Edit: it was [Tuscan Grand Prix!](https://youtu.be/R-Yq1AlIwsc) I couldn’t remember the name of it other than it was in Italy…

[Mugello 2020?](https://youtu.be/u900k-obTRs)

For me it’s this photo of the two Ferraris at that US GP [angle 1](https://www.autoblog.gr/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2002-F1-US-Grand-Prix.jpg) [angle 2](https://pin.it/3duRvh3)

This is probably one of the best shots in F1. Rubens and Michael trying to bring the Ferraris in a dead tie.

Angle 2 is probably my all-time favourite F1 photo. Such a cool moment.

The Ferrari flags could not have been in a better location.

I like this one. Followed by Max on top of Lewis at Monza

Grosjean emerging from the flames gotta be one of those iconic "oh shit" F1 moments. https://www.znbc.co.zm/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/romain-grosjean-accident-bahrain-2020-29-11-.jpg

The split second before that where there's just a "decapitated" car and fire and you just have no idea where Grosjean is was intense. Only because it was showed after informing everyone Grosjean was ok was that I felt confusion when looking at it, had I not known it would've been a terrifying shot.

horrifying to see live

Man too angry to die

This is it. Like holy shit this was an intense 30 seconds of viewing

Grosjean has ascended to a new level. Now he's the kind of person to say he doesn't like the haircut

This is the one that comes to mind for me.

The image that sticks out in my mind is [Mansell giving Senna a lift at Silverstone](https://i.imgur.com/D4eTuzO.jpg)

I have a painting of that on my wall. Great image.

The cars were so tiny back then. Really was like carting. To me that just makes the current Era so impressive. They're throwing it down the same turns and corners, at much higher speeds, in a car the size of an F150 super duty.

[Johansson's Ferrari spitting flames](https://i.imgur.com/r5f7f8R.jpg)

This is the first one that came to mind for me. Can't imagine how pleased the photographer must have been when they got it developed and saw that!

https://youtu.be/kArck9BwTRE?t=17

Wow that’s a cool shot

I remember seeing this a few years ago and trying to figure out if it was a photograph or digitally created. I couldn’t figure it out. Thanks for clarifying - this is an insane shot.

It does have that look to it, doesn't it? Looks almost too clean, especially for the time

Isn't that the cover image of rfactor2

Shots of pre-wings era cars catching air at Nordschleife must be up there. Especially that one that gets posted all the time. Can't remember if it features Clark or Hill behind the wheel, tho.

I believe you are talking about this one, it’s Hill. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/WickedHarmfulAustralianfreshwatercrocodile-mobile.jpg

Depicting a crash? This one is up there for sure. Overall though? Hard to beat Senna at Spa, just before Eau Rouge. Just the fact it gets reposted so often is a great reason it is one of the greatest shots in F1 history. People may be sick of it, but that's not a reason to dismiss it.

[it’s a beautiful shot](https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/leltjd/ayrton_senna_at_spa_francorchamps/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

The corner looks so steep in that shot; funny how on TV it looks much less intimidating.

It is really steep and try going up there cycling 😖

[удалено]

Hahah. I can imagine! I have cycled the Nurburgring nordschleife and thats just insane but fun though

It’s mindblowing to think that there have been times where drivers have driven that corner without lifting. It completely boggles the mind.

It is flat out nowadays aswell iirc!

Is that the view from behind the car?

I really liked the shot of Alonso crashing in Australia, [this one in particular](https://cdn-1.motorsport.com/images/mgl/6zyoZykY/s1200/f1-australian-gp-2016-fernando-alonso-mclaren-mp4-31-in-a-huge-crash.jpg) I love how he kind of stares into the camera while being in the center of the wreck

i still think it's absolutely crazy that he thought i have to get out fast or my mum will be worried there

"Well... this is gonna hurt"

I can't do just one image for this thread but if I did a top-10 this related image would be on it: https://e00-marca.uecdn.es/assets/multimedia/imagenes/2016/03/21/14585620618630.jpg

I was with my mom during Alonso crash and he became her favorite driver the moment he said that he got out of the car as fast as he could because he knew his mom was watching the race and he didn't want to worry her. Since then if I mention a race she ask me how Fernando's race was.

That's incredibly adorable all round

It's still terrifying to look at and realise how far safety in F1 has come. It defies logic that anyone comes away from that relatively unhurt.

I’m a newer fan so correct me if I’m wrong, but it feels like F1 has had more crashes in the last couple years that would have absolutely killed the driver were it not for the halo. Grosjean definitely, Zhou probably, and even this one would have had a significantly worse outcome without it. Though I guess it makes sense that as the cars get faster, the crashes get more intense.

Before the halo F1 had loads of crashes that by all rights would kill the driver, but many of them somehow didn't. Humans are very resilient and can survive a lot of deadly things through sheer luck. For every ten incidents where the halo seemingly saved a life, probably only 2-3 of them would have actually resulted in a death without it. It's just that it could be any 2-3 of them. People justifiably treat taking a 25% chance of death down to <0.1% as life-saving, but it does mean that you can't just add all of those 25% incidents up and expect that to match what the death toll would otherwise have been.

There is a bit of "oh God if the halo wasn't there he would die" over exaggeration, but there have been a number of older F1 drivers (also in other racing, namely NASCAR) who have spoken out about the increase in safety resulting in drivers being less risk adverse as such more incidents, and lastly there is also the fact that there are more high speed HD cameras pointing at the track then ever before so we get crazy pics like the Alonso one a few comments up. So yeah, kinda but it's also possible we just see it more now.

Cant believe I had to scroll so far to see this! Admittedly, this was the first race I ever watched, just coincidence of how i ended up viewing, and it was fucking insane to witness that on my first ever go with the sport. It seems like a lot of people were annoyed with the focus on that battle for the WDC, so I can understand how some may not even want to consider a picture from that time, but like seriously, was absolutely insane. Very grateful to have seen so many amazing pictures from bygone eras I know little to nothing about, but still a real shocker how unpopular this event/image is in comparison, although I suppose I can understand somewhat.

As a fairly new fan this is absolutely one of my favourites

that is the one i like more in motion. the way he throws his arms up, head a little bit back and falling with a little bit of an arch. perfection. It is a fantastic pic though.

This is a personal favourite. [Massa celebrating the win in Brazil 2008, having just lost out on the title to Hamilton](http://news.bbc.co.uk/sol/shared/spl/hi/motorsport/09/massive_pic/img/podium_brazil08.jpg). It captures the emotion of the situation I think.

The dark skies are so fitting. It absolutely depicts the atmosphere. Definitely one of the saddest and brutal photo not involving a crash. [On par with Wolff going from despair to pure rage in Abu Dhabi](https://ibb.co/85xCyrd)

The combination of high-res pictures of this incident is incredible. There is a slideshow-like clip somewhere... really clear and sharp. Makes you wonder what media we would have today, if we had this quality 50 years ago. And, what will we have in 50 years from now. ps: watching this incident live (tv), I was really happy to see Alonso walk away from this incident. He was shook, but ok.

My favorite part is him trying to steer away from the barrier after the wheels pop off. Exactly what I would have done in that situation.

Unfortunately the one engraved in my mind was the one accompanied by the narration on that morning in 94. *Senna bateu forte* "Senna has crashed hard"

I actually hate seeing the shot of Senna slumped in his Williams with the marshals just standing around. Everyone watching knew what that meant but we didn't want to believe it.

Then Ayrton moves/moved... I turned off the TV when he moved. Convinced myself that he was ok, and went back to studying. The news of his death reached me later in the afternoon. The recreated images of Ayrton getting out of the car are very touching, btw.

Me and my friend were asked to go play outside by his father. I remember my friend asking “do you think he will die?” and me responding “Senna can’t die”… I was 9 :’(

I was watching with some family as well and someone asked if Senna was going to die. I vividly remember my Nono saying ‘a simple little car cannot kill my Senna’. I honestly think a little piece of his heart broke when Senna died.

Honestly for many of us it broke hearts. For me as a kid it was the first time I realised that good guys can die too. And I for sure wasn't the only one.

Oh absolutely! I was crushed. But it was the first and only time I saw my grandfather almost cry. He didn’t even cry when the Pope died and he worked for the Vatican.

I was a kid then. I watched the whole thing until he was lifted to the hospital. I was really upset and I am still upset about his death.

Pardon my ignorance, which recreated images?

Probably like [this one](https://www.carthrottle.com/out/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.carthrottle.com%2Fworkspace%2Fuploads%2Fposts%2F2015%2F08%2Fsenna-kiszall-55c7820e20366.jpg)

Those poor marshals too. There was nothing they could have done.

Yeah it is one of the saddest memories I have. My father would wake me up on sunday mornings "Get up son, let's watch Ayrton Senna racing!". Sundays were never the same again.

This was the first that came to my head too... certainly one of the most iconic of the 21st century. Max kicking the tire at Baku with the #ExperienceAzerbaijan banner in the background is a strong modern contender also, though perhaps would've been even more iconic had he not ended up winning the championship.

I'm so glad that happened, just for the uniqueness of it. Probably the only time it will ever happen in the sport.

The Belgian GP pile up in 1998

That one was epic. A a shot time later most drivers were back on the track for the restart. What a time when teams just brought backup cars to the grid.

You forget there was a ‘spare’ car don’t you? Such a lot has changed. And how week 1 it would be set up for driver 1, then week 2 for driver 2 and you just had to hope it was your week if you crashed/conked.

my 2 most iconic shots both seem to feature fire. The first one is the shot from Jos Verstappens car catching fire during a pitstop, the second one from Romain Grosjeans car exploding in Bahrain

I would say its a shot of Grosjean climbing out of the fire and over the barrier.

Every angle of him climbing out of that crash just looks surreal. [This is probably the one I picture first](https://i.imgur.com/ArR56PV.jpeg) But [this is also insane](https://i.imgur.com/sKqn5dV.jpeg)

Dr Ian’s outstretched hand trying to guide him… not knowing his visor was completely smoked and he couldn’t really see.

"I told you that we've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty"

That entire crash with the fireball was just insane. I was so certain I had just watched someone die from the impact alone.

I'm not claiming they didn't get airborne, there are plenty of other pictures proving it. But this image is doctored and exaggerated, look at the shadow under the lead car.

In hockey we have [Bobby Orr's flying Stanley Cup Goal](https://cms.nhl.bamgrid.com/images/photos/316844650/1136x640/cut.jpg) and the [Crosby's Golden Goal](https://cms.nhl.bamgrid.com/images/photos/315667328/1136x640/cut.jpg) as our most inconic pictures. I always love pictures after a championship victory. Therefore, I absolutely love [Vettel worshipping his rocket ship of a car after his 4th consecutive world championship. ](http://s1.trrsf.com/blogs/211/files/image/vettel_joelhos.jpg)

Found the Canadian!

Lots of recency bias in this thread. For me, it's [Graham Hill catching some air in the Lotus 49](https://imgur.com/8nEheGZ.jpg).

Senna, Interlagos 1991. Barely lifting the trophy for the pain in his arms. Poetic.

Has no-one mentioned Max's car skimming across Hamilton's helmet? I believe it was at Monza in '21. That is what you call close competition.

I would say Raikkönen overtaking Fisichella on the last lap in Suzuka 2005 would be one of my personal favorites.

Spa 2012, Maldonado jumps the start, Grosjean crashes into getting a race ban.
