Thread: F1 Events with Extreme Weather Conditions

There were quite a few throughout Formula 1 history. Of course the most known recent example of an 'extreme' wet race is the Grand Prix of Belgium in 1998. The whole field was involved in a massive accident that required a (obviously) a restart and is considered to be the most costly start in the history of the sport.

An even more extreme example is the non-championship F1 race, International Trophy, that took place in Silverstone in 1973. It actually snowed during the race

The 1991 Australian Grand Prix was a race hampered by really bad weather. What should be added is that the race was stopped after only 14 laps because of the torrential rain

at Fuji japan there was a very wet race, i dont know the year Lauda retired from the race because he was to scared to drive, and lost the title

1968 German GP at the Nurburgring.

Jackie Stewart won by over 4 minutes (the fastest lap of the race was 9 minutes and 30 seconds)
