In 2004, Rubens Barrichello ended a disappointing race by limping across the finish line at Hockenheim with a stricken Ferrari. He stopped immediately by the pit wall and climbed out to find one very flat left rear tyre. It had been a messy afternoon for the Brazilian, and he ended the day down in 12th place.
