A bout of congestion at the start of the 1998 Canadian Grand Prix saw Alex Wurz try to force the issue at the first corner.
To no avail unfortunately as the Benetton was launched into a roll and both Jarno Trulli and Johnny Herbert were taken out.
Alex's day was far from over however as the Austrian ran back to the pits, was strapped into the spare car, started from the back of the grid for the second start and went on to finish fourth!
All in a day's racing.
