ROBERTO MORENO-1995 ADELAIDE | |||
|
 The
F1 paddock had already had their laughs over David Coulthard's pit mishap, when
Roberto Moreno in the cumbersome Forti-Ford entered the pit lane.The Brazilian, driving in his last grand prix, appeared to be taking a normal line in the pit entry, when the back end stepped out, and sent the car into the pit wall backwards. The Brazilian stated that he thought oil had been dropped by a car in the pit lane entry, thus explaining his spin and Coulthard's accident. Either way, the incident summed up Moreno's career-always in the wrong place at the wrong time. This accident marked Moreno's final involvement in Formula One. The events of Adelaide 1995 are shown below: |
