#2 Rubens Barrichello - 18th Place

Formula One Motor Racing - German Grand Prix
Barrichello's win from the 18th place was his first F1 win

The Brazilian's win at Hockenheimring in 2000 is one of the most memorable moments of German Grand Prix history.

A disastrous qualifying session ensured that Rubens Barrichello would start the race from the 18th position, 4 seconds behind polesitter David Coulthard.

Barrichello showed great character during the initial stages of the race and progressed quickly to the middle of the pack. A safety car deployment due to the track invasion of a fan and changing weather conditions helped the Brazilian's cause.

Showers lashed the track during the closing stages of the Grand Prix, which forced most of the drivers at the top to pit for a change of tyres. However, Barrichello decided to stay on track, and with an inspired drive in the wet with slick tyres, he finished the race on the top.
