Barrichello's first F1 win

Rubens Barrichello's first Formula 1 win at the 2000 German Grand Prix is surely the most memorable moment at the Hockenheimring.

The Brazilian had an appalling qualifying session that saw him start the race from a long way back in the 18th place.

Barrichello had a dream start as he progressed to the tenth place at the end of the first lap. Moreover, the deployment of the safety car in quick succession at laps 25 and 29 helped the Brazilian's surge to the top of the field.

What began as a dry race soon transpired to become a damp race and then changed into a wet race. Rubens Barrichello's inspired drive in the rain with the slick tyres helped him jump the leaders who had pitted for a change of tyres. He won the race with a margin of 7.4 seconds over Mika Hakkinen.

Elsewhere, Jensen Button of the Williams finished in fourth place after finishing 16th in qualifying.
