F1 Japanese: Top 5 races of all time 

#3 Senna collides with Prost - 1989 Japanese Grand Prix

Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost were involved in a championship-deciding collision

The 1989 Japanese Grand Prix at the Suzuka Circuit is one of the most controversial races in the history of Formula One.

Teammates Ayrton Senna and Alian Prost headed to the Grand Prix, with the Frenchman leading the drivers' championship standings.

Senna started the race on pole, while Prost started just behind him in the second place. However, Ayrton Senna suffered from a poor start and handed the lead to his teammate. After trailing for multiple laps, the Brazilian finally caught up with Prost, at which point, both the drivers were pulling every trick from the bag to win the race.

The drama unfolded when Senna collided with Prost after a failed overtaking manoeuvre that saw both the cars stall their engines. Alain Prost left his car while Senna managed to restart it with the help of the marshals. The Brazilian, then, headed towards the pits to replace the nosecone of his car before charging up the field to cross the line first to claim a memorable victory.

However, controversially, right after the race, the Brazilian was disqualified from the race for cutting a chicane during the collision with Prost, which settled the championship in the Frenchman's favour.

Interestingly, the duo collided at the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix as well; however, this crash retired both the drivers, gifting the championship to the prolific Brazilian driver.
