F1: Drivers who were Black Flagged during a Grand Prix

#6 Elio de Angelis - Australia 1985

Like Montoya, Elio de Angelis too received two black flags in his F1 career. The Italian's first black flag came during the 1981 British Grand Prix for ignoring yellow flags during the race. His second black flag came during the 1985 Australian Grand Prix, which was the first race held at the Adelaide street circuit.

Driving his last race in the Lotus, the Italian failed to retain his grid position during the formation lap. Ideally, he should have started the race at the back of the grid, but in the heat of the moment, de Angelis overtook cars in the formation lap to regain his grid position, which caused his race to be black-flagged by the stewards on lap 18.

#5 Alain Prost - Italy 1986

Alain Prost is yet another driver to be disqualified for illegal car change

The Frenchman received a black flag during the 1986 Italian Grand Prix held at Monza.

Alain Prost was excellent in qualifying and finished the session second, less than 0.5 seconds behind Teo Fabi. However, both the drivers could not manage to start the race from the front row. Fabi started from the back of the grid while Prost started the race from the pits in his spare car after his first-choice car suffered from mechanical problems.

The Frenchman started well and was in the top-10 and marched ahead to get into the points. However, Prost's race was black-flagged by the race stewards for the illegal car change before his engine blew up the following lap.
