Michael Schumacher overtook Damon Hill twice on the formation lap

The seven-time world champion saw the black flag during the 1994 British Grand Prix.

The German driver had a very productive qualifying session which enabled him to start the race from the front row alongside the polesitter Damon Hill.

Driving for Benetton-Ford, Schumacher overtook the Briton twice on the formation lap before retaking his second place at the start of the race. The German received a stop-go penalty on lap 14, which he had to serve by lap 21. Schumacher failed to serve the penalty in the stipulated time and was waved black flags twice during the race.

Michael Schumacher didn't return to the pits and went on to finish the race second only to be recorded as a disqualification on the podium.

#3 Al Pease - Canada 1969

The British-Canadian participated in only three Formula 1 races, all of them being the Canadian Grand Prix.

His black flag came in his last race during the 1969 Grand Prix for being too slow. To date, Pease is the only driver to be disqualified from a race for being too slow on the track.

The stewards showed him a black flag after a series of on-track incidents. Before being disqualified, he managed to finish 22 laps, while the leaders completed 46 laps in the same time.

Interestingly, he managed to finish his first race in 1967, 43 laps behind the winner.
