F1: Top 10 One-Off Podium

#3 J J Lehto

J J Lehto rejoicing his first and last podium finish

Lehto was overjoyed to gain the first podium place of his career for Dallara, with Martini 4th. As prior to this 1991 San Marino Grand Prix, he missed the qualification cut for five consecutive times. It all started happening when Ivan Capelli spun into retirement from 4th to hand over to JJ Lehto's Dallara.

Modena retired with transmission problems which meant that behind the two dominant McLarens, the order was now Roberto Moreno, Lehto, Eric van de Poele for the little Modena team and Martini's Minardi.

Jyrki Juhani Jarvilehto, better known as J J Lehto has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice, in 1995 and 2005. Lehto joined the German Touring Car Championship, DTM, in 1995 and 1996. Then moved on to GT and Sports car racing.

On 17th June 2010, Lehto was involved in a boating accident where he injured himself and got his friend killed. Despite facing charges of reckless driving, negligent homicide and driving under influence the Finnish made a return to sportscasting on a Finnish sports-channel Urho TV, commentating on a DTM event.
