We conclude our look into some of the greatest F1 duels with the 2000 Belgian Grand Prix – a race made famous by Mika Hakkinen pulling off one of the greatest overtaking manoeuvres in F1 history.

Schumacher learned a valuable lesson about who he could and could not intimidate on the track during the French Grand Prix of 2000.

In a stunning manoeuvre still revered to this day – Schumacher went all the way around the outside of Alesi in the 1995 European Grand Prix, and from there on would speed on to one of the finest victories of his career.

Sparks flew during the Spanish Grand Prix of 1991, as Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna went wheel-to-wheel with literally only centimetres to spare.

The ’81 Monaco Grand Prix provided an epic battle between Alan Jones and Gilles Villeneuve, with the French-Canadian taking his truck-like Ferarri to his first victory since 1979.

As far as no-holds barred duels go, the epic battle between Gilles Villeneuve and Rene Arnoux at Dijon-Prenois in 1979 has gone down in Formula 1 history as possibly the most famous of all time.
