The last edition of the Canadian Grand Prix last June saw McLaren driver Jenson Button capture victory on the ultimate lap of the race. Strangely enough, such as astonishing feat happened several times in the history of Formula 1.

The most amazing finish of all is undoubtedly the No. 1 when the driver crossed the finish line without even knowing he was the victor!

In the spirit of all things subjective, here's out top list of last-lap victories in Grand Prix racing.

Canadian Grand Prix in 1991 - Nigel Mansell in the Williams-Renault is a sure winner until he let the revs dropped too low in the hairpin corner when waiving to the fans. The Renault engine stalled, giving victory to Nelson Piquet in the Benetton-Ford.
