We were impressed with Max Verstappen finishing on the podium without a tiny bit of front wing, but how about this; Gilles Villeneuve broke his entire front wing during the 1981 Canada Grand Prix, but the thing didn't break off and stood vertically, completely blocking Villeneuve's vision. Not to mention his aerodynamics and his downforce being completely gone. Still, the Canadian somehow limped to the finish, bringing home third place.
