    To be honest I have never heard of peter Gethin before but after reading the above I decided to do a bit of research on the guy. I was intrigued on the famous split second win, I was really unaware there was such a close finish in F1.

    I faintly knew of him, but not much.

    Still R.I.P Peter. Winner of the closest race in hisory. Top 5 covered by less than a second!

    Had heard of him, but only due the record. Imagine finishing fifth but only 0.69 seconds behind the leader?!
