Well, my memory is a bit fuzzy, and I may be getting the racers mixed up, but I seem to recall a race in which Mika Hakkinen ran out of gas on the (couple?) last corner(s), and Michael Schumacher going on to win that same race, but giving Mika a ride to the finish line?

Damn I am really confused here, please help clarify this for me!
 
That'll be the 2001 Spanish GP. Mika retired on the last lap due to hydraulic failure. I don't recall him accepting the lift from Schumacher though.



EDIT: Aha
The Finn could only park up his car in frustration and hitch a lift home on team-mate David Coulthard's McLaren Mercedes after seeing his three-year winning streak in Spain ended.

I seem to recall that it was a pretty dull race.
