Moments before the start of an F1 race, there's nerves in the garages and in the fan stands.

Moments before those five red lights are out we can't predict what's about to happen when all cars approach the first corner.

The 1980 Monaco race certainly hosted a few surprises especially on the first corner moments after the race started.

Derek Daly of Tyrrell-Ford flew over a number of cars when approaching turn 1 and miraculously didn't hurt anyone in the process.

The Irishman was out of the race and his collision with teammate Jean-Pierre Jarier made sure both drivers were not to continue on that cloudy Sunday.

Frenchman Didier Pironi would go on to win the 38th Monaco GP.
