Williams takes a shock 1-2 after every other car in front of them have a massive pile-up at turn 1. The Williams' were so slow that they missed all the carnage to take the victory.

Sounds like Mark Webber in the Minardi when he got 5th place (2 laps down) at the Australian GP in 2002. Most of the field wiped out at T1, and he qualified so low down he had time to weave in and out of the debris. He went from 18th to 8th on lap 1, and as others not taken out had lengthy pit stops for repairs he got up to 5th I think possibly without actually overtaking anyone on track.
