Kimi Raikkonen went off-track on lap 52 of the 2012 Brazilian GP and tried to rejoin by using an access road. A gate in front of him was closed, however, and the Lotus driver had to turn around and drive through the grass in order to find the circuit again

“I went off at the last corner on lap 52 as I couldn’t see well with my visor being dirty and fogged up,” said Kimi – “Where I went off you can get back on the track by going through the support race pitlane, but you have to go through a gate. know this as I did the same thing in 2001 and the gate was open that year. Somebody closed it this time. Next year I’ll make sure it’s open again…”
