So, the racing in slow motion video (here) shows an F1 driver getting run over by his own car.

Who was it and what happened. My Google-fu is failing me today.

That was Nigel Mansell at the USGP-Dallas, 1984. He was pushing the car because the gearbox failed on the final lap.

The temps were in the 100's the whole weekend and the heat got to him but the car didn't roll over his body or his 'stache.

All that for 5th place points which he shouldn't have earned anyway. He was credited with 6th even though he didn't finish; attrition was really high at that event.
