About: Victory lap

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

A victory lap (also lap of honor) is a term used in motorsports to describe an extra lap of the race track after the conclusion of a race. This lap, driven at reduced speed, allows the winning driver to celebrate their victory and gives the spectators an opportunity to congratulate and honor the competitors. Commonly, trackside flag marshals will wave their flags in a gesture known as the FIA salute or the Monkey Dance in the US. It is not uncommon for marshals to clap or wave their hands at drivers as a gesture and sometimes the drivers wave back in response.

  • Un tour d'honneur est un terme du vocabulaire sportif, en particulier des sports mécaniques et de l'athlétisme. Il s'agit d'un tour de piste réalisé à petite allure après la victoire en compétition. Ce tour est réalisé par le sportif pour fêter sa performance et remercier le public en se montrant à celui-ci. Généralement, le champion se déplace avec le drapeau de son pays, souvent confié par un spectateur, parfois en réalisant des mouvements de danse ou en prenant régulièrement des poses. Cette pratique est aussi très appréciée des photographes de presse. On peut trouver ce genre de comportement dans les sports individuels mais aussi dans les sports collectifs, comme le football ou le rugby à XV. Dans certains cas, les tours d'honneur peuvent être dangereux en cas d'envahissement du terrain par le public, surtout dans le football. Prêts à tout pour s'approcher de leur champion, les hooligans escaladent les grillages de sécurité, franchissent les fosses de photographes, et peuvent renverser les dispositifs de sécurité, et ainsi mettre la vie de nombreuses personnes en danger. L'autre souci, moindre, est le débordement des horaires pour la télévision. D'autre part, le tour d'honneur n'est pas présent en Formule 1 sur les circuits longs comme Spa-Francorchamps. En revanche, en endurance, le tour d'honneur a lieu même sur les circuits longs. Ainsi, les 24 Heures du Mans se déroulent sur le circuit des 24 Heures qui présente un développement de 13,629 km, distance qui n'empêche pas les pilotes d'effectuer le tour d'honneur. Par conséquent, lors des 24 Heures du Mans 2015, le vainqueur de l'épreuve Nico Hülkenberg (en équipage avec Nick Tandy et Earl Bamber), a fait un tour d'honneur d'une durée de près de 9 minutes, suivi d'une remontée de la voie des stands avec ses coéquipiers afin de rejoindre le podium. En athlétisme, l’Ougandais John Akii-Bua est le premier à avoir fait un tour d'honneur avec le drapeau de son pays, après sa victoire en 400 m haies aux Jeux olympiques de Munich en 1972. (fr)

This lap, driven at reduced speed, allows the winning driver to celebrate their victory and gives the spectators an opportunity to congratulate and honor the competitors. Commonly, trackside flag marshals will wave their flags in a gesture known as the FIA salute or the Monkey Dance in the US. It is not uncommon for marshals to clap or wave their hands at drivers as a gesture and sometimes the drivers wave back in response. Victory laps can sometime become dangerous for the winner and the other drivers, since in many tracks the safety nets can be easily climbed over by the crowd, which then becomes an obstacle for the racers. Victory laps have regularly seen drivers who have retired in the final stages of a race being given a lift back to the pits on one of their competitors' cars. Some notable examples in Formula One include Riccardo Patrese and Didier Pironi at the 1982 Monaco Grand Prix, Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna at the 1991 British Grand Prix (pictured), Jean Alesi and Michael Schumacher at the 1995 Canadian Grand Prix, Michael Schumacher and Giancarlo Fisichella at the 1997 German Grand Prix, Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard at the 2001 Spanish Grand Prix, and Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso at the 2011 German Grand Prix and 2013 Singapore Grand Prix and Sebastian Vettel and Pascal Wehrlein at the 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix. Since the mid-2000s, the FIA, motor sport's world governing body, have restricted what a Formula One driver may do on his victory lap. The sporting regulations state that at the end of a race, "all cars must proceed on the circuit directly to the post race parc fermé without stopping, without overtaking (unless clearly necessary), without receiving any object whatsoever and without any assistance (except that of the marshals if necessary)", although this rule has rarely been enforced, such as Felipe Massa taking a Brazilian flag following his victory at the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix, and more recently Lewis Hamilton taking a British flag following his controversial victory at the 2021 British Grand Prix. It is also commonplace to see drivers overtaking on the victory lap, as well as drivers stopping to conserve a one-litre fuel sample required for post-race inspection, amongst other reasons. (en)
  • Nell'automobilismo e nel motociclismo, la locuzione giro d'onore (o a volte giro della vittoria) indica l'ulteriore giro di pista che il pilota vincitore compie al termine della gara. Questo giro in più, eseguito a velocità ridotta, consente al pilota di festeggiare la vittoria e consente al pubblico di rendere omaggio e di congratularsi con lui. Spesso, in Formula 1, i commissari di pista usano sventolare le bandiere in ne cosiddetto "saluto della FIA", un gesto che negli U.S.A. è noto anche come "Monkey Dance" (lett., "il ballo della scimmia"). Non di rado i piloti rispondono salutando con la mano o (soprattutto nei campionati NASCAR) sventolando la bandiera a scacchi che viene loro consegnata sul traguardo. Il giro d'onore può diventare pericoloso per i piloti quando i tifosi scendono sulla pista oltrepassando le recinzioni di sicurezza che in molti autodromi possono essere facilmente scavalcate. (it)
