2017 was when it went wrong, we went from wheel to wheel stuff between Nico and Lewis to dirty air, pit strategy racing between Lewis and Sebastian.

in 2017, Rosberg wasn't in F1 anymore. Which shows how little you remember of it yourself.

Well, it's clear I mean 2017 was when the wheel to wheel battling stopped and we were left with nothing but pit stop races between Lewis in the Mercedes and Sebastien in the Ferrari

I remember it fine thanks, including such classics as Bahrain 2014, Silverstone 2015, Hungary 2015, Spa 2016, Brazil 2016 and Monaco 2016, amid others

All nuked now, of course.

Most of the 1984 cars were ugly. The rear wing extensions that year didn't look very good at all. The Toleman was especially bad.

The cars changed a huge amount between 1982 and 84. I love some of the cars from 1983, but you're right about the 84 ones.

88 - 93 are my favourite designs, as well as a lot of the 70s.

I like some of the 1984 cars haha the Lotus and McLaren were good looking

in 1983 cars were basically the 1982 cars without ground effects, that's why almost all of them looked like arrows (not Arrows team, but arrows shot from a bow), yet I still find it very cool, they were compact and with raw power

Monaco 2018 tomorrow.....

Again a race chosen only for the result and not the action that takes place between lights out and chequered flag...

Also for new fans, they probably should've shown 2016 first, so they could re-live the heartbreak and understand why this result was so cathartic.

But ho-hum.

they should had kept the F1 washout series and show Fuji 2007 (properly cutting the first laps under SC obviously)

finally, the best race start in history, courtesy of David Coulthard

Best race of my childhood! Or maybe ever.

I love how the camera turns to Eau Rouge and you see all these wheels rolling down the hill

Yikes, I had never seen those two guys running across the track after the finish.

I don't get everyone's love affair with Spa 1998

As a 12 year old Schumi fan I didn't lke the outcome much. I did however like the crash very much. So all in all it was positive. Although 12yo me was convinced it was Coulthards fault and that he did take Micheal out on purpose.

It was a misunderstanding more than anything. Coulthard said later he slowed on the racing line but there was no malice.
