What about 1999?

The 1996 AGP was pretty good, Hill and Villeneuve going toe to toe for most of the race.

And that start crash, my first race as enthusiast.


This was the only race my soccer fan friends called me to watch. Being the first one and in the middle of the night. Was nice to hang out until the start. And always crazy races. That in the early 00's.

My favorite one is 2010 iirc. The one with rain and dry.

Which one was it where Hakkinen broke while leading on a restart and F1 had the closest it's ever had to a proper, field bunched up restart?

Cos that was awesome.

EDIT : that would be '99.

I've always loved these on 'the edge' camera positions

you couldn't be more wrong. in 2006 there was constantly happening something. Crashes are always fun, especially if a 7 time world champion proves that he is also still able to make mistakes. There was never a moment of peace, unlike in 90% of the other races of the last years where after 10 laps you pretty much get an idea of what is happening, sit back, doze of and wait for the finish.

What was so good about 2009, apart from the last laps battle between Vettel and Kubica? Or 1997 where the only surprise was when Frentzen's brakes failed?

I liked 2008

Alonso battling with Kovalainen, Raikkonen going off all the time, single digit finishers ...

2003 and 2010 are my favourites.

1997 was genuinely good, but I think I enjoyed 2009 the most. It may not have been the most exciting race, but I was in such a good mood that day.

no rain

Preparations have started

2003 is the one that stands out most in my mind, but I should probably go back and have a look at some of the other ones mentioned.

1997 was really good because there was a good and genuine fight for the win between 3 drivers of differing machinery and you never knew who'd come out on top. Frentzen's brake failure robbed us of a little action at the end. It's also worth remembering that Coulthard winning ended a long McLaren dry spell.

2009 was really enjoyable for a few reasons. Firstly because of the changing of the guard at the front... Brawn versus Red Bull?? Add in Ferrari looked mediocre and McLaren were nowhere, the race had a refreshing look. Secondly because you didn't know whether the new tyre rules would have an affect on the result. 5 laps before the end Jenson had a good lead but with Kubica having changed onto fresh rubber, he was favorite for the win. But then... And lastly, it was the fairy tale story of Brawn GP taking a 1-2 after nearly not surviving the winter.

Omega - I agree that F1 nee motorsports will always have incidents and accidents, but when that becomes the theme for a race and what people use as the basis of calling that race a classic... Yeah that doesn't work for me.

2009 was awesome, I went down to watch with some friends and they were all screaming when Kubica crashed on Vettel and Barrichello finished second haha

From the start of getting the track setup for the Gp, it takes 10 weeks total.



To be fair to Micheal, it wasn't entirely his fault. The final corner where he has his accident was not level. The grass immediately beside & after the rumble strip was bumpy when it should've been flattened out.... A design fault from the circuit organisers... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d72E8fg3vsE

No it wasn't a design fault. It was a mistake by Schumi to get carried off the circuit onto the grass. Unfortunately for him, it had bigger consequences then what we are used to with all the astroturf.

Go wide, get punished. As it should be.

http://www.formula1.com/news/features/2006/12/5413.html - In here is does mention there where bumps...

Part of the Grade 1 licence is that there are no bumps (12.2): http://argent.fia.com/web/fia-public.ns ... uge%20.pdf
