Maybe not put them out through crashing, but at least punish them for going off.

Yeah, I remember seeing that race. :lol:

It was nearly every single one of them. :tumble:

Hungary 2004

Lights out away we go

Ross Brawn eats a banana

And it's a win for Micheal Schumacher

Literally nothing else happened.

Lots happened. I turned off the TV, converted CDs to MP3s then stacked up music on my new Apple iPod (series 2, the old white brick). Happy days.

1999 was one of my all time favorite seasons. That seemed to be the perfect blend of being difficult but possible to overtake with good looking cars and unpredictability and a team doing their absolute best to throw away a sure championship . And France in the wet was still one of the great races in my opinion. Nurbergring was pretty taste as well.

Hakkinien's tyre blow out at Hockenheim was the only time I've actually jumped out of my seat and yelped in excitement and anxiety. Of course it wasn't all action and passing, but it had the correct blend I think, complete with a crushing comeback from Schumi. Oh and circuits that actually bit you if you made a mistake, see Fisi and Coulthard throwing it off the road at Nurbergring and not recovering on an acre of tarmac.

2002 Hungary was another parade, although it did have a nice pass by Kimi on Montoya

50 years since Jim Clark passed away


here's a tribute video I made for the 40th anniversary (bloody scary that 10 years has passed since I made it)

A race at Magny Cours springs to mind.

Remember when all the focus was on the weather going into a GP, because it was the only thing that bought excitement?



Was it the race where commentators and graphics were constantly telling how the rain will arrive in 15 minutes but it never came until during the press conference? Good times.

I remember one in 2004 that during the race they displayed "rain in 15 minutes", then "rain in 10 minutes" and finally "rain in 5 minutes". In the expected time for the rain to fall race control just displayed "no rain expected during the race"

I wanted to throw the TV through the window

There is actually a thunderstorm predicted for Bahrain tomorrow :8:

At 6pm as it goes, which will obviously be way after the finish of the race :lol:

Imagine rain under the lights there at those temps
No doubt they'd find a reason to postpone the race due to being "too dangerous"

They said they'd never race in Singapore in the rain, but they did. Didn't MotoGP do a night wet race in Qatar or somewhere?

Pretty sure they had to postpone it cause the reflection of the lights off the wet surface was blinding the riders

Not the easy long straight DRS overtaking that does not give me any adrenaline shot when watching it


Yeah lets go back to the mid 00's when races had 9 overtakes, 6 of them done in the pits, the other 3 took reliability or 25 laps to pull off :roll:

thankfully we had more passes at albert park 2 weeks ago
