There are many...

Ayrton Senna in '93 at Donington or Brazil '91 or Michael Schumacher in '96 at Spain or Monza '98.

Alan Jones versus Prost

who won the race??

[SpaMaster]

Monza 2008

[John Player]

Donington 1993 and Hungary 1998.

[rjtart]

The answer is Monaco 1970. Jochen Rindt comes from nowhere to win in a nearly 3 year old car, setting fastest lap on the final lap of the race, almost 3 seconds faster than his qualifying speed.

Fangio at the Nurburgring in 57
Nuvolaris humbling of the German teams in 35
Villeneuve at Jarama in 81.

Been following F1 since 1998, Suzuka 2005 is the best I've seen in that time.

[LiJu914]

Ayrton Senna, Donington 1993.

Is not even the best of Senna himself.

Same here.

well someone shares my thoughts ... that win was majestic. a close second is Abu dhabi 2012

[Ragingjamaican]

I don't know why, but Brazil 2008 springs to my mind.

Title pressure on Massa, changeable conditions, didn't put a foot wrong throughout the weekend and was dominant (not that dominant mind you).

Of course it's not the best, but I found it to be very impressive.

Also, Schumacher in Hungary 1998 against the faster McLaren's, was helped a little, but how he and Ferrari made that 3 stopper work I just don't know.

awesome post! For me the winner so far

what is impressive about a guy winning with a car miles faster than any other

GV @ Jarama 81 without a shade of doubt.

Driving from the back without drs or kers, winning on the last lap.

Schumacher 1996 without all gizmos Senna had in Donington 1993 for me the best wet race win ever. Senna had far more spectacular races like brazil 1991 can't underdestand the fuss about Donington by knowing other drivers didn't have a traction control like Senna. Senna himself said he had better/harder races.

"People later said that my win at the wet in Donington in '93 was my greatest performance - no way! I had traction control! It was a good win, sure, but, compared with Estoril '85, it was nothing, really."

[Jejking]

Suzuka 2000. That whole weekend was just epic and both Schumacher and Hakkinen pushed each other to the absolute possible limit.

Qualifying:


Race:
Schumacher pole, Hakkinenn second. Hakkinen takes lead and REALLY slowly pulls away. Stops. Schumacher slightly closes in. Suddenly: drops of rain. Then: traffic. Then: stops. Then: Schumacher leads and Hakkinen comes up strong but gets there just too late. Teeth in the table and nails in the carpet. What a RACE.

good one.

[Henri Greuter]

From the ones I can recall because of seeing it on TV

1981 Jarama (Villeneuve)
1985 Portugal (Senna)
1996 Barcelona (Schumacher)

There are other victories which impressed me very much but often that was after reading the circumstances during the race and/or being pointed out something that I missed during watching the actual race. But the three above are the ones of which I knew during the race that something extraordinary was happening.

And I am too young to have seen Nurnburgring 1968, let alone Nurnburgring 1935


Henri

[Little Leaf]

Portugal 85

Exactly.

Miles better than Donington '93 (which was also special)

[Andretti Fan]

Gethin at Monza in 71. He did a great job to put himself in position to win that race.

Fangio in 1957 German Gp

That's so funny coming from a Schumacher fan....

tell me more about the best races of Schumacher won in the best car, meanly you here 98 or 96 as answers, where Schumacher didn't have the best car. Cheap attempt to attack his answer. I don't agree on him. Kimi's win was fantastic. But you don't need a low attack on basis of his favorite driver

[michal2009b]

Europe '12, Malaysia '12, Canada '11, Suzuka '05, Donington '93

[Disgrace]

Suzuka 1994.

[aditya-now]

Is not even the best of Senna himself.

I know, for me the most impressive, though.

[DrivenF1]

By reputation before my time:

Fangio - '57 Nurburgring

Made up nearly a minute in 11 laps - taking 10 seconds out of the leading Ferraris in one lap going 8.2 seconds faster than his pole lap.

Clark - '63 Spa

Won by almost five minutes.

Stewart - '68 Nurburgring

Won by over four minutes

Senna - '85 Estoril

Lapped everyone but Alboreto in the wet


In my time:

Schumacher - '95 Spa

Schumacher - '96 Spain

Schumacher - '97 Monaco

Schumacher - '98 Hungary

Schumacher - '00 Suzuka

Kimi - '05 Suzuka

Hamilton - '08 Silverstone

Vettel - '08 Monza

Button - '11 Canada

Alonso - '12 Malaysia/Valencia

Gilles at Monaco 1981.

...would´ve been my response to the Jarama 81 posts.

May have been not so spectacular, but to win in Monaco with an early 80s turbo...good lord.
Ok he inherited P1 after Jones got in trouble but still...

[emburmak]

;)

If you had taken the time to watch the race u would have understood the '?' mark.

Let me enlighten you--FM won the race only because of a penalty handed to LH for an overtake on KR that the FIA deemed worthy. It was the battle for the lead between LH vs KR that made it impressive. BUT HEY LAUGH ON IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

Given the overwhelming success that Merc showed during the 2012 season, Rosberg's win this season past must take it.

The pass he made on the inside of Alan Jones in front of the pits during the race was unreal. I think there was almost no room left between him and the wall.

Who needs DRS? Guys just needed the balls Gilles had.

I know I appreciated the humour, I was laughing with you.

Kimi and Lewis were superb in that race and Felipe was like a ghost.
