It's so F1 to, in the absence of current races, (a) stream a "classic" race that, in retrospect, was blighted by delays and stoppages, and (b) to set up an official e-race in which only one current driver will take part.

Surely 1991 or 1993 would have been more appropriate?

 

Or surely a Bahrain Grand Prix would have been even more appropriate?

The F1 paddock was a really unhappy place in 2016, wasn't it? "Don't trust the messages on the radio", says one team boss.

Do you think F1 knows the race wasn't over in 2 hours?

Martin's idle reminiscences have reminded me that if we're going to do a terrible delayed gloomy late-season Grand Prix race, I'd be well up for the 1994 Japanese Grand Prix.

Max has this ability doesn't he to identify the 99.5% in risky conditions, when everyone else is doing 99%.

The four-wheel drift in the spray at the first corner to go round the outside of Rosberg was insane.

I think Massa did another year, as Rosberg unexpectedly retired and Bottas left Williams for Mercedes.

Yes, this was his final home race, that in the end wasn't.

When you're actually there though, it's hard not to have admiration for the guy that just crashed into the wall at high speed. If not his technique.

Just to add how next level F1.com can be, we even got the footage of the delays that led to the race starting late.

 

(but I'm still glad we got shown a full race. Germany 2011 next, please)

That was one of the best races of the last decade.
