That national anthem was the sound track to my childhood with all the Ferrari victories.

Bob Constanduros had clearly learned Kimi's habit of drinking a bit of champagne before starting to spray it.

Schumacher making chop on Alonso on Hangar Straight.

 

I'm surprised that wasn't penalised. He basically forced Alonso onto the grass.

That was a fun one to revisit. Primarily because I think it's one of the few that have been chosen so far more for their action, rather than who necessarily won it. Barcelona '96 and Silverstone '08 are mighty performances by one driver, but not necessarily that thrilling to re-watch because they were so one-sided.

 

This seemed to have a mix of everything, and was one that I'd kind of forgotten about (I remembered the lunatic incident, and Barrichello winning, but wasn't sure who else finished on the podium). I was surprised by how long Da Matta led the race for, but Toyota really screwed up any chance of a decent result being on a three-stopper.

 

Also, hate to be the stereotypical 2000s fanboy, but the cars looked and sounded so good. Those cars don't really look dated at all, imo.

 

So yeah, more fun and zany races in future please, whoever is in charge of selecting the ones we get to vote on. :up:
