2007 when Lewis first went wide when he tried fight against Alonso and then later is gear “problem” I thougt i am going to have hearth attack. I could not believe that Kimi really could win that WDC.

When Keke Rosberg won WDS i thought it was joke. Not so many people in Finland liked him. He was too mouth full and arrogance to be favorite on mind of finnish people.

But who was to think that exactly ten years later I was dancing around the living room again, thanks to Kimi. A title he should have won a long time ago.

I have always been and always will be a fan of Villeneuve, when he left I found the same spirit JC had in Kimi. And he has yet to dissapoint me. But if possible, I would have liked to see those two drivers compete in the near future.

@1994:- Despite the fact it was later revealed, Benetton cheated their way to the title, as suspected by Senna before he died, I’d still have been embarrassed if Hill had won that title. The frivolous penalties handed to M. Schumacher that year was just too much. He could have wrapped the the win mid season.

@2003:- If Kimi had won that years title, even giving for consistency, it would have seemed strange, with just one win to his name, compared to six for his rival.

For me the 1999 Showdown was memorable. Ferrari had the opportunity to finally end their drivers championship drought. Unfortunately, the man likely to give them the title was the number 2 driver and loud mouth. Who had openly expressed elation at his teams mates accident and forced absence.
But we know Schumacher had chosen Irvine to be his team mate. Unfortunately he had underestimated the media’s ability to destroy morale within a team, fueled on by a seemingly handicapped number 2 driver.
As history will tell, it was with a bitter sweet sigh of relief , despite not winning a drivers title for yet another year, that the number 2 driver was not the one to give Ferrari the first drivers title in over 2 decades. The loyalty Ferrari showed to Micheal Schumacher, would then go on to be rewarded many times over for the next 5 seasons.

Suzuka 1989
90 minutes of incredible tension as Senna and Prost duked it out at the top of their games. You knew there was going to be a lunge into the chicane at some point and when it came, they had the most dramatic low speed collision I had ever seen.
Murray Walker – “OH, It’s happened!”
Senna actually put his hand to his head when he realised what had happened while Prost looked across and shrugged his shoulders. Then Senna rejoined, roared around a lap without his front wing, pitted, rejoined and overtook Nannini AT THE SAME PLACE HE HAD JUST CRASHED!!!
He took the chequered flag to send it to a final race only for the FIA to take it away.

My most memorable day in F1 ever.

I’m surprised no-one has mentioned the 2006 championship showdown, even though to be honest, it never really was one. The way Schumacher charged through the field after his puncture proved why he is a seven-time champion.

2007 will always be THE championship showdown for me because it looked like Raikkonen’s chances were impossible in China, let alone Brazil, but I thought, if Kimi did it in China, he could do it in Brazil. I needed to record that race, just because, and thank godness I did.

My first moment of glee was when Hamilton slowed down with a gearbox problem. (Unfortunately, it was during the adverts.) And then my second moment of glee, was when Raikkonen did the impossible, won the championship from nowhere.

The McLarens that year were close and DC was unlucky not to be fighting for the title. Irvine as we know was unlucky and if it wasn’t for some crap ferrari pit/mechanics he’d have won that years title after they cost him valuable points in the European Grand Prix (in which my hero Johnny Herbert won in a Stewart). Hakinnen was 5th in that race with Minardi’s Marc Gene 6th getting the all valuable last point. Even Jordan’s Frentzen was close to winning the title, winning 2 races taht year.

The Japanese GP which was the finale wasn’t a classic as Hakinnen just romped it from the start but as in the way that that season rolled into its finish id say it was memorable
