F1 Fanatic

The first few that spring to mind across different series:

1989 Hungarian Grand Prix

2000 CART Michigan 500 (can’t embed this one):

(Note how much better team radio was in CART 12 years ago than F1 today – lots of it and in real time. Also a cameo performance from Tarso Marques the year before he was Fernando Alonso’s team mate at Minardi)

Lots of other great ones suggested by people above: Suzuka ’05 is probably the best of recent years I reckon, Canada ’11 was pretty special too, could have done with a bit less of the safety car though.

My favourite race ever was quite unusual because I wasn’t watching the actual race at the time.

It was the 2011 Chinese Grand Prix. I had just moved house and my telly or internet hadn’t been sorted properly, so way I was keeping track of the race was by the F1 Fanatic live stream and my Twitter feed. I never saw any coverage of any part of the race that weekend. It was THE most exciting race I had never seen, ever.

I did get to check out the review of the actual race on Sky F1 this year, but that was the first time I’d ever seen any on track action from that race, and it just confirmed to me, that the race was in fact, an absolute stormer!!

@raymondu999 I think you might be refering to France 2004 where Schumacher beat Alonso with the four stop strategy.

@damonsmedley Turkey 2009 is the main reason why.

It also pretty much threw Webber, a guy whom I used to like a while back, into the one category of people that I cannot and will not ever appreciate. Then again, I don’t think he (or Red Bull, or McLaren, or Ferrari, or anyone else) ever expected Vettel’s car to be so unreliable compared to his own.

This is how it’s done kids! The 1986 Australian Grand Prix.
Highlights, with Clive James The full race is available, in several parts – but the delightful FOM TV have removed the important bits.

This was the mother of all title deciders, I remember getting up in the night hoping to see my first British world champion.

@Slr that may be it. Don’t really remember I’m afraid.

While no fan of Webber, the same has to be said about Hungary 2010.

@Pamphlet you mean when Seb was told “Save your car, Mark is faster?”

Being a fan of full-wet races too (races where dry tyres don’t feature) I loved Korea 2010 (Vettel’s engine failure sort of suppressed the memory of the race though) Monza 2008, China 2009, Silverstone 2008, Fuji 2007
