Europe, Abu Dhabi, USA, Brazil from 2012, China and Canada from 2011, Australia and Canada from 2010, Brazil from 2008, Europe from 2007, Hungary and China from 2006, Japan from 2005.

Do you agree with me? Let’s write yours five-star races (based only by entertainment, tension, not by how your favourite driver feared)

I think you have covered most of the recent ‘great’ races.

Brazil ’09?, China 2012 (watching Kimi getting past by all those cars and Rosberg taking Mercedes first win). Spain 2012.

Υοu are very right! I just want to add Japan 2007 and Monza 2010. Not great entertainment but intense races.

I think of many others which are four or four and half stars, but these are the races where I was most entertained.

Surely Spa from 2008 has got to be a five-star race. Hamilton and Kimi going flat out for the whole race and it coming down to those dramatic last few laps were amazing.

Germany 2011. A great tussle between 3 different cars. Spa 2008 would be a contender (although the majority of the race wasn’t so thrilling), but it depends how much your enjoyment was reduced by Hamilton’s post-race penalty.

Austria 2003? Agree with Monza 2010 as intense as a grand prix gets, no room for error from Alonso and Button.

The European (Luxembourg?) GP from 1999 was pretty amazing, the race that no-one wanted to win!

And 1996 Monaco GP – the race that no-one wanted to finish!

The 1998 Austrian GP was good too, a storming drive from DC from the back of the pack to finish second (albeit he’d started 14th to boot!).

Germany 2011, Abu Dhabi 2012 and Canada 2010 are my best races of the last 3 seasons. Really enjoyable.

Japan 2005 was one of the most insane race weekends I’ve ever seen!
Melbourne 2008 and 2010 were special. 2008 because only 7 cars finished (off the top of my head) and the local newspaper came out the next day saying the crash-fest probably renewed interest and saved the race from moving elsewhere. 2010 because you just didn’t know what was going to happen next!
Brazil 2008 and 2012, Spa 2008, Canada 2011, Malaysia 2012, Valencia 2012, China 2011 and 2012, German GP at Nurburgring in 2011 was a pretty intense battle for the lead and Austin 2012 were all incredible races that stand out!

Don’t know how you guys remember so many specific races, my mind must be mush by comparison. Best I can say is that in terms of pure enjoyment (from F1) nothing has quite compared to when Ayrton was racing… Donington ’93 is one memory that stands out, but sadly most of the rest are a bunch of hazy snippets.
