Those in our mid-20s and older look back on certain moment in F1 as those classic moments; Prost’s and Senna’s collisions, Mansell’s tyre blow-out, Villeneuve v Arnoux, etc. I was just curious which modern moments people think will be remembered like this in the same way we think of the 80’s in terms of classic moments.
For example, one I’ll put down as a classic (nowhere near as good as Gilles though) would be Schumacher’s and Hamilton’s multi-lap battle in China last year. Going back a little further, Schumacher stalling on the grid of the 1998 Japanese Grand Prix and blowing his championship chances, only to pass 2/3 of the grid in the opening stint and inject life back into the race.
I’d be particularly interested to hear from our younger f1fs about this.

28th October 2011, 9:43 at 9:43 am #183935LachieParticipantI’m in my mid-20’s but can’t look back further than ’99 without using YouTube. In any case without doubt one to add to the pantheon will be the last corner of Brazil ’08.

Spa 2008 was absolutely awesome
Monaco 2008 was pretty impressive too
Webbers crash at Valenmcia 2010
Korea 2010
Hamilton in China 2011
Vettel vs Button in Canada 2011
Vettel vs Alonso at Monaco 2011
Alonso’s starts at Barcelona and Monza this year were epic as well28th October 2011, 11:18 at 11:18 am #183938Jim1601ParticipantOne comes to mind straight away:
Spa 2000 – Hakkinen vs Schumacher and that overtake!!
28th October 2011, 11:52 at 11:52 am #183939vinicius.jlantunesParticipantWas it Turkey 2010 that VET and WEB collided? Well, the HAM vs BUT battle in the same race was quite cool

http://youtu.be/lyd5ftzINbsI was unable to watch F1 from 2006 to the middle of 2010 (only had Irish TV channels) so the above are the things I can recall best if you were to ask me about what happened before 2010. :)
28th October 2011, 19:59 at 7:59 pm #183942Joey-PoeyParticipantThe Hamilton/Raikkonen battle at Spa 2008, Vettel/Webber crash in Turkey 2010. And of most recent, I do think Button’s win in Canada will be seen as a classic simply because of how rare last lap passes for the win are and the fact that he did it with so many obstacles to overcome.
29th October 2011, 6:12 at 6:12 am #183943Ritvik VinodkumarParticipantMaybe Webber on Alonso at Spa 2011.

Suzuka 2000 has to be pretty iconic, Schumacher and Ferrari winning the title.29th October 2011, 16:38 at 4:38 pm #183946GeorgeParticipant@steph I remember that too, mostly because just before it Hamilton said something along the lines of ‘no one overtakes me around the outside’, I laughed my pants off when it happened :D
29th October 2011, 17:48 at 5:48 pm #183947EllParticipantCanada 07, a great day for me and Lewis.
Australia 07, loved it when Hamilton nabbed Alonso around the outside!!
Silverstone 03 was special, Alonso squeezed on the grass at 190 mph.
Brazil 08, Enough said.
Imola 05 and 06 was stunning. - AuthorPosts
