Hello,
I am new to both f1fanatic and f1 in general due to being an American and f1 getting little coverage. This year I have stayed up till the wee hours of the morning when necessary to watch every race and look forward to f1fanatics pre and post race articles that have helped me get a handle on f1. Now, with the summer break, I need some recommendations for great races to watch until Spa! So I ask for your help and suggestions of the most exciting, entertaining, important, legendary, turned-you-onto-f1 races that you can think of. I greatly appreciate any and all suggestions!
P.S. I’ve already watched Monaco 1984 (epic) and am planning on watching Japan 1989, Brazil 2008, and Spain 1996 very soon.
Suzuka has lots of classics…
Japan 1994 – for the one-off suspense created by aggregate timing and Hill trying to keep the championship alive.
Japan 2000 – Schumacher wins first championship for Ferrari after great battle with Hakkinen
Japan 2005 – excellent overtaking manoeuvres involving Raikkonen and Alonso.
Others…
Spa 2000 – Hakkinen vs Schumacher
Imola 2005 – Alonso vs Schumacher
Europe-Nurburgring 07
Malaysia 2009
Monaco 2008
I liked Italy-Monza 1988
Canada 2005.
I liked Monza 2006 as well.
Silverstone 2007 *Massa charge through the field* :P
Spa 98
Mexico 1990.
Dijon 1979.
Japan 2007.
Brazil 2006 – Schumi fighting back. Brazil 2007- it’s Hamilton’s turn.
I couldn’t say from 1979-1995 but my era (1996 – onwards) These are the most memorable races.
Monaco 1996
Hungary 1997 (heartbreaking but unforgettable)
Spa 1998
Nurburgring 1999
Spa 2000
Malaysia 2001
Brazil 2003
Suzuka 2005
Hungary 2006
Nurburgring 2007
Monza 2008
Spa 2008
Brazil 2008
Australia 2010
China 2010
Montreal 2010
Hmmm. I’ll take care of retro for you.
1. Monaco 1982 – The race no one wanted to win.
3. USA West 1983 – Greatest come-from-behind win.
4. Spain 1986 – Mansell vs. Senna decided by inches.
5. Australia 1986 – What a way to decide the title.
6. Britain 1987 – All about Our Nige.
7. Monaco 1988 – Senna’s exception to the rule.
8. Belgium 1992 – Michael Schumacher’s coming-out party.
9. Europe 1993 – F1’s only-ever race at Donington Park. Lap 1 = required watching for any F1 fan.
10. Belgium 1995 – Schumacher vs. Hill in a nutshell.
Races that haven’t been said yet:
Australia 2003
Belgium 2004
Malaysia 2005
Monaco 2005
Monaco 2006
Turkey 2006
China 2007
Britain 2008
Japan 2008
China 2009
Brazil 2009

2006 Hungary. I’ve been harping on about it a lot recently (it was just the Hung GP afterall) but the first lap by Alonso is a cracker, the best ever.
Canada 1978
Spain and Monaco 1981. So the same driver won but he really shouldn’t have.
China 2006? I quite liked it myself

BRAZIL 2003
USA 2007
CANADA 2007
USA 2003
BRITAIN 1986

Thanks for all the help so far! I’m ordering a huge external hardrive so I can download all of these. It seems that theres a ton of catching up for me to do and I can’t wait to get to it! There seems to be so many good races from 2008 I plan on watching the whole season from start to finish since pretty much every race has been mentioned lol. Can’t wait for Spa and whatever shenanigans we’ll get treated to this time
