CC 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2005 Which season do you think, in your personal opinion, was the greatest and most thrilling season ever? Needless to say I enjoyed the 1997 season, not necessarily because of Jacques, but because it was such and open season where there were a number of contenders for every race and of course 1997 was one of the last seasons to be like this as soon regulations would come into place to make them slower and in my opinion anyway, less exciting.

It was close racing every weekend. I can't remember much of the 80's as I was too little then. But I think they were good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaciaj 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2005 I started watching F.1 when I was 8 (1993). Of the season I've watched my favourite one has been 1998 (Mika winning first title). The most spectacular have been 1997,2003 and 2005.The worst seasons have been 1994 (due to Senna and Ratzenberger's tragedies) and all the years between 2000-2004, apart from 2003 until last race.

AutoRacer5 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2005 2000-2004, 2000 especially because I attended my first gp that season. I liked certain points of other seasons, 1999 Nurburgring because Stewart won, and other various races, like Hungary 1998. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No sorry my memories go back a bit further to when the Grand Prix of Autralia was held at LONGFORD in Tasmania ! that was a "Road Course" through a town and countryside with Hay Bales for protection ummmmmmmmmm am I that old ? LOL nah that was never shown on TV was way before TV times LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was also the ugliest year for Schumi that he deserved. 2003 is also one of my favourites. Seeing michelin runners so competitive and suddenly dropped off the pace by the stupid FIA and Ferrari political influence. I sympathized Kimi for his misfortune due to the sudden change of tyre rule. Alonso should be blamed as well. If he didn't overtake the ferrari, the end result would be different. He shouldn't drive so fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AcrossTheSky 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2005 1982, Almost anyone could win. 1992, FW14B was an awesome car. 1999, Ditto 1982 to a slightly lesser extent. 2001, Alonso's debut year. 2002/4, Ditto 1992 but for F2002/F2004 2005, Alonso's debut year (here's hoping, please not Kimi) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ecapdeville 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2005 For me 1991 and 1992 were great, I went to the Mexican races all those years and I had the oportunity to see racing A.Prost, A.Senna, Patresse, Mansell, Berger, Piquet...well all the old great drivers. Of course 2005 is approaching fast to the number one season for me... Go Alonso! Go Renault! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wez 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2005 The best ever was probably '88, although dominated by the Mclaren team(They won 15/16 races). The racing between Senna & Prost was supperb, With Senna winning his 1st ever championship! Otherwise the '97 season was Awesome... The best part was Shumacher trying to blatently Cheat to win a championship agian (like he did in 94) , but it all backfired when he had to retire and JV took it in the last race... JUSTICE!

monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted August 10, 2005 The ones that stand out in my mind are 75 and 76 for Lauda and Hunt, 78 for Andretti ( I agree with Pumpdoc - the ground effect cars were beautiful ) and 82 for John Watson nearly becoming WDC. The turbos were mental, and great fun, and you can't miss out 86-89. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
