I think it's like a lot of people have said, generally (and there are exceptions) when you're that ambitious it becomes a "Win at all costs" mentality. Just look at Schumi hitting the wall in Monaco. There's no way that you'd pre-plan something that ridiculous, that's the "in the moment" lack of for...

Got to see both in full for tgfe first time a couple of weeks ago. For a second there I misinterpreted that as the race and your wife :lol: That's a set up for so many humourous comebacks that I'm not even going to bother. Like Terry Wogan used to say, "It's like leaning against an open door."

Agreed. I remember watching that live, fantastic race. Watching it again, knowing what was coming, I couldn't figure out how he would do it. In fact I'm still astounded.

They also re-ran Damon's win at Spa in the wet for Jordan, after Couthlard epically took out half the field. Good times. That was one race I missed live as my mates and I were on the way back from a stag weekend. We stopped at a pub for a bite to eat where they had the race on - that crash had just...

She was there the time Kimi kept his foot down through the smoke - she could hear the engine approaching then he suddenly burst into view. Funnily enough, the Silverstone race you mention was rep...

A mate of mine races at an amateur level and has raced (or, at least, certainly driven) at Spa - somewhere is a great image of him coming up through Eau Rouge. That's the one circuit I'd love to visit.

I've been following F1 since the 80s and I still haven't been to a race.

The days of people setting lap records by taking a shortcut through the pits are long gone

I stumbled across this video about the evolution of pit stops last night. Quite an interesting watch (he's done quite a few good videos).

I'll believe that when it happens lol.

I think they mean raised rather than lifted.
