And yet, Renault wonder why they have mediocre results on track. Definitely can’t be related to their poo poo management and attitude.

What's the one where schumi made 5 stops and basically ran at qualifying pace the whole race?

The must-watch Schumi race is France 1992.

After the restart Schumacher crashed out on the same corner again.

The Belgian one is infamous of course.
Canada and Silverstone were also good.
It was the first year on the narrower cars and grooved tyres, so there's not a lot of action overall unless something random was going on.

1999 is a better year from just McLaren and Ferrari and Jordan tripping over their own dicks all year and some truly terrifigingly bizzare results that make you question logic and reason.

1998 was pretty crushing domination by the McLaren because, stop me if you’ve heard this before, Adrian Newey got a new rules set absolutely right.

1999 is a pretty good sample of F1 batshit-ness, including car developments that get swiftly banned, plus a title challenge that goes to just about the wire.

The only reason McLaren won in 1998 was because coulthard crashed Schumacher at Spa.
In 1999 Schumacher broke Is loving legs and Irvine was a contender for fucks sake.

98 had more to do with Schumacher stalling on the grid of the final race than anything else. That wasn’t his finest hour.

HHF was a loving title contender in 1999. The Jordan had an engine built by 4 guys in a shed in rural Shizuoka and he was beating on factory cars.

The late 90s field was so bad outside of Mika and Michael that HHF, the definition of German Midfield Driver, was a championship contender.
For some reason I thought Kimi and Alonso started in 2000, but no, 2001

HHF had a bunch of talent that was never fully realized. I think his career was setback by his struggles in various F3000 series in the early 1990s. You also had really old 80s era drivers who were still winning races and scoring points regularly (500 year old Gerhard Berger won a race in 1997 for fucks sake, Brundle was still an upper midfield runner until his forced retirement, Alesi stuck around and was competitive forever as well.)


In hindsight Barrichello was also good.


Alonso, Kimi, and arguably even Montoya were the first drivers that could match Michael on skill after the death of Senna.

Rubens was cool. Massa too, really likeable lads. As much as I don't like Alonso (or Kimi), I won't disagree there, all three of them were pretty good.

Coulthard admitted it though (not that he was TRYING to take out MS, but that it was DC's fault): "The reality is, I lifted off to let him past me but I did it in heavy spray on the racing line. You should never do that. But in '98 I didn't have the experience and knowledge. I shouldn't have lifted on the racing line in the wet."
