Apparently an objection to this thread has been lodged by a Spanish gentleman, a Senor Al Onslow.
He says the overtake was planned well in advance (3 months?) and had nothing to do with any radio transmission. Besides, he says, fans say we need more overtaking in F1.
He has no regrets about the manner of his win and instead of being a hollow victory he says it was his most deserved win since Singapore in 2008, you know the one...when his Renault team mate deliberately put it into the wall to enable Al Onslow to win. I'm just surprised he isn't sponsored by Teflon.
As mitigation Ferrari say it's a team sport and that a 1-2 finish was the aim. Hang on, a 1-2 finish was always likely, hopefully the FIA will be brave enough to reverse the finishing order.
Great Top Gear feature on Senna, one forgets just how good he and others were in the years when engine power outshone fairly crude chassis.
Hamilton in his element even at , what 80%, and driving on an empty track.
Well done turbo11 for building the car and gearbox, the gearbox must have taken a tremendous beating with all that power being put through it and the occasional missed gear by drivers in those days.
F1 engines scream, they don't drone, as anyone who attends a GP without ear-defenders will vouch, races can be dull though..but Ferrari can fix that.
Hungry for the next GP
