And anyway, I'm sorry - but you're talking rubbish :) This is not vintage F1. This is not vintage racing. It's good, as modern F1 goes. In fact, it's pretty damned good.

I felt that last year was one of the best year's F1, I've seen. For me, it ranks up there with 1998, 1991 and 1992 (Mansell fans only). The title went right down to the wire and you most importantly you had 2 guys with genuine dislike for one another, in the same team, who were both super quick.

But it is not the best F1 season in my memory, and I have a distinct suspicion that if you polled the entire OcUK membership it isn't the best for a significant number of them either.

People always have a habit of looking back at past experiences with rose-tinted specs. They forget the worst parts and only remember the best parts. This year is pretty good (mainly due to the wet races and Hamilton's ability in them)...it cerrtainly isnt not bad.

I'm not sure, you know. I think he does hold back. He certainly doesn't throw everything on the line like Mansell did. I watched my '87 British GP tape the other day - Mansell drops back with a vibration (missing wheel weight), has to make an unscheduled tyre change. ends up ~30 seconds behind Piquet with 28 laps remaining. Guess where he ends up?

By lap '59, he'd dragged himself right onto the gearbox of Piquet. He did his patented move - a quick weave on the Hangar Straight and then diving inside at Stowe, and thrusted through. He ran the last two laps with the fuel gauge reading empty, and ran out on the slowing down lap.

I know of this race. However, Mansell didnt do this in his 2nd season. Also, in modern F1 racing, this is VERY unlikely to happen now. It "might" happen in the rain, where a driver might be 1-2s faster than everybody else on the track, however, on a dry track, it probably wont. Hamilton is the most likely person to achieve this sort of feat. And my gut tells me it will happen when Alonso is leading a race.

I'm sorry, I know I'll cop hell for it.....but Hamilton isn't in that league quite yet.

He is in that league, but he hasnt yet been given the opportunity to show such pace. We have seen glimpses though, in wet races. Mansell was something else and shouldnt really be compared with anyone else - he was eyeballs out and to hell with everything and everyone else. This, IMO, was why he didnt win more world titles. Prost on the other hand, was the total opposite and thought only about the final WDC standings, which meant he was terribly unexciting. They called him "the Proffessor", due to his calculated approach.
 
"it reminds me of Le Mans..."

uh... wtf?

Sports cars with lights driving round completely dark track.... Open wheeled F1 cars with no lights driving round a track under lights that make it look like daylight?
 
One of the biggest farseicle penalties handed out by the FIA (heidfeld) completely glazed over by ITV as it didnt involve Hamilton.

And Shilpa Shetti... From BB. Completely forgetting shes one of the worlds biggest Bollywood actresses. Roll on some decent BBC coverage
 
"hi, who the *** are you!"
