Thanks for that, an absolutely great piece of film, loved the stuff from about 4m48s; many, many excursions all round

Hamilton's hands on the wheel seemed incredibly smooth compared with Raikkonen who really seemed to be struggling; you can understand why he might want to move to WRC

By the time it cut over to Kimi in the video the rain was much heavier and there was far less grip.

I still love the bit where Kimi gets back past through the tiny gap between Hamilton and the backmarker, each time I rewatch the video I expect a crash.
Still gets the adrenaline pumping watching that clip

I hope it happens. Hamilton vs. Rosberg in 2010 would be awesome.

Has to be Mclaren?

Fantastic career move, that. Move to McLaren in order to play a second string character in the Lewis Hamilton Show. Stunning in its brilliance.

***edit***

Mind, shouldn't we keep this topic over in the F1 2010 thread?

 

[Duke]

Yep better keep to the other thread! Could a passing Don please move my reply to the 2010 thread please?

Following on from the Valencia thread, I was just about to post that again, you've beaten me to it

Rivage as always is very bumpy on the entrance, could catch a few people out.

If anyone's interested they're looping the highlights of all the classic grand prix on the red button channel at the moment.

It's all online too on the BBC website, the 1995 race is especially good with all the overtaking. The 1998 is interesting to watch with the start and then coulthard and schumacker coming together later on.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Just watched the highlights of 95, 98 and 2008
Great races all around. Love the amount of overtaking in 95, love the crash in 98 and love the chaos in 2008 at the end!

This weekend has a lot to live up to
