1991 - First season watching
1992 - First full season watching (plus Mansell's championship)
1993 - Can't put a finger on it, was just a fun season
1996 - Hill's championship
In recent times....hmm not many, 2004 was OK I guess...

As far as on-track battles are concerned, 2008. I have been watching since 2006, and the way that all the championship battles unfolded was fascinating even though there were many times where the racing itself was uninteresting.
Although I think the most interesting championship battle was 2006, simply because of a brilliant and solid season from both championship contending drivers.

1989, 1991, 1993, 2007, 2008. All great years for me. 2007 and 2008 deserve special mention because of the close finishes

1996 was the first.
1998, 1999, 2007 were MY best.
2008 was probably the most interesting but I didn't care much for either of the contenders so I wasn't that interested in the outcome of the championship.

1999 - terrific and dramatic year. 2003 was also amazing. But I like every F1 season, the sport is really fun

1996 - Villeneuve making an instant impact, Damon finally becomes champ, Monaco, Schumi demolishing the field in wet Barcelona.
1997 - Villeneuve/Schumi rivalry, Japan quali and the title showdown in Jerez ( )
1998 - Hakkinen wins his first championship, Schumi winning the British GP in the pits , that awful pile-up at Spa
2000 - Hakkinen makes a blistering start to the season and then Schumi fights back to make it a real fight, THAT move in Spa , Japan (somehow I'll always remember that race)
2003 - Alonso finishes 2nd in Barcelona and wins his first race in Hungary, laps Schumi, 3 way title fight, Kimi and Fernando show they will be future world champions, unpredictable races.
2005 - Alonso wins his first championship :worship:, last 12 laps of the San Marino GP, Japan, US GP fiasco , refreshing change to see Ferrari out of the championship running for the first time since 1996.
2006 - Schumi fight back after an astonishing start by Alonso, dodgy FIA decisions (mass damper banned under the wrong clause, Alonso's Monza penalty), Kimi relaxing on his yacht after blowing up in Monaco!, Schumi winning 8th French GP
2007 - Hamilton being the first rookie to challenge for the title since Villeneuve in 1996, title going down to the wire with a 3-way fight. Would've been a brilliant season if it weren't so controversial.Fernando Alonso :: Mika Hakkinen

Is this the year Leclerc gets to end his Monaco 'jinx'? The 26-year-old has yet to stand on his home podium in five attempts, four with Ferrari, but he can end that 'jinx' on Sunday. Published May...
