The night before I watched the 1998 Hungarian Grand Prix which I personally regard as probably being Schumachers best ever race.
I have them recorded on VHS and, apart from some pretty awful commentating, something really stuck out to me and it was really refreshing:
NO MEDDLING BY THE STEWARDS!
The drivers just raced and trusted in each other to do this. No drivers afraid to make an overtake in case the Stewards handed them a drive through or anything like that - simply racing.
Both these GP were the best races I've watched in a few years.
I never realised how much stewards meddling repulses me until I watched these GP last night and simply sat back and enjoyed a race for what it should be - a race. I long for the return of these days where drivers raced and racing incidents was just that - a racing incident. No meddling from third party's, just drivers with their balls to the walls flat out.
