In his 90th birthday year, no less.

Same here. Cristiano Da Matta, Ralph Firman, Justin Wilson... it seems like a lifetime ago! And they're talking about Barrichello being "inexperienced"!

Justin Wilson was king for the first laps.

Ralph did a great job in Spain.

Da Matta lead the British GP for 20 odd laps


So many memories. It was one of my top 5 seasons since watching F1.

It still seems very recent to me. I remember it all very well. I remember the result of the top of my head
1.Coulthard - 11th on grid
2.Montoya - started 3rd - spun at turn 2 near end
3.Raikkonen - 15th - had to make extra pit
4.M.Schumacher - Pole - scrappy race
5.Trulli - 12th
6.Frentzen - 4th
7.Alonso - 10th - lost out after early damp
8.R.Schumacher - 9th - much worse than Schu Sr
9.Villeneuve - 6th
10.Button - 8th - furious about Villeneuve's alleged mind-games, holding up in pits a la Alonso.

Rubens was the first retirement crashing at turn 5 on lap 5. Blamed the new HANS device. Fisichella and Verstappen retired near the end.
:D

Also I was watching a bit of the 1995 Australian GP on youtube and found it quite amazing that that season is now 18 years ago!

Seriously though that is great recall, Schumacher also had all the barge boards falling off his car.

The BBC's season preview show for anyone interested.

I still have that on video somewhere, I've watched it many times!

I've just noticed that the BBC isn't covering Monaco live this year :(

I don't think that's a particularly bad thing Mark. Highlights for that race will cut out a lot of the dead laps and with Monaco there's usually plenty. Monaco is usually a race which I fast forward through a little when watching delayed anyway.
