As 2000 decade is now almost on its toes,we are looking at the F1 picture of the decade.
Someone has rightly quoted that:<blockquote>"A picture speaks a thousand words"</blockquote>,so tell the picture which you think can wrap up the whole decade. Choosing a picture which can tell about whole decade would be impossible,so lets look for the best F1 pictures of the decade.
Kindly provide the link of the picture or embed the picture..
Good thread to celebrate New year 2010 :)
CAUTION: NOT SUITABLE FOR MINORS

I don't think that any picture might deserve the name "picture of the decade". There are only 3 or 4 drivers who drove the whole decade (JB, NH, RB, out of the top of my head) and they were not the main characters of the decade by far. A picture of the MS era will not have LH in it (well, maybe in the grandstands ;) ), etc.
By the way, I'm fairly sure the same can be said of any decade.
The spring that almost made Massa'as a cyclops is a very scary picture but just shows how strong helmets are.

Good point. I used to say that a lot, but then I kind of got tired. Like trying to explain the majority that the new millenium started on Jan 1, 2001 :mark:Quote:

It depends where the zero is placed - for those mathematically inclined, and that is nice way of saying "logically", zero comes before ONE and not after NINE.Quote:

For me the picture of the decade is conceptual and therefore a driver does not need to have articipated over the entire decade.
There is only one concept for me that stands out and is representative in direct contrast to so many other drivers or in this case champions.
It is the picture of Michael Schumacher, who after so many victories and championships would still climb on to the top step and be as happy and delighted at his achievement.
What would you call that decade, then, if it exists. Decades are referred to as e.g. the twenty-tens, nighteen-eighties etc. and to have those include a last year completely not matching that pattern would be foolish. If we had talked about decades in the same terms as centuries or millennia you might have a stronger point. The 210th decade still has a year left (if I did the maths right), but nobody cares about that.Quote:

Unfortunately, Austria -02 was came immediately to my mind when thinking about significant moments of the last 10 years in F1. It was Schumacher's decade, and that is the defining Schumacher moment for me
And at the age of 41 is now set to be counted in this new decade, until 2012!Quote:

These references are frequently used to encapsulate pop culture or other widespread phenomena that dominated such a decade, as in The Great Depression of the 1930s. For example, the decade commonly referred to as the "two thousands" ends on December 31, 2010. Some writers[5] like to point out that since the common calendar starts from the year 1, its first full decade contained the years from 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on. The interval from the year 2001 to 2010 could thus be called the 201st decade, using ordinal numbers.
Let's settle this once and for all. From this moment forth, the next decade shall begin on April 18, 2014, and all subsequent decades shall begin on April 18 in years ending in 4. That way, none of those "end of decade" reviews will get lost in the midst of "end of year" reviews. Simples :)
If the year 2000 was not the start of a new decade it would be pointless celebrating the mellenium.
Logically speaking, it was pointless celebrating the new millenium as beginning at 2000 as it didn't start until 2001. You would had simply been celebrating year 2000, not the new millenium. People were mesmerized by the flipping from 1999 to 2000 and the Y2K flop. That led people to see 2000 as the beginning of the new millenium, while it technically wasn't.Quote:

We are now in the "teenies" - 2010-2019. Based simply on the numbers 10-19.
Just like 00-09, 90-99 and 80-89. The year 1990 is not classed as the "eighties".
Thats the way it is. Stop trying to be overly clever and get over it.
My F1 picture of the decade:
Lewis Hamilton as youngest F1 world Champion in 2008 after Brazilain GP.
I almost cried in those last 2 laps..

Err, a picture of a winning Ferrari? This is the first thing that comes to my mind if I'm trying to visualize the noughties.
My personal favourite pic of the decade
