As to the debate about two moves etc - do we not think that this spoils it a little, let the drivers work it out for themselves. The only rule being no weaving.
The other strong defence this year was Seb against Lewis in Spain I think it was. That time around, the McLaren had the top speed, but the downforce on the Red Bull saw Seb pull away in the twisty bits.
All good stuff to watch.Opinions are like ar5eholes, everyone has one.

If we are talking about classic defensive driving in the sense of needing to block much faster cars with some very rough lines on the limit of rules... then the first ones to come to my mind are Hungary '06 (Schumacher's defence), some of Senna's driving in 1993 against Prost (in UK I think it was, also against Schumacher). Also how did Schumacher manage to keep Hill behind himself for so long at wet Spa in '95 on slick tyres, has also been awesome to watch.

Hill-Schumacher, Suzuka 1998
interesting was also Schumacher and Hakkinen fight at Malaysian GP in 1999. Schumacher was driving slowly to help Eddie Irvine get safe advantage.

Schumi on slicks holding up Hill on wets in Spa 1995.
Alonso beating Schumi to 2nd in Turkey 2006. A wide track where overtaking is possible and Alonso wasn't making questionable maneuvres.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

What was the race where Schumacher lost top gear but managed to maintain his position (I think he was probably leading leading)?

British GP 1968 when Chris Amon was up to break his GP win virginity but came across an inspired Jo Siffert in a Lotus 49, who held him off for over half the race.

Was Jarama 1981 the race where the BBC decided it was "cricket time" and left the nailbiter to show us the rain on the covers at Headingley? Or was that another race altogether?

Variety. With 4-5 tarmac rallies in calendar, it's good to have some successor to circuit-like Catalunya. Rally wasn't super interesting but wasn't that bad either, I liked saturday stages more....
