I remember someone crashing (and 'someone' doing a stop-and-go just after he crossed the chequered flag ) in the pitlane during Silverstone '98. I believe it was one of the backmarkers, I think of Nakano or Takagi, who damaged his rear-wing. And at Nurburgring in the early 2000's with one of the jag...

Nowadays I rarely have dreams about F1. But in the past when I had more of them I wrote some of them down. One dream was about the Monaco GP. Mika Häkkinen driving very Bad, while Michael Jackson was doing well and also won the thrilling race. Another dream was about searching for some interesting b...

How many races did a driver lead the WDC from 1950 till 2013? I counted it with looking at the standings after every race and got some predictable, but also some funny results. For example: I never knew John Surtees only led one race and that one was at the right moment: after the last race in 1964,...

The finish of Austria 2002. Especially the way Schumacher tried to make it up with the angry crowd, letting Rubinho stand on the top-spot of the podium and handing him the trophy for the first place.

Somewhere in 1993 my dad was watching F1 but I wasn't taking much attention of it, I rather played with Lego. But in 1994 (I was 8) the first race got me by the big crash of Verstappen.

Nah. It'd had been pouring down with rain for the past week before the race and in order to avoid the chaos up front, Heidfeld and Panis took to the grass. With predictable results. :lol
