    In a time when I actually watched. I remember it.
    I like these cars better than the current cars. Must be old age.

    Yes. And Mercedes are basically taking the mickey out of us for watching these days.
    Last weekend for example how can LH be 1.3 secs ahead of VB before the end of lap #1 ,equal drivers equal cars.

    As for the 'for the fans' BS. Reminder to F1.....very are few left.

    Well, yes it was raining and there were five running at the end according to one source. Patrese had restarted after killing it at Loews corner and came around to win. What a crazy finish. second and third place cars I believe were stationary at the end but still got their place because they threw the checkered when the winner crossed and did not allow lapped cars to keep going.

    471,000,000 unique television sets watched an F1 race last year. Probably worth calling it "very few left"

    That princess has a couple of F1 podiums notched up. He's not that far off the pace; not Checo, but not far off.
