how cr@p is F1

[DaveD]

I first started getting into it when I caught a race with Piquet and somebody else swapping the lead at every corner.......Mansell was the most boring guy ever off track but brilliant on it......I remember a nice policeman stopping me to tell me I was a right James Hunt............

I remember watching Manssell at Brands Hatch in the previously mentioned Lotus Renault, coming out of Dingle Dell with foot hard to the floor and then the turbo cutting in and all He** breaking loose as he fishtailed down the next straight. Now thats what I call driving. And Keke Rosberg was Awsome especially in the wet - he used to prove why Finns make such great rally drivers - car control that made Senna and Schuey look like amateurs.

Anyone remember the pre Senna days - talking Nelson Piquet, Alan Jones, Keke (the complete nutter) Rosberg, Mansell in a Lotus Renault with epic Turbo Lag and flames shooting out the back.

Now that was exciting, even went to see it at Brands Hatch - that was when they ran the British Grand Prix at an exciting track when you could drive your car onto the grass by the track and watch it in comfort, then walk around the track and watch from different areas - and it didn't cost the price of a small Semi Detatched house to get in either.

God I'm old

F1 was at its greatest in those days!

Here`s some proper F1, not to everyones taste but more action in one race than a whole season of F1GP and proper engines too.
