I think that fact that Rosset was over one second slower than his rookie team mate Sospiri was even more telling than the gap to Diniz's Arrows for Riccardo. That statistic alone really does show why Ken Tyrrell was so disgusted when BAR appointed Rosset instead of Verstappen to be Tyrrell's second driver in 1998, especially if you compare the two drivers' performances at Arrows in 1996.

Really nice recovery by Enrique Bernoldi after an idiotic attempt at overtaking by Felipe Massa.

The spin-turn was quite nice but I find it humourous that Bernoldi decides to re-enter the track by driving behind Massa so the Sauber can't drive straight into him again.

Nice of Buemi to try to recreate this at the GP this year wasn't it?

Next year, do you think someone will recreate the massive Piquet/Patrese crash from 84 if we ask nicely?

I'd perfer to see a Piquet-de Cesaris hairpin argument of 1988 or '89 which was described on an episode of Formula One Saga as 'arguing like Roman taxi drivers after interlocking wheels at Loews.'

Brundle was lucky he made it past the start/finish line and that nobody collected him off the start... Blundell was even luckier as not only did he keep it together (just) but the guys that started behind him gave him some room as well.

Not an F1 reject, but drove like one for a lot of his career, videos devoted to Rene Arnoux and the bad parts of his driving. Worst clip of all is Adelaide 88, that's in part 3. Monaco 89 is diabolical driving also, summed up excellently by James Hunt.

What is this?! You cannot have "double parked pit stops" as they call it, can you? That is ridiculous. If there is no space to queue up behind the car in the pit slot, a driver has to go round again. But what did they do? Open up a 2nd row and then when it was all jammed, push their way out. I wonder what the stewards said about this.

The stewards were rolling on the floor, laughing, so they probably couldn't say a thing anyway.

if I were a steward i'd be sitting on the floor crying, sobbing "we're so gonna get fired" over it.

Yep. I would have wept by my car if I'd lost 4th place in a Minardi, too

. From my favorite race though - such a rollercoaster of emotions!

As a Minardi fan, I was nearly crying too I can tell you. Needless to say this happened during an advert break on ITV in the UK, so I was even less pleased, as Murray' commentary was much less dramatic second time round than it was during the ad break (which is the first part of you tube clip, and it's the first time I've heard it, so thanks for the link

).

That was easily Badoer's best ever race in Formula 1, and it really was desperately sad for him and the team. The only good news was that Gené kept Irvine behind him for the last point, which allowed Minardi to finish ahead of BAR in the constructors championship and tie with Arrows, which I will always remember fondly.

by **Bleu** » 14 Jul 2009, 20:16

About 1999 standings interesting note is that if Ferrari's disqualification from Malaysian GP had stood, Minardi would have finished ahead of Arrows.

Gene was 9th in Malaysian GP and would have then been 7th. They both would have had one sixth place (de la Rosa/AUS, Gene/EUR) and one seventh place (Takagi/AUS, Gene/MAS) while Minardi was ahead in 8th places: Badoer had one in Imola and Gene one in Montreal while Arrows only had one with Takagi in Interlagos.

Oh yes, thank you for reminding me of that. I now have yet another reason to dislike Ferrari's special deal with the FIA, i.e. costing Minardi a position in the 1999 constructors' championship.

Yes. Antonio was doing a 2003 pre-season tour round the track with a rather unlucky journalist as part of his Jaguar PR duties...
