Which are your top 5 ever Grand Prix?
(They have to ones you watched yourself on TV on in person, much as you might like to say Nurburgring 1957, or Dijon 1979).
For me they are:
1. Germany 2000 - Rubens' first win. Still makes me well up
2. Belgium 1998 - The race that got me into F1. Biggest pile up ever
3. Brazil 2003 - Pure unpredictability
4. British 2003 - Idiot on the track. Killer race
5. Japanese 2000 - Proper nailbiter. Ferrari finally do it.
Honourable mentions:
1 Malaysia 2001 - Speedboat race 2 America 2001 - JPM's move on Michael, Mika's last win. 3 Brazil 2000 - Generally great race 4 Nurburgring 1999 - I think I was leading this race at one point. Most people were! 5 Australia 2003 - It all kicks off

Oooh great topic - this is a difficult one to narrow down!!! Clearly i will have a number of honourable mentions but theres my top five... 1. Hungary 2006 - Buttons first win, i was there, and i have never been so nervous duing a race i think as those final 12 laps or so!! Down for the podium celerations and everything! Unbeleivable - maybe a bit biased with this one because we were there BUT of all the racs i have watched since 1995, this one stands out the most! 2. San Marino 2001 - Ralf's first win, nothing too special about the race, but yes i did actually have a tear in my eye when i watched this! 3. Spa 1998 - Obvious reasons - what a race, one of the most memorable for so many people! Chaos at start, Schumi and DC's little coming together, Jordan 1-2 (and their darn team orders that stopped Ralf getting his first win!) 4. Brazil 2003 - Chaos, brilliant!! Although how someone who brought out the red flags to end the race can be allowed a podium is beyond me - stupid rule!!! 5. Suzuka 2005 - One of THE best comeback drives i have ever seen- both Kimi and Alonso!! Alonso's move on Schumi round the outside of 130R, and Kimi's move on the last lap Honourable mentions: Nurburgring 1999 - i agree Kev, pretty much everyone led, including Ralf but with about 6 laps to go he got a puncture!! Gutted!!! Brazil 2009 - Oh i couldnt breathe during the first few laps! Settled down a bit mid race, hence why not a top five, but my goodness will i always remember that one! Brazil 2008 - Likewise with 09, the race as a whole was good, but not spectacular - but the last bit!!! Also highlighted the mature and incredibly sporting Massa, who gained a whole heap more respect after the way he handled the defeat. Spa 2000 - forever remembered for Hakkinen's overtake of Schumi, round Zonta! Brazil 2006 - Massa's first win at home, Schumachers last race etc... Hungary 1997 - Aww i think everyone watching wanted Hill to win!! Monaco1996 - Three finishers wasnt it!! Unbeleivabubble!! I'm sure there are plenty more that i am just forgetting, but those are the ones i can remember off the top of my head!!!

Funny how so many of these are wet races. I don't think any of us would subscribe to artificially wetting the track, would we? Nonetheless, when it rains at a GP, my heart rate goes up about 20bpm
In other news, where has all my karma gone?
