    After one of the greatest years in F1 history it's pretty frustrating to think that we now have to wait another 113 days until Bahrain! It was a year filled with drama and intrigue and some of the best races in a long time.

    I decided to have a poll on my site to see what came out top. So what was everyone's favourite moments of the season?

    Mark Webber's crash in Valencia. Or, rather, the immediate aftermath... as Webber had the presence of mind to instantly throw his steering wheel from the car, thus letting everybody know that he was unhurt.

    I voted for the RB's in Turkey. It was one of the great WTF moments in the sport and something i'll remember for a long time.

    Rubens overtaking Schumacher despite being pushed into the wall on the straight. That took balls.

    Alonso not winning the championship :)

    Also the banter between Christian Horner and Eddie Jordan in Suzuka. Christian was saying how Jake shouldn't rush back as Lee was presenting to which Eddie said..

    EJ: "You be quiet you, you creep"

    CH: "My grandmother quite likes you Eddie"

    EJ: "I love grannies, don't you worry"


    That cracked me up something shockin.

    because i have an interest in Motorsport thats why. There was a question asked and i answered, nothing moronic about it, unlike your abusive posts :rolleyes:

    it also seems almost every post you've made here on boards insults someone i see a trend developing

    I did.

    Anyways, my favourite moment was the start of the Korean GP when Alonso was trying to get it called off and Hamilton was saying "Let's go"!!!

    I've really changed my opinion on Hamilton this year. I think the absence of his family in the pits and his relationship with Button has made him seem less of a pr*ck and more of a racer.

    He could yet become one of the great McLaren drivers.

    Webbers crash made me feel a bit sick the first time I seen it live. It's all well and good watching these crashes afterwards when you know that thankfully no-one got hurt. Watching them live though is a different matter. It was an unpleasant feeling.

    Yeah it was a horrible feeling. Must have been that feeling amplified x1000 for Sennas crash.

    Webber going totally bananas after winning Monaco, its great to see raw unchecked emotion from someone.

    ITS FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT AS I WAS WATCHING THE RACE LIVE. NOW TO BE HONEST IT DIDNT LOOK THAT BAD A CRASH TO BE HONEST AND I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE FINE. RATZENBERGERS CRASH OR WHEN THE CAMERA ZOOMED IN AFTER HE CRASHED I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG IMMEDIATELY AND RUBENS HAD AN AWFUL LOOKING CRASH THAT WEEKEND AS WELL. THE LATTER TWO SHUNTS ACTUALLY LOOKED WORSE THAN SENNAS. IN RECENT YEARS BY FAR THE WORST CRASH I HAVE SEEN WAS KUBICAS IN CANADA. I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT HE MUST BE DEAD. I EVEN SAID IT TO MY WIFE WHO WAS WATCHING THE RACE WITH ME. IT SHOWS HOW THINGS HAVE PROGRESSED FOR THE BETTER.

    SORRY FOR THE CAPS I HAD THEM ON BY MISTAKE!! :o

    Strangely enough, Senna's crash didn't look that bad. I'd seen much worse crashes in F1 by then so I just expected him to get out of the car and walk away...

    I was watching the trailer for the new Senna film and I think the bit that gets me is when you see them stretchering him into the helicopter. I can still remember seeing that all live. :(

    Funny, even as the crash happened I wasn't in the slightest bit worried for Webber, that's how much safety has moved on. The wall impact look to be the worst of it IMO.

    The last crash where I had a genuine worry for a driver was Kubica (in Canada iirc), he never should have been able to walk away from an impact like that

    Doubt it, at this stage he's the most hotly tipped guy for the AFS Racing seat in next year's IndyCar season.
