So, I'm a returning F1 fan; I watched a bunch when Schumacher was on his streak. And then didn't get back into it until 2020 (pandemic boredom maybe?).

What I haven't done is seen a lot of classic races; I've seen footage here and there. I watched the Senna documentary. But I haven't seen many of the "Best of" races. I was hoping some of the long-time fans would post their favorite 10 races to recommend that a fan watch for the first time. So no spoilers please.

I know its a copout, but the whole 2008 season whole 2012 season and whole 2021 season are fantastic viewing. 2010 was a close championship but a lot of of the individual races weren't great.

Other than those, Canada 2011, Monaco 1996, Monaco 2011, Hungary 2021, Italy 2020, Italy 2021, Brazil 2021, Sakhir 2020 all come to mind.

Edit: I added 2021 to my first paragraph after including some races in my 2nd. Mb.

Replying to my own comment to add Turkey 2020, a lot of the early 2011 races because the Pirelli tyres were cheese so the racing was mixed up, China 2011 I remember well. Brazil 2003, Germany 2019, Italy 2010, Monaco 1982, Europe 1993, Belgium 1999, Belgium 1998, Australia 2010.

If I think of any others I'll add them :D
