Thanks! Added to my watch list for weekends where thereβs no race
Suzuka 2005 is an all time classic so I would start there.
If you've managed to stay unspoiled about it, you could honestly just watch the entire 2012 season start to finish. Plenty of great races and many people hold it as their favorite ever season.
I second this, it was the first race that came to mind.
I just finished Suzuka 2005. Holy snort! That was an amazing race... those passes... goodness....
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's a spectacular one for sure. For me, Suzuka 2005 is like a perfect benchmark/introduction to Formula 1. If someone doesn't enjoy that race, this sport is just not for them (which is also fine, it's not for everyone!).
Considering how terrifying passing on the outside 130R is in the simulator, I can't imagine doing it IRL in that era F1 car. Such good racing. Thanks for the recommendation.
I know who wins WDC but I donβt know how. Iβll give it a shot.
Brazil 2012
Tbh I think F1 is not a sport you can watch on an event basis. I would recommend to seek out a season and watch it on the off weekends. Like 2012 for example or 2009. But one race is mostly boring.
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
Germany 2019 was a banger.
Thanks!
Thanks everyone for their suggestions!
