Formula 1 - looking back
I've probably transgressed the rules of 10 Tenths in posting the same topic in two different places (currently as well in F1) However:-
In 2000, in every Grand Prix a podium position was filled by someone racing 10 years later. OK the persons involved are Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello but this must be a unique piece of F1 history? In the era when I grew up this would be the same as Fangio, Ascari, Farina, Hawthorn, Prince Bira etc appearing in the 1963 Grand Prix season alongside Jim Clark, Graham Hill, John Surtees etc. Yes - I was fortunate enough to see Roy Salvadori (Crystal Palace 1963) who raced in the 1953 British Grand Prix. I also saw Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and Jeff Burton (Nascar Phoenix 1997) still racing 13 years later - but things are a bit safer nowadays. |

Yes this could be an interesting thread to develop, but could you perhaps suggest how or where you would like members to respond to, as the opening post is more of a summary/statement than promoting a debate?

Michele Alboreto; Chris Amon; Mario Andretti; and Rene Arnoux are four drivers whose careers spanned more than 10 years and that's just the As! Mind you none of them were lucky enough to have been driving the best car ten years on.
You could at a pinch include Dickie Attwood but since 1969 he's not been in FWUN. |
