Minardi fan returns! Welcome home old chum!

Can't be bothered to list five, so I'm just gonna give me fav.

1. Hokkenheim (yes I KNOW its easy for the drivers, but it ALWAYS gives a good race as drivers slipstream each other down the straights. Look it makes a change from the MILLIONS who ALL say "Spa""Spa""Spa".....)

2. Ferrari. Because....

3. Ferrari. Because....

4. Eddie Irvine actually posseses a degree of personality. As does Jacques.

5. Oooo... errr.... crickey.... Gilles?? I dunno.

Panis winning at Monaco
...actually several of this year's races have been pretty good. (cop out. sorry)
