Oh, and the Monaco race when Mansell was climbing all over who I can't remember for lap after lap to try to win the race.

Yeah, and as it was pointed out, he did not manage because Monaco. Otherwise he would have breathed past as easy as Hamilton did assisted with DRS because his car was so much faster.
Dijon 79 is remembered for Arnoux - Villeneuve. What everyone forgets is that the 90% of the race before that clash was totally uneventful.
Other example: Suzuka 2000 was a total thriller despite no on track overtakes for the lead (and championship). Good racing does not need many overtakes, it needs equally fast cars and the chance that a pass might be on. Just as Silverstone presented us with in the last 10 laps this year.
Yes, that was assisted by the safety car due to drivers having crashed before. Otherwise it would have been quite boring for the lead. So what? That is not how it turned out.
