Favourite SPA Moments
Mine has to be that move on Schumacher by Hakkinen in 2000, i remember this one well and was where i fell in love with F1.
I had just started racing myself in 2000 aged 11 and started watching F1 then and have done ever since. When i got home i stuck that GP on as my grandmother had taped it for me and the lap before the move my dad was poiting out how hakkinen was in the slipstream and would have a go at the end of the straight and then scumacher moved over and he was moved onto the grass. Then a lap later it happened, and my dad said you have just seen something very special there and from then on i was McLaren Mad and it was the first GP i watched from start to finish. Sorry for the nostalgia but that is my favourite Spa moment. |

So many to choose from! I'll go for Jordan getting their breakthrough 1-2 - after Schumacher trying to throttle DC!

Spa 1998, the huge ho-down at the start, the Jordan 1-2, a three-wheeling Schumi.
It just had everything. So three moments in one Spa Grand Prix. |

I was tempted to say that one as well because i have seen that GP but it was a tape a mate lent me. I picked 00 because it was an apt first GP to watch and it was like the perfect advert for F1.
98 did have evrything in 1 race though i must admit |

last couple of years have been exciting.
2009 - Fisi puts a Force India on pole. 2008 - Hammy and Kimi's last couple of laps duel. (maybe one of LH best races and still bothers me that he was dropped down by the stewards) reall looking forward to this year

1998 - I remember, this was when I was really starting to try and follow F1 a little more. My uncle (who got me in to it), told me he was going to Spa, so I knew I had to catch this one. First of all, I remember my mum being quite amused at how appauling the conditions were as my Uncle was in an un-roofed grandstand. Then, you had the pile up, which is still one of the biggest in F1 history. Then you had Damon Hill go on to lead a Jordan 1-2. Very, very memorable. Oh, and did I forget to mention a certain near punch-up between two angry racers?
 2000 - Schuey/Hakkinen - 'Nuff said. 2008 - One of my favourite last (ish) lap battles. Had me literally standing on my sofa (yes..) shouting, just witnessing this legendary battle. If you think i'm overreacting, just go back and watch those last couple of laps. Seriously heart pounding stuff, and reminded me what F1 was about. We later saw that year another contender for most epic final lap at Brazil... 2009 - Special mention for Giancarlo Fisichella sticking the Force India on pole, in what was one of the most bizarre poles in recent history. Plus it was a tremendous finish for 2nd place. Cannot wait for this race. Shame I won't have my full 3 screen (main feed, on-board, and track map) empire as I will be at my girlfriends, so a tiny screen will have to suffice! Selby |

As far a recent Spa moments go, 2004 is a often overlooked. A cracking race!

Anything from the old Spa....
Most of 1998.... especially when Schumi had his life saved by the McLaren mechanics who frog marched him out of their pit garage after MS came mincing down pitlane threatening all sorts of things. Although secretly I would much have preferred to see Michael break his hand trying to crack one on DC's jaw, and would have loved to see DC, known to be a bit on the tough side, lay Michael out with a quick 1-2. Plus of course the Mika move on Schumi must be one of the all time great moves. I also must admit to having a quiet chortle when Michael cuffed a helmeted Sato as he sat in his car having IIRC run into Michael at an SC restart. (maybe in 05?) |

This will no doubt stir up some acrimony, but I thought Kimi's drive last year was pretty special.

It was special in a way as he was allowed to pass on the grass without receiving a penalty. Oh, and the car was really, really terrible as well, but he still managed to hold that Force India behind himself, mostly because of KERS

But then KR had become the undisputed SpaMeister over time, only failing to win the race three times from his debut in 2001, when the gearbox broke on his Sauber at the start, and the following year, 2002, when the McLaren (Merc) engine cried enough. The only other race he ever lost there was when Ferrari refused his request for wets in the 2008 race when it rained at the end and Kimi ended up in the wall. For sure I will miss not seeing Raikkonen at Spa this year. |

The Hakkinen move was great, but the Spa race for me is 1992 with MS's first win, my first motorrace race (cause Murray was screaming about this young new kid) which got me interested in F1, then motorracing, then marshalling and all these years later a wonderful wife (met on the banks) and beautiful kids and wonderful friends. All thanks to Michael!

As for favourite Spa moments I'd have to say 2008 or the massive pileup in 1998, they're the ones that really stick in my head. Although it was really neat to see Fisi grab pole last year. Ah Spa, what a wonderful place.

Raikkonen 2009 was a great race in a terrible car and a parting F$%^ you to Ferrari i felt, while he never said it there was some frustration and anger in the mind of the Iceman when Teflonso took his ride.
The "Overtake" in 2000 was very special no doubts one of the best ever F1 moves. |

My personal favourite was Villeneuve and Zonta binnig the Williams cars in consecutive practise sessions in 1999 after promising each other they would take Eau Rouge flat without lifting off! Thankfully neither was hurt! Last truly motor racing competition i've heard of in F1! Last edited by wnut; 20 Aug 2010 at 07:09. |

That was more of an ego driven dick measuring contest than a motor racing competition imo :P
