Believe it or not, there was a time when Formula 1 was a concept, the races were watched by tens of thousands of fans on the tracks and in front of the television, and the pilots gave joy to their fans through heated fights and horsemanship. Is it too pathetic? But where…
The current races of the "queen" of motorsport look roughly as follows – Mercedes wins Saturday's qualifying with a lead of a few tenths of a second (more recently Red Bull), the race starts and with a bit of luck the drivers circle the entire race in the same order. And when one overtakes the other, he uses DRS, and the overtaking maneuver suddenly becomes an overtaking maneuver.
One then remembers with great nostalgia the years of the past , when instead of tactics, racing took place, when the given pilot had to exert more effort in the desire to overtake someone, and when masters of the steering wheel sat behind the steering wheels of single-seaters, not paying rookies, for whom the seat was covered by a father who owns a multinational corporation (or a Venezuelan oil company). And exactly to this time between 2000 – 2008 , the witnesses of even older years will surely forgive, the following video is also set.
Its content includes important moments from the above-mentioned years – Michael Schumacher's five titles at Ferrari, the very dramatic year 2008, when it was still unknown in the last corner of the last lap of the last race of the season whether Felipe Massa or Lewis Hamilton was the world champion, Robert Kubica's severe accident in Canada 2007, the victory of Giancarlo Fischella in a crazy race in Brazil in 2003, Mark Webber's two points on his home track in 2002 in the colors of the then slowest Minardi, or Takuma Sato's wild ride in Canada 2007 in a slow Super Aguri, in which he even managed to pass Fernando Alonso in McLaren, the reigning world champion that season. And speaking of the Spaniard, do you remember his early days at Minardi?
And now compare these moments with today's era of formula 1 , which can no longer enjoy the title of the queen of motorsport. So if you don't consider reigning to be, in the vast majority of cases, boring circling around…
