Every Formula 1 champion's run up the Goodwood Hill

Pretty cool montage of F1 WDC's driving up Goodwood Hill, surprised Lauda didn't wear his traditional helmet but an all black helmet.
What's pretty rare is Jenson Button driving a FW08 car (Keke Rosberg's) with ground effects skirts!!

30 years since Senna died tomorrow, still remember I was at my in-laws Fernandina Beach house in Florida when the news was announced.

I'm up to 1990, to see them lapping Imola & knowing what's coming.

Still working my way through the F1 archives.
Just finished the 1998 Belgian GP
Apart from the $10M pileup at the start & Mika getting tagged in the 2nd start. Shocking that the 3-wheeler could make it the 1/2 lap back to the pits.

My wife and I intended on going to that Belgian GP but our passports got delayed and we had to switch our tour from that to the Italian GP. It didn't suck that Ferrari came in 1-2 (Schu/Irv) nor did it suck that we got to eat dinner with Phil Hill 2x. I sure was glad we weren't in Belgium for that race! The classroom we use for HPDE's at the Glen used to be where the F1 Drivers' meeting took place, check this out

Love that photo. Back when the drivers weren't egotistical prima donnas. Strike that, they were egotistical prima donnas, but they aren't spoiled pampered brats. No luxury sofas. People sitting on side tables and folding chairs. Love it.
