F1 Review 2001
Overview: What a season! Records tumbled, new boys rocked the establishment and one man wrote his name into the history book, Michael Schumacher - 9 wins, 123 points and 14 podium finishes! Not that he had it all his own way. The tyre war between Bridgestone and Michelin sent lap times tumbling and helped Williams break the stronghold of Ferrari and McLaren. 3 wins for Ralf made it 12 in total for the Schumacher family in 2001. Juan Pablo Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen staked their claims as stars of the future and Fernando Alonso shone at Minardi after they just made it in time for Australia. And if you though the return of traction control in Spain would take the edge off the racing, think again.

F1 Review 1999
Overview: 1999 saw Formula 1 celebrate 50 years as the World’s top motor racing series. The season was a classic and a worthy milestone, the most open in years, producing six winners and four title contenders. In the early rounds the Championship was fought out between Mika Hakkinen and Michael Schumacher until the German's accident at the British round. Ferrari, who had a real possibility of winning the Drivers' World championship, were despondent but they had not taken into account Eddie Irvine rising to the challenge. In the end the Championship went down to the wire at the final race in Japan where Hakkinen and Irvine fought a psychological and tactical battle dividing the Drivers' and Constructors' Championship between them.
