Almost anyone that follows F1 knows this story, including myself. But I’m watching this right now and emotionally I feel like this is the first time I’ve ever watched this. Every incident feels like it just happened even though it obviously happened long ago. It’s intense!

...I blame Murray Walker and his excitable voice

Thank goodness F1 broadcasters used high quality cameras (film stock?) back then.  The picture quality on YT is 1080p and not the 480i standards of the day.

Rain at Spa? Park it.

David Hobbes loved to use that quote, but I don’t remember who said it. I saw this post yesterday, and was going to ask if this was the race with the epic lap one crash. I started watching it tonight and yes, it was. I remember watching this race live back in the day. This was my favorite era from when I started watching in the mid 90s. Love seeing Damon Hill and the Jordans, the Williams in the Winfield livery, Jackie Stewart and his team. Good times. Thanks for the reminder.
