So with the 2021 Belgian Grand prix bringing an end to the summer break, I decided to have a little look back to the past... and to one of, if not the biggest crash in Formula One History, at the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix. Here's my take on that whole weekend!

This GP is remembered in Italy for the biggest jinx a commentator has ever done in a f1 race. At the beginning of the race he said "tutto regolare fino a questo momento" which is "it's all ok up untill now" a second before Coulthard crashed into everyone.

You forgot to mention one of the Most Schumacher moments ever that came as a result of this race. Ralph Schumacher was catching Hill but Jordan issued team orders to have a safe 1-2 finish. After learning that, Michael told Eddie Jordan to his face that his brother would never drive for him again and outright bought out Ralph's contract with Jordan (around £2M, Eddie Jordan confirmed this story himself) and managed to have him drive for Williams next season. As a side note this enabled Frentzen to sign for Jordan and have a fantastic 99 season in which he finished 3rd and was in contention for the championship! Anyway, Monaco 96 or Canada 2011 could be a prime candidates for this series!

@mja2317 2 жыл бұрын

It honestly would have been cruel for Hill to lose in the last few laps though. He'd been driving on the limit of the Jordan all day, keeping pace with the Ferraris. The only reason the rest of the field was close to him was because of all the safety cars.

@mafiousbj 2 жыл бұрын

@@mja2317 and it was the team's first win in F1. With all the crashing that had been going on that day the team order made total sense...way more than most Ferrari team orders during 2002 for example 😂 I wonder if Michael would have reacted differently if he wasn't pissed for crashing into Coulthard though (probably not)

@danijelujcic8644 2 жыл бұрын

Villeneuve crashed in 1998, then the next year he thought “Hey that was fun, let’s do it again!” and do it again he did. Then teammate Zonta saw it and said “Anything you can do I can do better” and decided to do some heroics into Eau Rouge, though the only heroics he achieved was losing all 4 wheels

Mika Salo is now an expert commentator on Finnish TV's F1 coverage. He was talking last weekend about how he sprinted back to the pits after the crash at the start, only to find finish Diniz already sitting in the T-car. Of course, Salo was already in his spare car at the start after his crash in FP3.

Hilarious, except Schumacher ran into Coulthard. Jean Todt had already talked to Ron Dennis about the developing situation with Michael and David. The McLaren team directed Coulthard to stay to the right and slow down. He did, but the spray and rain was so intense, Schumi couldn't see DC until the very last second. The crash forced Coulthard to retire as well. While Lewis Hamilton finished the last lap of the British Grand Prix with a completely deflated front tire, Schumacher drove over a mile to the pits with only 3 wheels and tires! His Ferrari F300 was so stiffly sprung, he was actually able to steer and drive his car at speeds approaching 120 mph! But the crash wasn't to blame on Coulthard.

I'm so grateful that Spa would not let me attend the 2021 race because they only allowed European citizens with EU vaccine certificates to attend. I'm still amazed Spa didn't refund tickets after the rain fiasco race. Having been spurned twice, I decided to attend Hungary in 2022 and I had a great trip.

Vaguely remember watching this, just like any other race, with my dad... that start was something else 😅 Everyone is making fun of Bottas, but Coulthard did it first and did it better. Also, how is Sauber still a thing? They've somehow been around for 31 years, which is probably longer than most current F1 drivers (too lazy to look that up) and have managed to win a race in that time. ONE. While also managing to come 5th or better in the constructors championship a total of 5 times. Most recently? 2008.
