HOW TO SET UP A SEASON FINALE! The Story of the 1997 Japanese Grand Prix

  • Jacques Villeneuve went into the Japanese Grand Prix 9 points ahead, having overhauled a 20 point lead that Michael Schumacher had. Which sounds pretty good, less so when you find out that it happened because The Michael had got a stop-go in Austria and then got taken out by his own brother at the Nurburgring.
    But either way, it was Williams bottling it harder than Ferrari, and Williams should have been further ahead, but when you don't have Newey anymore, you're gonna struggle. See Red Bull this year.
    So how did Villeneuve get a ban? Was it Schumacher assistance? Trying to stage a finale in Jerez? Or was JV just breaking the rules too much? Let's have a look.

    Alonso had a 40 point lead after Hungary 2012. Somehow that got reduced thanks to Grosjean being absolute clown shoes. Also the most heart-warming race of 1997 was the German GP, when Berger in his retirement year, owned the weekend after losing his dad. When he took the top step, you could feel the love from all fans, regardless of team.

      Grosjean's impact on the 2012 WDC bid, should never go forgotten. As much as I like the guy, just watch the Hamilton onboard from the start - what was he thinking, and not like he couldn't see Hamilton's car alongside of him.

      Could see it like that... or Newey did an interview recently with the old BBC F1 presenter Jake Humphries, High Perforamance is the channel ... and they put a model car in Newey's hands, asking him to talk about what they did - and Newey straight up says .... "There's thing on this I can't talk about even now, that won us the championship." There's a part of me that believes, Newey went to AM because he knows his car won titles Alonso should have won, if it was driver -v- driver.

    Australia had a tiered system to the flags - a double yellow at one flag point would be preceded by a single waved yellow at the previous point and at the point before that would be a stationary yellow. I suspect this was Europe as well since CAMS followed their rules pretty closely.

    Unless youre Verstappen. In which case if he divebombs and puts himself in a position where he either keeps the line he has to force someone off, or takes them both out, its someone elses fault. If the guy in front with the line keeps the line and Verstappen takes them both out, its someone elses fault.
