'93 European Gp, Senna's best performance, he started 4th in a McLaren that was not that great and it was raining at the start and Senna had slicks on. By the end of the first lap Senna had the lead and was rapidly pulling away. By the end of the race he had lapped almost all the cars and got himself a Victory
Barrichello also had a very impressive performance that race, but his car let him down with few laps to go.
Villeneuve in Dijon 1979 and Fangio at Nurburgring in 1957. All time best is Nuvolari at the Nurburgring in 1935.
Villeneuve(gilles off course) .. Spain and Monaco 1981
MSchumacher Hungaroring 1998, Spa 1997
i'm not gonna remention the ones on Wouter list .. :) :) :) but there are on my list .. :)

I'm sorry, but could u please give more insight on this issue. Coz the way i understood it, he was gearing with either first or fifth (did they have 7th back then??) and it would be a miracle to win that way.
He only had 6th and first gears. I don't know how he did it, he just did it, and it was raining in the last laps, and he stuck with slicks. I do remember that Patrese, who finished in 2nd, also had some gear problems and couldn't reach Senna.

MS completed a GP with only 5th gear once, finishing 2nd to Mr Hill...
But back to the topic, Ayrton's Donington Drive was certainly one of the best I've seen...
Mr Hill at Hungary '97 was a pretty good effort...
I think Barcelona '96 is M$'s best drive.
Mika Hakkinen Spa, Belgium of the 2000 season
The best race according to what i have seen so far is the 2000 belgium Gp.
that was a fantastic overtaking move by mika on michael, even michael was suprised.

It was even more amazing because Mika spun off the track earlier in the race.
I know its not F1 but john fitch in 1960 had a great race in a vette at le mans.
he wone first in class and 8 th over all after a heroic charge in the rain.
2006... Germany (Hockenheim circuit)

They dominated the race
Good god...more time traveller....
It's Doctor Who all over again.
Or back to the future in a car made in Northern Ireland
He's really not getting the hang of this posting business is he?!
Plus, the 2006 German Grand Prix was a fairly dismal race. Ferrari 1-2 without either driver having to break sweat.

He's a ferrari fanboi: [URL="http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/834505-post41.html"]Proof[/URL]
he gets off on that kind of thing
I thought his tendency to revive old thread was annoying but I didn't mind the bloke, but now that I've seen he claims to own a 1,200 bhp twin-turbocharged Pagani Zonda F, I have quite a problem with him.
wait, you don't have a 1200bhp Zonda? get with the program, dude...

Well, at least he's using the search function.
I haven't followed F1 for too long, and only know of certain historic epic races. I didn't watch, but recently, Kimi's win from last with the last lap pat on Fischy in Japan in 2006 may be pretty epic, but then again there are those with rose tinted glasses that seem to regard old-school races as being superior. Michael has had some utterly amazing and dominant races, Senna at Dodington, I seem to remember one race where the winner lapped everyone (what was this? - Maybe Senna?).
These are just ones I thought of and didn't see mentioned.
