I don't know why...but it's obvious that there must be a reason to explain this because in our country there is a lot of tradition in racing competitions so I can't understand the difference of the results...

thank you thank you

but to think we've had many champions and great drivers, a great car heritage too.... even now 75% of the grid have their cars and R&D done in the UK but we wont even have a GP here

Senna
Schumi
Fangio
Gilles
Prost

UK has the most for sure ... but the Brazilians were the most charismatic for sure.

I was watching the half of the 1983 F1 season on video last week back home and saw the playful antics of Piquet. That guy was fighting for the crown and had a couple of engine failures in the race but minutes after the incident he is all smiles and joking around...

Funny guy
