Your First F1 Experience

[FGD]

Been following F1 since the days of Phil Hill in Ferrari.

First "in-person" race: Watkins Glen, New York, way back in 1966 (?) There was nothing better (when we were young) than canned pork and beans and hamburg cooked over an open fire in the cold and dark with the sound of Ferrari V12s in the near distance. It was so cold that we got so close to the campfire that my socks ignited.

Those were the days - or so it seems in retrospect. All very clinical and sterile now.

I think the Schumacher - Hakkinen days were pretty damned good. And the Hamilton - Alonso drama had me thinking of Prost and Senna. It's not all bad.

I couldn't pin-point my first experience but the earliest memory I have of F1 is during the Alesi/Berger Ferrari days and they got a 2, 3 in a race. Well, so much for vivid memories
