What recovery drive was the best for you?

[beelsebob]

Schumacher has driven in to plenty of people though, need I remind you how he sealed his first championship? Don't go preaching he's 'firm but fair', he's ruthless, and that's what makes him one of the best.

On Topic. Jenson's drive in Canada was one of the most impressive 'from the back of the field' drives I've seen in a long time.

I would have to say Hamilton's GP2 drive in Turkey '06 is the most impressive in recent memory. Spins on the second lap which put him right at the back of the field. Spends the rest of the 23 lap race storming through the field to finish in second position. In my opinion it was probably the drive that really got him noticed that year.

Lewis should probably watch this race again, learn where he's been going wrong lately, such a brilliant race.

Or, he could simply go back to China this year.

Another sort of recovery was when Mansell gave Senna a lift back to the pits =D> ....remember that?

Even some of the moves he pulled in China were risky. I mean the move he pulled on Button was very risky, Button definately wasn't expecting him on the inside of that corner, and it was lucky he spotted Lewis really.

Hah, and there was me going and creating a thread on best overtakes, saying that was the best pulled move I've seen in F1.

This guy was IMO one of the best overtakers F1 has ever seen, in an era where overtaking was meant to be so hard. It really is a shame he couldn't hook a season together, such a great talent wasted.

Wasn't Schumacher at Brazil 2006 a pretty great drive? he had a puncture and then a broken wront wing I think, but still finished 4th. Wasn't quite enough for the championship, but what a way to 'retire.'

1:49, they say it's Vettel and tbh looks pretty much like him lol


I'm surprised no one's already mentioned it. I agree Hamilton's 2006 GP2 race in Turkey was brilliant, 2009 Melbourne and then Brazil (18th to 3rd was it?) were splendid recovery drives too !

In that instance I don't recall Schumacher driving into anyone else.

Villeneuve and Hill would beg to differ LOL.

[raymondu999]

Actually Brazil 2009 was rather interesting. 16th-18th finished in reverse order, but as 3rd-5th

Villeneuve and Hill would beg to differ LOL.

That's right, he drove into 2 people that were behind him whilst they were both moving in the same direction.

If you think Schumacher didn't drive into Villeneuve at Jerez then go back and look at it again. He hit the sidepod of the Williams - so not only did he drive into Villeneuve, he was also behind him - in an effort to take him out of the race. I think I'm right in saying he has since accepted the blame for that crash?

J-M Fangio at Nürburgring in 1957, Graham Hill at Monaco in 1965 and Clark at Monza in 1967 stand out for me.

Race reports here, if anyone's interested.

Stepping outside of F1 for a moment, Stirling Moss's Nürburgring 1000 on June the 7th 1959 was pretty nifty.
