Clearly this guy never went to a track and saw Villeneuve snr. on, or rather
well over, the limit.
Not to mention Ronnie Peterson, Jody Scheckter and many many more..
These and many other special moments from the past give long time Formula
One fans a perspective from which to judge the current state of the sport.
Why, on ITV last Sunday, even Bernie admitted that today's drivers lacked
the charisma of people like Nelson Piquet.
Also I don't think anyone is saying that modern F1 is rubbish. It's just
that it's unrecognisable from what it used to be, which many of us
preferred.
