I was at this race. Was in one of the grandstands on the 2nd corner. The amount of Ferrari fans that got up & left when M Schumacher crashed was unreal. Has got to be one of the best weekends of my life. Weather was amazing & Montreal is a lovely city. Thank you for bringing so many memories back to me.
Great upload Ciaron, many thanks. I recall that Frentzen was often the designated onboard camera used on the terrestrial channel's that year and there were some nice shots too, like him completing the pass on Fisichella and then blowing past the lapped Badoer later that lap on the back straight, along with Murray's excited commentary🙂
And they kept Damon Hill's car there as well! If this happened in, let's say, Qatar 2024, lots of drivers would be given a 10-second stop-and-go penalty 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I think the real question of this race what if Frentzen wouldn't receive brake failure as there would be a nice 3-way battle for second as despite Irvine flying on last stint as I won't think that Fisi or HHF would give position to him easily, especially on closing stage as they're battling themselves. Schumi hitting the wall while on huge lead is quite a bonehead move from him. And picture of Hill's Jordan being on track is something that wouldn't fly today. Also that was a nice comment from Murray (don't know if was recorded in this video) that 98-99 cars had all downforce and no grip as good to see just how it was as much complains as we see now (personally 98-08 cars were the best looking).
1:25:42 - what on earth was that all about? Looking like Eddie McRae there..... Herbert following Irvine off in sympathy! Otherwise he could have had the place back!

I found 1999 to be the best season I've ever watched. So that must have been quite an experience.
Yet another classic race in 1999.
Indeed. Is the French Grand Prix coming next? It's a great show of Schumi's genius

Brilliant race, remember watching this. Late 90s f1 was a pure joy to watch.
1:55:15 I hope this version of the British anthem plays again one day
@@RedWeather2004 the anthems used back then were much better than the ones used now, especially the Finnish, British, and German ones.
I hope I’m not mistaken but I think this is the first race in F1 history that ended behind the Safety Car.
You are correct.
Awesome mate, cheers for the upload. Remember it like it was yesterday, Schumi losing it into the wall of champions 😭 #KeepFightingMichael
Is this the year that the wall of champions went onto a killing spree?
Yes, this race is pretty much the reason the wall is called that.
Awesome, you rock Ciaron
Ciaron vs RUclips F1 copyright team the most intense battle of the 2024 f1 season so far
Impossible to watch these races without thinking of Schuey.
The way they took Schumacher’s car out of the track while only on yellow flags is surreal compared to modern F1
And they kept Damon Hill's car there as well! If this happened in, let's say, Qatar 2024, lots of drivers would be given a 10-second stop-and-go penalty 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
