My ROTR is whoever the man on Kazuki's front wheel is as for the second race in a row, his points finishes were ruined by a bungled pitstop. Poor guy.

2003 was a dry race, and also one of the best races of this decade...
Forgot about that. I will agree, that was a fantastic race, but..
It was only made interesting because of a lunatic running down Hangar Straight, so again, it joins the wet races as not really counting. Races should not have to have monsoons to be interesting, or doom-mongerers sprinting down the track, but thanks to aerodynamic progress, it's what excitment has been reduced to.

It was a fantastic race, I was there that day. But still all the overtaking took place at Abbey. If you were watching elsewhere on the circuit it was still a high speed procession.

Trust me, you didn't miss much. When the most exciting thing they can show is two World Champions having a go at each other for twelfth position, you know it's not much of a race.

I want to nominate Max Mosley.
Someone needs to tell him that blowing up F1 will not solve his own "lack of power".
