And you also singled these two years out for incredible praise which is why I picked up on it in the first place. Just saying that, whilst the tense title fights added excitement, literally nothing happened on the track of any real interest.
I totally agree. 1999 and 2000 were bad years for wheel to wheel racing. 2001 was a good year, mainly due to the softer tyres and differing grip levels throughout the race that Michelin and Bridgestone had.
