2005: 1991 revisited
This season brings to mind 1991.

Alonso = Senna in the McLaren Honda


A string of wins early on then keeps racking up points even when another car is faster. Comes back with a very strong finish to claim the title.


Raikkonen = Mansell in the Williams


Slow start, then wins a bunch of races - but the car proves a bit too fragile to take overall honours.




We can only hope 2006 sees Kimi then have Mansell-esque results of 1992!

Well yes, if you're a Kimi fan...... Just having 3-4 drivers able to slog it out would do me, whoever they are......

Yes, the last line was a throwaway, but does anyone else see the 1991/2005 similarities?

I do see the parallels, although not necessarily with this part:

I have my doubts as to whether Renault will find much front-running pace in the remainder of the season. I do think Alonso will win the title though, simply given the fact it is largely out of Raikkonen's hands (as in Raikkonen can keep winning but Alonso just needs to pick up some fairly decent finishes to claim it.)

Although in '91 Senna won in Hungary, slowing Mansell's progress towards him in the title race.

I see the parallels though.

Yep, there's no doubting the parallels.

Don K has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Now let's wait and see which talented driver will make his debut at Spa.

Could be a worrying time for London taxi drivers in that case Don.

Actually there's another parallel - didn't Ferrari's only fastest lap of 1991 come in the US?

There are definite similarities, although I agree that I'd prefer a close season to a runaway one next year. Kimi winning it would be fine though.

Well, we just need to wait to Spa to see the debut of our future multi-million earning champion in a Jordan then?

I wonder if the next one burns out his clutch as well...

I can see the similarities between them for sure.
Even the downfall of Ferrari is so like back in 1991!

Didn't Michael and Doornbos both debut in the year's 11th race?
