First time I ever remember seeing F1 on the TV was Monaco 1996 I think, I was only 5. Can't remember much after that, although I know I got hooked in the 1997 season. Next F1 memory I have is the massive crash at Spa 1998.

Remember seeing parts of some GPs in 1996 (7 years old) but since Italy 1997 I have hardly missed a GP

Hehe. Monaco, like '96 or something. They got stuck at the hairpin twice! Had to restart the race several times! Lol.

Don't remember exactly which and when, but started to follow from 2002-2003 seasons during the bests of Ferrari.

The race when Keke Rosberg won the world championship. Was it in Las Vegas? Can't remember the year.

The first race I truly remember is the grand prix of Monza 1999. How Häkkinen spinned off the track from the lead and wept in the woods. :sad:

Silverstone, dont remember the year because I was no older than 6, likely younger.

First live open wheel experience (besides shifter/carts as a child) was IRL in Texas.. not bad but not F1 :(

It is a guess but I know I remember 1998 so I guess it was the Australian Grand Prix in 1998 and Mika won. The thing I remember most in 1998 was the Belgian Grand Prix pile-up, 3 starts if I remember correctly.

I was 4 then.

1997 Monaco Grand Prix when I was 5 years old, Michael Schumacher won at that time, the race was amazing and dramatic, the weather was rain at that time and that makes the race was almost 2 hours :cheezy:
