2007 European Grand Prix | Round 10/17

[@bigzeddie76]

Hi guys, those looking for the next round at Hungary will have to wait for tomorrow. Having issues uploading. ✌️

[@Antonowskyfly]

Thank you for the update. Surprisingly to me I wasn’t (too) worried. With your “backups” there’s plenty to keep us revisiting while you sort it out. Props to the hardest working man in vintage F1 media. 👍👍🤟🤙

[@JonathaMacedo-ix2go]

Best race in the 2007 season. So much caos, heavy rain, great batlle between alonso and massa. Epic race.

[@Ffoeg82]

The legend Winkelhock!!!

[@FraserThorburn-us8ny]

I always wonder why he didn't get further opportunities in F1

[@chlcrk]

No one can break the Winkelrock!

[@beefandbarley]

You’re awesome Big Zeddie. Thanks for these great races from this great season. 👍🏁

[@tomchorley2116]

That shot of Alonso tucked right underneath Massa’s rear wing down the pit straight with 5 laps to go has lived rent free in my head for the last 17 years.

[@RyanHammond220]

The safety car booting it to avoid the incoming Liuzzi was a sight to see. Could have been fatal. Amazing the old safety precautions with tractors on the track whilst under yellows.

[@DJTrumpetInDaHouse]

Winkelhock masterclass. What a lad!

[@tristanwhite3472]

Shame we never saw him again.

[@TomKayll]

Jeez, the Toro Rosso wasn't that far away from going under the tractor at speed. Absolutely terrifying to think about.

[@bullfrommull]

When Brundle says “ you do not want to go under one of the recovery machines” 😞

[@RyanMonks-s2i]

Brundle talking about not wanting to go under a crane in the wet brings back bad memories of the future crash of Jules bianchi. Dream debut for Marcus winklehock. Prefer the classic nurburgring then newer street tracks.

[@tombardsley3081]

We all know safety even just 17 years ago was a lot more lax than what it is now

[@alexlazebat839]

brundle does go on about that suzuka 94 morbidelli went off and brundle did and hit a marshal broken leg

[@VenusDoom891]

Couldn't stop laughing at the bit where Ralf wanted to remonstrate to Heidfeld but the marshals wouldn't allow him to. Ironic that 2 races ago I was singing Nick's praises then he has a completely messy race like this (and I think he was more to blame than Kubica for the start incident too).

[@tristanwhite3472]

Yes same.

[@paulwalton7786]

Perhaps the best race of the eventful 2007 season. What a shame we didn't see Markus Winklehock again after this race. Mind I decided to have a change for this race by muting the ITV commentary entirely and having the BBC Radio 5 Live commentary on for one reason.... Murray Walker! And of course there had to be chaos at the start for Murray's guest appearance didn't they? ;-)

[@icyveins21]

Alonso at his best

[@tristanwhite3472]

Yep

[@sickemboy9352]

18:07 Lovely camera coverage. She looks a lot like Kimi!

[@scottbarnes3116]

Most underrated f1 ever 😍👍

[@neilvenners3309]

It seems crazy now that with cars aquaplaning off the track on the same corner as a recovery vehicle that Charlie didn’t red flag the race. Maybe Jules would still be with us if the threat was realised then.

[@j.s.p]

What a race What a season

48:59 LMAO How did I forget this part? What irony.

[@tristanwhite3472]

One of the best Battles for the lead in history of F1.

[@nicolaclapiz]

Raikkonen's bad luck at nurburgring is just unbelievable

[@tombardsley3081]

Only a couple of races at this circuit where he finished in his career (2006, 2013 and 2020)

[@C_and_C...]

Great race, crazy opening laps but I was so hoping for the one off Murray Walker commentary on this one, I think it was for eurosport.

[@sickemboy9352]

I thought that was on BBC radio. There's a clip of the opening laps in 50fps, the screaming after the lights go off is hilarious.. "AND ITS GO GO GO" 😂

[@eugenelazarev9795]

What a fantastic race, chaotic first and last laps, legends on the podium and beautiful Winkelhock! Legendary Nürburgring first showed Lewis that F1 isn't only a chain of wins and podiums, also it's a high level of stress. Thanks a lot Zeddie, we go! 🏁✌

what a charge by alonso for the win.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Agree what a driver.

[@tristanwhite3472]

On Track Battles, Overtaking, Cars sliding off in the Rain, Unpredictable.

[@sharonec5419]

Crazy how dangerous F1 was even back then. Letting the teleporter olgo collect a car while they were still racing was crazy and unfortunately, that lesson was learned some year's later in Japan. It would never happen now. Also, Lewis and his car lifted and put back on the track to go another thing that would not happen now. Still was a great race do. I do remember watching it live and loving it.

[@yudhabagaskara98]

One of the few exciting races in 2007

[@ciaronsmith4995]

There were many, actually. Not sure what you're talking about. Australia was exciting because a rookie was challenging Alonso. Indy was exciting Canada was exciting Silverstone was exciting Nurburgring was exciting Fuji was exciting China was exciting Brazil was exciting Enough.

[@PG-20]

I forgot Schumi was part of the podium ceremony

[@tristanwhite3472]

I remember watching these Races from 2007 & 2008 very rememerable seasons.

[@tristanwhite3472]

About time Mark Webber got a very strong result 3rd. It was his first Podium since 2005.

[@coulthard2006]

11:17 Brundle "you do not want to be going underneath one of those digger trucks." Shame nothing was put in place before Bianchi's crash.

[@gazzaboy84]

I thought the exact same thing when he said that😢

[@plisskenationbackfromthede3657]

He said that so many times before it happened. At least 10?

[@plisskenationbackfromthede3657]

Falls on deaf ears sadly. They still dont even put lights on the things

[@tristanwhite3472]

​@@gazzaboy84So did I.

[@Outcry4truth]

This was an awesome race. Alonso did very well, Massa complained about the move but in my opinion it was clean. Hamilton had a bad day at the office and so did Kimi. Very entertaining race. And Schumi giving Ron Denis the trophy was comedic 🤣

[@nicolaclapiz]

Massa didn't complain about the move, he was angry at alonso because nando complained about the contact

[@tristanwhite3472]

​@@nicolaclapizYes Massa was Angry with Alonso for Complaining about the contact Massa said you won and you say that. Massa was Angry with Alonso because Alonso thought Massa did it on Purpose. Alonso was Angry with Massa for the Contact.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Bad day for Hamilton but can happen.

[@sickemboy9352]

4:49 ITV were not subtle with that voiceover added considering its post race highlights.

[@spac18]

James mentioned that in commentary too, so maybe it was not edited in.

[@jonihamalainen2228]

Schumacher on the podium once again! ;)

[@And-lj5gb]

Being a Wurz fan was miserable that year, he was off the pace pretty much everywhere but this was that one race where he was not (there was also the Canadian GP but that was more of a fluke with fuel strategy + SC than a great performance from him). I remember vividly my heart beating hard when Wurz almost overtook Webber in the final chicane. But that was his last good race in F1. And I had become a fan just a few weeks earlier, so that's it, one good race from my first favourite F1 driver and he was gone soon after, not the luckiest choice. At least I got to see him winning in Le Mans 2 years after.

[@chrischatfield2935]

Woohoo first one onit big z

[@tristanwhite3472]

This Race and China costing Hamilton the Championship but he made up for it winning it in 2008.

[@tristanwhite3472]

What a great battle between Alonso & Massa! Great to watch gripping exciting Alonso was faster and it was a great Overtaking move. Great wheel to wheel racing. Massa was struggling with Vibrations Alonso and McLaren better in the wet. Great win for Alonso. Great day for Red Bull with 3rd & 5th. Wurz strong day for him and his best result of the season.

[@1greenMitsi]

I remember Murray Walker doing the commentary on R5Live. They even used The Chain to introduce the coverage. It was glorious and a million times better than James f***ing Allen.

[@vinniamsterdam700]

When I heard Winkelhock making his debut I knew what start we were getting. It's a bit of a shame they waited with the restart until it was internediate time as Winkelhock was the only one on the wet tyre. Massa was blocking but Alonso forced his way around him, great racing.

David Coulthard was 4th in Fuji he was a very good driver in the Wet.
