most dominant F1 race drive.....
ive watched 1992 British GP on tape...And although it wasnt the most exciting race , it has reminded me of just how good Mansell was when he was really pumped up . Although the guy had the best car in the field by a long way , he just demolished everyone in that race . He was lapping a couple of seconds qquicker than everyone , and still put in a lap record about 4 laps from the end .
so what the most dominant race you remember ?......Im sure Michael will get a few mentions here .........remember , most dominant drive , not best overtaking manouver or anything like that ....just a race where a driver absolultley left everyone else standing . |

One of the most recent ones (although not as dominating as Mansell) was McLaren at Australia 98. They were just one step ahead of everyone, lapping nearly (if not entirely) the whole field. Thing is, they spoiled it by fixing the result.

That reminds me of one of Murray Walker's remarks- "Mansell ahs build himself a comfortable cushion, well actually its more of a lounge suite".
I got to say Donnington 1993, the greatest drive of Senna's life. In changable and often atrocious conditions, he blitzed everyone on the first lap then won by a whole lap. I was truly mesmerised by that, it was the day I became an F1 addict. |

There have been many dominant drives of course, but i'll plump for Damon Hill at Adelaide in 1995, finishing 2 laps ahead of Panis i believe.

As Boots says, if you want the most dominent and maybe even the greatest drive ever in one then look no further than Donnington 1993.
As you say though Sato San, the 1992 British GP was also pretty special. And unlike today's dominent Ferrari drives, Mansell put in the quickest lap of that race just 3 laps from the end! Now that's what I call pasionate racing. |

Hakkinen in 98 at Melbourne, despite the fixed result. After his botched pit drive through he put in some blistering laps to make up lost ground on Coulthard, and showed that maybe McLaren were sandbagging

Can I nominate Mika and Michael in the 1999 and 2000 Japanese GP. Their team mates didn't have problems, but that didn't stop both of them pulling away at about 1s per lap.
Oh and Senna and Prost at Spa in 1990. Similar deal. Not quite total domination (couldn't shake the other one!) But in some ways made the rest look even sillier - It wasn't as if no one else could do it!

Has to be 92 and Mansell who dominated all 3 sessions and then took pole with a time of 1.18.995, 2 seconds...yes 2 seconds quicker than Patrese in an identical car and three seconds quicker than Senna.
Mansell proved to his critics that it wasn't just the car that was quick.If Mansell had stayed for 93 at Williams Prost may well have not bothered turning up to save his credibility for the British GP!! |

In my book: (these were all in the wet and showed the differences between the champions and the boys):
1. Senna Donnington 1993 2. Schumacher Spa 1998 3. Schumacher Spain 1996 |

Come on guys (myself included) what about F1 pre 1990?
How about Stewart at the Nurburgring 1968. He won by over 4 minutes. Four minutes. |

Senna himself said that he rekoned that Estoril 1985 and Suzuka 1988 were better drives from him. The main reason was because he had traction control at Donington 1993. Still a great drive though.

OK what about pre-2000
Senna's first win. Seemed to be the only one who could cope with the conditions. |

Senna at Donnigton (my last Grand Prix) was absoltuely fabulous, and whats more he did it in a dog of a car.
Fangio in 57 at the Nurnurgring was also a masterful drive. |

Clark at Zandvoort in '67 would rank highly. Blew the competition away. Same thing with Team Lotus at Watkins Glen the same year.

The Macs in Melbourne were in their own race, no doubt about it. Good to remember that if your unsure Ferrari's dominance will end. |

Had Senna not crashed at Monaco '88, that drive would be a contender.
Also Schumacher at Monaco, 1997. |
