Morning coffee - exciting French GP

Nearly ten minutes long, this classic video gets nuts around the 5 minute mark. Why, why, why can't we have F1 races like this today?

Rubbin' becomes a bit more problematic when it's in open wheel cars

Well, in my humble opinion the closest thing to that in the 2009 F1 Season was in the last race for second place between Mark Webber and Jenson Button for second in the last race of the season. That was good racing. The video can be viewed here
