So, I'm a returning F1 fan; I watched a bunch when Schumacher was on his streak. And then didn't get back into it until 2020 (pandemic boredom maybe?).

What I haven't done is seen a lot of classic races; I've seen footage here and there. I watched the Senna documentary. But I haven't seen many of the "Best of" races. I was hoping some of the long-time fans would post their favorite 10 races to recommend that a fan watch for the first time. So no spoilers please.

Suzuka 2005 is an all time classic so I would start there.

If you've managed to stay unspoiled about it, you could honestly just watch the entire 2012 season start to finish. Plenty of great races and many people hold it as their favorite ever season.

I second this, it was the first race that came to mind.

I just finished Suzuka 2005. Holy snort! That was an amazing race... those passes... goodness....

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's a spectacular one for sure. For me, Suzuka 2005 is like a perfect benchmark/introduction to Formula 1. If someone doesn't enjoy that race, this sport is just not for them (which is also fine, it's not for everyone!).

Considering how terrifying passing on the outside 130R is in the simulator, I can't imagine doing it IRL in that era F1 car. Such good racing. Thanks for the recommendation.

I know who wins WDC but I don’t know how. I’ll give it a shot.
