- 24 Mar 07, 16:57#6402Speaking of Berger's '97 German GP win, As you well know it was his last win, but some intersting stats make it memorable for me, not feelings wise, but I seem to always remember the numbers aspect of things, and that is for me the memorable stuff:
Berger's first and last wins were both in a Benetton. They were also Benetton's first and last wins.
Berger also won there in '94, breaking Ferrari's losing streak. Their previous win was Spain '90.
Adelaide '94 was the last 3.5 litre race. It was won by Nigel Mansell in a Williams. He also won the first 3.5 Litre race, after the turbo ban, in a Ferarri. This is part of the the reason the Tifosi love him so, and how hw got to be known as Il Lione, Red #5.
Here's one I forgot: Senna winning a certain time in the Lotus in the rain, I forget where, but it was his first rainy race since moving to Lotus, and he won it in such resounding style that it earned him the title of rainmaster, which he certainly did live up to in the years afterward.
There was also a time in the very early '80s that Watson won after starting from the very back in a Mclaren.
