    I was going to post the DC pit lane incident, but there was some oil on the right hand side that caused him to doff it.

    Jochen Mass doodling around on the ideal line in his cool down lap at Zolder 82. :(

    DC doodling around on the ideal line in the rain of Spa. :(

    Senna leading the Monaco GP going slow straight into the armco at the tunnel entrance.

    Mansell on the last lap in Montreal switching off the power on the last lap while waving to the fans.

    Schumacher mixing up the finish line with a distance marker at the USGP and hence giving away the victory to Barrichello. Or so the German wants us to believe...

    Vettel going straight into his team mate in the rain of Fuji during a pace car lap.

    Hami in the pit lane at Montreal last year.

    Almost any race Andrea de Crasheris, Scott Speed or Michael Andretti were involved.

    But the worst brain fade doesn't go to a driver, but to a team: The Ferrari crew at the Nuerburgring in 1999 when giving Irvine only three new tires and thus throwing away his championship.

    You've posted this several times in the past. I know you like Irvine, and so do I, but the fact is he wasn't good enough to become world champion. He threw away his own title at the final race, when he qualified 5th at Suzuka. He's supposed to be an expert there, but he languished back in 4th and 5th, even though Coulthard crashed out. We can go on and on, picking at every race, and how "this would have happened if that didn't", but at the end of the day, results are what counts, and Eddie simply couldn't deliver when it really counted. Sorry, but the 1999 world drivers championship belongs to Mika Hakkinen, Eddie never had it, because you don't get a championship until you win it, and Eddie didn't.

    As for brain fades, the biggest one in recent times is Lewis and Nico causing a train wreck on Kimi at Canada. As brilliant as Lewis is, he really should have paid more attention. Next year, if he irons out these brain fades, he'll be that much more brilliant.

    I don't like Coulthard, BUT, Shuey him DC in the rear, not the other way around. I don't blame DC for that one.

    Erm, no. DC dropped the throttle in a place that no driver ever drops the throttle, Schumi couldn't see him and clouted his car. You are one of three people on this planet that sees this incident as Schumi's fault.

    How about DC in Austria in 99 when he was behind Mika in the first turn and punted Mika off track. Later he lost the lead to Shuey.
