First GP after you were Born

[KekeTheKing]

Great thread!

Elio de Angelis just held off Keke at the O-Ring two days after I was born in 1982. Rosberg won the next race at Dijon, I remember it well......

KekeTheKing - Great time to be born, that was my favourite race that I've been to - was a big Elio fan, Italian air force display team were psychotic and I knocked Niki Lauda over in the pits

I would like to point out that somehow I knew that the race after I was born would be won by Thierry Boutsen.

1989 Oz.

1995 British Grand Prix. Of course Herbert won!!

I was there. I'm feeling really old compared to some of you!

Great thread! The first race after I was born was the Argentine GP in 1974. Yes, I'm 40 this year

Kyalami, March 1970.
I had to wait a whole bloody month after I was born, for the season to start!! Nothing to do but drink my mother's milk and shit my nappies...
I must have been distracted when the season finally started, because I can't remember a thing about it...

1981 Dutch GP. A race with 15 past-or-future race-winners amongst the 24 starters, a podium of three past-or-future champions, first points for Salazar and last points for Rebaque.

Just goes to show that wisdom and knowledge can rest on young shoulders just as good as anywhere else.

1989 United States Grand Prix in Phoenix, Arizona. Senna qualified on Pole by some margin but had engine troubles and Prost won the race. The race reached the two hour time limit after 75 of the planned 81 laps and only 9 cars finished (not really sure what the reason for this is). Amazingly, 39 drivers competed that weekend - 9 didn't pre qualify (whatever that is ) , 4 didn't qualify and 17 weren't classified with a further two drivers not finishing the race! And almost all of those that retired did so because of car issues, there wasn't even a huge first corner pile up!

And if you want to watch it (I might at some point...), YouTube to the rescue!

Nice thread idea!

Monaco GP of 1966 was 3 days before I was born (won by Jim Clark), first one after was the Belgian GP at Spa (Won by John Surtees). I must have been a lucky charm for British drivers.
