    Erm.

    Magny Cours 2004
    Spain 1996
    Monaco 1997

    Aside from these, and no way his best, but I really enjoyed watching the race craft of Ferrari. San Marino, Imola, 2006. Michael was up front, tyres had degraded, Alonso on his tail for the whole race. It came to the last stops. Before this, Michael had gone far slower than he actually could, to fein to the Renault boys that his car/tyre package was shocking. Renault thought they could get him in the final stop, but, as Michael had been holding back, he just put the pedal down and emerged infront. It was great to see.

    The one that sticks out in my mind was San Marino in 2003 - it may not have been that good a race but I don't think I could have done 62 laps a full pelt just hours after the death of my mother !!

    This is tough, and i want to try to be different

    so...

    China '06

    Malaysia '99 - coming back early from the leg injury

    Brazil '06

    Those are three that stick out, i don't think you can call Brazil one of his altime best.

    Agreed, makes me feel so sad when I see that race, both him and Ralf to be fair.

    Mine's:
    Spain 96'
    France 04'
    Suzuka 00'

    Monza 06 and Brazil 06' were very emotional and I couldn't forget those either...

    Hungary 1998

    tough...tough...

    spain 96
    china 07
    suzuka 00

    but i have to say that malaysia 99 was also great, coming back from injury and was the fastest of them all (could have won also, if the circumstances allowed)
    From Schumacher, always expect the impossible.

    spain 96 <- definetely a class of his own
    suzuka 00 <- it was so emotional, winning the titles after so many years
    monza 06 <- his way to say goodbye...I cried so much then ;cry:
    brasil 06 <- last race and he showed them who's the boss...

    Really, those 4 are the most emotional ones for me as a fan, but it's hard to pick the best from so many races...For me Michael was, is and always will be a class of his own and out of reach for the present drivers...

    So many choices.

    Spain 96, Belgium 95, and Hungary 98 would probably be the ones i choose.

    Monaco 06 was brilliant given how many cars he passed starting from the back.

    China 06 and Brasil 06, those 2 races stick out in my mind no matter what.
    In China, he pulled off being the only bridgestone runner to qualify in top 10 and managed to make quite a few number of cars look retarded and win the race. Brasil 06 was just a magnificent race for him even though he didn't win it with his quick laps to his overtaking.
