In the 13th race of the 17 race season, Michael Schumacher wins his 4th title at the 2001 Hungarian GP, while also equaling Alain Prost’s 51 wins & securing Ferrari’s Constructors’ crown thanks to Barrichello’s P2 finish! A dominant season, a legend at his peak. #F1

Random teams' driver and staff lineups... 1/5

I'm at the 2001 F1 season and it's so weird to see TAGHeuer again on modern F1 after Rolex. 😅

Well I know what I'm gonna play today! 😁 www.f1manager.com/2024/update-...

Oh... WOW! The 2001 German GP had so much highs and for some racers and Teams big lows! I just don't want to spoil the Fun for those who want to check it out because it's really that great! #F1

Heinz-Harald Frentzen's departure from Jordan was both sudden and controversial. On July 25, 2001 just days before his home race at the German GP, he was replaced by Ricardo Zonta. From the next race onwards, Jean Alesi took over the seat for the rest of the season, leaving the Prost team. #F1

The time, when Jenson Button was asked to test the new F1 game on the PS2, developed by Studio 33. He was imperessed. #F1

2001 British GP ITV reporter: "What were your first thoughts when seeing an F1 driver live for the first time?" #F1

👀 #F1

A rare sight to be hold Alonso lost his tire at the 2001 British GP but luckily for him it happened right before the pit entrance. 😅 He managed to finish the race, which Häkkinen won after months without a victory. #F1

A fun drinking game... Drink every time when Erja Häkkinen is shown at every race in 2000 and 2001. It's absurd how much was she shown on TV. 🤣 #F1

Chaos at the start of the 2000 Italian GP at Monza. Frentzen, Barrichello, Coulthard, De La Rosa, and Verstappen were all involved. Tragically a flying wheel struck firefighter Paolo Gislimberti, who lost his life. The FIA and several F1 teams contributed financially to help his family. R.I.P. 😔 #F1

One of the most bizarre moments of the 2000 F1 season was at the German Grand Prix when a disgruntled ex-Mercedes employee ran onto the track in the middle of the race. He casually strolled down Hockenheim’s long straight, forcing a safety car and completely shaking up the race. #F1

Juan Pablo Montoya’s first F1 win looked certain at the 2001 Brazil GP after a bold overtake on Schumacher at the beginning. Then Jos Verstappen, despite blue flags, crashed into him. A win lost in an instant. The stewards fined Verstappen $15,000. #F1

The 2001 F1 Nürburgring GP had drama for Ralf Schumacher running strong in P2, but a 10 second stop go penalty ruined his race because he left the white line after pit. He dropped to P4, while his teammate Montoya took P2. A tough break for Ralf, but Williams still got a podium! #F1

Jean Alesi and Alain Prost were smiling with satisfaction for the first time at the Monaco GP in 2001 after seeing their efforts rewarded with a sixth-place (1 point) finish in the Monaco Grand Prix. #F1

The Rookies of the 2001 F1 season 1. Kimi Räikkönen (Sauber) 2. Fernando Alonso (Minardi) 3. Juan Pablo Montoya (Williams) 4. Enrique Bernoldi (Arrows) 5. Tarso Marques (Minardi) – Technically not a rookie but returning after a long gap 6. Luciano Burti (Jaguar/Prost) – Had one race in 2000 #F1

Rookie of the year 2000 #F1

Barrichello won his first race at Hockenheim in 2000, starting 18th. He gambled on dry tires despite late rain, skillfully handling the still wet corners and speeding through the dry sections. It was one of the most emotional race wins ever. #F1

The best race weekend of the 2024 season and not just the race! The before and after drama was just the icing on the cake. @f1tv.bsky.social m.youtube.com/watch?v=QGTE...

One of the cruelest moments in F1 history. On the last lap of the 2001 Spanish GP Hakkinen's car had an engine failure. No wonder Michael Schumacher felt rather embarrassed because even he knew he had no right to win that GP. Mika had outclassed everyone only for his McLaren to cry enough. #F1
