It's been emotional, never before have we been so involved in the hearts and minds of the drivers. We lived out fears and dreams with them, the highs and the lows.

We saw young blood winning Grands prix in an entirely Michael Schumacher dominant era in the form of Alonso and Raikkonen and a total of eight different winners. This is a year we will all have been proud to witness.

Love him or hate him (I really don't think there is an in between) Michael truly is the best driver in the world (certainly in this era) and confirmed my love of the sport after a couple of "boring" seasons. I have the same excitement that I had during the Hill/ Schumacher years. Michael has that spark and you cannot help but admire his ability and dedication to the sport and his team.

The older generation may or may not agree with me, after all, I have only been around for twenty-three years and my memory doesn't really go beyond the early nineties in terms of F1. I was too busy obsessing about horses like young country girls always do! I deeply regret not witnessing so many of the legends gone by but still very much appreciate their achievements.

As a fan of the present and the future of the sport I can only be impressed at what I see. I believe that we are witnessing a whole new beginning, not just in terms of drivers, but in groundbreaking technology. History books in decades to come will be talking not only about Michael Schumacher but also Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso and Juan Pablo Montoya and I can say that I witnessed history being made.

Moments that stuck out for me

New Rules

I was one of the people that welcomed the new rules, well, some of them at least. I think that one-shot qualifying gave the grid a real mixture of character and allowed the lesser of the teams to have a chance at racing some big guns. It was interesting to see how the teams and the drivers coped with the pressure. It was just a shame that David Coulthard couldn't quite master it!

I did not however agree with the whole tyre debate which was so nearly so dangerous at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Having had to make a choice of tyres before the race the teams hadn't anticipated such dramatic weather conditions.

I don't really have much of an opinion regarding the re-fuelling ban after Saturday qualifying. I think that if we didn't have that rule in place then the whole essence of the potential shaken up grid would have been pointless. However, I did understand the team's apprehension at leaving fuel in the tank overnight and expecting the car to work at its full potential the next day.

I believe that the HANS safety device should not be made compulsory. I think that it should be down to the teams and drivers to decide for themselves whether or not it will be beneficial to them. I was shocked at the sight of Justin Wilson in so much pain after the device slipped and gave him temporary paralysis. Reubens also complained about being made uncomfortable by the HANS device that made him unable to concentrate.

New boy Firman

I was delighted at the arrival of Ralph Firman to Jordan. I am a Norfolk girl through and through and always had a soft spot for him. Martin Brundle is also a Norfolk boy and so I couldn't help feeling proud to be watching them both on race weekends!

Kimi's first victory

Malaysia was good to Kimi and I was so pleased to see him win there. It was a slice of what was to come from him during the duration of the season. I am positive that he will win a world championship and I think he can only get better.

Kimi made a fantastic start from seventh place making up three places on the first lap and battled with Alonso for the first stint. Fernando took his second pit stop and Kimi took the lead. All he had to do was get home and we all saw the tears in Ron Dennis's eyes. It was obviously a special day for the both of them.

Fisichella's first Victory

The Brazilian Grand prix was memorable for a whole host of reasons. The Weather, tyres, safety cars, retirements left, right and centre (well, mainly turn 3) and an accident causing the race to be stopped.

Although Fisichella won the race it would turn out that Raikkonen clamed the trophy on the day. It wasn't until the rules were checked over that it transpired Kimi was wrongly awarded the top spot (due to the count-back before the accident involving Alonso.) Giancarlo was awarded the trophy in a private ceremony at San Marino by Kimi himself.

Buttons Monaco crash

The crash that Button had during Saturdays warm up session at Monaco made me realise just how much Formula 1 cars can withstand. Thankfully Jenson wasn't badly hurt and was up and about at the race although he had been declared unfit to race that morning.

The 170mph smash was responsible for the damage to the car after hitting a rail at the Harbour Chicane. The impact was said to have been a force of more than 20g. Button wrote a letter to his technical team thanking them for saving his life.

Ralph Firman and Martin Brundle fly F-18A Hornets

Watching the adventure that my two Norfolk boys embarked on (as part of ITV's programme) gave me so much enjoyment. I think it might have been the cheesy Top Gun music that was playing over the top that made me laugh more than anything! The look on their faces when they emerged from the cockpits was also a classic moment! Montoya passing Schui at Nürburgring

There was quite an uproar after the brilliant move that Juan Pablo made over Michael on the Dunlop curve at the European Grand Prix. Montoya gained more and more ground over Michael and was right in his mirrors approaching Dunlop. Michael was obviously fighting to keep his position but Montoya had more grip so he went hard to the left. Schui ran wide and they touched leaving Michael spinning and half on, half off the track. Marshals ran to his aid and pushed him back on to the track to rejoin the race (a legal move.)

After the race Ross Brawn expressed anger towards Montoya and called him "crude" as well as "a driver with no class." Schui brushed it off and defended Montoya's move as a racing move and that he probably would have done the same thing in his position.

Pizzonia gets the sack

Poor old Pizzonia gets the boot from Jaguar after a string of unsuccessful results in comparison to Mark Webber. It was no secret that people had accused Jaguar of allowing Pizzonia to drive for the team prematurely. Others blamed "The curse of the second seat."

Justin Wilson replaced Pizzonia and made an improvement allowing the Brit to gain valuable experience in his first season. I don't know about you but I can't help feeling sorry for Pizzonia because he was under immense pressure to perform whilst knowing that he could be sacked at any moment.

The Silverstone Protester

I think most of us had our hearts in our mouths when we caught our first glimpse of a man in a skirt at the British Grand Prix. Father Horan ran up the Hanger straight right in front of the cars, which were travelling at 200mph.

We were very lucky that no one was injured during the Irishman's protest as the cars came around the bend at high speed. We did cheer though when the marshal tackled him. There was a lot of discussion about track security following the man's arrest.

Firman crashes at Hungary

During Saturday morning warm-up Firman's Jordan lost its rear wing and sent Ralph smashing in to a tyre wall. The accident looked awful but Firman escaped with a bruised foot and stiffness. Zsolt Baumgartner took his place for the weekend.

He also missed Monza because of an inner ear problem as a result of his accident. He described his condition, as "feeling constantly drunk," should save money at the pub then!

Just goes to show how unpredictable F1 cars can be from time to time.

Alonso's first win

Alonso's win at Hungary was a bit special. He became the youngest person ever to win a Grand Prix. Not only that, he is also the first Spaniard ever to win a Grand Prix.

By the third lap of the race Alonso was seven seconds ahead of the rest of the pack. By the seventh he was sixteen seconds clear. He kept pushing and kept concentrating the whole way through the race even during his pit stops and with ten laps to go he even overtook Michael Schumacher. Like Kimi Raikkonen, I believe that this man will win a World Championship and he can only get better.

Button leads the U.S Grand Prix I am a big Jenson Button and Honda fan so I couldn't believe my eyes when he led the Grand Prix for 15 laps (the first time he had ever led a GP.) He switched to the new compound wet tyre from Bridgestone at just the right time and proved just what the B.A.R was capable of.

Michael Schumacher predictably overtook him later on but his dream of a first ever podium was shattered when his engine blew. I was gutted for him but at the same time pleased to see him have a bit of glory.

I think that we still have a lot more to see in Button over the next year or so and maybe a podium position next season?

Schumacher's record sixth World Championship

Well, I had to put it in didn't I? I have been a fan of Schui from the start and can't believe what I have seen him do over the years. He drove a difficult race and with mistakes (colliding with Sato and his brother.) He looked far from his usual confident self but still got the job done. As well as breaking the World Championship record he took Ferrari to a record fifth consecutive Constructors Championship.

It is a shame that there was no ceremony on the day though and it seemed like a bit of an anti-climax.

And finally...

Every weekend when I switched on the T.V I would wait with anticipation for Martin Brundle's grid walk! There have been some classic moments for me. I just love watching him bustling through the crowds hoping to find someone good to talk to.

My favourite moments are as follows - Jim Rosenthal singing happy birthday to Martin, Ralf Schumacher saying the track at Monte Carlo was "dirty and shitty," Ozzy Osbourne saying his dogs were at home "shitting on the carpet," And Martin going to talk to Kimi but he ran off, Martin then went on to say "Ah, he must be going for a panic wee wee. That's his second one."

Now I've told you what I think about this season why don't you e-mail us and give us your views. We will put the best ones on the site.
