ferrari won the constructors championship in 1999 if memory serves therefore rubens car would be number 2 even though it was his first year driving with shewie for the team in 2000.
Ruben was number 4 , Mikka Hakkinen won the drivers championship in 1999 so for 2000 Mclaren cars ran 1 and 2 and Ferrari ran 3 and 4 , if memory serves me right that was the year Schumacher bust his leg half way through the season at silverstone , the winner of the drivers championship always wear number one the following season no matter how the constructors finnished .
I've watched the F1 for 42 years now and shuwie ranks very near the bottom of my personal list, don't like his underhanded race tactics, or the way he got his god like attitude and won so many chmpionships only due to the fact he had the best car cos ferrari had the most money to spend (and donate (ahem) to the FIA). now there's a cap on spending ferrari struggle with their upgrades like everyone else, it's all to do with driving ability again and this season is great, its almost like watching Hill snr, Andretti, Prost, Hunt, Mansell and the man himself Mr Ayrton Senna da Silva.
Anyway sorry for posting and digressing on your thread Peter, went on a rant there eh?
I`m building a Lotus 25 and martini 79 as we speak , will post some pics at the weekend.
Schumacher and Senna both come out of the win at all costs mould , Alain Prost will vouch for that with Senna , saying that Senna`s still one of my all time favourite drivers along with Mansell always gave 100% , Johnny Herbert I was at brands for the formula ford festival in the 80`s what a fantastic drive , and the late great Jim Clark , I never saw him race ( to young ) but he was my Dads hero and still is his hero to this day , taken from us far to early in a poxy nothing formula 2 race.
here it is 1 tamiya lotus belonging to mr j herbert sorry about the ferrari next to it but they are my older builds when i was not so good at it i plan to do another lotus to replace my older one
