    (Sorry to rain on the parade - if you forgive the pun - but the forever hyped 1991 Spanish GP was rain affected - the resulting slower speeds allowed the forever cited very close side by side racing in that race pictured in that article - I always say the McLaren dominance of 1984 ended the era of close racing - up until then years like 1978 or 1963 were the exception not the norm like today)
