Have I said how much I hate the summer break?
So let's keep our F1 brains going and not all just wander away for the month. Some hypothetical scenarios. Add you own, what COULD have happened in F1 if.....
What if.....
in 1994 Damon Hill wasn't taken out of the race by Michael Schumacher and had gone on to win the 1994 WDC? Hill would have entered 1995 without the monkey on his back, and been less about revenge and more about racing. The number of incidents he was involved in could have been reduced, resulting in wins in Britain and Canada at the very least, and we may have seen back-to-back championships. Follow that up with his actual win in 1996, would Williams have been so keen to dump a triple world champion, or would he have stayed to gain the 1997 title? Maybe a move to McLaren at the end of that season to replace Mika Hakkinen who had at that point spent 7 seasons in F1 (5 with McLaren) only registering 1 win at the end of '97. A dominant McLaren in '97 & '98, and we may well be looking back at the "golden" era of Hill's 6 consecutive WDC titles.

The entirety of the mid 90's is a blur and I didn't pick up F1 again until after the Ferrari run. 
But we both agree the red cars were bad
