    Such a frustrating year for me, a Williams and Keke diehard fan :-D
    Fanhood spoils our ability to appreciate certain events for their pure beauty and the 1983 season was absurdly competitive and contested.
    I need to check if there is a YT channel with all races in a playlist and might rewatch that season from a new perspective.
    Well, not completely new, as the frustration won't go away completely, however, I will finally be able to appreciate the driving skills and racecraft of drivers I rabidly hated: Piquet, Laffite and Prost :-D

    @vava74 - If you find that elusive YT channel, can you please post the link - merci. Love those years too.

    Yeah, it will be difficult. F1 monitors stuff closely and I believe they shut down anything that rises above a certain visibility profile.
    Just checked: I have F1TV subscription and the have 60min highlight reels for all races and just one complete race (Monza).
    That's better than nothing, so let me plunge in and see if being restricted to 60m highlights will be a plus or a minus :-D

    I love it! The humpback styling of these 84 cars is really cool. The Renault and Williams especially, what with all the winglets and stuff they look so chunky. The 84 Alfa is such a great looking car you can almost forgive its poor performance.
