yes, there was a incredibly long run of bizarre or controversial races in 2008 - all the way from Monaco to Interlagos (only except Shanghai really)
2008 was an enjoyable season because of this bizarre run of events where the championship contenders seemed to keep shooting themselves in the foot. This was quite similar to 1999 in a way - another great season.
There have been some very good seasons in the 2nd half of this decade, starting with 2005. Each season after that has had a good championship battle.
However, i think my favourite season is also 2003, although i only started closely following F1 in the mid-1990s. The fact that there were 3 teams in the championship hunt made it particularly good, whereas most other championship battles have only featured 2 teams.
