The 2008 season was one of the most memorable in Formula 1 history. It was full of drama and controversy, the rise of new stars and the decline of old ones, and an epic battle for the Championship between Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton that wasn’t resolved until the last corner of the last lap of the last race. Four different drivers led the Championship at one time or another, but how would things look if the season was run in reverse, with the Brazilian Grand Prix being the season opener, and the Australian Grand Prix being the season finale? Obviously, it goes without saying that the end result remains the same, with Lewis Hamilton winning the Drivers’ Championship by one point from Felipe Massa and Ferrari winning the Constructors’ Championship by 21 points from McLaren; but it does drastically alter the trajectory of the two respective title fights and gives a new perspective on where Championships can be won and lost. This is the first video in a new series where I shall cover various Formula 1 seasons in this manner. As I’m essentially running time in reverse and cannot change any outcomes, a bit of artistic license will have to be taken with historical facts, particularly pertaining to seasons that had driver deaths. 2008, fortunately is not one that did, and there were also no driver changes or transfers, if you ignore the collapse of Super Aguri four races in, so this is a fairly easy starting point. With that out of the way, let’s see how the 2008 Formula 1 season looks when run in reverse.
