Senna was only one point ahead of his teammate
he retired 2-3 times out of the lead iirc
so basically most of his finishes were on the podium
which is actually pretty impressive
The 1992 Mclaren was the worst mclaren
actually Renault and Williams were the quicker car in 91
but were still unreliable
and Senna was super quick that season
yeah but a bunch of its tech gizmos were also unreliable
Mansell didnt score any points in the first 3 races iirc
Senna won the first 4 races
Yeah also the 1991 had a semi automatic transmission too
Instead of the manual
Or was that the 1992 season
1990 Ferrari had a semi
cause their gearbox was unreliable as well
89 was the first one with a semi-auto I think
Ah ok
but Mansell complained of how unreliable it was
he even threatened to retire I think at the end of 1990
before Frank persuaded him to go back to Williams
i dont think he threatened
rather he took a sabbatical to have a chance at a competitive seat
Yea
Ferrari misunderstood Prosts words when he called it a truck after he had some damage to the car I think
and assumed he called the car itself a truck
only Ferrari will fire their drivers for a misunderstanding
Must’ve been terrible
the comment was when Prost sustained damage to his car
and in the pouring rain
and said the car handled like a truck in those circumstances
I don’t think it was that
either way he was already criticizing the team and the car before that
“In Japan, the car was like a horrible truck to drive. No pleasure at all. I've underlined the defects of the Ferrari throughout the season, but no-one has listened to a word”.
day 91 of f1 first wins
juan pablo montoya - 2001 italian gp
And the podium ceremonies were muted out of respect for the 9/11 attacks
Already into the 2000s, wow
Will you finish this thing on #f1-hq-photos-and-videos ?
Or is it another chat
Any idea who this is
nop
DC
me?
That looks like a child of David Coulthard and Rami Malek
Since this year marks the 35th anniversary since F1 first raced at Suzuka, Here's an onboard view of what the track looked like back then
I am not going to unsee this now😭
Ayrton Senna chops Keke Rosberg up and then Nelson Piquet slams into him. Piquet's out on the spot, but Rosberg continued, finishing an incredible 3rd.
mansell got past senna coz, rosberg, one lap down blocked senna after that, mansell went on to win his first f1 race. senna ran out of fuel, still bagged p4 tho
Prost > Senna
Xhaka
"Because I am quicker than all of you!"
That is basically Matra V2
until 1982 i would say
which is interestingly enough when they start to be irrelevant (bar 1985-1986)
World Drivers Champions won using the number that is the amount of cylinders of the car (e.g. #8 with an 8 cylinder engine)
Note: the drivers numbers are changed at each race before 1974)
1958 - #6 Mike Hawthorn 🇬🇧 (Ferrari 143 V6 2.4L)
1963 - #8 Jim Clark 🇬🇧 (Climax FWMV V8 1.5L)
1975 - #12 Niki Lauda 🇦🇹 (Ferrari 015 F12 3.0L)
1987 - #6 Nelson Piquet 🇧🇷 (Honda RA167E V6 turbo 1.5L)
2016 - #6 Nico Rosberg 🇩🇪 (Mercedes PU106C V6 turbo hybrid 1.6L) (outside the scope of this channel)
Paul Ricard 1986
👍🏼
Those cars were something special
The unraced Honda
Would have loved to see it race. It's a shame it was sidelined by Harvey Postlethwaite's unfortunate death
Nicee
Notice the gear changes
what about this?
Tbh the 80s-early 90s cars were pretty good looking
same thing
In 1988 the Pope visited Ferrari’s workshops and blessed one or more of their current Formula 1 Grand Prix cars.
It's still surprising that Jim somehow managed to detect that one of his wheel bearings were about to fail when his team initially thought that his car was faultless until after they had a look at the faulty wheel bearing afterwards
i mean he was the driver
generally its easier to feel something is wrong within the car when you are the driver
and also jim clark just had like 4 extra senses in his body
Yes
What car is that?
Zakspeed 861
38 gear changes on the opening lap
Every lap
No, on the opening lap.
Every lap is going to have around 38 gear changes
1995, 2001, and 2002 are the best intros imo
That too 😂😂😂
I feel like when Clark got in a car, he didn’t just get into it, he became a part of it
Honestly an incredible driver, one who’s talents we may never see again
The first sense is for F1, the second sense is for the Indy 500, the third sense is for F2, and the fourth sense is for touring car racing
The absurdities of the 1950s
not really absurd
they were filming onboard footage from fangio in a test track iirc
(this is not the one im referring to btw)
but this is basically a 50 year old fangio in a ferrari at monaco
The good old days, where the words health and safety were not known 😂
Proust and senna crash
Hey guys, I want to make a project for school about F1 evolution for people who know nothing about F1 for a history class. We're just entering WW2, so it should propably focus on the beggining of F1 till the post-war era, I guess, maybe I'll go till today, depending on how much detail I wanna put into it.
Thoughs? Any tips on what I should focus in terms of eras and in general when explaining the era itself?
sure
@sour moon apologies for ping but there’s a server link whwre it shouldn’t be
where*
Where?
1950s Juan Manuel Fangio
Ascari too
Ronnie Peterson in the Lotus 72E during the Monaco Grand Prix in 1974. Mr. Peterson took the checkered flag and the first points for Lotus that season.
👍
Was Fittipaldi and Peterson teammates or did Peterson replace Fittipaldi?
🤢
the best car............... and don't lie
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree
F2002>>>>>>>
F2002 got a podium in every single race it competed in
But it looks worse
I can’t wait until next year where the F2002 will be allowed in this chat
no
im sorry
but it ain't happening
Best Ferrari F1 car ever made
gags
no its the bt 45 of 1976
Definitely top 5
Well it should be allowed cuz its already been 20 years since it debuted i guess
the channel title says 🕰️ Anything Formula One before 2002
before>2002
this is cool

Damon Hill F1 World Champion!!!
Last BBC Coverage until 2009.
Why did Damon leave Williams? Or did Williams decide not to renew his contract?
I never understood that
firstly focus on technological innovations
and then the drivers
the champions the teams and the whatnot
its important that you dont be too thorough
the 50s can be very confusing though
nope, no Lauda
Damon didnt leave Williams
they decided not to sign him in the middle of 1996
when all the top seats were filled by then
and Damons only choice was at Arrows
either because of Frank Williams shenanigans
or his disastrous 95 season
Yeah I remember someone saying that because of his terrible 1995 season, they signed Frentzen at the beginning of the 1996 season.
no he could have gone to McLaren but wanted too much cash

There's like a second where there's a distant flyby shot... Aaaugh
oh thanks!
Remember that time in 1937 when they used the left hander Eau Rouge instead of the full Raidillon
Or that time they skipped Raidillon in 1994 for safety reasons
because the straight wasnt there yet
oh yea, i remember back when i used to sit next to Fangio in class
Even further
Rosemeyer?
1950 yeah
because it;s 1946
1950 is the first F1 championship, but the first F1 race was in 1946
oh bruh
Lol
Lewis Carl Davidson Johnson Peters Stinson McKay Hamilton
Lol
1946?
1950 was the first championship
Ah
KEKWait i got this paper in school today
😂 yeah its the times nie i got that from my little brother
😂
1950 i think
q3: charles leclerc max verstappen
if your talking about the first championship race
then 1950
but non-championship wise its 1946
since it was post-war racing
pre-war racing was not considered formula 1 or linked to it at all
before that it was called Formula Libre

Folks might appreciate this more in this channel. I saw one of the last few Lauda Air livery planes!
:O
That car looks very funny
Lauda
Where the f2002 sat 20 years ago
what track is that?
Which year was the race where there were only 6 cars
Was that 05'?
that was US 05 yes
Yeah 05
time to make the Michaelin issue again
huh
Subaru-Motori Moderni
Which airport?
damn that's very pre-2002
Yes
for some reasons, few teams picked up on this raised nose in 1991
only Benetton and Dallara
Dallara picking the budget option, raise the whole wing
which is what McLaren tried as well
guess they didn't like it since they didn't have a raised nose until 95
The front wing looks like a plank
front wings were very simple until 2009 i'd say
Yeah
Damn... Why's my downforce worse?
I’d say around the mid 2000s
this genuinely looks like if a 90s f1 car and a indycar had a baby
In this angle it just looks like indycar to me
Just various f1 cars taking to the track. Good event to see!!!! @Ferrari @FORMULA 1 @Racer X
This reminds me of when I drawed f1 cars when I was 8
Also because it doesn’t even have mirrors
Like a Hot Wheels
Cool pics
Last driver to get his first win in the USA

When Alesi basically carried Tyrrell for a season and a half
and then chose Ferrari over Williams.
i mean to be fair at the time it looked to be a good decision
Ferrari were just runner ups in the 1990 drivers and constructors
and theres also the glory of being a great Ferrari driver
it did ye
I like some of the older ones better tbh but it still is a beautiful car. That’s saying something because I don’t like/love Ferrari
2005?
Yeah. The F2004 and the 248 F1 never had that extension at the bottom
i have a model of it and it is called 2005, maybe it was an evolution in 2004 and kept that for 2005
They raced the 2004M in the first few races in 2005
ah that's why then
the f2004 was fast but not for 2005
they tought it was but it wasn't
2005 was a bad year for Ferrari because of their Bridgestone tires
Tire regs screwed them over
2005 would have been Ferrari's 1st winless season since 1993, if Indianapolis never went down as it did
it was still quick
just the consequence of having tyres that arent as good as Michelins
Sweden's finest
@slow grail so far the first f1 wins series is over. Thank you for doing it anyways
Name the car
Where’s that
Minardi m186 at San Marino
sao paulo
im gonna return and take some good pictures with my camera
Great profile picture, JGTC always based
Wait a minute, that's the M185, not the M186
um
During the 1968 Großer Preis von Deutschland, Jackie Stewart races the Matra MS10 to victory at the Nürburgring. Many consider it to be the greatest victory in Formula One history. Mr. Stewart won the race by four minutes over Graham Hill despite driving fourteen laps with a broken wrist in rainy and foggy conditions.
I’ve got to say, the 60s were probably one of the most “Honorary” decades of F1, the 50s were just a little too new for most of them and it hadn’t fully taken form as the greatest motorsport, and after that it has just been the F1 we know, but the 60s were just different, the drivers knew they were putting their lives on the line every single race, more than any other decade if you ask me, and yet they had some of the most incredible triumphs. Hill, Stewart, Clark, all of them absolute legends.
day 1 of teams first wins: Alfa Romeo, 1950 British GP
My Dad met David Coulthard the same year as that red bull livery
Is that in Edinburgh?
What track is this?
yeah it is
Brands Hatch most likely
Brands Hatch and that picture seems to have been taken in 1970
nice, love seeing these kinds of things
I love history
And F1
day 3 of teams first wins: benetton, 1986 Mexican GP
I'd assume this is in no order?
alphabetic
ah
green bmw
biblical
it's also gerhard's first win
massive turbo energy
Gerhard Berger on a quick lap in his Benetton B186 at the Adelaide Street Cicuit in 1986.
Since it was the last race before taking effect of the boost pressure limitation it is probably the most powerful F1 car ever.
The 1500cm³ inline-four engine with up to 5.5bar (80psi) of single-turbo boost pressure revs up to 11500rpm with an estimated powe...
fun fact, Gerhard's first and last wins are also Benetton's first and last wins.
they had classic f1 cars at cota
dont know if anyone was there
but it was pretty cool
Benetton's last win was also their first and only win under an Italian license
alphabetic, by every constructor in history
the benetton driver was destroying everyone
question, should I separate alpine and Renault or nah
until one lotus driver pulled a gr63
you already answered this by separating benetton
true
how tf did i fuck that up lol
how did you mix up red bull and Benetton lmao
they both run slicks
technically you should, now it's your rankings 😉
alright
plus I’ve already separated alphatauri and toro Rosso
i bet senna would've love to drive in this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjpJNykIXFs his car that year wasn't too shabby
Enhanced footage of Ayrton Senna doing a Q lap for the 1986 British GP (please watch in 720p60), in a turbo-charged Lotus 98T which produced more than 1000hp in qualifying trim.
it was a lot better tbh, cause more driveable
And more reliable cause Renault engine
it was indeed quite reliable for the time, helped with the new pneumatic valves (now a standard) that prevents overrevving it
This video is about a Renault RE40 (chassis RE40-04) I recorded during the 2017 and 2018 editions of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It was Renault's F1 car for the 1983 season, driven by Alain Prost and Eddie Cheever, and it was able to achieve 4 wins, 3 pole positions and many podium finishes but which weren't enough to win the Constructors' C...
true i guess
but still
if gerhard could drive and somehow control that benetton, imagine how senna would've drove it
Senna + the most powerful engine on the grid would be interesting, but the Benetton and Lotus chassis are different, so that's one other factor to consider.
i'm not sure Senna would have done a lot more than Berger in that car
It's kinda interesting to note that Berger had 2 more career fastest laps than Senna did
Berger: 21
Senna: 19
The only record that Senna didn’t do well in I guess
Prost had 41
Just comes to show how great his racecraft was
Salut, Monsieur Prost
day 4 of teams first wins: BMW-Sauber, 2008 Canadian GP

At the 1984 Großer Preis von sterreich, Niki Lauda becomes the first and only Austrian to win his home Grand Prix. Mr. Lauda had gearbox problems while leading and had to finish the race with only third and fifth gear working, but he was still 23 seconds ahead of Nelson Piquet.
What's these corners at Kyalami called? I'm trying to find them on the modern circuit but I'm dumb.
Barbeque and Jukskei sweep
He won because prost spun out

Prost spun out because of a failing gearbox and ran over some oil from de Angelis' Lotus
on lap 29

day 5 of teams first f1 wins: brabham, 1964 French GP
Damn their story is so sad
Both deserved more in their careers
yeah :/ but they’ve not been forgotten, at all
Anyone know this F1 car?
@oblique dock
Do ya think you can help me
Must be an Australian driver or team
or Sponsor
Judging by the helmet, the driver would be Mike Thackwell. And as for the car, it is most likely the 1985 RAM machine.
Sorry for the late reply

what do you guys think is better? Ayrtons senna with the 1988 mclaren or Michael Schumacher with F2004
Schumacher, because his teammate worked for him
ye and a 100% podium score
that's the F2002 😄
also 2004 right?
no, he had a few DNFs
ooooooh
for instance Monaco, when he was leading
the car itself thoigh had a 100% podium score
cause when Michael did not have a podium, Rubens did
he did that in 2002, which is mad
ye
and this year, Ferrari scored as many points as all the other teams combined
which is mathematically impossible nowadays

Quality takes time!
I mean seriously, where else can you find 4 hours of onboard hd footage of a classic race car
I liked the other channel because the sound quality was spectacular, and most of the shot was from behind the car or cameras attached outside the car.
Nvm I’m thinking about another video of his
I don’t remember entirely, but didn’t Jim want to race in a touring car race, or something similar, on the day?
But instead he was kind of forced by Lotus, to race in F2 at Hockenheim.
what Wikipedia says is he had contractual obligations with Firestone
whats crazy is that it looks straight out of a game

cars faster then the 2014 ferrari
Terrifying

Carlos Reutemann defied team orders in 1981 to allow Alan Jones to pass and win the Grande Prèmio do Brasil. Mr. Jones was supposed to win if the William FW07C's were in a 1-2 position, according to his contract. The Argentine did not want to let this Grand Prix slip away, and he crossed the finish line 4,4 seconds ahead of his teammate.
More about it at: https://www.racefans.net/2010/08/18/the-drivers-who-defied-team-orders/
Belgium 1998, Austria 2002, Germany 2010, and Russia 2018 would have all been different stories if team orders were ignored during those races
San Marino 1982 if team orders were applied.. and same race 89
Senna breaking the restart packed really kicked off the rivalry
Yeah
Ayrton is the full responsible of the start the Rivaly in McLaren team
If Ayrton didn't break that packed in Imola, Alain maybe would stay in McLaren for 1990
Ayrton and Alain are my favorite drivers in F1, but in that race, Ayrton made a terrible mistake in amazing respect between them
inside the car, he didn't use his brain as much as Alain did
Talk about an unintentional payback
This picture is from Alain Prost’s Instagram from two days ago. I noticed Steve Nicholas in the background. Does anybody see anybody else that is recognizable in the picture?
Yeah
Damon literally fuming over the controversial championship costing crash with Michael
no, i only recognize Steve Nichols as well
he was a race engineer then, so it's possible the others were mechanics or sth
Even angry he looks like a mouse
Matthew Jeffreys is also there, he was a design engineer and now runs the page "car_profile_art" on insta
Could someone send the link to the final publication report on the senna crash?
awww look at alain... happiest sixty something year old i've ever seen
"There are no pants in here. I'm just winging it."
i think hes 67 68 already?
all i remember is that hes around 5 years older than Senna
Prost is 67
Sepang 2013
Multi-21
seb, multi 21

Normally I find Alain to be a very cool and relaxed character, but I never expected him to be quite energetic as well
Yeah same
It’s just me or the 312T was used a lot as a Test car on which to test a lot of new stuff? For example the six wheeler idea, this idea…
(The 312T8 that I won’t count since it’s photoshop from the 70s)
Well the 312T series is the most successful car design in F1 history, so there’s been a lot of different versions of them.
he would be really missed

Jean Alesi '4 wheels sliding' through Monaco with his Tyrrell in 1990. John Watson was imo the best F1 commentator ever.
Tyrrel
he qualified 3rd and finished 2nd that race
who won?
senna is the best in the 80s
.truth
Prost > Senna
🤷♂️
senna was the harry potter in f1
but he also did insane things with middlefield cars
wikipedia say other things
Lotus wasn't a midfielder when he was there
his car was consistently fast, and when he had a good teammate, said teammate was also consistently fast
after said teammate left, he got to veto good drivers from joining
and skill is skill schumacher and prost also had the best cars
he was fast but drove too hard for his cars
2 of them where top position
that's why i think Prost was the better one, he might not be the fastest of the two, but he cared for his car more, and used his brain to get the points when he couldn't win
Senna only wanted to win
with a toleman thats like if ypu drive sauber to podiu
2nd place is the first of the losers
yep, like this Alesi Tyrrell mentioned earlier 🙂
these cars didn't belong to podium positions
senna is like max
max also riskfully
in many ways yes
thats skill of him but if senna drove more safty
he where mor succesful
Prost won more titles in the 1980s than Senna
1985 1986 1989
he would have, but he did not do that
(coincidentally, Piquet won the same amount of titles in that decade)
senna list 2 wcs in suzuka
lost*
and he started in the inside in suzuka
and then nexr year cuz of crash they gave prost the wcs
Senna wouldn't have won 1989 because he had many car related DNF's during the season while Prost had more race finishes and podiums. Even if he won in Japan and Australia, it wouldn't be enough to win over Prost
Senna wouldn't have won 1988 as well, had that year's points system not been used, as Prost technically outscored Senna that year
In tv they said it was head to head race like dubai 2021
that decides all
but in my opinion senna had so much skill
imagine ¾ of the races dnfs
and the from 6 races that he finished he had 2 podium with a toleman thats likw if you have a podium with alfa romeo now these days
and that was his first season
also take into account the fact that at the time, a top team mostly meant having a reliable car, while the other cars just broke all the time
and you had less than 10 finishers quite often
Wikipedia isn't always right. You have to use reliable sources, like Autosport, Motorsport, statsf1, etc.
wikipedia 💀
Are you guys teachers or something?
No I never said I was, I'm saying Wikipedia isn't as reliable as other sources.
Senna won 14 races and held 26 pole positions, while Prost won 11 races and held four pole positions. Prost, on the other hand, finished with 186 points, 25 podiums, and 12 fastest laps, while Senna finished with 154 points, 18 podiums, and 6 fastest laps.
last time i checked, he never got married

wikipedia is a goof website
good*
its helped me so much in my lufe

This is coming from Wikipedia themselves.
But hear me out

If Wikipedia, an unreliable source, is saying it's an unreliable source, doesn't that make it a reliable source?
But if it's a reliable source, if it says it's unreliable, it is unreliable, which would make the Wikipedia paradox
usually reliable, but people make it unreliable on purpose
which those people try to fix it to make it reliable
so basically, editing war
No
I wasn't being serious 😭
bro wtf man i thought wikipedia is not a reliable source
It is super reliable
bro says wikipedia sources is a not reliable but sending wikipedia sources
They are saying they aren't reliable
so don't trust everything they say
it's different lol
Wikipedia is reliable most of the time
It’s not. It says it on their website. “Wikipedia is not a reliable source for citations elsewhere on Wikipedia. As a user-generated source, it can be edited by anyone at any time, and any information it contains at a particular time could be vandalism, a work in progress, or simply incorrect.”
If you want F1 related news or facts try f1stats out!
it's my #1 source for most f1 stuff
Jacques Laffite of Equipe Ligier leads teammate Patrick Depailler throughout the 1979 Brazilian Grand Prix, never falling behind. Due to the new "ground effect" of the Ligier JS11, he smashed the 1975 pole position record by seven seconds, set the fastest lap, and won one of his six Grand Prix.
Brabham BT45B & BT46 Prototype
this car was a underrated masterpiece imo
Carlos Reutemann (Ferrari 312B 76), Jody Scheckter (Wolf WR1), Carlos Pace (Brabham BT45) and Emerson Fittipaldi (Copersucar FD04 '76) testing at Paul Ricard Le Castellet circuit in December 1976
The Martini Brabhams looked and sounded great
flat-12 is always a win in terms of sound

true
Anyone know what grand prix this was? i know the year was 1987
Was it when Nelson Piquet won?
I only know the year nothing else thats why im asking
Oh, I think it was the Monaco Grand Prix, I might be wrong.
wonder if Niki would still have retired if they used the DFV earlier than.. the race he decided he had had enough
"I don't think- That didn't work! That didn't work, Michael! You hit the wrong part of him, my friend!"
Still managed to cause huge damage to the Williams' battery housings
😂
Im somehow in the mood to watch the entire 1982 season
I don’t know how to watch it
But I want to
it’s on f1tv
Does anyone else think Christian Fittipaldi looks like discount Sainz?
Riccardo Patrese's first race for Williams, Australia 1987
He subbed for Nigel Mansell after Mansell suffered a heavy crash at Suzuka
Tbh i dont remember his face
look at the size of this tin can on wheels... smollll
Despite the, frankly rare, loud Japanese commentary, you can just hear Ayrton dabbing the throttle of his turbocharged samurai https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJemzc6LusM&ab_channel=d5j4v
Extract of the French 1988 GP. You can listen to the different approaches that were used by both McLaren drivers related to the RA168E turbo engine. Ayrton Senna with his throttle technique and Prost with a more conventional driving style. Pay atention to the low-mid speed curves (not to the very low, 1st-2nd gear)
My early PS work
He did that to get higher revs throughout the corner to get a better exit speed. Using that technique is also very good in the rain and he became known for his insane wet weather drives.
F1 testing at Monza, 1992, parabolica corner.
If you close your eyes and listen, you can tell which one is Senna’s
I am listening to an interview of mario andretti from 14 years ago.
Interviewer: Yesterday, you were talking to ron dennis about driving a mclaren f1 car. you have never driven a mclaren, will it happen?
Mario: Unfortunately no.
Later in the interview Mario described the time when he first met Mauro, and the other Ferrari personnel.
"They thought I was an American who couldnt speak Italian. So they were talking about me, making jokes in Italian. Nothing offensive. So I pretended to go along with it. Later I spoke to Mauro in pure Italian and the colour drained out of his face."
haha
The first comment lol
I am thinking about getting tickets for Hungary next year. What is the situation at the track in terms of parking, public transport, toilets, food and drinks, etc. I saw the Google reviews but if anyone has first hand experience please share.
(English in not my first language)
(Also i dont know where to post this.)
#chill-chat I'd say after the race drama calms down
But to host f1 you need to have a decent experience for the fans so I'm sure it's fine
I was there during the last gp here are my suggestions:
-
Public transportations back to Budapest are really hard and not fun ( You will be in a train that is full with people have have zero space and no air conditioning for over an hour ) and then a metro which is ok.
-
Food is not the best I recommend buying some food before and getting there ready. Its also not cheap.
-
But tickets for a sit not the general admission , it sucks ( and you will not find a good place I promise you that ).
-
toilets are good actually .
-
About drinks, you will have more then enough Alcohol and water but I do suggest brining water and some kind of sun protection like sunscreen and a good hat.
-
I didn't get there by a car but getting there by a taxi on any day of the weekend ( race weekend ) was almost impossible and getting out is even harder and almost impossible ( or you will have to wait 3-4 hours !).
About the merch pricing, its ok but isn't cheap.
Other then that the race was amazing and the people are really nice, I would totally suggest going to the race if you find a good way to get back to your hotel and you buy a sit and not the general admission. If you have any questions you can DM them to me.
Thanks
It's still pretty amazing to me that this British Samurai is still the most dominant F1 car ever made. Because didn't it win all but one race?
Actually I think it also stayed within the podium positions for most of the 88 season as well
To be honest, I feel like the Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid should've have won 21 races out of the 21. They loss at the Spanish Grand Prix because both of them collided, and at the Malaysian Grand Prix Lewis was leading the race when his engine blew up, and Nico Rosberg was spun in the first corner of the first lap...
and the W07 still holds a lot of impressive records such as, Most podiums in a season, Most wins in a season, Most pole positions in a season with highest percentage, etc.
I'd say the top two Mercedes F1 cars (in no particular order) would be the W07 and the W11
I agree, I mean Lewis Hamilton even said that he believes the W11 is the best F1 car Mercedes has ever produced
The thing in my opinion is the Kawasaki Ninja H2R of F1 cars
It just goes like hell
anyways gotta go
Isn't it more about Boost control tho? Or did they have Anti-Lag by then?
Could’ve been to not sure
monaco 82, baby
So interesting
Wow it looks like a mix of an indycar and F1
Or are my eyes rlly that bad?
Beautiful car also
just slap one on the nose they won't suspect anything
who dis
Jim Clark
The one with the helmet is Stirling Moss
man they didnt even include them all 😔
unless im just bad at math
Hawthorne
Moss
Brooks
Collins
G. Hill
D. Hill
Clark
Stewart
Coulthard
Button
Hamilton
Russell
Herbert
Mansell
Surtees
Gethin
Irvine
Hunt
And I'm missing 2 more...
I think you're missing John Watson
One of the two most forgettable drivers on the list
the other being Gethin
(even though he won the closest ever F1 finish at Monza, which is pretty notable)
The closest finish ever to appear in F1 History with the first five racers being separated by 0.61 seconds!
1:51
Look at how close the top five were!!
The top five were separated by 6 tenths
Simply mind boggling
I actually had to replay the finish in slow motion just to see how close they really were
With F1 returning to Zandvoort in 2020, Here are 3 laps of the old circuit from 1983 with Alain Prost driving the Renault RE40.
The sense of speed is just thrilling
FOV aside, Prost's driving and the sound of the Renault V6 at full song really captures the early 1980's turbo era very well
(1986 Australian G.P.) on board camera
the sound of the late Renault engine 👌
Original video: https://youtu.be/rKi--Dzi6ZM
Honestly, one of the most beautiful V6 noise i have ever heard along with the Famous Lancia Stratos and Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI.
Wanted to make this little compilation to keep just the best noise of that italian V6. Have fun listening it !
Imagine an entire grid of 1980's F1 cars with this exhaust layout being used
I'm surprised Ferrari were the only ones who thought of using the layout
I'm also going to assume it was a 6-1 exhaust, which explains the exhaust note
they really were quite ingenious when Harvey Postlesthwaite was there
RIP Harvey
Who knows what the Honda F1 project would have been capable of if he didn't die
No, a Narrow forward facing view shows a lack of speed, a wide field of view will looks faster because the edges “move faster” to our brains
my bad, put it the other way around
so now on the onboard cameras, the fov is narrow and then it was wide?
I’d say so, but prosts is mounted so high which is strange
I think the bumpiness is part of the reason it feels so fast
The general recipe for fast feeling video is fixed mount, wide fov, low height, and bumpiness
So the vid ticks 3 of those boxes
Onboard of Riccardo Patrese during Williams pre-season test in 1989 and 1990.
i dont like the way the 1989 williams looks idk why
Is it the airbox i think? I forgot the name of the top thing on the car
Holy shit im bad at writing 💀
Ya it was different lol
Before the FW13 was used for the rest of 1989 and 1990, the FW12C was used
The FW12C is very underrated imo
‘James Hunt, a former world champion, tested the FW12C in preparation for a potential comeback. In December 1989, he conducted a covert test at the Paul Ricard Circuit and set fast speeds, but ultimately chose not to get back in the driver's seat.’
FW12B
FW11C
ickx on the race feed saying he refused to win the 1970 title because rindt couldn’t defend his fight since he couldn’t do the last 4 races
it would have made it meaningless cause he would have beaten a ghost, basically
How is this classic?
Bro thinks he funny

There will never be anybody like Gilles
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
https://youtu.be/9SmrV-FFC1w?t=26 wait wtf Jackie Stewart almost called Gilles, Jacques
I never knew that it ever wouldve happened
maybe because he had Laffite on his mind
the car was so bad anyway, it probably didn't handle a lot differently without the front wing
According to Enzo, Gilles was the Saint of Destruction, the polar opposite of Jim Clark, he pushed every component to the limit
So what seasons are we watching this offseason?
90-2022
atleast i'll try
i should start now tbh
maybe i'll go to the 80s
damn hardcore
my guess is I'll get through 5 or 6
been watching 82, hoping to either go chronologically or jump up around a bit
what I really need to know are the seasons worth skipping
actually i lied
im now watching the 70s season review 
jochen died and still won the title
facts
like part of me wants to just witness 2002
but like... how many hours can I watch of utter domination
a bit random what season have what available on f1tv
I ended up watching the shitty 60 minute 2000s recut of the 82 detroit grand prix instead of the 40 minute original broadcast highlights 😭
yeah i feel you, i wanna learn as much of formula 1 as much of i can
but i dont wanna sit here and watch so many seasons
so many hours lol
mentionned this today, scroll up a bit for some cool context about it
Massive respect to Ickx
oh wow
lots of respect between there drivers, it's great to see
well rindt the rightful champion of that season
definitely
the race before he died, he had 45 pts and Ickx was only 4th equal with 19
The 1970's were action packed and brutal
the #1 enemy then was fire
To think that from the 1960's to 1978 there was at least 1 driver fatality per season
was the last driver to die before senna gille?
huge decrease
and allegedly, all 3 were very avoidable
agreed
Senna and Ratzenberger were down to poor engineering and car parts that broke
as for Bianchi, well the red flag exists
or just not drive a race when there's a typhoon
what broke on senna and ratzenberger's car
Senna had a steering column failure (although it seems debatable depending on who you ask)
literally
and Ratzenberger i think it's the front wing that broke, and it went under his car so he lost steering and rammed the wall straight on
Gilles, Paletti, and De Angelis
Yes i've always read different answers
wow that is brutal
dude was still alive and well, but he died suffocated by the fire smoke because the other drivers couldn't overturn his car (Mansell and Prost were there iirc), and there was no safety vehicle on the track nearby
the track was Paul Ricard, not the Nurb
yeah, the frontwing broke and he went off at Villeneuve chicane (iirc)
Before his car landed upside down, I think it flipped multiple times iirc
probably, but still from what i've read, he wasn't injured
that's surprising to not even be injured in a crash like that in those times
This kind of reminds me of Roger Williamson's crash, when David Purley tried to save Williamson from the burning wreck
ye that's the same vibes really
frankly, no clue
found one of my grandfathers old tapes
can someone help me
Haha lol
