yea apparently he was faster without the traction assists

[short glade]

couldnt he turn it off

or is that not how it works

[steel lance]

you could i think

[round swift]

Basically give him the seat in 1990 (instead of Berger) or 1994

[round swift]

You could've done so, but even if he was way faster than himself with them off, he would be slower than everyone else because they're just OP

Gunnar Nilsson took his sole #F1 victory On This Day in 1977 at Zolder. In a windy, wet-to-mostly-dry race, the popular Swede beat Niki Lauda (who argued with a difficult-to-lap David Purley post-race) and Ronnie Peterson to secure the win. 🇸🇪🏆

Thats Adrian Neweys first F1 car that he designed isnt it

[round swift]

For F1, yes

[rough hare]

Ah, the good old fight between Newey and Brawn

[round swift]

He worked with Brawn on the 1986 Haas

[steel lance]

Indy Car wasnt it

[round swift]

That is odd, Newey was involved with March in IndyCar by the mid-80's

I'm surprised he was allowed to co-operate with Lola in F1

[round swift]

hmmm

@round swift

page before says he's talking about Teddy Mayer

who reached out to him

Oh wow

That's cool

[round swift]

ye that's quite neat

Robin Herd being the technical director at March (and the h of the name), he knew that a british dude would want to work in F1

[oblique dock]

Don't tell me this was the 1981 Belgian GP when Siegfried Stohr hit Patrese's mechanic....

That was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw that photo

[icy veldt]

yeah

thats the one

[oblique dock]

No wonder why it seems so familiar.

[icy veldt]

i shared this picture with a couple frnds and was like, look at frank and then...

[oblique dock]

man... I really felt Stohr's pain when he reacted to the scene of the accident

[icy veldt]

i have started watching the vids from f1 tv from 1981. f, i would have coped with it better if i knew about it

but hey, its f1. i rather not spoil it

[round swift]

then they noticed he's standing on his feet?

[icy veldt]

no, then patrese stalled, his mechanic jumped on the circuit, went to the back of the car. then immediately the race started and the other arrows of Stohr hit the mechanic

[icy veldt]

but hey pretty good to see Frank like that

[rough hare]

Jos Verstappen in the Benetton

[icy veldt]

there is this story about brundle. knocked his head on the tarmac. ran to the garage for the T car, got in it, asked what circuit he is at so he knew where to turn, right or left in the pitlane

lol ofc they didnt let him race after that

[potent tendon]

Yes, it was Newey. About the details, I'm currently reading his book and in the Indycar chapters (around Chapter 13-17) and I'm in the 18th one, there are some details there that just randomly stick to my mind.

[round swift]

ah ok, it's really a great book, obviously gets better by the time he joins Leyton House

(Which is... March basically)

Not much love for this cah

It's my favourite Marlboro Macca

I'm more of a /6 guy

[oblique dock]

Hell yea! (even though Senna and Berger found the RA121E to be underpowered and heavy)

[round swift]

Ye honda shoulve stuck with the v10

[oblique dock]

At least the RA121E got that gradual increase in power throughout the 1991 season, as well as the reliability.

MP4/6 still a good car tho

[round swift]

It was reliable enough to win the title

[oblique dock]

The FW14 had more power (and a semi-automatic transmission, which Senna wanted)

[round swift]

That was unreliable for a good third of the campaign

https://s36.wheelsage.org/picture/h/honda/mclaren/mp4_7/mclaren_honda_mp4_7_6.jpeg

The MP4/7 came out with a semi-auto box, Fly-By wire throttle actuators, and VVT

Like Honda busted it out for 1992

And uh... VTL

Sadly, McLaren didn't have the active suspension that year..

[oblique dock]

not to mention only 5 total wins for their 1992 campaign

Jean-Pierre : Here we can see a slow engine thay comes from WEC

Ron: hmmm, ye i want that

[oblique dock]

I'm sure Mclaren would have performed better if they used Ford engines for another year, although I'm not sure how that would work out.

[round swift]

I... Hmm

We all know they tested the Lambos

Yup

[oblique dock]

The Lambo V12 had more power than the Ford V8... but lacked the reliability

[round swift]

And people wanted the Lambos, but I wonde3r if Ron saw the downfall and sale of Lambo at that time

Wdym

well Lamborghini was sold by Chrysler in 1994 iirc to the Malaysian business group that was scam central

[oblique dock]

Seriously?

I'm actually intrigued now.

[round swift]

Yeah, so one thing you notice over the course of the Lamborghini Engine's runtime from 1989-1993 is the Chrysler logo getting bigger and bigger

Oh ye, but with Chrysler Lamborghini was profitable for the first time ever. Didn't know they sold in 94, thought it was later

It was in the period of 94-96

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f0/Erik_Comas_-_Larrousse_LH93_during_practice_for_the_1993_British_Grand_Prix_(33302817820).jpg

I'm just wondering if, having McLaren taken them on, either Lambo never be sold, Lambo got sold to McLaren, or the same would've happened, but Chrysler just badged it fully themselves

Ye, maybe McLaren would have gotten them and have not started from a clean sheet. Although by that time... The F1 road car was probably well underway

Bazarini engine instead of the BMW?

The McLaren F1 started production in 1993

That wasn't really what I meant

Ye sorry :3 what did you mean then?

Well like just from after the McLaren F1, McLaren and Lamborghini became like road divisions together

Because like... McLaren went to Mercedes with a car production with BMW's

So I'm sure that wouldn't be like, heresy

Clearly not

But basically, the reason why VWG have Lamborghini is because Chrysler sold it to a bunch of Malaysian brosephs who sold it off again after their back was against the wall coz it turns out they didn't actually have money

Ye I've seen a video about the story of the brand, but forgot when the malaysian thing happened

And Lambo used the same block until VW bought them right?

Lambo had derived all their road engines off of the original, Formula intended design, yes

Because that V12 was designed to rev to 11,000 like off the bat

Formula intended design? Ah yes the bazarini (think it's spelled this way) block was meant to go on a Ferrari

The original V12, afaik, was intended to be used for competition anyway, and so was built for 400hp and 11,000rpm

In like what? 1964?

I love these

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5a/b1/13/5ab11348974b1ebccc4fd5e8ccdfd148.jpg

Oh yeah, the MP4/5🅱️ did like the same thing

[round swift]

When the 3,464-cubic-centimetre (211.4 cu in) prototype was tested in 1963, it was able to produce 370 brake horsepower (276 kW; 375 PS) at 9,000 (rpm), or almost 107 brake horsepower (80 kW; 108 PS) per litre. Bizzarrini insisted the engine was mechanically capable of reaching 400 brake horsepower (298 kW; 406 PS) at 11,000 rpm with an uprated fuel system, but the design was judged adequate, and when fitted with production carburettors, all the auxiliary systems, and detuned for road use, the engine still made 280 brake horsepower (209 kW; 284 PS).

This one

Not bad at all for 1963

The F1 V12, the LE3512, was a completely different design

80°V too, interestingly enough

Ok was about to ask

So that'd be like an 80-40 interval

Would have been amazing if they could just take the engine of the road cars and make it f1 relevant, but unlikely come the 90s

They could the other way around doe

True. Isn't it Foghieri who made the 3512? I remember him being involved in the lambo f1 project somewhat

[oblique dock]

I much prefer the Lotus one doe, coz the McLaren one decided to group the inner 3 together

[round swift]

Fun fact: This was for Benetton in 1992/3 but sike

didn't know Ford prepared a V12, why did they drop it?

It just idk... It was one of those things like the MP4-18, where everyone was like yes come on but was too much I guess for the time

Or evaluated as not worth it to be much better overall than the V8

So other than the 75°V12 VB, we had the 75°V8 Zetec-R

[heavy otter]

Isn't it just the cosworth engine ?

oh

[round swift]

See: Stewart GP

Or jaguar, or red bull

[oblique dock]

Or Minardi

[short glade]

like in the early 90s why they no make v10

[oblique dock]

Maybe Ford didn't have the money and resources available to create a V10 at the time

[round swift]

Ford-Cosworth were still using V8's everywhere else and also the HB series didn't exactly suck

The regs still allowed for the benefits that V8's provide over V10's with the 3.5L units

hey i have a question for yall: what was the best driver of the 70s, bc from the start of the decade there was stewart and fittipaldi, then niki lauda and james hunt. there were also rindnt saldly passed away the year he won, andretti was strong in 1978 and also Scheckter in 1979 plus other ones i didnt mention

[polar monolith]

I'd assume Lauda or stewert

Although it wasn't peak, but Graham Hill could also be in contention depending on how you mean best

[round swift]

hmm, i'm gonna go with Lauda

[polar monolith]

Dang Lauda won WDC in two different decades, some longevity

[fathom oxide]

So did Senna and Schumacher.

[icy veldt]

lauda had a really really good career. he could have won 76, coz he was the better driver, and tbh that brabham bt46B year

78 or 79.

78 i think. it was the year andretti and lotus won

or 79? one of those

[polar monolith]

Also two power houses, but I didn't think there was 9 years between Laudas first and last WDC

[fathom oxide]

Same with Prost, come to think of it, minus one year.

I want to ask, is jochen rindt died before the 1970 season ended?

[final shore]

yep

[zinc sleet]

Looks like a CART car.

[zinc sleet]

What year and driver is is this?

[zinc sleet]

Yeah, it probably is. Look at the helmet.

[silent escarp]

That's what I thought

Looks like a swedish flag

[zinc sleet]

I did some research. No that's not Ronnie. His was full blue with yello accents.

[round swift]

Well this was when F1 and IndyCar still shared alot, and Indy was almost directly following F1's developments so it makes sense

[silent escarp]

Oh ok

[round swift]

It wasn't until 1983 when ground effects were banned in F1 that I feel Indy and F1 design really started to part

[untold tartan]

sadlly, yes he was an uncrowned champion

[potent crypt]

sad

[north sand]

Congrats @potent crypt, you're now on lap 5

[silent escarp]

He was the first and hopefully only posthumous world champion

[zinc sleet]

Ronnie's helmet looked like this.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EnY45AnXIAEk0U5.jpg

[silent escarp]

Yeah blue with a yellow visor

So I wonder who was in that lotus

[round swift]

Which Lotus?

[balmy canopy]

Reine Wisell?

That dude was probably one of the drivers who came in and out of Lotus.

Jim Clark

[zinc sleet]

Thanks! Had no idea Reutemann drove for Ferrari.

[sleek mulch]

He did, in '77 and '78 after Regazzoni went off to Ensign. He actually outperformed Niki Lauda in the initial stages of the '77 season, which was impressive.

[round swift]

and probably due to Maranello politics

[oblique dock]

Wow. March had Newey while Chaparral had Barnard.

[round swift]

erm they weren't together at the same time

Barnard was very much full time involved in F1 by the time Newey joined March in 1984

[oblique dock]

Still, a very cool fact about Barnard.

[round swift]

They just removed skirts and still had nutty tunnels

And also the Gurney Eagles had the BLAT Skirts

[round swift]

The driver had been thrown out

One of the biggest issues was that cars had never been designed to have rolling structures to protect the head, nor anything to crumple which meant any load would shock straight to the driver instead

That 1992 vibe huh?

Also drivers feared burning alive more than being thrown out in the 50s and probs early 60s

[oblique dock]

Yeah, Reutemann is one of the more overlooked drivers

[tough junco]

❤️ 🇦🇷 desde 🇺🇸

QEPD

The man who ignited my passion for classic F1

(Also I wish I'd known all along this channel existed [and I'm kinda insulted by the channel description because I was born 2001])

[tough junco]

Totally agree. He's so unfairly overlooked in favor of Villeneuve and Peterson (maybe it's because they both had fatal accidents?)

How he had everything thrown in his face causing him to lose the title in '81 is what made me back the guy

Lost it by just one point despite a contract that was supposed to make him let Jones win like in 80, Brabham being allowed to loophole their way into recreating the illegal ground effect, whichever race that was where Jones got new parts and Lole didn't, and overall the team not supporting him enough

From what I've seen the clause that was obeyed through 80 and the first round of 81 was that Lole had to let Jones by if he couldn't maintain a lead of 7 seconds. Which is absolute BS and would never be allowed today

I could go on and on

[oblique dock]

Wow. Now I see why some would consider Reutemann the real champion of 1981

Props to Lole for holding up.

I guess he quit F1 in early 1982 because of all that.

[tough junco]

That, and another factor was the Falklands war

His relationship with the team was bad enough, then that war broke out and there was bound to be crap since we had an Argentine driver with a British team

So it was pretty inevitable

Though I do think he could've beaten Rosberg and the rest that year had he somehow lasted.

[oblique dock]

oh.... right...

That happened.
