1986 Williams Honda V-6 Turbo produced over 1000 horepower in quali trim. Awesome stuff back then. F1 has lost its balls with talks of going to 4 cylinder turbo's in 2013. Who knows what kind of power those will produce? 600-650? Weak.
A lot of people forget that N Mansell was one of the the most exciting F1 drivers other than A Senna. I think, given equal cars there would not be much between them.
why do they miss out the full nose cone change? i really wanted to see the chassis of an 80's f1 car or if prosts legs weree actually inside the nose cone.
You call me a "typical frustrated english" yet you're the one on here insulting other nationalities. Obviously you're still angry that your golden boy got beaten by a guy from Birmingham. LOL
There are more english world champions (13), F1 drivers from Brasil (8). Oh and I'm not a english man;) owned. I cannot believe that you are 38. You sound like a 13 years old schoolboy.
This is awesome, thanks so much! The first GP I ever watched was Monaco 86, the race before this one. I still have it on tape and I'll put it up one day, once I've learned how the technology works!
It reminds me of how frustrating the coverage used to be though...so many missed overtaking moves!!
Fat slicks. Turbos. McLaren, Williams and Brabham dominating. Lotus still in the JPS colour scheme. Nelson Piquet. Alain Prost. A shining young star named Ayrton Senna. An emerging force named Nigel Mansell. Old heads like Lauda making a comeback. Increasing amounts of teams. Great circuits that required balls. Forumla 1 in the 80's was great!

I have stood exactly here, and also walked the circuit back in 2009. It was awesome.

Others have been Knighted for as much or less.

Theissen was involved in Brabham BMW in 86, so it's possible.

It's not Theissen, it's John Gentry Elio's Chief Race Engineer.

No, it's Gordon Murray.
w0033944 2 years ago 2
Gordon Murray is stood on the right hand side - John Gentry is stood behind the rear wing with the clipboard.
John Gentry was new to Brabham after having joined from Renault in 1985, where he was Derek Warwicks Race Engineer.
It was an irony that he was reunited with Derek again when he was announced as Elio's replacement for the Canadian GP onwards.

Sorry, I was assuming that the poster mistook Murray for Dr Theissen due to his moustache.

That isn't Theissen, as he wasn't involved in Formula 1 until April 1999.
