2001 German Grand Prix Montoya pole

[spieler440]

Imola, and Hockenheimring were 2 great circuits destroyed because of the threats that the FIA made.

[daniel987878]

His name is Pablo. Juan Pablo.

[raikkonen8]

I thought he wasn't gonna take it looking at the split times.

[oskrvillar]

miren la forma que tiene que mover el volante, a simple vista el auto no era para nada estable

[jojangu]

this track was fantastic!!! very very fast!!

[Michaelingolfhansen]

Note this half-auto gearbox!

Before the chicanes he preselects the gear he will use with his left hand...when he hit the brakes the gearbox drops down to the preselected gear whith out the risk of gearing down to fast/slow or selecting the wrong gear!

Thankfully they are banned now!

[TheRailworldD443]

fuck tilke and ecclestone!!

[Dalton1758]

After the death of Senna, the greatest loss of f-1 was the disappearance of this track.

[TifosiAlonso]

Fantastic driver, I think one of the few real races recently. 

[oskrvillar]

aun era novato, y todo lo que hacia

[hofbraeu1516]

I HOPE THEY NEVER TRY TO CHOP SPA FRANCORCHAMPS IN HALF LIKE THEY DID HERE!!!!!

[shredderkrang]

@toloofa

I hear you brother. These old, fast classics should never have been scrapped or altered. I realise the safety parameters the drivers need, but they loved old Hockenheim & Monza when the cars were amazingly quick (late 90's through to early part of the 2000's) Modern F1 isn't as quick as we all know it could be without the extra cost cutting for teams & limitations on testing & the gradually smaller engines.. For me, this kills a little bit of the excitement.

[MrStig691]

@shredderkrang The cars are no slower. Just look at this and last years Quali times.

[TifosiAlonso]

Great onboard. Both track, driver and car are fantastic!

[taloofa]

i hate Tilke ...

[georgecross85]

10 years since the arrival of one of the best drivers that the f1 could have!

[ragaglia]

Does anybody know if the curve at 0.55 is the Oestkurve? They added a chicane there after Patrick Depailler fatal crash in 1980.

[Ferariiman]

@ragaglia yes, that turn was the oestkurve

[schroeder1112]

@Ferariiman

oh, yes it WAS the Ostkurve, now it´s grass...-.- (google for Hockenheim Ostkurve)

[Ferariiman]

@schroeder1112 I've seen it my friend, there's also a photo on wikipedia. How stupid and hypocrites was herman tilke? he had to cut thousands of beautiful trees to make the "new" track and he left the old part (which is much smaller) to come up against this loss. Double failure, he destroyed the old track and made an ugly abomination and he also destroyed a big part of this beautiful forest..

[fearview]

i hate Tilke

[79pudgeman]

The Williams BMW car of 2001 was a great F1 car! That BMW engine was the most powerful and was the most super reliable engine of that time! Quiet possibly the greatest engine ever made in F1! Just ashame the Williams chassis was not aerodynamically as strong as the other teams cars during that season! Montoya would have been champion if it was! I have no doubt about that! But my god that V10 BMW engine sounds sweet! Love it!

[MetaKnightsKirby]

@79pudgeman He got beaten by Ralf that year. So, no.

[bourlivak88]

@79pudgeman most reliable? are u kidding? look how many failures they had..lol

[MegaMrDamo]

@79pudgeman Stop making stuff up

[airvallejo]

@79pudgeman totally misinformed mate!! JPM's and Ralph's engines had SERIOUS reliability issues. the only reliable engine in that season was the Ferrari engine.

[BlaugranaFAN]

@airvallejo You're right, Williams should fight to the last corner in both championships...

[vayancetodoalamierda]

miss all that :/

[sebas1834]

michael schumacher dont like this jajajajaja

[SkataKPonos]

Nothing will ever bit the old Hockenheim with the magnificent Stadium complex where the cars were always bouncing because of the total absence of downforce.... those were the days.... :'(

[Bigman46]

i hope your happy tilke, you butchered this classic piece of race track, a track that is 100 times better that anything you could possibly create, abu dhabi pppfffft what a joke.

[samothsamothsamoth]

it´s a shame the new Hockenheim. The old was a unique, but the way better track is at everytime the Nordschleife. Demandingst course of the world all time.

[Saimong0823]

Montoya is the best! Everyone knows!

[Ferrari123planb]

@Saimong0823 he was till he wanted to be a hillbilly in nascar

[GTRF1V8]

even if this circuit needed a redesign, and i'm not sure it did, at least capture some of the character of what made the old one great. this place had the insane speed going for it, and it's now just like any other circuit. not particularly fast, and no especially unique things.

[iagoil]

HOCKENHEIM IS SHIT NOWADAYS

[WatanukiF1]

What a real shit did Tilke, he killed this track by God's sake! :(

[bsharo]

WTF did they change this circuit to the crud it is now I'll never understand.This was a true Formula One track.

[RRliveTV]

Fighting with the sterring wheel at 0:14 amazing

[RRliveTV]

Fighiting with the sterring wheel at 0:16

[evilmurillo]

Tilke fucked this Track BIG TIME !!!!!!!

[geonerd]

@evilmurillo Tilke fucks them all...

(Sepang and Turkey aren't bad, but I everything else he's created or modified has been utterly wrecked.)

[thomas1998ist]

I miss seeing montoya, michael schumacher, Barrichello, David Coulthard's victory in the 2002 Fighting wonderful time

[RoLLWithITOasis1]

Was the old, proper Hockenheim a faster track than Monza or not? I'm assuming it was, but there are more slower corners here.

[rudfil]

@RoLLWithITOasis1 , No, Monza was always and still is the fastest F1 track.

[RoLLWithITOasis1]

@rudfil Ah, ok. Cheers =)

[khanst3r]

F*** Tilke!

[stevenmcg69]

they should bring the old track back

[RoLLWithITOasis1]

@stevenmcg69 Sadly, they've planted trees in the way so nature can "reclaim" it - an excuse not to re-do it, I guess.

[bosshunterman]

@stevenmcg69

Red Bull would be glad ;)

[caquezeno]

I`m watching the video and I`m crying, the old hockenheim was magic

[f1wido]

the old hockenheim-ring... nothing gold can stay

[X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

I came to this video from F1 2010 onboard starts.

What a sound from V10-engines compared to V8-engines !!!

[MrSchiessbude]

I get scared when i see this speed .. damn good old times :D

[ToivonenDeltaS4]

old hockenheim was great! place had character, was different. now its just like all the rest.....

[TOXICTRACE]

It seems as he was teasing RS.

[lealowo]

Colombian Export

[MusicVideoJudge1]

At the second corner the engine was begging for mercy

[ferrari1345]

when track were tracks

[silphyd]

The BMW engine was really very good. You can see that in 2001, Williams won the races in more faster circuits, with Ralf at Montreal and Hockenheim and Montoya at Monza.

[212809]

The old Hockenheim is a lot better than Monza IMO. The "mystic forest" section is awesome.

[youngdeezy1990]

why the fuck did they get rid of this race track? this race track was amazing.

[teamphat]

@youngdeezy1990 The Track organizers thought it would be better for the Fans to have a short circuit so that spectators would see the cars more often passing by. It was a very bad decision, as it destroyed a very unique track and most fans didn't like the change at all. The Hockenheim Ring got into huge financial troubles because of that needless redesign of the track.

[BladedBacklash]

@teamphat The layout was mainly changed due to safety reason.

[Ferariiman]

@BladedBacklash No safety issues there, just today's pilots are too gay to race in circuits like hockenheim, nordschleife and monza. Just remember this year's Korean GP :)

[BladedBacklash]

@Ferariiman Safety was part of the reason, due to the long blasts into the forests. Not saying it should have been changed, liked the long straights.

[master82565]

@BladedBacklash you are wright , just you see gp korean rain and please stop the race haha, but gp germany 1968 no safety but race is not cancelled, today drivers sucks and tracks and cars. why destroyed everthing good in f1? safety is not reason to destroyed this track i think my frend that bernie scare terorist around 2001 after 11 september, next year 2002 we see new hockenheim, but spectators saw race in woods , where jim clark killed in which turn'?

[antoniii96]

me gustaba mas el antiguo trazado , el nuevo hockenheim apenas hay largas rectas

[antoniii96]

me gustaba mas el antiguo trazado , el nuevo hockenheim apenas hay rectas como habia en el antiguo

[Blundell83]

Toutes les chicanes en S portent le nom de Senna.. Ca en devient ridicule..

[muulka]

That track is stupid.... Huge straights need no skill. And what happens if two drivers collide red bull-style on one of them? There's no run-off.... New Hockenheim is much better- It takes some decent skill, and with the engine freeze, the same team would win year after year.... Ask Martin Brundle too =P

And about Tilke, the drivers all seem to like his tracks. Why don't ppl like them? Valencia is amazing, as well as Istanbul Park and all the others. I don't care what you say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[koko56]

@muulka Oh wow, another self proclaimed expert.

[muulka]

@koko56 Read the last sentence again, very slowly to yourself.

[koko56]

@muulka what?

[muulka]

@koko56 lol....

[koko56]

@muulka Seriously, I don't understand what you mean?

[muulka]

@koko56 again, lol

[koko56]

@muulka Oh man, you must be so clever... please teach your ways?

[muulka]

@koko56 No, they are not for mere mortals =P

[koko56]

@muulka Very narrow minded of you, one as obviously amazing as you should pull out all stops in order to benefit the people around them.

I'm disappoint. :/

[muulka]

@koko56 I'm sorry for your dissapointment.

[scarsurfing]

Nice lap!

[adyolive]

Hockenheim, Monza, Spa and Suzuka are my favourites circuits

[kakha1974]

Absolutely crazy, amazing, brilliant lap. Good job JPM!

[thestonecoldandy]

it's a pity youtube couldn't offer different languages to listen to a video in a different language

[Potoodle]

Yeah that BMW Engine was a BEAST. Dominated Hockenheim.

[18PacWest]

The BMW V10 was an animal and Ralf Schumacher won the German GP 2001.

[f1fan84]

@Potoodle 1 race?? pppfff ....

[petrolhead]

Hockenheim before Tilke was sooooo much better. BMW made an amazing engine that year too.

[Hadidi89]

@petrolhead i think all of the f1 circuits before tilke were great!!!

[f1fan84]

@petrolhead thats a lie
