when they say that todays drivers are the best in history its a massive load of bullshit. the cars all have computers to keep them on the track and computers driving the car. the 60's 70's 80's were when the speed came from the nut behind the wheel. not from computers RIP all of the greatest drivers to ever of lived !!!!!!!!!!
If we could have cars like this with the safety we have today F1 would be perfect. Back in those days it wasn't the team with the most money that won, it was the team with the craziest idea (that worked!)!
cool video! but you discredit the drivers of the 80s! the cars were very fast and very deadly. My all time favourite is Gilles Villeneuve, he was the bravest among the bravest, the fastest man ever to drive a race car and great down to earth person. Nowdays you only see divas who are to scared to overtake or drive at the limit and give a shit about their fans.
Excuse the language. But at 2:20 where he stops to help the other driver & tries to push the car over. For fucks sake. Fucking hero. What else can you say? Shit. These boys were the best. Lost for words.
i start watching f1 in mid 90s but i wish i was there at the races in 70s watching live coz they realy were the golden years of racing that will never be repeated with all this too much panicking about safety nowadays they killed that magic. they realy were men they use to get pay less they took more risk and they where passionate about wining not just making more money. RIP F1
Different is back then the likelihood drivers getting seriously hurt was far greater, thankfully these days with improve safety both track and the car itself, fatality in the sport is hopefully a thing of the past,
@maxspes schumi won at least 3 titles on cheats.. nowhere near the real champs like fitipaldi or senna who risked their lives every races and played fair
@GKOBE I'd say that's a little unfair, I'm pretty sure that the current cream of the crop would race in whatever you give them, safe or not, the sport as a whole is a victim of the times.
Yes the driver on 1.29 was Piers Courage and the accident was fatal.
We also saw Jochen Rindt that died in the1970 championship (he died in the "curva parabolica" of circuit of Monza) but he won the 1970 f1 championship (postmortem).
This was real racing and the drivers where every cent of their money worth. Now you can let monkeys drive and they are as quick as the overrated formula one babies of today.
The accident at 1:29 is Clay Reggazoni, and Mike Hailwood trying to get him out after pulling his cockpit extinguisher. Reggo was killed in a mini-van accident in Italy 2006 coming home from a car show, that's what I call tragedy......survive the most bloody years in F1, only to die in a stupid road accident. Revson, Donahue, Cevert, Williamson, Rindt, Villneve, Pryce.....these were all excellent drivers, men worthy of our admiration, and their contemporaries as well.
3:29 lol you not put when Gilles go to do race with 3 wheels! nvm. But you not put the storic race of dijon when Gilles and Renè was fighting for 2nd position. R.I.P. to all drivers dead
@richiespeedisback That was Mike Hailwood trying to get Clay Regazzoni out of his car. Hailwood had to abandon the attempt as he was catching fire, but Regazzoni did not perish in the accident. Unfortunately a short time later, Roger Williamson would die in his fiery crash whilst David Purley tried in vain to rescue him.
It was Mike Hailwood trying to get Clay Regazzoni out of his car in Kyalami'73. He was awarded some medal for bravery afterwards. Courage's accident was so horrible, nothing could be done - just a mess of fire and wreckage
It was Clay Regazonni and Mike "The Bike" Hailwood. Hailwood tried to remove Clay, but Mike's hands caught on fire, then with the help of a marshall they both pulled Regazonni from the car (he was unconscious).
Hailwood talks about it in this great video titled Champions Forever
@heuerautavia Also Mike received the George Medal for this act of saving Clay as after the marshal extinguished Mikes suit he ran back and carried on trying to pull Clay out. Top Bloke i'd say and bloody well done to him! RIP Mike
No, it actually was Jacky Ickx, on the Jarama circuit in Spain. Jackie Oliver (his former Le Mans co-driver) crashed into him because of failure of suspension. He was quickly (and alive) out of the car. Jacky Ickx didn't die but led severe burning wounds... 2 months later he was back in his car racing...
@KillerDreck89 the Guy is in the burning car is Jacky Icks i think... Invonted in accident too Jack Brabham and Guy Ligier.... i think Ligier or Chris Amon
I and my brother followed Roger Williamson through Formula Three and was over joyed when he got his chance at formula One, Iwas late home the day Roger died and only learnt about it on the TV. Needless to say we were Heart broken about it and I still am after all these years!! He was a Fine and Talented Young Man.
great great video...very well done and tastefully constructed..if i had one criticism it would be the complete lack of gilles villeneuve.... but we cant have it all our own way.... excellent work!
His helmet was torn off by the initial impact, it's just an odd configuration of the flames combined with the quality of the recording you're seeing, I think.
Yeah I think that's Spa, but by the '70's it was close to the same layout as used today.
I really want to know what circuit is shown at 0:40. The one with the huge hump in it showing the cars coming downhill and into a left hand corner. Amazing shots!
he wasn't rejected, he was in the cockpit all the time. Guy Edwards, Arturo Merzario and Harald Ertl had stopped just after his collision and pulled him out of the burning car.
Niki Lauda is his name, '76 Grand Prix at Nürburgring in Germany. luckily he is still alive but retired from Grand Prix in 1985. he nearly lost his life and remained with a huge scar on his face. one of the greatest F1 drivers of the old school, in my opinion.
Great work for putting this video together :) I'm pleased that the sport has change in terms of safety. However, It is hard for the drivers to overtake on most tracks.
Yes, and when the umpire wanted to set his friend free did not allow it him, saying that it's too dangerous. Purley spoke to the spectators in order for them to help him to excuse itself. They detained the spectators. Purley dragged out the umpire onto the racecourse and drove one for him. the pilot's carbonised residue was taken out after the accident, from the race car. RIP
Drivers of today are extremely brave and if you don't think they take risks then tell that to Henry Surtees and Felipe Massa. F1 was, is and always willl be dangerous. It's the nature of the beast.
The drivers from the 70's campaigned for greater safety so they will be glad that todays drivers face less of a risk.
The people who are saying it was all better back in the 70's are grandad's wishing they could be 16 again, looking at things through rose tinted glasses.
FINALLY!!!!!!!! OH GREAT ONE YOU SAID IT!!!!!!!!!! thank you for stating what i have tried for so long... f1 is still a sport of men, thank you thank you thank you...
my point is that as human beings we have no reason on paper why anybody should be better than another appart from experience... james hunt's words, not mine ;)
drivers can only drive the cars that their eras provided them, humans haven't gotten worse at driving in the last 20 years, they're just as good, no better, no worse..
for sure, senna, prost and stewart etc. were better than massa and button... but that's only an individual variation in talent not representative of the average driver from then to now. so far as i can tell, there was a guy called michael schumacher who is easily in the top 3 of all time, so modern drivers can be as good as ever...
the idea that some morons say that drivers 20-30 years ago were inherently better is bullshit, humans haven't changed in that time, they're just as good as ever...
That huge cunt Ecclestone caved in just like the NHRA and NASCAR. Just a bunch of fucking clones. No originality. Way too many rules. Make them shift with their right hand, no ABS, no trac control, nothing. Take the barriers away too. If you want to be a race car driver, you must accept the risk.
OMFG! your ignorance amazes me! TC, ABS and stability control systems have been banned for the last three seasons... have you been hibernating or something, "duh, what year is it?"
and why would you want to take barriers and run off areas away? so you want to see more fatalities, mmm?
have a look at massa's and surtees's accidents, there are still accepted hazzards in racing, just less of them...
why do you have to have a death wish to be a race car driver?
Traction control, Stability controls, ABS, and so on, have definately been OVERUSED. Bring back turbo's and slicks I say, to hell with rules, lets race dammit!
Wouldn't it be better if we return to F1 cars in 70's style? THAT are cars. Not this bullshit today, refilling gas has been prohibited recently. But 2000hp, that would be amazing, OMG!
there wasn't any refuelling in the 70s, no f1 has ever output anything close to 2000hp - in the 70s it was around 500hp, electronic driver aids are gone - like in the 70s... what more do you want?
What do I want? I just want Bernie to return to mechanical cars. And I want all electronic stuff to vanish. But was refuelling really forbidden in the 70's? How then could the drivers finish well?
By the way, you're right, I'm pessimistic.
But I never said that there was a car that reached 2000 hp, I just said it would be amazing to see such car.
how many times have i said it?!?! electronic driver aids are completely gone!
the cars have identical ECU systems, there are fewer electronics assisting the drivers now than in the late 1980s!
clearly you need to brush up on your history, refuelling only made a brief return 1983 then it was baned during the peak of the turbo era, so finishing the race was no problem...
also back then they didnt have very many safty precautions we have now so the fuel tank could be punctured easily and the car would be up in flames. luckily they kept driving so the racing we know today could exist. RIP all dead.
at 2:20 he got out of his car and ran across the track to help his friend and teammate out of the fire. he didnt survive but you wouldnt see that in racing today. but i think the guy trying t help died like a month or so after.
Not a temmate, they were rivals but great friends off the track. The one who tried to help was him, and seeing his own friend been burned alive and screaming for help, just horrible. The guy who helped I think died from a plane crash same year.
....these MEN on the video are fuckin heroes, just to fit they balls into the cockpit it's a start to sayin that. When men were men, it's a perfect title.
video's good, the title is unfair... if these drivers knew what driving a modern car was like, they wouldn't have raced... these "men" only drove these things because it was the best that they knew, if it was the same today, the drivers would still race. when race a kart, i know there are no seat belts, open wheels, no run off, topping out at 103mph, going off or touching wheels runs the risk of rolling while completely exposed but i still do it, 'cause i love it, racing today is still racing...
Today is not racing (in F1) it's just number versus numbers and the drivers are not the main factor to make a car to win,they just take the car from the start line to finish line. Look at jeson button, crapy results from all his life, just give him a LITTLE better car and he's winning every race. It's not like 20 years ago when prost and senna were on the top with a car making 60hp less than any other. That was racing.
oh c'mon nowadays you're lucky if you get 2 seconds difference from first to last place in qualifying it's so competitive. in the 80s you could predict a 1-2 finish before the race and the only variable that jumbled up the results was mechanical failures. the thing about button is unfair, look at fittipaldi or piquet when they moved to a shit team, no if not only lucky wins and button was in uncompetitive cars during schumacher's dominance, what kind of results did you expect???
Excellent video brother....I appriciate your work.This video is just awsome.

Great work for putting this video together :) I'm pleased that the sport has change in terms of safety. However, It is hard for the drivers to overtake on most tracks.

Yes, and when the umpire wanted to set his friend free did not allow it him, saying that it's too dangerous. Purley spoke to the spectators in order for them to help him to excuse itself. They detained the spectators. Purley dragged out the umpire onto the racecourse and drove one for him. the pilot's carbonised residue was taken out after the accident, from the race car. RIP

the driver who is burning 2:30 is Roger Williamson who sadly died at the scene. The driver running to save him is Purley

Drivers of today are extremely brave and if you don't think they take risks then tell that to Henry Surtees and Felipe Massa. F1 was, is and always willl be dangerous. It's the nature of the beast.
The drivers from the 70's campaigned for greater safety so they will be glad that todays drivers face less of a risk.
The people who are saying it was all better back in the 70's are grandad's wishing they could be 16 again, looking at things through rose tinted glasses.

FINALLY!!!!!!!! OH GREAT ONE YOU SAID IT!!!!!!!!!! thank you for stating what i have tried for so long... f1 is still a sport of men, thank you thank you thank you...
my point is that as human beings we have no reason on paper why anybody should be better than another appart from experience... james hunt's words, not mine ;)
drivers can only drive the cars that their eras provided them, humans haven't gotten worse at driving in the last 20 years, they're just as good, no better, no worse..
FormulaOneFan4Eva 2 years ago 2
for sure, senna, prost and stewart etc. were better than massa and button... but that's only an individual variation in talent not representative of the average driver from then to now. so far as i can tell, there was a guy called michael schumacher who is easily in the top 3 of all time, so modern drivers can be as good as ever...
the idea that some morons say that drivers 20-30 years ago were inherently better is bullshit, humans haven't changed in that time, they're just as good as ever...

rrhynes 2 years ago
That huge cunt Ecclestone caved in just like the NHRA and NASCAR. Just a bunch of fucking clones. No originality. Way too many rules. Make them shift with their right hand, no ABS, no trac control, nothing. Take the barriers away too. If you want to be a race car driver, you must accept the risk.
rrhynes 2 years ago
Well said!
AussieDefenceForce 2 years ago
OMFG! your ignorance amazes me! TC, ABS and stability control systems have been banned for the last three seasons... have you been hibernating or something, "duh, what year is it?"
and why would you want to take barriers and run off areas away? so you want to see more fatalities, mmm?
have a look at massa's and surtees's accidents, there are still accepted hazzards in racing, just less of them...
why do you have to have a death wish to be a race car driver?
FormulaOneFan4Eva 2 years ago
Traction control, Stability controls, ABS, and so on, have definately been OVERUSED. Bring back turbo's and slicks I say, to hell with rules, lets race dammit!
GREAT VIDEO
1doc1savage1 2 years ago
are you stupid or something?
slicks are back and all the electronic driver aids have been banned...
if we had turbochargers today, the cars would be throwing out about 2000hp for god's sake! be realistic...
for some people - like you - no matter how they try to improve the sport it just isn't good enough is it?
in 20 years time, you'll be saying how much you missed the 2000s, all it is is nostalgia at it's worst...
FormulaOneFan4Eva 2 years ago
Wouldn't it be better if we return to F1 cars in 70's style? THAT are cars. Not this bullshit today, refilling gas has been prohibited recently. But 2000hp, that would be amazing, OMG!
KillerDreck89 1 year ago
see you're just being pessimistic...
there wasn't any refuelling in the 70s, no f1 has ever output anything close to 2000hp - in the 70s it was around 500hp, electronic driver aids are gone - like in the 70s... what more do you want?
FormulaOneFan4Eva 1 year ago
What do I want? I just want Bernie to return to mechanical cars. And I want all electronic stuff to vanish. But was refuelling really forbidden in the 70's? How then could the drivers finish well?
By the way, you're right, I'm pessimistic.
But I never said that there was a car that reached 2000 hp, I just said it would be amazing to see such car.
KillerDreck89 1 year ago
how many times have i said it?!?! electronic driver aids are completely gone!
the cars have identical ECU systems, there are fewer electronics assisting the drivers now than in the late 1980s!
clearly you need to brush up on your history, refuelling only made a brief return 1983 then it was baned during the peak of the turbo era, so finishing the race was no problem...

uncabronusername 2 years ago
also back then they didnt have very many safty precautions we have now so the fuel tank could be punctured easily and the car would be up in flames. luckily they kept driving so the racing we know today could exist. RIP all dead.

at 2:20 he got out of his car and ran across the track to help his friend and teammate out of the fire. he didnt survive but you wouldnt see that in racing today. but i think the guy trying t help died like a month or so after.
hazzardwantcookies 2 years ago
Not a temmate, they were rivals but great friends off the track. The one who tried to help was him, and seeing his own friend been burned alive and screaming for help, just horrible. The guy who helped I think died from a plane crash same year.

....these MEN on the video are fuckin heroes, just to fit they balls into the cockpit it's a start to sayin that. When men were men, it's a perfect title.
BluesMan9teen69 2 years ago
video's good, the title is unfair... if these drivers knew what driving a modern car was like, they wouldn't have raced... these "men" only drove these things because it was the best that they knew, if it was the same today, the drivers would still race. when race a kart, i know there are no seat belts, open wheels, no run off, topping out at 103mph, going off or touching wheels runs the risk of rolling while completely exposed but i still do it, 'cause i love it, racing today is still racing...
wolfmother4eva 2 years ago
Today is not racing (in F1) it's just number versus numbers and the drivers are not the main factor to make a car to win,they just take the car from the start line to finish line. Look at jeson button, crapy results from all his life, just give him a LITTLE better car and he's winning every race. It's not like 20 years ago when prost and senna were on the top with a car making 60hp less than any other. That was racing.
BluesMan9teen69 2 years ago
oh c'mon nowadays you're lucky if you get 2 seconds difference from first to last place in qualifying it's so competitive. in the 80s you could predict a 1-2 finish before the race and the only variable that jumbled up the results was mechanical failures. the thing about button is unfair, look at fittipaldi or piquet when they moved to a shit team, no if not only lucky wins and button was in uncompetitive cars during schumacher's dominance, what kind of results did you expect???
