Hakkinen 2000 F1 Europe Qualifying

[Th3K0p4]

@babelxxx; pls change the title of this video.... in 2000 the Europe GP took place at the Nürburgring, this is Hakkinens Qualifing for the Germany GP

[cud0s]

it sounds like alien superthech spaceship

[MsPARTENOPEO89]

WANDERFOL OLD HOCKENEIM

[cfcnlr]

f1 is terrible to what it was years ago, all these new tracks are ruining the sport, u look at one of the best and most entertaining races in the last number of years and it was in canade, a cracking circuit, if u break a second too late ur into the wall

[QOTSAPT]

I love how cars were hard to drive and drivers still wouldnt care, low downforce and braking on wet tarmac without inters is something we dont see nowadays

[ThEtErRoRiZeR1134]

dat engine note

[brush31]

Could you imagine Kers and DRS on this track?! HELL YEA!!!

[MattMK45]

I love the engine echoing off the grandstands and at full revs down the straights. Damn I miss this old layout!

[loodaufo]

hokkinhime not europe

[MrBond8821]

I totally lost interest in F1 when they went to V8s.... cut the Heart Right out of things. =(

[wodzekleaf]

what!!!!!! that was out of space control 1:47

[TheNickmoura]

why they kill all these fantastic tracks?

[PinoThePizzaman77]

Hockenheim 2000.And this track was better than the track nowadays.

[CrankAC]

Wow 345 KPH!!! at 0:25 I think now they would have speeds like 380 Kph if they would have V10´s -.-

[MegaMrDamo]

This is the German Grand Prix. The European GP was hosted at the Nurburgring that year. This is Hockenheim

[HERMANN354]

This is 2000 in Hockenheim^^

[JoaoSuperCarros]

what track was this?

[jonathan102]

this old layout is so much better.

[bytiful]

His correction @1:47 is quicker than I can blink my eyes o_O

[TheOriginalGayman]

@bytiful I would have shat my pants....

[Ladju24]

A little mistake : It's German GP ;) .

[bigbodlover]

At old hockenheim and monza, v10 engines reach 360kmh !

Current v8's hardly reach 330kmh with smaller engines and shorter straights.

I used to get "excited" hearing an formula1 car, not anymore.

[swistral1]

@bigbodlover Very true.

[MrAlessioalessio]

it's german grand prix, not european grand prix.

[mattsvrguy]

If this was nowadays, it would be really nice to see the cars revving it on the straights, oh wait, they have V8s' now!!

[swistral1]

@mattsvrguy LOL! So true.

[mattsvrguy]

@swistral1 yeh lol

[Matth360]

the only good and old tracks that still on F1 in my opinion is Monza,Spa Francorchamps and Interlagos(because i'm brazilian).

the rest tracks(except Instanbul) are only nice,and other tracks are crap.

[cloughers]

@Matth360 not to forget the legendary Monaco and suzuka that's still a decent circuit. oh yeah plus Montreal, that usually produces exiting races.

[swistral1]

@Matth360 Istanbul is far and away the best of the newer circuits. All of the others look nice..... but the races themselves are dry. Just follow the leader and wait for the pit stops.

[wahaya2]

@swistral1 Hmm I don't know...mostly you're right but China's given us some good racing, particularly last year (2010)

[McLarenMercedes]

@Matth360

What about Suzuka?

Most drivers love that circuit.

Two old track they loved to race on was Zandvoort (Netherlands) and the old Österreichring (Austria) which sadly got modified beyond recognition to become the A1-ring.

[fedesapo83]

this is German Gran Prix at Hockenheim!!

[equinoxranch]

What Ecclestone has done to his franchise is beyond criminal. F1 has lost so much, it's become a feaking circus, the courses that are worthy have been scrapped, it's now just a facade, a big money Potemkin Village............. So "Vegas".

[LennardGr]

I like the old hockenheim ring much more than now! Why don't they go back?!?

[TheLukas12364]

the new track is boring,to much exits,no high speed,in fact the old circuit was better.!!!

[eduardothe100]

its a GP OF GERMANY, NO EUROPA, EUROPA WAS NURBURGRING

[afiqhanifah]

@eduardothe100

nurburgring nordscheleifi...[sorry wrong spelling]

[JosMika2000]

@afiqhanifah

^^ nürburgring nordschleife

[heypachuco1991]

Those long straights made Hockenheim unique!

I still hate the fact that they changed it.

[T1carus]

shame hockenhiem was castrated

[Ferrariman601]

How about that Finnish car control!

[craigsimons1993]

german gp not europe

[GTRF1V8]

sweet sounds from a sweet engine in a sweet car. Mika's a great driver too. and man, that thing was SIDEWAYS through the stadium section towards the end!

[lendrew1]

1:47-Great control!!

[Wizmar]

Lucky for Mika there were no fast corners in the first 3/4 of the lap, so he could use slicks in the wet.

[Mmmm9463]

This isn´t the european GP. It was the GERMAN GP !!! ;-)

[kweli25]

WHATA SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[intrepidlr44]

big balls slicks on wet track around old Hockenheim

[Gaboriana]

half wet but still fast. dry tyres i think!!

[reffee]

345 kph in the wet? FUCK ME SIDEWAYS

[martinenq]

Not European GP

It's German GP

European GP was in Nurburgring in 2000.

[19alonso91]

I miss the old Hockenheimring and the beautiful sound of this Mercedes V10. :(

[kein96]

I like that echo sound :D

[taengbulok666]

that v10 sounds scary.

[VWatch07]

Scary, but badass!

[astra606]

That was the german gp -.-

[Rivelution]

Current F1 needs more high speed circuits like old hockenheim, and Monza. I'm tired of seeing F1 going to Asian tracks with nobody in the grandstands.

[CJ27]

dont forget Spa, thats a good old style track. I totaly agree though Ricelution.

[IndyCCWSF1]

@Rivelution suzuka & sepang are good circuit in asia. but others suck

[quasiphatpaul]

@Rivelution Did you see the chinese grand prix a few weeks ago? They have entire sections of the stands turned into advertising... that's sad.

[Rivelution]

@quasiphatpaul

Yes I did, and did you also notice that when Buemi had his weird accident and one of the tires went into a viewing area, nobody was hurt because nobody was probably sitting there lol!! Shanghai's lack of attendance saved somebody's life lol

[quasiphatpaul]

@Rivelution actually that's a really great point

[JontieDesario]

@Rivelution agreed, as well as that the new tracks are all flat and featurless and you know that are not going to be any dramatic crashes or incidents. compare spa as a track to bahrain.

[MiniMaster34ever]

@Rivelution what about Indianapolis, in the USA? Now that was a really entertaining and fast track

[kzbxvz]

@Rivelution Agree!!

[tlanohoecr]

This is not the European Grand Prix, this is the German Grand Prix in Hockenheim.

[NateDawg80126]

Yep, the European Grand Prix was held at Nürburgring.

[ezenico3000]

great sound

[basbb1]

Hej nice video of the real Hockenheim track before they ruined it!

Its old vid, but i don't care its nice :D

[muiramas]

used to love hockenheim before they fucked it up. it used to have character - great racing with cars slip streaming through the forests. long time ago now...

[Silverarrow77]

big big twitch in stadium complex section!

[rkooij]

lol yeah, nice catch!

[alinasser4]

the engin sounds really nice

[factoryaudidriver]

They should have kept this version ALONG with the current circuit. Then the LeMans Series could test on the old circuit for LeMans.

[LarryKEKE]

I loved the old Hockenheim circuit....hate how they ruin every old school circuit and replace it with shit. I loved the fact becuse hockenheim was such a long circuit....when it rained there were parts that very completely dry and parts that were a wash

[keraunos4]

it is old hockenheim!not europe!

[LarryKEKE]

mika was very slow on this lap....why?

[kombatunit]

Because it was wet at places.

[vansoth]

wet all over the place. I wonder how they can bounce over the curbs in the wet and not lose traction.

[kartracerkento8]

it f1 i dont no

[Jamjoe89]

V10 engine sound owns! :D

[SPECTRE9200]

true that

[SfanFZR]

I miss this track, new version is stupid

[SPECTRE9200]

he is pretty much in Europe though

[SPECTRE9200]

look germany is in europe remember.i don't mean the name of the grand prix.i mean location wise

[Cynti0809]

Thats not europe thats Hockenheim old Layout.

[SPECTRE9200]

is Mika on slicks

[Stereolabdream]

Anyone who is idiot enough to question how much these guys earn should watch clips like this...supreme control in the wet at 300kph...footballers can't even begin to imagine earning their money through such danger, focus and skill.

[xvitaAA]

wow great car control by mika at the stadium seccion. And BTW this is an old hockenheim circuit, so it´s not european gp but german gp 2000. Anyway thx for uploading, it´s great to hear those old V10 engines and see classic old hockenheim circuit again. I miss it.

[Ultrasstockholm]

Wasent the track wet when mika made this lap ?

[MightyMobileRacer]

german gp is hard to race.i play f1,all my tyres are off my car.

[StackProductionsBV]

Is that he original sound of the engine?

[1cem6n]

Sweet engine sound

[A7XxFANxFORxLIFE]

wow..the cars sure sounded differently back then..

[magyare09]

what a great correction in the stadium part

[shazmeister2005]

the mclaren of 00-02 sounded absolutly magical bring back the v10s!

[svo65]

at indy in 2000 and 2001 i remember how good the mclaren sounded. it was awesome.

[aslkdrjd]

bad lap

[Ihmameis]

No europian gp, it's hocke german gp.

[BackmaniaC]

the track is wet diegocerra :P

[diegocerra]

that's not European GP, that's GERMAN GP

[scuderia4re]

Well said. I could see that it was Hockenheim when it was in the little box before I clicked on it.

[diegocerra]

one question... why does he go so slow?

[ryanndi]

yse that Hockenheim and not Nurburgring

[pumashoes42]

this is before they killed the track

[f1fan84]

@pumashoes42 killed it ?? this old track was way too long and boring i think they actually resusitated it
