1984 Monaco Grand Prix - part 1

[king2pac1992]

weißt du, wo man rennen der 80er auf deutsch herbekommt?

[haggidubious]

What a great race this was. Legends from top to tail.

[blackmanta07]

I love Monaco

[81broncoman]

Hey, I remember this year, this was when Ayrton Senna got screwed out of a win by Alan Prost for the first time.

[THEORIGINALEXSCAPER]

Something isnt it. Alboreto, DeAngelis, Senna, Bellof, all died at the wheel. RIP

[vipmd]

a fire "tender" lol @ british

[rainbowsalads]

The frame rate is jittery on this footgae probably due to converting from one frame rate to another which at times requires a converter to blend from frame to frame instead of holding or skipping.,adobe for example does not do this during conversion ,you need a plugin like 'Twixtor pro'

[dedte1]

In now days they would start the race with a pace car, I hate the actual ruling

[F1FullRace]

thanks SO much for this!

[Zoomer30]

And D Warrick wrecks....what are the odds of that?

[Zoomer30]

Wetting down the tunnel.....that never even crossed my mind.

[danthemanpatrick]

Anyone who could have gone to this race but decided to stay home and watch it on TV is an idiot.

[danthemanpatrick]

Will old F1 videos ever get old? I think not.

[Bzking23]

those were the best lookimg f1 cars ever

[FrodothePuppet]

As a Yank (yes, there are F1 fans here in tin-top land), I find it amusing when English commentators explain the speeds in MILES per hour. Are American units of measurement taught in British schools?

Warwick is cool! He obviously had leg pain, but he'll just walk it off!

[TheMagic147]

@FrodothePuppet Well, I'm German, but as far as I know, "miles" aren't American units, but actually British ones. Since the USA and Britain have a common history (colonialism), they have the same measurements. But as I said, I'm German and therefore I'm not sure.

[CounterX01]

Didn't have space to say, but fantastic upload. Great race too - 1980s Grand Prix cars just plain move better.

[iKilledZed]

its to dry to drive? rofl

[jerkholic]

1984, that's the first year of Senna in F1.

[159ALFATI]

Thank you for upload this video. this ist great history of formula1

[gtaboy1224567]

the track looks likes its in 2010 year

[159ALFATI]

@gtaboy1224567

the track has changed. the chicane is different, the part between pool and rascass is different and the pitlane is since 2003 on the other side

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

A million thanks for uploading these races schopfheim91.

[hardman666]

The Japanese in the 07:00 says "The mix up of the video and audio is due to the original master tape"

[AMERICANA111]

Thanks for the video....I've watched every race from 1986 on, and a few from before. Had seen fragments of this one. It's a real treat to be able to watch the whole race!

[barrichello1990]

that son of a bitch jakcy icks stopped the race so prost should win. the irony is this: if the race was completed and prost finished second he would have earned 6 points. because the race stopped instead of earning 9 win points (old system if you know it), he earned 4,5. if he finished second he would have been champion in the end.

[pceckett]

Senna deserved to win so everybody else SHUT THE FUCK UP

[cstrnutt2004]

Could not agree with you more!

[TasmanProductions]

5:16 to 5:40 was it really that windy?

[vivaSchumi7]

BELLOF!!!!!!! RIP Rain Master

[erickmtb]

This was the best race in Monaco at all time and care but the most exciting in the history of F1, frustration for some, joy for others ..! We see an E. Irvine that although he took the blue flag will never step a sedi D. Coulthard, J. Alessi to boot a victory by the veto, and that O. Panis won his only race in the 1st and the F1 ..! I remember when I saw her live, full emocion ..! .. Congratulations on this material!

[gmoralesn]

You're talking about the 1996 monaco GP: This is the 1984 Monaco GP.

[erickmtb]

Ok, tankyou..

[whiskydog777]

eeh?

[erickmtb]

Esta fue la mejor carrera de monaco en todos los tiempo, y cuidado sino la mas emocionante de la historia de la F1, frustracion para unos, alegria para otros..!! Vemos un E.Irvine que a pesar que le sacaron la bandera azul nunca le sedio el paso a D.Coulthard, un J.Alessi que bota la victoria por la vetana, y un O.Panis que gana su 1ra y unica carrera en la F1..!! Recuerdo cuando la vi en vivo, full emocion..!!Felicitaciones por este material..!!

[bealerDSB]

awsome : 0:35 Commodore Banner ! YEA - Amigas rule...

[swistral1]

The first real glimps of Senna's genius. He truly can be considered the best. R.I.P.

[assais]

Senna dominated this race with his shitty car, a genius. Formula 1 is nothing since he died

[NickPatrick2]

Toleman was built by Byrne and was not shitty. Even Johansson did fine with it. It was a car fit for talents!

[digoclocks]

Alltough i'm a big fan of Ayrton and i admired him very much, The truth is that in this race Bellof was gaining faster on Senna than Senna did on Prost. So if Ickx didn't finished the race for safety reason the outcome would not necessary be in Senna's favor

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

people seem to forget that:

1. bellof's car was the best car in the race for these conditions

2. there is a strong chance bellof wouldn't have passed him

3. bellof was disqualified later in the season so senna would've won either way because bellof was driving an ILLEGAL car...

[digoclocks]

Indeed Bellof would have had great difficulties to pass Senna But it would have been a nice spectacle between these two young drivers.

And yes, in those days there were more illegal cars. Engineers were realy playing the rules at ther maximum. Remembre the water thanks to have more weight.

[falmark187]

People often overlook Stefan Bellof in this race, he is kinda lost because of the Senna Prost fight. He raced a great race.

Tyrell did get DQ because of weight infringements however he started at

22nd place and ended up i 3rd that is still and incredible drive. Sadley he died the year after.

[villy27]

Yes, look what Brundle did in Detroit. The Tyrrell was a very good car for tight street circuits!

[villy27]

Belloff was faster when he had a clear track in front of him, but Senna won a lot of time, when it came to passing. In the early laps of the race, Bellof was only a second and two cars behind Senna, but than the brazilian was faster working his way trough the field. So it would have been very hard for bellof passing Senna even if he would have catched him!

[xpandia]

@digoclocks catching senna is one thing overtaking though is a whole different story as you probably know

[nosajnil2]

@digoclocks

but I think Bellof's car was later found to have unfair advantage

Senna and Mansell were not the only new drivers to run near the front – Stefan Bellof finished third and had been closing on both Senna and Prost.[4] The Tyrrell team's results were erased later in the season due to weight infringements.

So Senna is still King!

[maladsyko]

@digoclocks : but don't forget that bellof was driving a normal aspirated cosworth engined car, which was the ideal car for such a track especilly in such conditions. so being fair, one have to admit senna was really over the top compared to all other drivers that day. driving a turbo engined car on a wet twisty narrow track is far harder !

[bealerDSB]

formula one nothing since he died ? what a stupid thing to say.

[PiquetBT52]

I believe the reason the comentary sounds like that is : phone lines. I believe the BBC used phone lines to get the audio back to Britain for broadcast. Monte Carlo is crowded, and of course they use a 'world feed' for the video. I suggest this idea because I have a VHS copy of BBc broadcast (via CBC) of the 1987 Monaco GP, and the effect of what could be a phoneline is even stronger.

[oilysocket]

thanks for uploading this, its great to hear murrey and james together

[pinkfloyddwc]

great! thanks for posting this!

[DFP1987]

Also you can see in the grid before the start of the race, the commentary booth of ABC´s Wide World of Sports.

[smileyguy21]

im sure thats the way the comentary was broadcast back in 1984 thanks for posting these clips mate :-)

[Gazibegovic]

Why Is the Commentary so bad?

[schopfheim91]

Because I downloaded it like that and either it was a bad upload or - which is more likely - the coverage was just like that.

[TiagoWakabayashi]

@schopfheim91 pq the video is japanese tv?

[CounterX01]

@schopfheim91 - it looks like someone's spliced audio from one of Duke's mail-in tapes with the BBC commentary. The chap at the start is... Simon Taylor, I think. The Duke tapes tended to come out months after the races and had access to much more material than the BBC did. They were usually an hour of highlights, but IIRC the Monaco 84 one had to be padded because the race was shortened, hence the 'flavour' stuff at the start.

[punndog84]

@Gazibegovic ive got the 85 race on dvd and it sounds the same

[ZotalentNL]

@Gazibegovic: Bad commentary?? the best, Murray Walker and James Hunt, What do you want omgt

[CrudbucketOnTour]

Look in the top-right corner of the video at 05:16 and you will get a good idea of how bad the conditions are. You can see the sails of the boats wobling from side to side violentley!

[DAH210774]

Lauda started 8th not 7th, but it is amazing anyway. Thank you so much for uploading :-) I love Murray and James' commentary and I couldn't agree more about the long list of legendary drivers - it's something like in Field of Dreams, or perhaps Streets of Dreams. First Class, well done ;-)

[VampireYoshi]

Here where I sit in Indianapolis, we'd call this one of the races that separates the friggin' posers from the diehards. Every single pure fan (unaffiliated with any of the teams) who attended that race should be toasted to a round of drinks; for the love of the sport, baby.

[boxerevolution]

O_O Amazing man,thanks !

[kiruderf1]

where did lauda start?

[schopfheim91]

In the beginning you can see it. He started 7th on the grid. In 1984 he was very often down the grid. His best qualifying result was 3rd at Silverstone. Only 7 times he started from the first 3 rows and 4 times he started worse than 9th. Although he became world champion.

[basica86]

thanks for uploading this !!! it brings memory back !

[TheGoldenSphinx]

Look at that grid! Prost, Mansell, Lauda, Senna, Patrese, Alboreto, Arnoux, Tambay, Piquet, Rosberg, Laffite, Bellof and MotoGP ledgend Johnny Cecotto!

[schopfheim91]

Don't forget de Angelis.

[TheGoldenSphinx]

True, he was in there too and is among those that are not with us any moore: de Angelis, Alboreto, Senna and Manfred Winkelhock.

[wyleratkhon]

And Bellof.

[AstraJOM]

Absolut genial! Ich freu mich schon auf den Rest!

[allgrownupfan07]

great upöoad, can't wait for the next parts =)

[Formula1Zone93]

I watched it... :) pls upload part 2 soon :)

[Formula1Zone93]

[Melee2008Brawl]

It's like driving in pea soup there, it was bad in 97, but that was atrocious...
