F1 Nürburgring 1999 part 1

[1dogeez]

well thats not mentioned in the starters profile as a starter its part of his job to force them to leap off the line

[MrRodzilla]

i wonder why F1 hasnt taken this video down after 3 years

i think its because they leave it up as an example of Formula 1 at its best

[LiMaOPC]

Ralf Chumakka

[DromEdxFr]

One of the best GP i ever seen. I can't as much at nowdays F1.

1998 and 1999 are my favorite seasons. I love true tracks (where are gone san marino, argentinian gp, french gp and so on ? ...) true drivers ! (i miss ferntzen, irvine and many others, fuck hamilton, vettel alonso etc...)

before was better at all points

[RIEKSONE]

this is johnny herbet last win

correct

[Pingu123489]

where is michael schumi

[dok441]

@Pingu123489 Schumi had the crash in Silverstone where he broke his leg. That was 2 races before that one. He had to miss 6 races.

[DeadbeatXT]

Hill + WIlliams= Success

Hill + Jordan= Failue

Frentzen + Williams= Failure

Frentzen + Jordan=Success

[twizzicles23]

The Formula 1 race that ranks as my favourite race of all time. Pure genius. :D

[Yhacbec]

Great race, this Gp it would be the very first win on Ralf Schumacher´s carrer, fantástic GP.

[justinclaus102]

jordan was very good

[MilleniumLP]

1999 was Jordans best Season!!! So sadly that these yellow Jordan with these wonderful driver no more exist :(

[l0dgey]

wtf lol

[idiotsdream]

I think Diniz broke his neck in that accident.

[FM5KR6F2007]

@idiotsdream Axtually he didnt. He was treat like that incase there was an injury of sorts. But thankfully no injury and he continued again in Malaysia.

[tortoise117]

Start fail :')

[samfisher5]

Murray Walker is the best commentator ever !

[juan833blue]

@samfisher5 Indeed!!!

[Phoenix1664]

I never really rated frentzen, thought he was mediocre. Better than Wurz though....

[0casin0]

frentzen was one of the funniest and most talented guys of the nineties, but he wasn't egoistic enough to become world champion

and team-mate hill was great too. although he got champion he's underrated too

[0casin0]

frentzen was one of the funniest and most talented guys of the nineties, but he wasn't egoistic enough to become world champion

[nixxxon18]

damn that must've hurt, the roll protection failed!

[dukeofstradone]

wurz was rubbish!!

[PowerOfTheColours]

0:55 williams car nearly hit coulthard

[andrewlawrence2209]

Look very carefuul at 0:50 or 0:51 at the top of the blue box. You can clearly see the yellow lights caome on

[FormulaOneExpert]

ASTONISHING race!!!!!!!!

[nmann15]

Thumbs up if you wanted a crash at 54.

[Phoenix1664]

@Preston4eva12 You cant compare Brundle to legard, because legard is the lead commentator and brundle is color. But I agree that legard is crap, he got a bit better as his time went on, but when he first came to f1 he didnt have a clue what he was talking about. I thought murray was great, but now when i hear him, like legard, he tends to get alot of stuff wrong. Brundle is on the most respected people in f1 and is hugely influencial, he pretty much cost legard his job. Brundle knows his stuff.

[Phoenix1664]

@hadabenz I disagree, i think he was overrated, he had his chance at williams and he couldnt produce the goods, i think he was a solid driver, but certainly not spectacular. I can think over more underrated drivers, Alesi, Brundle, heidfeld ect ect...

[joniluha]

haha the guy sitting on the jordan on 4:26 - 4:30 :D

and great job by the marshals!!

[avaitionnerd111]

great job the marshals done they were on the scene trying to turn the car over within 30seconds

without marshals f1 wouldn't be possible

great race , great job by the marshals ,

great to see Frentzen leading a very talented driver

great video thanks for sharing :)

[holden0001]

thats a scary crash.  his neck must have been dragging along the ground undeneath the car, at that speed scary

[tommo912]

Best start to a gp

Aborted start then a saftey car the next because they crashed

You can just about see the orange lights flashing when all of the lights are on

[tommo912]

Best start to a gp

Aborted start then a saftey car the next because they crashed

[HiddenWingz]

Same almost happened this year, lights went on for a very long time ^^ Thankfully they finally went off though! Curse Murray's tone change

[MusicFan668]

schlimmer unfall am Anfang

[Boyninja616]

Gené didn't stall. He and Zanardi lined up out of sequence.

[iraklaras99yt]

that was the REAL f1!!!!



[MegaMrDamo]

i can never remember the jump starrt kerfuffle happening, quite funny though

[preston4eva12]

Martin Brundle always says there should be a red flag when theres a crash xD

[largegent]

@preston4eva12 does he bollocks. however he does know what he's talking about, unlike yourself.

[preston4eva12]

@largegent and your basing that on one comment?

[largegent]

@preston4eva12 What else do I have to bas my comment on? Martin Brundle is an incredibly experienced and respected commentator and participant in motor sport. He is one of the few that advocates a more exciting race over ridiculously stringent safety rules.

[preston4eva12]

@largegent im not arguing that, i think he's a brilliant commentator, much better than Legard

[GeckarborG]

a jordan on the pole? lol^^

ein jordan auf der pole? lol^^

[Marcus666Sund]

Heinz Harald Frentzen was a very underrated driver!

[7byseven]

"its so unusual to see an F1 car fly that easily" Martin must have forgot his 1996 flight.

[andyavfc85]

this was arguably the best race of the 90's

[MrKeyboard69]

GR8 race.

[23everybreathyoutake]

Blimin Australians always having their two cents!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[23everybreathyoutake]

Eddie Irvine was a very good driver............shame he ain't around anymore he deserved better from Ferarri that year for sure.......Damon should of done better, this was not his year

[MrKeyboard69]

I agree for Luca and Damon, he should have moved. Also, later in the race, Murray says Martini was the last Minardi point before Gene, but it was actually Lamy ,I think in 1995 or 1996.

[PennineProductions]

Yep, Adelaide 1995.

[MrKeyboard69]

@PennineProductions thanks

[schumipersempre]

brilliant race i suggest you watch all of it

[DennisofLowestoft]

Brundle tried to be smart and correct (wrongly) Walker that the car was a Sauber. What Walker had said that the car in the background thatt had stopped and wasn't upside down was a Benetton, so Brundle was wrong and Walker was right.

[DennisofLowestoft]

Stupid lights. That was funny at the start when Frentzen and a few others had to stop. Well done Stewart Grand Prix

[hosueyr1111]

Yeah, great race but the lights sucked.

[pocketdynamo87]

I rememberd this race as a very special one.. but i forgot this start!^^ unbelievable!

[rhysepoos]

Lol me too. It's one of the best moments in F1, though.

[DAH210774]

Hill should have pulled off the track, he could have killed Diniz

[knetter050]

You said it right bro!

Over toeval gesproken dat ik jou hier aantref hehe ;-)

[LucaBadoerFan]

it's such a shame luca's gearbox had to fail, with thirteen laps to go, =( if only ferrari had made the correct decision, and replaced the then-injured schumacher with luca badoer. i can only imagine what could have been ...

but, don't worry, he got two races with ferrari this year. never mind he didn't know the car, and hadn't driven in a grands prix in ten years, and was clearly not up to standard. ferrari, you were ten years too late. now luca will never score a world championship point.

[alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

A great race. Thanks for posting it up. Eddie got short changed by the Ferrari pit crew!! Mika got lucky he didn't deserve the points at the end, he had gone to sleep for most of the race! Well done Johnny Herbert!!!

[badhorrill]

i like wurz odd boots lol

[nzoplkj]

I just love howe Martin Brundle is constantly correcting Murray Walker. LoL

[YeomanTheDespot]

Very weird crash, first and only time I saw a Roll-bar fail.

[hadabenz]

Frentzen was very very talented.... One of the underrated drivers, even back then....

[Rikogarson]

@hadabenz like Jean Alesi

[dansus99]

@hadabenz His wife was hot stuff too..

[dukeofstradone]

@hadabenz could have won the title that year also

[RyckardPT]

@hadabenz i agree with you, he was extreme quick but not VERY intelligent. He lost his chance in 1997 big time when he lost for his team mate and world champion that year jaques villeneuve.

[kein96]

The best start of the race in F1 :D

[suineggninnips]

Murray Walker at the crash - "bang" XD

[Fuckdencio]

nice to see a jordan on the pole

[drplbiftin]

Amazing race - Jordan on pole but two Stewarts on the podium at the end including a winner!

[Colinmrcae1991]

wot hell is going on there

[ECT100]

Ive just thought its strange they left the decision 2 abort the start very late its good that 2day tho they would just do another warm up lap!!!!

[ocsif111]

UAUU!!

[ECT100]

Does anyone know why the race did get aborted? Ive have been always trying 2 find that out!!!!

[TheReaper88890]

It didn't, Johnny Herbert for the Stewart GP Team ended up winning the Nurburgring GP

[ECT100]

No i know that lol!! but what im asking is what caused the false start at the begnning?

[schopfheim91]

Gené stalled at the back of the grid.

[ECT100]

Ok thanks!!!

[playingbass45]

@schopfheim91 I heard in Road & Track magazine's review of the 1999 F1 season, in the section that covered this race, that two cars were actually out of their proper grid positions. It did not say which two, nor did it mention Gene stalling his car. Of course, with the video not saying so, it's hard to tell.

[jameel989]

@schopfheim91 whats stalled

[hhJACK92]

According to wikipedia, Zanardi and Gené were out of sequence when they lined up on the grid.

[ECT100]

Ok thanks!!!!

[jasonjarvis1988]

this was when racing was at its best. all of the drivers are higly talented also murray walker the best f1 commentator ever

[tubadude07]

I agree, Lewis Hamilton got nothing on any of these drivers.

[fastmclaren71]

its the sign of the times. each era of racing is totally different and you can't compare the drivers like that, unless they were in a race together.

[IMMAVIVIAN]

I swear that if we go back in time and the failed start hadn't happened, the chaos wouldn't have happened.

[swistral1]

One of the most interesting races ever.

[SiniAndRodrigo]

1999...

[getyayayaout]

so many ppl could have won this race...

[trix1117]

poor Luca Badoer...

[pcw1995]

oops lol

[Ulker1707]

i love u! Thx 4 add this mov!!!:D

[Sirius1985]

Wonderful race, thank you

[360GodF1]

whats the music called at 9:15 thanks

[360GodF1]

lol forget i even put this

[mikeantfahey]

The Prodigy - Breathe

[t00nfan4life]

a jump start ive never seen one before!!!

[Fabregasanddagunners]

It's happened many times just usually people get cautions and sanctions, in the 2000 Season I think it was 1999, Hakinnen jumped the start by a tiny margin and was later penalized, the lights still went out!

[PhalkenDrift]

gotta love that F1 sound!

[TheBigRedEvil]

Turn 8???

[rhysepoos]

You gotta love Murray, "It's probably Jean Alesi"

[juhni]

Great race!

[KovalainenElias]

Nice.

[tomomahony101]

oh somebodys over .. Murry: BANG!!!!

[DiddyArmedDragon]

Has anyone else noticed that the 2 BARs were different colours? I liked Zonta's 2 tone blue and white car

[me35656]

Why was no one penalized for the jump start?

[schopfheim91]

The race was stopped before they jumped and so, I think, everything happening after doesn't matter. Marc Gené had stalled his engine.

[me35656]

lol that was lucky otherwise Fisi woulda had pole

[db1987db]

I remember watching this and recall correctly, two of the drivers, one being Gene, formed on the grid in the wrong place so they had to restart the race. Don't think it's happened since.

[BounceBackAbility89]

fisichella did it twice at sepang, i forget the years, once in a jordan, very embarrasing

[db1987db]

Ah yes he did! Well done for remembering that :) Sepang is one of my least favourite tracks...must be one of the reasons why it slipped my mind!

[erwinruys]

What a start, I already tought that the lights where still on when Frentzen jumped.

[F1since1996]

hahahahahaha great start :')

[freestie]

does any1 know how many more of hese races there are?

[barnos24]

Makes Diniz's incident in Argentina 96 look like nothing this does

[lookatmerockingout08]

Diniz was such a talented driver but he never had a superb machine to show off his talent...or he was always number 2 driver to experience drivers or world champions

[kiruderf1]

Bad Crash Diniz !

they tried to jump da start.

[expostier]

wow,poor sauber....and the worst is yet to come..^^

what's the song at 9:15?

[marcdv]

The song is Breathe, Prodigy

[JeanAlesi90]

But Diniz was Alesi's team mate at sauber(correct me if im wrong) and was never a match for him. Klien could easily match David Coulthard who won races.

[mazey90]

Diniz actually outscored Alesi in 1999 when they were team mates

[JeanAlesi90]

Christian Klien was much better than pedro Diniz and he was a pay driver!

[F1Ram]

Klien was OK, but he had better cars than Diniz.

[SonicRocket69]

I know he wasn't really very good, and kind of bankrolled by various companies, but I liked Pedro Diniz. Harsh accident..

[F1Ram]

Diniz was the best ever pay driver.

[SonicRocket69]

Nice to know someone agrees.. :)

[mazey90]

Agreed, he gave Damon Hill a run for his money in 1997 XD

[racermac1988]

Wow, whoever is in charge of the lights dropped the ball on that one.  That or Hakkinen was trigger happy.

[Slater582]

Do Autralian TV still use the UK feed?

I remember Steward picking up 6th but not much else, so it'll be a like watching it live XD

Thanks schopfheim.

[rizzle31]

Yes Australia do use the feed from the ITV (Martin Brundle and James Allen). It use to be on Channel 9 but in 2004 i think, Channel 10 bought the rights

[TommyBellingham]

Yes one of my favourite GPS ever! :D

[kokcep]

i would love to see the qualifying session for this race also..if someone who has it can upload it that would be nice

[rizzle31]

Was that Darrell Eastlake & Alan Jones at the very start talking? .. From Channel 9, Australia?

[MurcielagoMan]

yes

[swca92]

at the start the drivers reacted to the orange lights(above the red lights)which signalled the aborted start beacuse of the stalled car

[schopfheim91]

It is my absolute favourite race. 1999 was my first year that I was a real f1 fan.

[F1Ram]

Love the first start!

[Surj22]

Funniest strat ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Melee2008Brawl]

I was wondering where Micheal Schumacher was, but I forgot he broke both his legs at Silverstone.

[F1Ram]

It was a right cock up

[LukeStanton91]

God bless Murray

[arthurguitar]

Can't beat Murray Walker!

This was one of the most exciting races ever, so glad that its up.

Well played

[FerrariWC2007]

great race even if Ferrari did not win. I was happy for stewart

[adrenalinaverde]

A wonderful race........

[kornet345]

when will you upload all the parts?

Thanks anyway ;)

[schopfheim91]

Until now, I have tried it twice already to upload parts 3, 4 and 5

[kornet345]

Third time lucky :D

What's the problem? :S

[777RKO777]

nice, you got the english commentary, Murray Walker and Martin Brundle rule!!!
