German TV Channel Premiere sometimes show classic F1 races (Not in full, but extended highlights) on their sports channels. Also the BBC Sport website are showing highlights from 'Classic' GP's prior to a race.

[niikodas]

everyone should write to ESPN classics to try and get them show F1 races.

[AaronApolloCamp]

FIA actually let SPEED Channel show classic Grands Prix from 2003-2005. This is the only instance of F1 races being re-aired in any country.

[Fabregasanddagunners]

Reutemann won which angered his team, he lost the championship but Jones would have won it had they have swapped places. Jones failed to go on the podium after this race lmao!

[Showdepopulares]

@Fabregasanddagunners es una estupidez tu comentario, el equipo no apoyó a Reutemann y perdió el campeonato en la ultima carrera por un punto contra Piquet, le pusieron una caja de direccion dañada, no les importaba el título a Williams, el error de Reutemann sue correr con Williams, debería haberse quedado en Ferrari, donde hizo un trabajo excelente con las cubiertas Michelin, si hubiese esperado sería varias veces campeón. Aún hoy no sabemos para que lo contrató el tonto de Frank Williams.

[flipsidedogchop]

@Fabregasanddagunners Actually the 3 extra points for the win would have left him on 49, one behind piquet on 50

[Holden308]

Brilliant race track. Pity it's on borrowed time. I guess money talks more and more in this world :o(

[flipsidedogchop]

@Holden308 on borrowed time? jacarepagua hasnt been used in F1 for 20 years

[loidelv]

I am brazilian. I was there, in a very special day. Thanks for this vídeo.

[sstiel]

May I ask where you found this footage? Thank you.

[AndyKane86]

Man this video brings back memories. Racing today is so absolutely different from the 70's and 80's.
