Golden days of f1 respect

[Santojo95]

well I just cant wait a year, so I searched for the song. Electric Light Orchestra is the band, Easy street is the song.

[Santojo95]

Awesome, just awesome. Which song is the first one?

[silvawtf69]

Back when F1 drivers smoked!! we dont see that nowadays

[mink31]

Ronnie didn't burn - he dies from complications of a broken leg. James Hunt pulled him out of the burning car, but the flames never got Ronnie. F1 had no plan on what to do if a driver got hurt, Ronnie would still be racing if this crash happened 5 years later.

[perezio]

@mink31 wow, like Zanardi's crash?.

[SlamDuncDrummer]

Man that has to be tough to see your friend burn to death.

[jboweruk]

@SlamDuncDrummer Though he never burned to death it was the beginning of the end for James Hunt.

[officialraf]

9:40 two biggers race drives to Sweeden ever made : Ronnie Peterson and Gunnar Nilsson

[rugaferenc]

Perfect video. great music choice!

[Sidsix5555]

Its always easy to look back in hindsight and say this or that, but I cant help but feel that those drivers, were a different breed than todays drivers.



[Kurosawa57]

is it from Radar love by Golden Earring

[Kurosawa57]

could somebody please tell me from which song the music (percussion) in the final part of the video is (after the accident).

[PiShoN79]

Great stuff, I was there for some of it......Mario DID IT!

Rest in Peace Mark Donahue and thanks for your time!

[bten870814]

05:19-05:23 the yellow person (xD) is flavio briatore???

[MrWillemmol]

absolutely great first part of the video, even the big man gordon murray is there.

watch his new electric city car

[red03mitsu]

excellent video. god i loved seeing those renaults again. those were some bad-ass cars back then.

[LewisHamilton1991]

Rob Smedley At 3:56 In The Middle Of Hunt & Jody.. Fuck Rob Has Been In F1 For Years Now.. Lol. Well A Look A Like.

[MotorsportUK2009]

RIP, Ronnie Paterson RIP Gilles Villienuve RIP patrick depailler RIP James Hunt

[jamemarsh]

It's like a film style intro sequence, only with real stars, not play actors. Good choice of music.

[MrVolvo340]

when men were men.

[thargor1981]

P.S. how good do those cars look????? .. with sick rubber on the tyres.....

[thargor1981]

OMG..OMG...OMG...OMG... this video is awesome......

this was just before i was born ive heard all the storys though.. this is what REAL F1 is... REAL heros..... RIP Ronnie RIP Patrick RIP Giles....

F1 these days is full of rich kids with the fastest cars.... give me a turn Lewis .... ill kick your ass!!!!!!!!

[TakumiFujiwara80]

maybe they are slower than today drivers due to lack of tecnhical background but i wonder why they look so "man" while today f1 pilot looks like silly pussy,,, I don't want to say this cause i respect actual drivers,but formula 1 seems far away a hero sport in those 1978 days....

[perezio]

@TakumiFujiwara80 Incredible cars, very unsafety, the head is completly free without protection, only the helmet.

[TakumiFujiwara80]

maybe they are slower than today drivers due to lack ok tecnhical background but i wonder why they look so "man" while today the f1 pilot looks like silly pussy,,, I don't want to say this cause i respect actual pilot,but formula 1 seem far away a hero sport in those 1978 days....

[83redshadow]

the irony is that Giacomelli was thought to be more seriously injured. Ronnie died of something that can happen to anyone who breaks a bone. Dr Sid Watkins gives details as to what happened in the hospital in his book "Life at the Limit" a must read for any formula one fan.

[jaktasa]

@83redshadow Brambilla not Giacomelli

[goerge4]

jodi sheckter < gilles villeneuve

[kissoriginal]

Great job Thx Just love this F1.

Best to you

K

[markko17]

Thanks for posting!! Lotus 79, the most gorgeous F1 car ever!! But as Mario used to say, "Working for Chapman wasn't no trip to Paris!"

[TanoUrzua]

Awesome video......incredible skills and passion!

[setkaiba]

i wish the start would be like todays..stop and go!!!cause that is a caramboll..:(((rip ronnie..from turkey..

[anneloev]

Great video, stunning to see all the childhood-heroes in a row like this. Thank you. A great loss is truelly shown, yet we all know the competitors he drove against. So many men, so many competent and skillful. And then so many losses.

[anfiel]

title first song??

[stefanorso]

Do u want the truth?

Ronnie Peterson was killed by the medics who, just to show how good they were convinced to be, reduced all the fractures in just a single surgical operation. An embolism was inevitable and it claimed the life of the Swedish driver.

That's all.

[anneloev]

@stefanorso An embolism it was, but its not for sure that it was because of overconfident doctors. He suffered massive traumatic fractures, causing great harm and suspectedly chock - and thereby also risking system collapse. It was a medical decision, not a overconfident one.

[mulcajbm]

Er, that's not 'Radar Love.'

[cass276]

Good Vid

They might not have been so aerodynamically efficent as the cars today...But by god they were Beautifull and different.

Remember the scream of the 12 cylinder Ferrari's on full chat down Hanger Straight Silverstone?.

Go to the Donnington Museum they are all in there.

[snappy452]

Very cool video. Not to say the events of that day. You can kinda see the look of a warrior in their eyes. They know what could happen, but thats what they do, and thats partially why they do it. The risk is part of the reward.

[ozoffroader]

RIP Ronnie!!!  Never Forgotten

[qusimano]

thank you so much for this great video! ;)

[SemroDK]

Gay music

[garym113]

Absolutely rare and face enlightening of the drivers of the time and the emotion that we do not see anymore. Can you imagine such an horrific accident in F1 now days ? Amazing how times have changed so rapidly, yet the machines were just as awsum 35 years ago - and much more dramatic and spectacular and easy on the eye...

[pistonv8]

Excelente!!!!!!!!!!!

[freddydasmesser]

all the heros 

[DGarcia879]

:30 - - - I notice the World Cup patch on Reutimann's outfit. in honor of his nation hosting the tourney that year. Awesome

[duarte558]

Congratulation,, this good video, very much,

[dragmile]

great......thank you

[Ilko2007]

You just gotta love those old F1 cars :P

[comali2212]

The james Bonds of F1 Lol

[jraybay]

Mario andretti, Emerson fittipaldi :D , Niki lauda, Gilles villenueve, Ronnie peterson, Jackie ickx, Jody sheckter, keke rosberg, j.p jabouille. Holly all of this guys are legends D: . I wish I can see this racing but am born 13 years later

[digoclocks]

aaaah, the old days!! a time were fairplay amongst college's was a normal attitude.

An attitude that today's racers don't have anymore.

[bavarianbass]

missing the old days....

[DantheGermanGamer]

Well that would be good, if not always the names would be displayed.

[johnkibb]

Excellent and very enjoyable, brought back some good childhood memories of watching these heros of a past era with my farther (and what a great era). Thanks for posting.

[kristov29]

Hard to remember back to a time when the cars actually carried the driver's name in readable sized print. These days just setting aside a 3X5 inch piece of body work for the driver's name on the side of the car would probably result in the loss of $1 million in advertising fees.

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

Driver's names? Shit, you can be standing right next the the things these days and not even be able to find the frickin' car number.

[SaradominStrikes]

RIP Ronnie P. Great video, 5*s

[Drizzleshizzle772]

Very nice indeed.

[babisbabou]

Keep up the good work, nice videos ;-)

[13SUPERMAN1]

Hey that was fast good one

[driftdaniel]

those drivers were masters, pure machine and manual gearbox, no electronic devices as now. What could do pilots of today if they would have to drive such machines like those?

[bastianoreddigo]

ich frage mich bis heute, ob man den namen jacques LAFITTE oder LAFFITE schreibt.....

[pistonv8]

EXCELENTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[imagos]

stunning! glad its back!

[TheMrMMR]

Hey man, I like your videocut - good work and thanks for posting !!!

[MikeAndMechanics]

- reloaded and back again ;-)

thanks very much for all the interesting comments to this video the two years before !!!

greets @ all friends of the past F1 era :-)

[vashlin]

@MikeAndMechanics

Please, what is that first song. Love it and can't seem to find it.

thanks

[snappy452]

@vashlin @anfiel thats Electric Light Orchestra (or ELO for short) - Easy Street. Great song.

[vashlin]

@snappy452

Thanks, snappy! Always loved ELO. Can't believe I didn't recognize their signature sound.

Have just got it on my itunes and am listening to it now.
