Makes me extremely proud to be Scottish when you look at how well all Scots have done in F1. DiResta's going to become F1 champion one day. Just a shame Coulthard came along at the same time as Schumacher.
So much better than pussies like Vettel, who can only win a race if he's on pole. Stewart could win driving with one hand and starting from the rear. That's why he's my hero!. P.S. I'm an American f1 fan, but the purists piss me off. Leave oval racing alone, because I sure as hell can't do it.
@robert140602 todays kids would have to learn how to use 3 pedals properly if they got in this car. And.. If they went way back to 1936 before f1, the cars had nearly 600hp. sideways at 150mph on skinny tyres.Almost 200mph down long straights. No seat belt. All the drivers of the past wold be just fine in a modern f1 car [with a bit of neck training]
@robert140602 Actually matey he has driven some modern f1 cars and has done pretty well driving them considering his age. And i would love to see you jump in a modern f1 car and not be a corpse by the first corner. But obviously you think your michael schumacher. :)
Hendy 100: What's this about GLOVES? I made NO comment about gloves. My comment was directed towards the stick-shift-and-clutch assembly. Also, read comments bt the immortal Ayrton Senna on p. 26 of the latest (May) Autosport.
Think of the number of shifts per lap at Monaco and you'll get the point of my comment.
BTW I have a Butler Cobra and drive the living Hell out of it, hours at a time. No gloves----probably because I'm a sailor and gardner----with no gloves.
@WillHapgood2 I think you have no idea whatsoever what you are talking about. Drivers in F1 have been aware of the importance of physical fitness and athleticism long before the 'boys' of today.
@WillHapgood2 Jackie Stewart was a fitness fanatic, so was Francois Cevert, they knew they had to be in peak condition. Your an idiot to think these guys were out of shape in any way. MOST F1 drivers were in fantastic shape. Better get more informed before you start writing and seem like an idiot. I will put Lewis Hamilton in the ring with a 20 year old Jackie Stewart, and put all my packet on Stewart, period.....
One think that might be missing form F1 that people absolutely miss is the "raw-ness" of the cars. That ferocity and unpredictability (F1 is still a bit unpredictable, Seb Vettel-world champion) that it had especially from the drivers. I mean you don't see Lewis diving in a corner just to stop a rival like Senna and Prost. Still it seems modern F1 cars are too tame but it's still a brilliant sport. I just hate it when they cover up the sounds of the engines in videos (Tina Turner? no thanks)
The driver's from then may have a certain charm loved by everyone, but they are not better drivers. Today's driver would destroy the old folk. Today's driver are proper professional athletes.
Not getting close enough to the barriers/armco to be getting the most out of that car Jackie!!.............See "Senna Monaco in car camera 1987"................
@TiagoWakabayashi Its nowhere near as dark in there as the camera shows it to be. There are lights in there which allows not only the drivers but TV camera's to see. The video on the Tyrrell isn't set up for lighting so it appears dark.
It's Monaco 1978 since the Tyrrell he's driving is from that year ( Depailler/Pironi ). Stewart took the Tyrrell for a spin for the film maker Alain Boisnard. I have a photo' of him rounding the hairpin with the body missing and a huge cine camera bolted to the engine !
No wait...I've meant one thing and said something completley different here, Lol. What I meant to say is that the year isn't 1979, as Jackie Stewart retired from F1 at the end of 1973. Thats what I meant! :)
The lovely sound of the Cosworth V8, This is 72 or 73, the 70's probably had the most deaths in F1. Jackie is a great veteran driver that knows alot about F1 even today, but I put Jim Clark at #1 and Ayrton Senna at #2 as best drivers in history.
@weestuburns Has Monaco really changed much? Fair enough, safety is hundreds times better in F1 now, but there are still guardrails around Monaco. Still little to no run-off areas. But since the cars aren't going anywhere near the speeds they were safely designed to go, danger to life and limb is somewhat reduced.
Seriously though, how narrow is this track? Still, its part of the charm.
I've been to monaco many times. The street is like a normal street. The front straight is the longest with 3 lanes, the rest is 2 lanes and Casino turn is the narrowest with 1.5 lane I would say.
@MrNinjaFish This is so true. With less down force, but still incredibly powerful engines, the cars were incredibly hard to drive. Completely unforgiving andd requiring absolute precision.
@MrNinjaFish I don't think that Formula One drivers today have it any easier driving the car if that's what you mean. The cars are a lot faster and more sophisticated. To push them to the limit lap after lap requires a lot of stamina and strength due to the lateral G loads. But if you are talking about safety. Yes it is not so bad but the dangers are still very much there. Just that the consequences won't cost you your life if you screw it up.
@MrNinjaFish indeed before it was mostly engine power.. specially the first year of racing (not when F1 started but much before) it was all mechanich and the skill of drivers wa tested at maximum Thotle breaking shifting Clutch... lot of great men died doing what they love in the edge of speed
To many fans who are young and a little young, and who are also very emotional, to them senna is the best of all time, that's what they think but to legendary drivers, it is not. To Jackie, the best of all time are obviously Fangio, Moss, Clark, Lauda, Prost and Schumacher. If your not contended, try reading some of his books.
Yes, that's right. I liked Giles as much as anyone but he was a nutcase. His own son says he was crazy. People who suggest he was the greatest haven't got a clue. He specialized in crashing and he is just nowhere in terms of formula 1 history. He only ever won 3 races ! Team managers didn't even rate him in the top three ! The old man thought he was something specilal for whatever reason, but in the final analysis he was not a great F1 driver. He had no discipline at all.
Sorry, Giles won 6 races of course not 3 races. It's a well known statistic - but still not a great result for the time he was in F1 I don't know what made me say 3. Maybe after a few ales !
He did not you little grunt. He once acknowledged him as the best driver of the modern era. His views on the "all time best driver" are well known. He says that he doesn't think there is one. I present fact, you present bullshit you stroker. Now get going down to the carwash or you'll be late for work again.
Heres another one, Berger once said that, "when schumacher arrived in F1 in '91, we've decided not to like him because he looks arrogant, but it was Senna who was able to distinguished that Schumacher was something special. Senna also said that with maturity and experience, this kid schumacher would be a threat." Berger said. So you see its already berger and senna who said, there's more to that! If you want you can ask team principal Eddie Jordan, on who's better, if senna or schumacher?
Stewart did not say that senna was the best. What Stewart said, "senna was a wonderfully fast and talented driver but he would always choose Prost, because Prost was the best technical driver of their era and there's more to formula one than just going fast." Thats what Stewart said. In fact Stewart would prefer Mike Schumacher than Senna because Schumacher is a complete driver and has superb car control while senna is just fast and aggressive but not a developer of racing cars.
"senna is just fast and aggressive but not a developer of racing cars."
What?????? Firsty Schumi was just as aggressive as Senna; remember when he punted JV and Damon Hill on a number of occassions, he had the same 'do anything to win' mentalilty as Senna; both drivers could be described as being too ruthess. Secondly, if I had to name 2 drivers over history that were so dedicated to perfection and car development then it would be Senna and Schumi, remember Senna helped develop the Honda NSX
Its amazing to think that this vid was several years after his retirement, I reckon he could have won at least another championship, but he retired when he was at the height of his powers. :)
But cars were much harder to drive and most other tracks were way longer, harder and much much more dangerous than nowadays tilkedromes and mickey mouse tracks...
because you race it everyday don't you? fool. racing back then was dangerous, dusty tracks, kerbs, no downforce, no steering assists etc. if anything, today's track is harder!
In response to my friend pibbley, I simply mistook this video as some race footage, so my mistake. Also, calling Sir Jackie and "old man" was a joke! Lighten up. And I've never been able to talk out of my arse, but would like to learn how.
But a big thanks to Hendy for posting this! Always nice to see a legend in action...
Really, shows how little you know about F1, it is 78 the test is well documented. Do some reasearch before talking out your arse. Stewart retired in 73 aged 34 , he then aged at the same rate as evryone else so was only 5 years older in 1978... doh
Makes me extremely proud to be Scottish when you look at how well all Scots have done in F1. DiResta's going to become F1 champion one day. Just a shame Coulthard came along at the same time as Schumacher.
