@nowhereluke Well, Black Jack knew Jochen picked an already obsolete car. The incredible Lotus 72 WAS available but Jochen was truly old-school and asked for his old car back, which Chapman reluctantly agreed to. Black Jack was far ahead and thought he could simply cruise to victory to save tire wear but never thought Jochen would close the gap that quickly! Same thing happened to Damon Hill in Canada once.
I think monaco was much more marvelous back then. I dont feel any excitement while watching this race on TV. I guess, I have to be in person to admire it. -_-
Jochen Rindt was really one of the greatest drivers of history. The brave drivers like Rindt, Peterson, G. Villeneuve and Mansell will be remembered by the fans and not the "normal" drivers.
This was F1, nobody needs more racing !!!
RIP Jochen, you´ll be world champion for ever.
*I´m not Austrian and much junger than the old F1-fans, but I like the old F1 more than the new*
@MartinhoAUT That is today. I was linked to this video from an article commemorating this.
1970 must have been a very weird year for the Austrian F1 audience. To first experience such a collective moment of sadness when your hero is taken away from you, and then later he wins the World Championship and you're supposed to be happy, but... you can't, because... you're still mourning his death.
@MartinhoAUT I met Jochen at his flying club in April 1970, and he was very kind to a star struck kid at the time.
At Monaco he was chasing Brabham with a misfiring engine. 5 laps from the end that misfire cleared, and in the last 5 laps he broke the lap record 5 times. I've never seen anything like it, and I doubt anyone else has either.
My dad watched this at the time and he always said to me that the most blatant 'bottle job' was from Jack Brabham in Monaco 1970. Brabham apparently couldn't handle pressure and this perhaps shows that in the biggest possible way. How on earth did he let slip a 40 second lead and cruise so slowly for so long, without realising for the last laps? I also have tranferred this onto dvd and its the very same Norwegian telecast and will treasure it till I die!
He waits for Brabham, but he didnt pass the line. So Rindt drive trough and nobody checks it.
In an other video you see the flagman from the front. He looks 2 or 3 times to the side, because he thinks he let pass Brabham without the checkered flag. He looks very stupid in this moment.
These drivers are legends. Nobody of the modern era can became such as s great personality as thes men. Just look on the track. No safetyareas, the chicane at the harbour ist only protected with some bale of strowe.
Absolute perfect driving. When you make a mistake you can be dead. And to run the fastest lap in the last lap of this race ist extra superb.
Jochen Rindt did something that only before him was making by Clark and Fangio: Beat his pole time, and the pole time of the fastest man in pole [Stuart with 1'24 00] Rindt pole time was 1'25 9. in these race do one huge achievement in this race beat his pole time 6 times. In lap 38 he did 1' 24 300. In the finals 2 laps he beat by more than .5s the pole position time! In 79 1'23 300 lap 80 1' 23 200. For me the best race in Monaco. Only Senna beat his pole time before Rindt.
At 1.30 we see 4 drivers. I believe they are Brabham, Rindt, Courage and Siffert. Is that right, and if so what's the exact order ? I've read conflicting accounts of this.
Thanks for that Ralph,it therefore looks to me as if Courage, who Jack always blamed, had nothing to do with the crash, that Jack was too busy watching out for Rindt to notice the 'mystery' driver in front of him !
You've got my attention with this. Having done a little research, I think it's a McLaren Ford. That would make it Denny Hulme, the last man not to be lapped. Do some digging yourself and let me know what you think!
Ralph, I think you've sussed it! Denny as you'll know came 4th, 1min 28 secs behind Rindt which puts him logically just in front of Jochen at the end and therefore having to do another lap, laps were in the 1 min 20s in that race. My only possible reservation is that Denny's car was no 11 and I can't make out the number on the film, and of course the Mclarens were a beautiful orange colour all over and the 'mystery' car's rear wing looks, on this black and white film, to be a different colour.
Point well made. The number is impossible to make out. But there's something odd about the way this black and white copy displays. As the car mystery car passes in foreground the wing indeed looks a different colour. The body of the car actually looks green! Head on approach it could be all one colour. There is another shot of the car at 0:37 which not only looks one colour, is that an impression of an 11 on the front roundel? Well, either way I have enjoyed this Hercule Poirot case. Thanks :)
Rindt was my hero.This was one amazing race. If I remember correctly with 7 laps to go Rindt was catching Brabham at almost 2 seconds a lap. I do believe it was the most sustained excitment I have ever experienced in front of a Television. Again if memory serves correctly Murray was doing the English commentary and nearly going hoarse with yelling. Funny thing is I remember seeing Brabham slide into the bales from behind, but perhaps that's time twisting the facts...Great Video, thanks.
How interesting. Maybe there were two feeds, this and the one we saw in England and Germany? Seems a bit advanced for 1970 but who knows? BTW I should have said above: 7 laps to go, Rindt 14 SECONDS BEHIND and catching at 2 seconds a lap!
I'm Norwegian and it was very funny to hear the commentator, he's still commentating (cross country/biathlon) today. I was a bit shocked to see that there were live(?) coverage from F1 as early as 1970 :-s
Jochen Rindt won in the Lotus 49,which was a 4year old car.The 49 debuted in 1967,and in 1970 it was well past its prime.True,Brabham would have won if not for running out of gas on the last lap.Happened twice to him in 1970.
Brabham did not run out of gas. He run off the road due to looking in his mirrors to see were Jochen Rindt was & suddenly there was Piers Courage in front of him. So Black Jack Brabham locked it up & run out of road, which allowed Jochen through for the win. Jack Brabham did run out of Gas whilst leading the 1970 British GP which allowed Jochen Rindt to win.
Do u know, that u can drive the original track on the PC Sim rFactor2? Search for videos on YT.
