What a overtaking by Senna, in the pouring rain! And it's the first time Monaco in rain for him! It is such a shame he is not with us anymore:-(

@schopfheim91 : it was relatively easier for him : he was driving a normal aspirated engined car !
-
what was with the, like, double wings on these cars?
-
Bellof THE BEST !!!
-
Bellof's result may have been erased by the FIA, but his performance will never be erased from formula one's history. An example of pure driving artistry by Formula One's greatest lost talent!
-
@schopfheim91 - the Hart engine had a great reputation at the time for its' good throttle response. Due to the lack of funding Brian Hart was never able to get the same top-end power as Porsche, BMW or Honda, his skill however came through in drivability.

@schopfheim91 The rip uses the BBC's Grand Prix as a basis... Grand Prix was part of a sports afternoon magazine show called Grandstand, hosted by Des Lynam, and they would switch between various live sports. With F1 they tended to fade to other stuff when it seemed like nothing was happening, though of course it was always the cue for the leader to spin off or the greatest overtake of all time or something.

@schopfheim91 - IIRC there was no proof the car was even the FIA's flimsy definition of illegal in Monaco; the Tyrrell disqualification was based entirely on Brundle's car in Detroit. One thing I don't miss about 1980s F1 was the political rubbish...

@schopfheim91 you deserve a medal for posting this terrific race

@villy27 Both drivers were amazing young talent. Bellof was cut short of ever having a chance to make a big name for himself in Formula 1. It seems sad, really, that Senna and Bellof could not compete in Formula 1 for years. It would have been some of the greatest racing of all time. Tyrrell bickering notwithstanding, a 6:11 'ring time in a Porsche 956 is immense talent and it's a shame F1 lost them both. The world misses Senna and Bellof.

was the video and audio matched up seperately? judging by japanese and the announcement around 1:15, i would guess that is the case.
In these conditions Senna has better car than Prost. Becoause , To keep Turbo cars on wet track is much more dificult than DFV'S ... You saw how fast he overtake Prost, just in the midle of the stright.

Senna had a Hart turbo engine.

Senna was closing Prost at about 4 secs a lap, he is the all time best driver in my opinion.
The Tyrrell team's (Bellof's team) results were erased later in the season due to weight infringements.
So in other words Bellof cheated!!!

No, Bellof did not cheat, but his team did. That's a difference. And Bellof's performance was still great, from 20th to third and he would have finished second at least!

what happened in 1.00 ?

I have absolutely no doubt about that. But as I said in part 1, coverage is a bit weird sometimes.
