"Its nothing like the car i drive nowadays. To know the commitment and to get used to driving this car on the limit, i just couldnt imagine it." -Lewis Hamilton

@deggis4 tank you for the explication, there is just a new chicane that did't change the principal characteristic, total acceleration in more than 80% of the circuit, that's why the oldies take advantage even without KERS, DRS....because of the brutal engines

Patrese certainly was a team player. I think he could have run closer to Mansell in several races, but was "asked" to help slow Senna a bit and keep a large gap to Nigel. Just my opinion of course, as I wasn't in the team meetings. That truly was the golden age of F1.

damn there is alot of skill involved in driving these cars.

@lapyramideparis0210 Ayrton Senna wasn't so good in starts. He was an anxious and agressive racer, so it wasn't so easy to control his own impulse.

[lapyramideparis0210]

Yes, Ayrton Senna certainly did jumpstart. Look at it carefully.

@Ch79ess Jackie Stewart said Lewis his the only person in the world who has Senna's thinking mentality, commitment and driving ability and if Senna was alive Lewis would give him a hard time in a similar car. Senna crashed more times than Hamilton in 1 season in 85 and he has done more stupid overtaking moves than Lewis Hamilton. The only reason why people hate Lewis is because he is embarrassing all the white people in their on sport. And when you see him making a mistakes it brings u joy.

The Williams car just had great acceleration

@DonCorsa Well spoken.

@TheUsmc1488 Totally agree. Lower aerodynamics, but increase the mechanical grip, doing wider but shorter cars, like in the 80's and none electronic aids, just a steering wheel without buttons and manual gear shift. With the turbo engine back, this combination would save the F1 and the sport as a all, adding value to the driver's abilities and human talent, not to the machine. That is all that really matters, the pilot's talent. Today's cars overshadow the work of the pilot.

@SennaRossiFan46 No, back then rules allowed the cars to roll the wheels until the green, but this does not necessary meant to be a jump start.

[TheUsmc1488]

I dont understand why the FIA wont create rules that mimic this era. Keep the safety, but bring back the manual H gate shifter, no carbon breaks, and let the drivers do the work.
