Now here is an onboard lap with Damon Hill in his Arrows-Yamaha during the last free practice session of the weekend. Another onboard with Coulthard will follow. If you have requests, feel free to ask and I will do my best to fulfill your requests.

All of my clips have been taken from my DVDs, there will be a lot of more stuff soon. If you are interested in F1 DVDs, send me a message.

  • @blainyrules Unreliable too, and Walkinshaw's management was also dubious (witness the Australia 2002 debacle and the mid-season collapse of TWR companies). In spite of that, 1 pt in 1996 v 9 pts in 1997 heralded a drastic improvement.

  • Coulthard wasted the second McLaren seat for years, if anyone deserves ire for cruising in a good car it's him not DH.

  • Damon was on for pole that weekend, but a yellow flag in the last corner cost him and he ended up 4th.

  • @Gigidag77 It could've been though, I remember seeing somewhere that Martin Brundle said after testing each car, amazingly the best handling cars were the Arrows and the Benetton. So maybe with the Mugen engine that Arrows were supposed to get, it probably would've been much more competitive, seeing the the Yamaha engine was a full 100BHP down on the Mercedes engine.

  • That Arrows looked FANTASTIC !, even if it wasn't on a competitive basis

  • @DC322 Yeah and did a hell of a lot better than at Arrows too. Then again the A18 wasn't exactly the most reliable of cars, and Belgium '98 was a bit of a fluke...

  • @blainyrules Hill eventually went to Jordan the next year.

  • @CHABBO Because Damon asked someone to ask Frank Williams for a pay rise, Frank thought it was an insult that Damon didn't ask himself so he left Williams in 1996. Apparently though he could have gone to either Jordan or McLaren instead of Arrows.

  • @CHABBO money?? :D

  • Possibly with a better engine, he could have done a lot more with the car in '97
