Brilliant! Take away the computers, traction control, launch control and all the other aids. Driver against driver not software against software. F1 has forgotten it's meant to be entertaining.

This was real deal back then. Car bouncing and vibrating, it was a lot tougher those days than it is now.

[aimalkhan123]

didnt the car on pole jump the start ?

[june372]

Was there an additional chicane before the straight after the tight hairpin and before the wall of champions?

@gmiky

yes he was...

@AJ1964

true, but don't forget the difference between a micro camera back then and a micro camera now. What i want to say is that in modern F1, video technology and cameras are definitely producing a much more steady image and clearer onboard footage that makes the whole thing look so easy. But the vibrations are there, even if not so much as in the past.

@gmiky also in those days when you popped the car into 1st gear it always made the car jump forward. these gentlemen could trust each other. these days they cannot they are just boys and not MEN.

These men were heroes, manual shift please... In curves, this requires more balls than just pushing a button...

Both drivers can be proud of what they have achieved. Truly iconic F1 drivers that even new F1 drivers look up to and aspire to be like.

And the Williams on grid 1 moved a lot more. :)

[gmiky]

And Senna was also moving a bit.

[gmiky]

The Williams on grid 1 is the first to start.

But at those days, the jump start rule wasn't as strict as today. Just see starts from those days. It was common to move a bit before the green light. Nothing special.

Althought it is strange to see today,
