F1 Clips

[steveaki13]

Now let me say first off. I know some won't be interested in this thread and some may see it as pointless, but I was watching some old F1 clips and it was bringing a smile to my face about the old days.

So I thought it would be good to have a thread where us F1 fans can post any old videos, clips or photos of F1 for others to see that they may not have come across or seen for a few years. As i often look at stuff from 90-91 onwards as that was when I started watching F1.

Feel free to move this thread if any mods feel it should be elsewhere, but I wasn't sure if it should be here or history???


Now this is for any age of F1. So if you watch a video from 2002 and it brings back memories put it on, likewise if you find some rare footage from the 50s whatever.

Just a thread for F1 action videos for fun.

I'll start with the video that inspired me. The backmarker Minardi in 2001 lapping the old Hockenheim. Bliss

The guy who put this on has a lot of Quali laps from 2001. Nice to see the old cars again.

Not the place to discuss it, but the non DRS days. I love it. The old Jordan Honda v BAR Honda battle.

[steveaki13]

Also we were talking about race bans.

This was one of the last before Grosjean for bad driving wasn't it. Irvine for this move.

Oh is 2001 ancient history already? I remember it so clearly like it was recent. *feels old* :(

In relation to discussion on other thread.

Gaston Mazzacane, some great onboard from Spa 2000. That Minardi was a good car, I think it just suffered from a poor engine. He is so tentative with the car when compared to the top cars today.

@ aki13

Good thread and I like the idea that it is in the main F1 discussion board rather than the History board (nothing wrong with the History board, I lurk there a lot), and I have a question for anyone with an answer - what motor was the Minardi running at Hockenheim in the first clip?

Its a shame that they dont use the old Hockeneimring, it was a fantastic circuit and fast as. Many memorable moments on both four and two wheels (Piquet and Salazar, Swantz and Rainey for two examples).

[rjbetty]

Hmmm it seems that the above comment is a reference to me. I've noticed quite a few people have been having a problem with me thinking that events of 18 years ago went under History rather than current F1.

The Minardi 2001 was called a "European" but as far as I know it was the same Ford that they ran the year before - the old works 1998 engine that Stewart (Red Bull) used. I think it had 745hp, almost 100 down on the BMW that year. It wasn't known to be very light either...

Yeah I miss the old Hockenheim too, as it had character, and it was something a bit DIFFERENT! Also, there no traces of Tilke on it, though he did build the new section. I think the new track is quite good for one of his. It's sad that the old track has been dug up and now it's all just grass surrounded by trees.

[steveaki13]

A couple of rare bits of footage here. The Forti Ford was maybe the slowest car to regularly race in the last 30 years, due to the lack of Pre Qualifying and 107% rule. Some clips of Moreno struggling on.

These videos are great. This is too good a thread to let go of so quickly! :D

Please keep posting more Doc and Aki13. This is good stuff.

@aki13 I can hardly believe how slow those Fortis are going in the Forti vids. It can't be real! It's painful just to watch; I honestly believed they were on an outlap and didn't realise they were hotlaps!!

@Doc Oh that life of a driver vid, hahaha! And to think of how much these drivers moan, about understeer and balance (mentioning no names) and about being left alone on the radio etc :p

[Tazio]

An exciting race for a track known for real snoozers. Mike had to make up something like 12 seconds in a 15 lap 3rd stop short fill to make the 4 stopper work. It was classic Schumacher, on the limit every lap that stint, he pulled it off with time to spare. Actually great action and a great final 1/3 of the race by Rubens, passing Button on track and Trulli at the last turn of the last lap.
Actually the 4 stop strategy was conceived by Luca Baldesari after qualifying, with the knowledge that Mike may not be able to pass on track at Magney-Coor, but Brawn made the call.
"We had nothing to lose," said Ross Brawn. "There was no risk because we were stuck in second and it would have been difficult to overtake. We needed to run in free air and to be able to use the car."Skip to 85:00

It already seems strange to me to see Michael and Ross Brawn being so dominant, even though I watched all those races at the time. It seems incredible that guy with the red helmet who won so much is the same one who has struggled so much with Mercedes recently (actually not done badly at all, but disguised by bad car...).

I've also got to say I enjoy James Allen's commentary much more now than then too...

[rjbetty]

Thanks

No prob :)

Here's one that was painful to watch - it was horrible, to sit and watch helplessly as this happened... :(
It was yet another inherited victory for Villeneuve which he just totally took for granted with his attitude, like every single victory of 1997, it was inherited. Hungary went with Argentina (Panis), Spain (Panis being held up badly), Silverstone (Schumacher and Hakkinen's mechanical problems), Austria (Trulli had engine problems thru race, eventually terminal, and Hakkinen went out on lap 1 from strong lead), and the Nurburgring (another galling breakdown for Coulthard and Hakkinen yet again - simultaneously!!)


Damon Hill Hungary 1997
Damon Hill wins almost Hungaroring 1997 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adZD6xAFM0U)

I can't find a video in English, or with Tom Walkinshaw's reaction, which was heartbreaking, even though as Hill supporters we didn't like how he had been shouting at Damon in 1997 etc. In hindsight I think Damon totally deserved it: If I was diverting a huge amount of budget to a driver who demanded a massive pay because he was world champion (taking ALL the credit for Adrian Neweys' car which is the only reason he had a chance!) and that driver just tooled around not making an effort and being beaten by Diniz, I would be pretty ticked off too!

This was the 3rd race in a row that a famous 'first ever' victory was denied by unreliability. For me this really added to the story and the human side of the sport. When Hakkinen would finally win a race, it would be all the sweeter for him having missed out so much at Silverstone, Austria and the Nurburgring. It was more the fact that Fisichella retired with a puncture with a few laps to go at Hockenheim, than the almost winning drive itself, that inspired me to become his fan that day.

This 'human' side is now sadly missing as F1 is now like the XBox where all the front running cars are expected to finish, and it is unusual to have a retirement.

[Tazio]

I've also got to say I enjoy James Allen's commentary much more now than then too...

At that time I wasn't watching the races live via proxy from the UK. My only reference was the U.S. broadcast that was absolutely transfixed with counting down until Mike had reached the pit stop delta time on his third stint. After finding this broadcast I was so impressed as McLaren and Williams were really upon hard times, and Ferrari was so dominant that this broadcast went into depth about what made Ferrari tic, and really highlighted many personnel including in-race commentary from Luca Colliani (I probably spelled that wrong). I have to say it was a top notch job, and extremely informative, with meaningful interviews with not only Todt, Brawn, and Mike, but several other key players for Ferrari. It was probably hard for some UK viewers to appreciate, not even considering the ones that had tuned the season out, but real F1 enthusiast's were treated to an orgy of motorsport broadcast brilliance.

Brings back memories. Damon Hill was probably one of the most underestimated Grand Prix drivers of all time. Not the fastest but as a whole package...

[rjbetty]

Yah you're probably right actually. I think I was a bit harsh above. Maybe not with his application in '97 but his talent in general. I hear Damon only started driving at 24 or something! WOW! In that case, he did really well; especially considering he was already around retirement age when he won the title. It's a shame that in later years he didn't always seem to be making an effort all the time.

But Bruno Senna is now showing how tough it is to miss a massive chunk of learning in karts. I believe Damon when he said he thinks it puts you at a distinct disadvantage - in fact I imagine it's even more of a disadvantage than that! This is maybe why Eddie Irvine thought he was the 2nd best driver going - because he was doing everything he did minus a decade or 2 of karting experience that his rivals had.

Damon also ran strongly in Brazil (on for 6th) and pretty well in Argentina. He especially shone at Jerez where he was on course to be on pole before hitting traffic. He started 4th, just +0.058sec off those 3 with the identical time.

[RS]

Yes, it is a shame how Damon's career petered out, especially at Jordan. But I don't think you can put a car like an Arrows in those positions just with good tyres. The car went from the back of the grid at the start of the season to nearly winning a race and then later nearly a pole position within the space of one year. One year later Damon moves to Jordan and they win their first race, coincidence?

That was truly brutal as hell, and all other things being equal without that failure at the end of an otherwise brilliant drive, it would have (arguably) changed the outcome of the WDC. :angel:

No, no coincidence. As you say Damon was very under-rated (and should have been a double world champion), perhaps due to the family name and the relative lack of junior formula time.

Pretty much like Jenson, they are more typical of British drivers in style than Lewis (ie Hill, Stewart, Clark, Moss.......)

I am trying to tone up my knowledge of F1 pre 1990 which is when I have roughly watched from. I know more than the casual fan, like us all here do but I feel I want a complete F1 picture so I have been looking at the 1950 season and watching highlights of the 1950 season.

The cars look fantastic. I just get the feeling of wanting to have a go in one.

The Talbot Lago's were slow, but look great.

As I go through the seasons, I may post some more that intrigue me.

The legendary first few laps at Donnington 1993. Worth seeing again as we remember the 20 years since his death.

Race starts at 3 minutes after formation lap. To go from 5th at turn 1 to leading at the end of lap 1 and then to pull away from the almighty Williams 10 odd seconds in the next 2 laps is amazing.
