Your video is heavily biased against Prost. Again continue to proliferate the idea that Prost is a violent driver who resorts to questionable ways to ensure a win . Prost is the most COMPLETE F1 driver EVER!

There was also an even more awful accident in Watkins Glen in 1974 - Helmuth Koinigg

Utterly unremarkable drivers like Patrese and Boutsen getting consistently better cars than Brundle was odd at the time and odd in hindsight.

I was at Watkins Glen that weekend as a young teenager. We arrived at the track minutes after the accident had occurred. It was a very solemn weekend.

One day, in Cleveland, in 1996, I stopped at a booth where a lonely Mark Blundell was sitting to sign autographs. the crowd, largely ignorant of who this indy car driver was, didn't crowd around his booth like others, so I managed to spend some time talking to him, having been a Formula 1 fan since the end of the 1990 season. It was a good talk and we discussed Brundle as well as his time at Ligier. I specifically ask about the time he spun in 1993 and Senna and Michael Andretti broke right and left around him as they came out of rainy fog.

Doing violent sports results in violent deaths....open cockpits are daring the reaper.

Great video

Anybody who raced these open cockpit cars are crazy.

What’s happening with this channel? Brilliant content

Martin Brundle was a great asset to any team, but I always think Derek Warwick was the one who really could have taken titles if he had been picked up by one of the front runners.

F1 IS real. It's just less dangerous. A good thing. I live near the former property of John Surtees - look at the absolutely tragic death of his son Henry, just before the Halo was introduced.

I would have thought that Lorenzo Brandini being burned alve on TV was worse

I used to work in a restaurant in Cambridge in the late 90's, Martin and Mark Blundell were regulars. Always friendly and chatty, always kind and courteous. Both genuine gentlemen.

Anyone that doesn't understand that Jim Clark stands head and shoulders above ALL other racing drivers doesn't have a clue about car racing. Even Saint Senna went to Jim Clark's old school in 1989 to pay hommage to the man he himself described as the greatest of all time. So any ignorant types out there, if Saint Senna himself said he wasnt a patch on Jim Ckark- take him on his word.

21:50 is the chassis snapped in half in that pic? 😮

Brundle was always in the wrong car at wrong time. Luck of the draw.

There is a great Senna mini series on Netflix that has an episode that brielfy covers the Brundle/Senna rivalry - definitely worth a look for anyone who enjoyed Rush

Beautifully and respectfully told the story of these trail blazers. Thank you.

this is very one sided, no multiperspectivity like the Senna documentary and TV-Show just black and white. Prost heel and Senna babyface, no shades of grey. The truth is, Prost isnt the bad guy. Both, Prost and Senna, had their dark sides and demons in this rivalry.

When Prost went from Ferrari to Williams Senna called him (( coward)) Then after 1 year Senna did the same!!! Acording to Senna he was not a ((coward))???

Sena always have better engines!!! I remember u was in Germany and Prost was asked How you can say that Sena have better car While you have pol position! Prost replay's if you lock on all the curves I was faster then Sena But in the strait his car is 8 km/h faster then me!!! If Sena was so Goooood like you claim Why he can't beat Schumacher with a car that win 4 world titles in a row? And Schumacher was a Less experienced and inferior car? Yes Sena was good but u can't says he is the Greatest!!!!

Well told account , both respectful and poignant 👏

Piquet and Prost always got on well, lazy bit there

His sense of humour is almost as good as his f1 career

Because everyone around him was faster or favored his teammate over him.

Biased anglo-saxons. If it wasn't for Prost who held veto but choose Senna, Senna wouldn't have set a foot in Mc Laren. Then, McLaren were cheating favouring Senna therefore Prost told them he wouldn't 'open the door' righteously so. Don't blame Prost, blame McLaren who had by that time won World Championships thanks to Prost and his expertise which in those days was not in computers.

We live in Ontario Canada. When we moved 4 years ago we met our new neighbours. Unfortunately, the wife died just over a year ago in her early 70s. We just found out, after just chatting about watching the 2024 season with her husband, that his late wife, who he didn’t know in 1973 & was 20 years old at the time, & was going to Cordon Bleu Chef School in France, met & became engaged to Cevert back then. Small world & such a sad story.

He was absolutely stunning!

F1 driver with best looks and charisma I have ever seen. So sad his life was cut short...

What are drivers watching on small screens from cockpit...other qualifing times?

I really like this video. What i absolutely cant wrap my head around is engine cost. Are they made outta freakin blood diamonds?! U can build a almost 12,000-hp nitro engine for $150K-$200K!!!

Tom Pyrce was also horrifying and Gilles Villenueve and Greg Smiley too.

This was a touchingly beautiful tribute of a highly talented young racing driver, whom suffered a tragic, grotesquely horrific death! The complete absence of safety and adequate medical care at racing circuits, despite the huge sums of money in industry led to drivers dying in the most horrific ways imaginable! Frequently! Sir Jackie Stewart's relentless campaigning for improved circuit and driver safety, proper emergency medical services on site and greater awareness of the issues forevermore changed the racing industry.

Norfolk legend

Great presentation. Going to enjoy running through the older videos. Nicely done.

Brundle being an F1 commentator is the only reason this video is made. His driving career is forgettable, and only isn't bc he is a commentator. He's Romain Grosjean

I was there at the moment this young men died, sadly I will never forget it - I saw his helmet bounced off, my husband then told me the horrific truth !😢

Well if the accusation in the Senna series is true, the it is clear why he appeared so fast but turned out to be a dud... he cheated in formula three. If you have the engine for the next year's series in a spec series then you have a big advantage. Him cheating would explain everything. Hell if a crap driver is given an car that has more hp than all the others they will look like a great driver too.

Helmut koenig, Watkins Glen, 1974. Went backwards into the Armco at the anvil hairpin, the bottom broke, the top didn't. Decapitated. They covered the car and driver with a tarp and just continued racing, no announcement. I was there.

No wonder he stammers and stutters his way thru his commentary these days! Being hit in the head by a stray wheel, as well as landing on it in multiple serious accidents. Not to mention almost losing a foot!? Racing was brutal back then. Now it's overly policed by FIA rules and obvious corruption. I never knew his history in the sport was so competitive, yet hindered by severe injury. Commands my respect. Now it's off to find out why Karun is such a know-it-all gimp!

cant listen to this voice

Cause he cheated in F3 to be fast?

I was not there

I unfortunately was there at The Glen when Cevert was killed. I had been to 2 previous F1 races at Waktins Glen. It was the fall and the leaves and trees were so colorful and the air was perfect fall weather. On the day Cevert died my friend and I were at the other side of the circuit. The cars raced by in practice, but then no more cars were coming through. My friend and I didn't think it was a big deal. But then word of mouth reached us that Cevert was killed. I remember that everybody was dazed and didn't know what to make of it. When the race started we didn't see Sir Jackie. We knew he had already won the Championship and we wanted to see him in his 100th race. Not to be. When we got back home we learned what had happened. A bit later we learned that he was retiring. Sadly we realized it was the last time Sir Jackie would ever put on his Tartan helmet and drive an F1. Stewart wrote a book called “Faster”. A great read and a history of F1 in the late 60's and early 70's.

When machines were beasts to be tamed, not a safe cages that asks for your pronouns. The Epitome of it all was when Senna won a race where everyone had the same mercedes. No assist, no tech, only ability

Totally agree. The skill of the driver has almost been totally removed and as you say they are like a bunch of whiney kids. I wish they would bring back manual gearboxes for one. Although I will admit that some of the tech advances have made cars so much safer. I was such an F1 fan back in the late 80s early 90s. Now it's just a parade.

I watched the Stewart documentary and I had to know more about cevert

Very true what you say about '94... if Brundle had got the nod at Williams for '93 and think he would have challenged Prost more, but not won... however in '94 if Senna still dies I think Brundle might have beaten Schumacher. Not saying Brundle was better than Hill over their careers, but at that time Brundle would have done a better job (and you had to do a slightly better job).

As much as you want to defend Prost, he was given races and championships, and as well as Michael, those kind of help and dirty political tactics damage their reputation and their badges as legends.

I have to say that as an American, Manzell was damn impressive while racing in CART.
