Clay Regazzoni - a racer of the purest kind - derserves that win so much. It was so unfair how the old man Enzo Ferrari treated him at the Ende of the 1976 season..Lauda & Regazzoni was a superb team for three years at the Scuderia - In the 312 B3 during the 1974 season and then in the two stuuning T-Models in 1975 the 312 T1 and in 1976 the 312T2. All designed by the great Mauro Forghieri.
16:20 Nelson Piquet. in the red car in fourth place, almost loses the car coming out of the chicane. He slowed down for several laps. IU remember Piquet during these years. The guy was insane behind the wheel. It was beautiful to watch him drive the wheels off these cars.
Thanks for the great video. Here is Australia we didn't get to see any F1 GP races prior to 1980. Alan Jones is basically responsible for generating interest in F1 in Australia to the point where one of the large commercial FTA TV Networks finally decided to start broadcasting F1 races in 1980. But even then, we only got to see a few of the races ... never say any Qualifying sessions or any of the Pre Race programs. And we only got to see Podium Presentations on a few rare occasions. The races although advertised as being "Live" were rarely if ever live. We had to wait for the Sunday Night Movie to finish before we got to see the coverage. Usually meant we were watching delayed coverage anywhere from 30 minutes to 45 minutes after the actual start. Never mind, that was better than nothing. Again, credit to Alan Jones 1980 F1 WDC. He won the first F1 WDC Title for Williams Racing. Williams Racing also won its first F1 WCC Title that season. No wonder, the great Sir Frank Williams loved him. And Thanks to AJ's success in F1, Australia finally got an F1 Grand Prix of it's own in 1985 which continues to this day and will do so for many years to come. Hopefully Oscar Piastri can be the next Australian F1 WDC Champion.
I think not many people remember which team took their first EVER F1 victory in this race. I want to see that team rack up those results, not rack up their damage bills
That was Elio de Angelis, starting 12th in the Shadow. He finished the race in 11th place, but was bumped down to 12th after receiving a one-minute penalty for jumping the start.
29:21 Murray talking about Alan Jones winning the Can Am championship in '78. Thats one racing faction that needs to come back. But i doubt it will with how soft as a whole everyone is. Can Am was big balls, hairy chested, V8 powered manly racing. Those cars will never be topped.
If I understood the end of this race correctly, 3rd place finished 2 laps down? At least 1 lap down. That being a common occurrence today would have everyone who shouts about how much better racing used to be, throwing a weekly fit abot bias and conspiratorial race fixing.
That happened a lot mainly because the cars were not very reliable in those days. And that was mainly because the cars in different teams were so different mechanically and technically to each other. Also, no Safety Cars in those days. And Red Flags were extremely rare too. Modern F1 racing has focused on levelling the playing field so that we end up with closer racing. These days, the emphasis is primarily focused on Entertainment rather than pure sport.
They have fixed the unreliability of the cars but most retirements these days are driver error. The squidgy organic bit in the middle has become less reliable!
@@fboness368 Not surprised - he and I come from the same Scottish town. He's been banging on about his reading difficulties for year, I reckon he compensates for it by talking too much.
Honestly. Stunning commentary and race production for 1979.
Also, that was some serious commitment from Jabouille down the Hangar Straight on lap 1.
First thing that struck me...this video is pristine, audio and video. Good ol days for sure. I can watch old F1 all day.....and have.😅
Jackie Stewart and James Hunt!! Beautiful people...
James Hunt had a great voice for the commentary
Dude was the coolest. Just gold. Told it straight. And dressed up for tv...lol. White, raggedy tshirt, and zero Fs given..lol. 😅. Loved em

Starts from this era and even by the late 80s crack me up. Some people just set off whenever they feel like it.
I know. That black car at about tenth just flew about half a second before the lights
@@nigelsouthworth5577 Black? It's the Ferrari of Villeneuve...
The Williams FW07 man... I have never seen such a forgotten yet beautiful car in my life
We (Ferrari Tifosi) were lucky it wasn't ready by the beginning of 1979 season
Great upload, quite a treat. Thanks dude. Subbed.

Than you for sharing, what a blast..Jackie Stewart as a commentator..Made my day
Thanks for the look at my past, please carry on the great work 🎉😂
Alan Jones in the Williams was amazing in practice and deserved to win
Thank You for this upload. Those races are terrific!

My first GP at Silverstone and a great trip.

So this was James Hunt commentary debut. Maybe suit and tie, smart casual? no jeans and a t shirt 😅
Alan Jones the original LION of F1.🦁
Jones had that Williams set up perfectly.
you have 1966-1972 races too ?
Gilles Villeneuve maybe loose f1 Championship in that race.
Wow, how slow were pitstops back then.
14:53 start
TREMENDOUS.....!!!!!
F1 history
The best race commentators ever, James Hunt and Murray Walker. The latest commentators are so lame. Coulthard wasn't the best driver to start with.
Who was the one in the black car making the insanely obvious jump start?
Nobody cared. I often watch the Monza start for the Petersen crash. Basically a rolling start
Wonder if it was Scheckter, looks like a Ferrari.
That was Elio de Angelis, starting 12th in the Shadow. He finished the race in 11th place, but was bumped down to 12th after receiving a one-minute penalty for jumping the start.
Abbey was such a balls-out corner back then.
When you upload French GP 1999 aka broken leg victory?
Have you got the fan car race?
29:21 Murray talking about Alan Jones winning the Can Am championship in '78. Thats one racing faction that needs to come back. But i doubt it will with how soft as a whole everyone is. Can Am was big balls, hairy chested, V8 powered manly racing. Those cars will never be topped.
why would you come in with 5 laps to go to change tyres? You're not going to make up the time you lose in the pits.
Oh i miss this old f1...Modern f1 is so boring...and far from ordinary people. Thanx sharing this
The day Wanker Williams started to be taken seriously.
Who are you to call Frank Williams a wanker? What a loser you clearly are.
4-wheel drifts at 150. insane talent to drive these things.
If I understood the end of this race correctly, 3rd place finished 2 laps down? At least 1 lap down. That being a common occurrence today would have everyone who shouts about how much better racing used to be, throwing a weekly fit abot bias and conspiratorial race fixing.

The most advanced racing looks so primitive compared to today's F 1 . Will it look the same in 20 years.
This was 45 years ago, I remember watching these races live. LoL.
When Silverstone was a real racetrack for men.
They have fixed the unreliability of the cars but most retirements these days are driver error. The squidgy organic bit in the middle has become less reliable!
That's rubbish lol
Drivers very rarely spin out of races and retire on their own these days which used to happen all the time in the 70s, 80s, 90s.
✌️🤠💥🌟🌀🙏
Jackie Stewart is far too loquacious - uses 100 words when ten would suffice.
I think that is something that he acquired from his time commentating in the US
He was used by ABC to provide "colour" to Indy 500 broadcasts
You should see the documentary on Jackie streaming online. You might be very surprised that he never learned to read until he was in his 40s.
@@fboness368 Not surprised - he and I come from the same Scottish town. He's been banging on about his reading difficulties for year, I reckon he compensates for it by talking too much.
Take me back to the era before woke and all of todays BS.
Great upload Someone standing at the apex of Stowe (?) Corner ! that's the 70s for you were 'woke' was something to do with your alarm clock
Just the enjoy the classic racing, old man. No need to bring your weird political obsessions into a completely unrelated video lol
This type of comment always sound like a parody for me lol some of these boomers are such snowflakes got to bring politics to everything
Shame nelson only lasted about 3 corners after all that build up. I guess the alfa would have exploded anyway
@@quietbatpersonthey can't help it, it's borderline brain damage. Ask him to elaborate & he'll be lost for words.
