This video is still a work in progress, so let me know what you guys think of it so far. **Note** : The footage that says Jacarepagua 82 is actually from 83.
Sad thing is that back in the day, Keke had to phone in the results of the race to Finnish sports anchors.. if they decided to pick up the call. Which is one of the reasons Nico raced under german flag.
Was struggling to remember if we had live feeds of the races back then. That sounds about right, it was probably the next day´s newspaper I found out Keke was the champion in 82. That doesn´t quite leave an imprint into memory such as seeing something live. And utterly correct move by Keke to keep family far from finland btw.
I could be wrong but imo Senna and Keke were the fastest drivers of the 80's hands down. And Keke was the most imposing too which could be paradoxical but not in this case. :D :D :D
When people chide me for trashing post-2008 F1 I should show them this video. Keke stayed on top-form through the most tumultuous era of F1 development when Turbos and Ground effects/side skirts were key, and he was one of the drivers that mastered the element of overtaking in a slower car. Now the cars are so heavy, so aero-sensitive, and so long that you need DRS to even consider a move, either that or a car that's a second and a half faster around a wide circuit. Nearly all the 'skill' in modern F1 is reliant just on tyre management and silly DRS shenanigans, and in turn we've come to the point that we've lost nearly an entire generation worth of actual talent and skill. Alonso and to a lesser extent Hamilton are the only holdouts from an era where you could really push for actual overtakes with good cars, and even the later never truly got the time to hone that skill considering the cars made it irrelevant by the time 2010 started up. I don't know if Keke, or someone with the same sort level of talent like Emmo or Lauda, could still showcase their skill in the post-2008 overweight aero-driven shitboxes. Keke was a master of utilizing draft and darting with late breaking to make overtakes on faster cars, nowadays DRS would mean that one guy is either 5 meters ahead by the time they reach the breaking zone, or they're side-by-side and the darting under breaking would cause the tires to lock up and have to abort the corner.
True! I am no fan of Monaco to be honest. Besides the great track layout, the immense concentration, drivers must maintain and of course, the historical aspect, the track does not produce exciting races. But when it comes to Monaco I always think of Keke, back in 1983. Everyone was excited to see how the two Slik drivers, Keke and Jaques, would be doing. Laffite unfortunately retired. Keke drove in absolutely outstanding form and literally vanished in front of the others as soon as he was leading the race. Imo, one of the greatest races ever! Unfortunately to often ignored when it comes to great drives. Same here!
good vid, but you'Ve missed Keke's best race - the 1983 Monaco Grand Prix. Starting in damp conditions, he was the only top-runner on slicks, he started from 6th place on the grid and was 3rd in St. Devote. He led after a couple of laps. For me, a race similar to Ayrton Senna's performance 1993 in Donington.
The same as always. How much we can save money before people start dying? Too strict standards aren't good either, but they definitely have their place. Especially in motor sports.
@iknowwhereyoulive006 Nothing to apologize for. To me, 1983 was Keke's best year. Especially the race in Brazil, where his car caught fire during refuelling - he lost 70 seconds in the pits. Ho got back into the car after the fire was out and stormed from 7th(!) to 2nd(!) in the second half of the race. Unfortunately he got disqualified for being push-started after his pitstop. With these six points, he would have been championship leader throughout the first half of the year....
Where is the footage of the 1985 US Grand Prix? One of the most spectacular overtakes in the history of F1. Maybe the makers of this compilation were too young to remember. If you are going to make videos about auto racing you should have a little knowledge.
@iknowwhereyoulive006 I beg your pardon, but you are wrong. In his world championship year, Keke won only one race - the Swiss Grand Prix at Dijon. His Monaco win in damp conditions was in 1983 as I wrote. Riccardo Patrese won in Monaco 1982. Just type in here on TH-cam "1982 Monaco last laps" and you'll find the most thrilling finale of a Formula 1 race you can imagine.
Keke was one of the most entertaining drivers ever. Always on attack, searching for and finding gap and space to get ahead. A true racer.

This is racing.
One of my 80s favorite & cool 😎 drivers
1:45 Rosberg v Villeneuve on the straight; James Hunt "can he outdrag him". This is what I clicked for.
Great stuff, don’t forget he won at Detroit and Adelaide in 1985, and drove his last season in 1986 for the Mclaren team.

Great historic video. Dave Matthews Band "Two step" crowns it. Keke was a bad ass old school driver.
Missed Keke's greatest win, 1983 Monaco

Corre corre Keke Rosberg🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow Villeneuve vs Rosberg was incredible...
Brilliant compilation - thanks!!
Great video! Thanks! You don't see this stuff in F1 these days.
The Streetfighter!
Corre Keke corre🎉🎉🎉
"..and he's off! There's a barbed wire fence behind them."
What the heck were these people thinking back in the day?! Barbed wire..

There is no Swiss GP and Dijon is in France.
@@jayjameson1250 read it up on wikipedia. in 1982, there was an (exterritorial) Swiss Grand Prix held at Dijon.
I accept the fact but would not consider Wikipedia a very credible authority on Formula One history.
@@profpainter5841 okay, go to the F1 homepage, there‘s the same information available.
Thru the sheep paddock and into a barb wire fence. BWAhahahaha🤣
anche, keke, rosberg, pilota, tosto, veloce
