Patrick Depailler at Montreal in the rain onboard. A little better quality then the other ones here. One of my most favorite pieces of racing footage :)
No ABS, no TCS, no sequential shifting gearboxes, no gear indicators, next to no cockpit safety, raced under even worse weather conditions. These are legends of F1. Dancing in the rain, Patrick Depailler RIP.
There's neither ABS nor TCS in the actual F1 cars, which are much faster and as difficult to drive in the rain. They got 8 now gears which can be downshifted up to 5-6 gears in a split second hence the indicator. As for safety and wet conditions, would you like to bring back the days where pilots were dying for fun? Plonker.
@@lethalchocobo1886 I was making a comment on how dangerous the sport was in that time where there was almost no safety. I never said this should come back or that modern F1 isn't dangerous. Any pro motorsport is dangerous. Driving anywhere is dangerous. So don't just assume something and write a passive aggressive comment comparing modern F1 to F1 40 years ago. It was a different time. Back then Safety was not as big of a thing as ot is now but there also was not really as much understanding of high speed impact safety devices hence why at one point drivers wore goggles in a magnesium deathtrap 70 years ago. Think of Antoine Huberts F2 crash at Eau Rouge last year. My personal opinion not that it matters here: Vintage F1 is romantic and wild but time goes on and things develop and now we are here with Lewis Hamilton or Vettel racing the fastest cars on the planet and on some of the same circuits as Patrick Depailler like Monaco, Monza, Hockenheim...both F1 past and present would be awesome to watch but yes it is better if the sport does not have to lose their competitors due to safety problems. Modern F1 is a lot safer than the past but it is still very dangerous and people still do die but that is the risk a racing driver takes too. You call me a plonker for wanting f1 to be like this but you didn't actually realize the format of my comment. I was glorifying how F1 racers raced in terrible safety conditions and never was ever comparing it to modern F1 and I never said modern F1 wasn't dangerous either so your comment comes off as a blank passive aggressive statement. Whatever floats your F1 car pal.
Connor MacLeod fuck f1 nowadays. Cars look shitty as hell and it must require no skill. Look at this car control going sideways and now there just steering. Whack
He and Elio de Angelis are probably the two most underrated drivers in f1 history,both only won 2 gp each but they were constantly in the top 10 and drove their cars in a spectacular fashion,RIP to both.
so sad Depailler always had dogshit cars, and when he got the chance to win a championship he suffered that stupid accident with his hang-glider and Tyrell kicked him... to once again, race with a bad car that even ended up killing him at the end
@@100hobbes It was Ligier that booted him in 1979, not Tyrrell. I always had a soft spot for Ligier but their treatment of Depailler will always be a black mark against them. Absolutely no sympathy especially considering it was looking at one point like he might have been wheelchair bound. The 1978 Tyrrell was a good chance for the championship at the start of the season. Coming out of Monaco he was leading the world championship, but then Lotus redefined the game with the 79 and his chance was gone. Such a shame because he was driving brilliantly.
An ARTIST! What confidence, control and sensitivity shown in relation to the conditions, the car and every fiber of his being. This is a thing of great beauty and spirit.
James Hunt once said this about Depailler: "Patrick Depailler ... well, I've no doubt that he had a death wish. Very pleasant bloke but I always thought he was barking mad... Why? Look at the way he lived his life," James said. "Riding motorbikes without a helmet, that sort of thing. Depailler seemed to need to find risk in everything."
The man distroyed his left leg in an enduro motorcycle race just before he started with Tyrell. Won 1GP with Tyrell in Monaco. Then he crashed and broke his 2 legs flying a delta wing just after he started with Ligier and Ligier fired him. Won 1 GP with Ligier in Spain. Then he found a job at Alfa Romeo and finally died in F1 practice. Smoked a pack of unfiltered Gitanes everyday... Old school pilot, old school man !!
Driving on a mirror-shine surface. You can practically read the inverted advertisements reflected on the road surface. Very similar to driving on ice. Absolutely phenomenal car control. What a masterclass.
My favourite lap on wet track ever! The track surface like a mirror but nobody complaining, just driving as faster as possible! 1:44 - 1:48: FOUR seconds of power sliding!!!

Patrick was in the same mold as Gilles. Both had an innocence about them, and as one can plainly see in the video, drove for fun more than the glory of the podium. Unthinkable for such heroes to be present in modern, pure money business that F1 has become.. Shame..
Unbelievable driving technique. With full throttle to the point where the engine screams in every gear, why doesn't the car spin out? After 3:50, the car is going straight with full counter steering!? It feels like watching the video game "Mario Kart". Patrick Dupailler is not a well-known driver in Japan today, but Toru Ikusawa, a Japanese driver who competed in European F2 at the same time and has experience against him, said, "His skill is like a miracle. ” was evaluated.
He was a great driver - every video of him giving it maximum beans as in this one. Love the bits in this where it breaks away and he still keeps his foot in!. Can't beat that DFV sound either - shame modern F1 engines don't sound this good.
@@erebousde film has a huge quality, you just can't imagine the quality of a good film camera (IMAX) but nowadays images we are getting are limited one, FIA don't want to spread free images or videos on web
Brand new asphalt. That's why it looks like a mirror. This was practice for the first race ever on the Circuit Île Notre-Dame, later named Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve. Incidentally, the latter actually won the race on that weekend after this heavy rain turned into light snow, which was a symbolic victory for a snowmobile champion.
it would be so cool if we could have a vintage style racing series with vintage tires and suspension, but modern build quality and new cars so they aren’t absolutely priceless and can be crashed
Most people if in a similar situation getting that close to track edge and having no room to spare i'd say were lucky of not going into the barriers, Patrick on the other hand is mm perfect...He was such a loss to the world, it's a shame he was so good and experienced as that meant come 1979/80 Alfa came calling and the rest is history as they say.
0 dislikes, wojooo :D . For me there is not reason to not like the video, great sound, view, track, driving in the rain, car control, those drift were so long! he risked alot when he was pushing the throtle, but Patrick knew how to control the car. Beatiful video :D
Grande, Patrick !!, enorme coraje, unas bolas como un toro !!. Alguna vez Lafitte definió a Depailler como "la rabia manejando". Me quedó grabado, muy buena definición

@FreeBirb that's the story of the world my friend, once people showed who was the boss fighting in coloseum. warriors. nowadays drivers are just passengers on computers with wheels.. yeah they are very safe
1:44 That is ridiculous! The car is kicking out and Patrick decides to give it even more power AND saves it. What a guy!
YES !! That DFV at its rev' limit and Patrick still sticking his boot in !
He was only 35 when he died in hockenheim 80.....

I agree. De Angelis was always faster than Mansell at Lotus and I’ll bet I know who had the better equipment.

This is perfect. Everything he does is perfect.
You can feel that crazy thing trying to swap ends every time he hits the gas … fantastic driving.
Probably one of the most insane pieces of driving I've ever witnessed man... mad car control, mad talent

Awesome 🙏👍👌
Imagine how he would feel in the cocoon of a today's F1 team. 😆
No computers, no halo, no drs, narrowly clips people on the exit of the pits and balls of steel...pure driving ability and fearlessness. RIP PD.
The legend says that the weight of the drivers balls was also taken into account by the engineers when designing the car
3:50 ohh my god
Csucsu Because he's a God. I wish I could race him
1978 Montréal I was standing on the overpass when Patrick drove by me that friday morning. The front of the car was zipzaging like hell.
Driving on a mirror-shine surface. You can practically read the inverted advertisements reflected on the road surface. Very similar to driving on ice. Absolutely phenomenal car control. What a masterclass.
One of the most talented drivers of his (or any) generation. More talented than many those who became F1 champions during his (or any) era.
È vero
What an absolute BEAUTIFUL lap. RIP Patrick.
One of my favourite drivers. Patrick is just playing here though..
OMG, so much power on that much water ! It's not driving, it's magic.
I've just had my heart in my mouth for just shy of five minutes. Unbelievable control.
Spectacular drive! He just puts on a clinic for wet driving,such an immense talent.
I love the way he almost runs the guy over at the beginning - proper '70s, no nonsense!
My favourite lap on wet track ever!
The track surface like a mirror but nobody complaining, just driving as faster as possible!
1:44 - 1:48: FOUR seconds of power sliding!!!
Herr Depailler , Du fehlst einfach. Er bleibt mein Lieblingsfahrer. Danke, das es diese Videos gibt. tu manques
It's the best quality I've ever seen from this decade, it's a shame that Patrick died brutally some years later
Seeing is believing! Real ,the top,the best drivers, pure talent in a very difficult conditions, Patrick is x sure one of the best ever🏁👍🏻

The vehicle does not come out of Patrick's word. You are a king Patrick.
RIP
Perfect car control, like a masterful dancer.
This never gets old.
Quel pilote ce Patrick Depailler 🇨🇵💪🙏
Jeesus. Stays flat out on the throttle on the exit with oversteer. Complete trust in the grip.
Patrick was in the same mold as Gilles. Both had an innocence about them, and as one can plainly see in the video, drove for fun more than the glory of the podium. Unthinkable for such heroes to be present in modern, pure money business that F1 has become.. Shame..
Fantastique !!! quel son ! !
Mi pare che poteva restare davanti da tutti i piloti di oggi.Grande pilota con una macchina potente e difficile,una legenda Francese.
9th august: Happy birthday up there Patrick
Rest in Peace Patrick
One of the best F1 video ever! Thank you so much
C'est ce qui s'appelle : " Piloter au dessus d'une piscine." Bravo l'artiste !!!
Casque bleu blanc rouge, du meilleur goût !
The movie "The Art of Racing in the Rain" is amazing, as if it was made just for Patrick.
One of the best pilot ever.
RIP.........Patrick Depailler.
Traction control system
Right foot and 2 really big balls!!!!
Unbelievable driving technique. With full throttle to the point where the engine screams in every gear, why doesn't the car spin out?
After 3:50, the car is going straight with full counter steering!?
It feels like watching the video game "Mario Kart".

Amazing car control
Awesome drifting Technics from Depailler
Just insane driving skills
Brilliant piloting. How he kept that together is amazing
Fenomenale
He was a great driver - every video of him giving it maximum beans as in this one.
Love the bits in this where it breaks away and he still keeps his foot in!.
Can't beat that DFV sound either - shame modern F1 engines don't sound this good.
absolut master class in car control
Zero fucks were given on that day
Masterpiece
the art of driving just over the limit… stunning skill.
Anyone else here because of Chris Harris and Collecting Cars?
1978, first time in Montreal, first win for Gilles.
One of my favorite F1 vids. Hearing the motor spooling up in every gear is freaking cool!
♥️♥️♥️🤘🤘🤘PATRICK FOREVER
2:47 Best Moment Ever
for me the 1:47 power slide is way brutal :D controlled full throttle power slide
When a camera from the late 70s could capture the mirror image of the objects on the road, you know how wet the track was on that day. Sick!
And those cameras were film cameras, and as big and heavy as a small refrigerator.
Funnily those old film cameras could produce better quality than we have today with digital media 🙃
@@erebousde film has a huge quality, you just can't imagine the quality of a good film camera (IMAX) but nowadays images we are getting are limited one, FIA don't want to spread free images or videos on web

Amazing driving skills on very wet track
Patrick was an old school pilote of immense talent.......in the pinnacle of F1..... before technology relegated the driver to "passenger in charge".
Awesome car control and lovely engine sound. F1 today pales in comparison.
Talento y arte el de Patrick; que bonito que hace bailar a ese Tyrrell en el agua!!!!
Grande pilota ..
👏👏
So good
Making that monster dance, great skills back then and huge balls
Remember he’s changing gears on corner exit. Which means one hand is coming off the wheel as he’s applying power. Huge Nuts. HUGE.
Merci !
3:54-3:59 once upon a time the Formula One
Just outstanding
Pure bravery !!
MERAVIGLIOSO!!!!!!!!😍🤩🥰
Current F1 drivers should watch this and stop complaining when it starts to sprinkle rain saying that it is too wet to race.
RESPECTTTTT........
it would be so cool if we could have a vintage style racing series with vintage tires and suspension, but modern build quality and new cars so they aren’t absolutely priceless and can be crashed
Incredible.
When they say so and so 'is good in the wet' - this has to be the benchmark.
lovely sound

Melhor onaboard de todos !
Esse é muito massa msm, da pra ver como o piloto tinha q se desdobrar no carro sem a tecnologia
