Who wouldnt? For one thing you can actually hear the cars instead like today. Today its like watching a bunch of fancy multi million dollar electric golf carts racing. It sucks high and and hard compared to back then.

The 80s were great, but the 70s are known as 'The Golden Ag of Formula 1' for a reason. The 70s had a higher standard of driver, and more iconic cars. Stewart, Lauda, Fittipaldi, Villeneuve, Reautaman, Schecker and the quickest of all, Ronnie Peterson. You can use Lauda as a benchmark. Even when he was old, he still beat Prost to the championship in '84 and was always competitive, but he was far from being the quickest in the 70s. Peterson, his teammate, was always more than a second a lap quicker in the same car. For example, at the Nurburgring, Lauda qualified 24th with a lap of 7 minutes 32.20 seconds. Peterson, in the same car, qualified 4th with a 7 minutes 11.60 seconds! That's 20.6 seconds a lap quicker! It's a long lap, but still, it shows you the level of driver in the 1970s. Prost, couldn't do anything close to that, and in turn Senna couldn't beat Prost by that either. The 70s are known as the Golden Age, for good reason.
@@creepingdread88 Lauda was still developing in early 70s and he definitely did not have the same equipment as Ronnie . Already then young Lauda showed that he knew a lot more about setup than Ronnie . If Lauda and Peterson were teamed in late 70s Ronnie would probably lose . Regarding your point about Senna and Prost , bear in mind they never ran old Nurburgring, so how could they demonstrate such differences.
Senna was an animal in these races. Unreal focus and skill. What a great time to be a F1 fan. With all the other legends in the races as well. And those engines. What sounds.

Frank Williams favored British and Commonwealth drivers, and in the final race of 1981, he prevented his team's Argentine driver from winning the championship. The Brazilian driver, who claimed the championship that year, later joined Williams in hopes of securing another title but was thwarted in the closing stages of the final race. However, the Brazilian driver went on to win the championship on his own the following year before leaving the team.
One of my books on Alain Prost said in this race he was short on fuel to finish by -5 laps. He decided that either the computer was wrong or he wouldn't finish the race. He said fuck it and went for it. Crossed the finish line with the computer saying -5. What a champion 🏆
Myself and a mate had just had a spell at the Adelaide Bowling Club which was situated halfway down Brabham Straight, we were standing at the fence about 4 deep when I saw a bunch of sparks flying in the air further down the track, out of sight from my position, the people in the stands across the other side of the track all stood up. I said to my mate, somethings happened. Mansell out. Amazing memories, amazing race.
Thank you for the upload. Very poignant that both onboard camera drivers (Johnny Dumfries and Patrick Tambay) are sadly no longer with us. Nigel Mansell was unlucky as was Keke Rosberg, but what a super canny drive by Alain Prost -the Professor living up to his name. Probably the last time the F1 championship was won by a clearly inferior car.
I was here! Great race... I had mug general entry tickets and cdnt see much, so me and a mate climbed a tree.. Brilliant view, til the coppers made us climb down!!
It's great to revisit the good old days of F1, when millions around the world stopped to watch the races, with great drivers and without the aberration of DRS that excluded the overtaking technique.
Thanks for putting this on, Ciaron. I watched this in a Birmingham guest house after a visit to the NEC. A disappointing but memorable race from a great era of F1.
31:05 - race start. Senna was wildly out of control there! Almost looked like Alliot hit Mansell's right rear tyre, but it seems like the puncture happened by itself. Prost claims McLaren wanted Rosberg out front initially to cause problems for Williams.
wow this footage is great. and the memories man.... i remember my heart being broken wide open at the end of this race. our nige. our niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiige....
@@joeandrews7329Perhaps but with a car not at the level of the Williams Honda, he was regular for all this incredible season, taking advantage of the disagreements between Piquet and Mansell. He wasn't nicknamed "The Professor" for nothing 😉
Prost had more combined Championship winners as a teammate than anyone! 9 ...take it back...after thinking I realize it's actually Nico Rosberg 14 WDC between Hamilton and Schumacher
Got to watch the the BBC version without Advert breaks, Tony in the pits finds out about Prost slow puncture then Murray and James talk about it... During Australian advert breaks. You miss about 15 mins of race commentary.

This. THIS is the reason why Alain is hugely under-rated, you think it was luck that he pitted, that the other did not? This was all part of the plan, he knew exactly;y what he was doing
Actually the only one who knew what he was doing was Mansell. He had planned mid race tyre change but Williams were convinced by the Goodyear technicians that a pitstop wasn't required so Mansell's plan was cancelled
God the F1 Cars from the Late Eighties to the Mid Nineties were So Damn Beautiful and the Pilots Back Then Would Eat the Majority of Today’s Drivers Lunch… A Truly Incredible Era for F1…
I wasn't even born when this race happened but I still consider Mansell one of my favourite drivers and watching that tyre blowout ALWAYS hurts, man. 😫 Nigel should have been a two time world champion at the very least. Maybe a three time or even a four time world champion if his cards fell the right way.
@@ciaronsmith4995 why would he think that. It can be very easily argued that Piquet lost 86 due to Belgium or Spain engine failure . Or perhaps I should mention Mexico race issues. But for that one has to be knowledgable about what happened , and most seem lazy to apply themselves. Piquet had more unreliability issues in 83 than Prost . How about we disspel the myth. It is easily verifiable .
@@kekepiket9153 Yes let's go over Prost in 1983. Turbo failures in Italy and South Africa, a mechanical issue that put him 3 laps down in USA, and a team that didn't develop the car properly. He made a big mistake in Netherlands where he hit Piquet, but apart from that he was unlucky. Prost was better than Piquet. Piquet just had a smarter team that new how to develop the car even if it was only slightly more unreliable.
@ciaronsmith4995 Piquet had 4 failures, Prost 3. What is unlucky there . Renault was for most of the season better car. Just check qualifying differences , especially France. 3/4 of a season Prost had a better car . It was a tight season , very competitive because Ferrari's were also great , but Prost lost the season because among other was uncompetitive in street tracks . It is also interesting how in the end of the season Cheever was so close to him , led him in Brands Hatch. Brabhams were far more unreliable than Renaults . Easily verified. Prost slowing down in USA is anulled by Piquet having to slow down in Belgium as well due to gearbox, also Detroit was unlucky . Piquet simply managed a better season . He was close when he could , lost a ton of points in midseason due to unreliability, and in last three races when car became good, ran away with it , without making a mistake .
I was 1 years old and about 800metres from the circuit at my grandparents, possibly dribbling and crying over nothing in particular....all the while, waving my dummy
Please enable subtitles for the benefit of the hard of hearing. (As I am not politically correct I call myself 80% deaf.) What a dramatic race! Two terrible disappointments and the Professor takes an unexpected title. When Keke was plus 30 on Piquet, Ron should have brought him in for tires, but tire strategy was practically unknown in those days.
It may seem absurd that Williams decided to change tires, but their judgment was based on the prediction that Prost’s Porsche-powered car would run out of fuel or significantly slow down due to fuel concerns. However, that scenario never materialized. Rosberg’s excellent support and Prost’s fuel-efficient driving skillfully deceived the Williams team.
Drivers who won the WDC with inferior car: 1982: Keke Rosberg with Cosworth Williams (4th or 5th fastest car) 1986: Alain Prost with 3rd fastest car on the grid 2007: Kimi Raikkonen with 2nd fastest car on the grid Any others?
@@糖質退治ボランティア That was more down to Renault's car unreliability and Alain still learning as a driver, admittedly. In 1983 Ferrari was probably the best car and the Brabham was likely equal to Renault. Renault just had too many DNFs and errors.
What was Piquet doing driving so slow on the first 10 laps with fresh rubber ? He pitted 16 laps to go ( lap 66 of 82 ) and was 18 seconds behind Prost. Why didnt he charge hard and fast immediately ? He was going 1.5 secs faster than Prost in the last few laps. If Piquet started charging immediately he might have caught Prost with 3 or 4 laps to go.
@@hungrysurfer9471 problem is we dont know fuel status . Piquet could charge and did, however he had to take into account amount of fuel. It is actually Prost's risk that made it . His gauge told him he was -5 laps , yet he kept on going fast, disregarding it.
@@joeandrews7329 Spa 98 and Suzuka 98 are a couple of my earliest memories of watching F1. Spa was mental but Suzuka was just an excellent title decider! I kinda miss Japan being the final round of the season and more often than not being the title deciding race.
Bad luck never came into this. Patrick head is a very clever man. He had several opportunities to pit Mansell but never did. I bet he is still kicking himself.
Exactly. He should have pitted Mansell right after Rosberg quit, just to be safe. Mansell could have then safely coasted to third. My understanding is that they were quite worried about the tires already before the race, which makes this even harder to understand. (Obviously hindsight is always 20/20, but still...)
Imagine Nelson Piquet's happiness at losing the title because the team ordered him to pit, because they imagined that the same thing that happened to Mansel could happen. Wrong assumption and title lost for Nelson and the team.
Wow at the start some cars sideways as ,turbo power ,race of legends way better than modern F1 and a 2 hour race lol 80s tech come out of corner and quater way down the straight and its full boost kicks in ,they be nasty to drive
Back when F1 wasn't strangled by environmental concerns - clouds of unburnt special brew fuel out the exhaust under acceleration - 2 lap 1000hp+ qualifying 'grenade' engines and a proper gearlever and clutch.
His left rear blowout in Australia 1986 was similar to Michael Schumacher's 1 at Japan 1998, when his right rear tyre exploded at the pits straight on lap 31/51.
I like to watch those races much more than the current ones.
Things were still alright back then, in every regard.
