The man with the white hat and mustache behind Ascari at 14:14 is my grandfather Tino Martinoli. He was a mechanic on Ferrari’s racing team. So cool to have him immortalized in the history of this great sport.
All tho! The Auto Unio! Led by dr Porsche and a v16 monster approved by the murderus Adolf Hitler! Of Austrian decent. So are! FORD CHEVROLET Chrysler (aka) Dodge AND DR. ALL of them are Dr's Austrians ! Masters just like dr Porsche! Bur not quit... Dr. Porsche was A futuristic! No look back as soonest hi proven his teorry and disinges.
Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us 'take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car! Thirty years later, Sebastian told us 'I had to start my car like a computer, it's very complicated! And Nico Rosberg said that during the race - I don't remember what race - he pressed the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you both: is Formula One driving today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?
Got to that stage where i won't watch videos unless there atleast 20 mins long. This is perfect an I recommend you post more even before I've watched this all
1985 - 1992 is my favourite period in formula one, the teams, cars and driver's of that 7 year period created an atmosphere that gives me tingles to look back on.
I have to say this video is a massive achievement. I was born the year Formula One started. So this almost feels like my life trajectory! One point that you might've made but didn't. In the 2007 Chinese Grand Prix, McLaren left Hamilton out a couple of laps too long before the tyre change. His tyres were completely bald and on the entry into the pit lane he slid off into the gravel and could not be pulled out. If he had continued and stayed the same place on the track he would've become champion. Because of those lost points, he lost the championship to Räikkönen by one point. When you add this to the disgraceful way the 2021 championship was stolen from him, he should have been a nine times world champion by now,
Hope you keep enjoying F1. I have for 32 years now, and it's nice that others are getting interested now. The respectable ones are more than welcome to come along.
the '94 Season was very special and what's missing from the video is that the Benneton of Schumacher was down on power from all other cars, it had a V8 engine compared to the V10 in Hill's Williams and Ferrari's V12, what Schumacher did that year was truly outstanding in an era where there was no engine dominance over all rivals on the grid.
Yep Schumacher using his broken car to ram into Hill was truly outstanding, The fact that he was allowed to do that and still keep the championship was the final straw for me, Schumacher did a load of shady shit that would of seen any other driver stripped of points and/or banned and it was enough to make me give up on F1.
@@NB-TB Really, must be hard to be such a hypocrite, Shumacher was in front and had the right to close the door on Hill, and the fact that Hill took Shumacher off on 3 separate occasions after that including Silverstone and Coulthard took Shumacher off in spa, the year his team mate Hakkinen won by 2 points, But both Hakkinen and Alonso both praised Shumacher as being the best driver in F1, you are such a Hypocrite.

A tour de force of F1 history. Thank you for your cyclopedic knowledge of the sport. Back in 1968 I remember getting my motorcycle helmet signed by Emerson Fittipaldi when going to Kyalami on a Wednesday afternoon after school. We rode right into the pits and all the drivers were having tea. (You can’t do that today!) I asked Emerson for his autograph and he grabbed my helmet and signed it. All the other drivers ragged him by shouting “Emerson!” together. One thing I did not know was that Gunston was the first cigarette company to sponsor F1. The brand was famous in SA with all their sponsored cars painted in “Gunston Orange”. The racing Ford Capri Piranha was iconic at the time. Thanks once again!
As a new fan of F1 (who's always interested in history) i appreciate this video so much. This video will pull in new fans for years, and old ones too of course. Great job!

I'm never going to understand why Senna was not instantly disqualified for receiving outside assistance in Japan '89. That rule has been around since the 1950's. He got a push start, it's over.
I've been watching F1 for more than 40 years: Congratulations on this massive work! Required viewing for Liberty Media / Drive to Survive newcomer fans, no doubt. #bringbackV10s
I'm a pretty new fan, having only started watching F1 seriously in 2023. Absolutely LOVED every minute of this 3 hour history lesson. It's beautifully put together and has given me a great understanding of the history of this sport that I'm now so in love with
This is 100% what I was looking for. I've typically preferred cars that look like they could also be road-going. But I have started to really get into F1 lately, and I wanted to learn about the history via a long documentary-style vid. Most videos I found were pretty good, but only reached 20-30 minutes. Thanks, man. More than three hours is no joke. I really appreciate the effort.
Normally I leave comments for a good reason (practicing my mind) - I have the time for that gotten. All features F1 is impressive all ways. Love from - does not matter - where. 🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎
Quite rightly, the British contribution to the proliferation of the sport of motorracing is really quite astounding.

WOW, that was epic. I hope the newer fans watch this in full just to understand why us older fans tend to respect all the drivers on the grid. Even though there's some that hang on to favourite drivers or teams, they're all brilliant. Thanks for this amazing video. This is getting saved to my favourites.
Don’t forget to mention that after the Spain GP in 2008 Ferrari decided to put all their eggs in one basket favoring Massa in development because of the future Santander sponsor deal. Kimi was screwed by Ferrari and they kicked him in 2009.
I still love that famous quote from Martin Brundle "That didn't work Michael, you hit the wrong part of him, my friend." He knew immediately it was on purpose. Amazing video and a great comprehensive history of F1, thanks so much!
Great video allthough you left out the scandal around Flavio Briatore, the rule change that forbid refuelling, the end of the tyre war, Hannah Schmitz and her contribution to redbulls dominance and you didn't mention DRS with a single word.
Great video dude, as someone who's channel is long 2hour+ based videos I understand the time these vids take and cant thank you enough! Keep up the amazing work, video will do splendidly overtime
I’m at the schumacher era and…i’ve got say, thank you for doing this. Brilliant, bravo guys. You surpassed yourselves. x Just a quick one to say the YT keep unsubscribing me from your channel. Subbed again for the third time.
great video, amazing amount of work required to create a 3 h plus lesson about the history of this amazing sport. Congratulations A great piece of content for all the new f1 fans outthere . Cheers from Portugal
i wasn't even alive back then but i agree , i have watched plenty of documentaries and past races to say that back then it was just about passion for racing but the so called pinnacle now is just because it is bringing more money than ever
@@carnell7042f1 was just as financially motivated in the past as it is now. If anything, it might even be less so now. People look back on the past with rose tinted glasses, forgetting how many issues there were… if you weren’t in the top 4-6, it was basically a race of attrition. The racing was good when it was actually possible, but I’d argue there are just as many good races in the current era.
Great video. Should be "required reading", so to speak, for new F1 fans. It's also a very sobering look at the sport for sure, when you look at the darker moments. In terms of most embarrassing moment, I would submit that the last race of 2021 was much higher on the scale than the Indy debacle. At least there, rules were followed, though it lead to a weird situation. In most prior controversies, it was teams doing something shady and against the rules. In Abu Dabi, it was the actual officials doing it!
The first World Championship Grand Prix at Silverstone in 1950, Ferrari weren't there, the organisers probably didn't offer enough starting money to make the trip worthwhile for Enzo's team, they did however compete during that first season
I've been a long time subscriber to this channel and I really do appreciate the 3-hour work that you have put into it and I love all your videos. Just can't wait for the 2024 season
Excellent. The new standard for F1 history videos. You are my go to for F1 info, all the other F1 (clickbait)TH-camrs are crying now that the gauntlet has been thrown, no, firmly planted in cement.
on the double point thing, id like to see a season where the fia awards double points on a race completely randomly. right before lights out and the drivers are already on the grid ready to race. wonder how thatd change strategy.
This is an incredible summary of F1 history. Really, really well done! thank you for making and posting this. As a tip to get more people to see this, you could divide it in to separate video's for each 'era'. Not everyone goes and watch a 3 hour long (amazing) documentary about F1 history. By making it more like episodes maybe more people would want to watch this. I think this is almost mandatory for all F1 fans. Again, really wel done, and thank you.
Each usual driver and racing driver have their own ways of having mono as car of any type ,kind and sort and the driver in one.The best one may enter the history.
Dude, this is absolutely astonishing. Thank you for your hard work and effort. I’m a long haul semi truck driver and this is making my day much more bearable.
My first grand prix visit was in '82 i've been to many gp's al across Europe, 80's 90's early 00 were fantastic but they slowley took the heart and soul out off the sport. And sold it to Liberty Media was the the biggest mistake in f1 history, have fun but i have quit
Excellent video, but one clarification. It is not a "combustion engine" but an "internal combustion engine." The combustion occurs inside the cylinders unlike in the steam engine, where the fuel/air mixture is combusted outside the cylinders, with the steam piped into the cylinders to convert the heat into motion.
Awesome summary of the F1 history, respect!! The only thing I found missing is any mention of the COOPER brand, which were afterall F1 world champions in '59 and '60!?
Incredible, the effort it took you to do all this deserves more than a sub and a like but it's the least one can do, thank you for such an amazing and complete video.
Excellent video, thank you for the hard work. As a long time fan of the sport , there are still many snippets of information i wasn't aware of. For example the fact Lancia passed their knowledge and engines to Ferrari when they left F1... Really very interesting
Great video. I've only been watching F1 since the last part of 2020. I don't even really have a team I support right now, but I'm excited to see Audi on the grid. Great to see the history of F1 and after watching Drive to Survive and the Brawn GP show, I feel like I have some knowledge of F1 now. I'm mad I missed the V10 times. I wish F1 would ditch electrification and let the teams develop more high revving ICE's.
I started watching F1 in 1984, and I watched virtually every race live on television until the end of the 1996 season. The 1980's was my favourite decade of F1. Along with the very early 1990's. I must admit that I don't watch F1 now. Its gotten too technical for my liking, and it seems like the safety car is being deployed every 5 minutes. There's certainly no race without it being used nowadays. Along with ridiculous penalties and rules.
Even Michael Schumacher said Ayrton Senna is the greatest Formula 1 driver of all-time. So have Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Mika Hakkinen. In a driver’s poll conducted in 2004 Senna was resoundingly chosen as number 1.
The man with the white hat and mustache behind Ascari at 14:14 is my grandfather Tino Martinoli. He was a mechanic on Ferrari’s racing team. So cool to have him immortalized in the history of this great sport.

Amazing Video & Effort/Detail !
8 minutes into the video and I'm already astunished with the amount of information and pictures /footage acquired for this video. 😮
This is so comprehensive! Strong work.
This is an incredible summary of F1 history. Really, really well done! thank you for making and posting this.
As a tip to get more people to see this, you could divide it in to separate video's for each 'era'. Not everyone goes and watch a 3 hour long (amazing) documentary about F1 history.
By making it more like episodes maybe more people would want to watch this. I think this is almost mandatory for all F1 fans.
Again, really wel done, and thank you.
Now this is awesome! This is the content at least I want to see from you guys, great job!
This video is a real accomplishment, nice work!
Great documentary! Nevertheless, the GPT syntax is very notable and sometimes it's too distracting 😅
Very impressive video, thank you for taking the time and effort to make this.
This video was absolutely amazing. Learned so much and got to revisit the glory years of the 90s by watching it. Well done.
Thank you for sharing this video for free. Keep up the good quality work!
Each usual driver and racing driver have their own ways of having mono as car of any type ,kind and sort and the driver in one.The best one may enter the history.
Watch the quick and the dead, one of the best films about F1 ever.
Dude, this is absolutely astonishing. Thank you for your hard work and effort. I’m a long haul semi truck driver and this is making my day much more bearable.
It really isn’t
My first grand prix visit was in '82 i've been to many gp's al across Europe, 80's 90's early 00 were fantastic but they slowley took the heart and soul out off the sport. And sold it to Liberty Media was the the biggest mistake in f1 history, have fun but i have quit
Good stuff , leaving some support
Phenomenal video, one of the best and most informative I've ever seen on youtube. Thank you.
What a brilliant watch. Thoroughly enjoyed it 👏
I woke up to this documentary what a documentary brah this is epic
Excellent video, but one clarification. It is not a "combustion engine" but an "internal combustion engine." The combustion occurs inside the cylinders unlike in the steam engine, where the fuel/air mixture is combusted outside the cylinders, with the steam piped into the cylinders to convert the heat into motion.
Awesome summary of the F1 history, respect!! The only thing I found missing is any mention of the COOPER brand, which were afterall F1 world champions in '59 and '60!?
This is so well done! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Priceless time capsule! Thank you.
Think I've rewatched this 2 or 3 times now, simply amazing
It really isn’t
Incredible, the effort it took you to do all this deserves more than a sub and a like but it's the least one can do, thank you for such an amazing and complete video.
How lucky are we today that we don’t really have to worry about our favorite drivers dying every two weeks
Thanks chatGPT, very cool.
This was great!
Excellent video, thank you for the hard work. As a long time fan of the sport , there are still many snippets of information i wasn't aware of. For example the fact Lancia passed their knowledge and engines to Ferrari when they left F1... Really very interesting
Outstanding video!!!.... Respect to all involved. Thanks
Excellent video. Thank you for all of your hard work putting it together
Glad you enjoyed it!
Feels unreal to be able to watch this for free. Absolute banger of a video.
Wow it's amazing all the effort and work put in this!❤❤
Merry Christmas!! We hope you like it! :-)
What a find for a bit of Sunday viewing 👀
Great video
Great video. I've only been watching F1 since the last part of 2020. I don't even really have a team I support right now, but I'm excited to see Audi on the grid. Great to see the history of F1 and after watching Drive to Survive and the Brawn GP show, I feel like I have some knowledge of F1 now. I'm mad I missed the V10 times. I wish F1 would ditch electrification and let the teams develop more high revving ICE's.
I started watching F1 in 1984, and I watched virtually every race live on television until the end of the 1996 season. The 1980's was my favourite decade of F1. Along with the very early 1990's. I must admit that I don't watch F1 now. Its gotten too technical for my liking, and it seems like the safety car is being deployed every 5 minutes. There's certainly no race without it being used nowadays. Along with ridiculous penalties and rules.
Watch the 1998 - 2008 seasons. There's quite a few on TH-cam. Enjoy. 🤘😎🤘
Even Michael Schumacher said Ayrton Senna is the greatest Formula 1 driver of all-time. So have Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Mika Hakkinen. In a driver’s poll conducted in 2004 Senna was resoundingly chosen as number 1.
They should just continue adding on to this video as the years go by
What a great listen.
What a piece of work! Wow, congratulations. Spreading the word!
Great video!😊
As a big rally fan thank you for this video ❤
Should be a great watch. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!! We hope you like it! :-)
