@@mrrolandlawrence To be fair, lap was a bit longer back then and a lot more dangerous which prevented a driver to go over the edge all the time like in modern safe cars.
@@mrrolandlawrence I would dare ANYONE alive today to take Stewart's short wheelbase Tyrrell 006 and period tyres out on the old Nurburgring and do a 7 minute lap. Let' s see who is the one crapping..
@@zetecryt inb4 idc 1 year old comment What do YOU get by making a hypothesis that people nowadays suck and thereby assuming that you also suck? Jackie Stewart wasn't special. He was quick but as Cevert said, a large part of it was the result of his mechanical knowledge. And of course there's the environment. People don't realise their life sucked until they experience something else. Same for the drivers of the olden days. It was just normal racing. Crashing and dying was normal but so was dying of smallpox and dying in non-NCAP approved cars. YOU could be him if you were raised in the exact same condition as him.
We need to gleen knowledge and wisdom from these drivers from the 70's. Absolute gladiators, thank you gentlemen for those years. Thank God F1 is so much safer now.
It's from Formula 1 Driver: aka The Quick and The Dead. Be aware that it's got some gruesome footage and themes that might have been acceptable in the 70s that are just not now, so I'd prescreen it before letting your kids watch it. There's also some rather inappropriate nudity in it as well. That said, overall it is a great documentary from a time when the sport of F1 was vastly different than now, and i do recommend it for racing fans in general.
The Lord of The Ring himself says he never made a perfect lap there. Fucking awesome and challeging circuit!
to think he was racing around in 7+ minutes and now the record is 5m 15s!!!! i bet he crapped himself when he watched the 919s lap.

@@mrrolandlawrence Now it's not even close to the rough surface from the 70ies. And also there where almost no runout zones at that time.

And Sir Jackie did his best to make F1 safer. But it was a long way to reach better safety in F1.
Thank you Sir Jackie.
These Tyrrell are authentic 'beules'
You see a lot of the design look features you see in today’s cars.

Thank you for sharing.
Was this all of the video clip. It stopped all of a sudden.

It's from a movie, think it's called either Weekend of a Champion or The Quick and the Dead
