- Martin Brundle got his dream job for 1994, driving for the legendary McLaren team. Only at this moment in time the MP4/9 was propelled by the fragile and underpowered Peugeot engines, making Brundles life a real nightmare. The engines kept blowing up, costing Martin valuable points and podium finishes for one very unlucky championship season.

Welcome back DimzF1. I've been waiting for you to make another one of these videos for this series of "F1 Unlucky Seasons"
This again shows how bad Peugeot was in reliability it's not funny. While Peugeot was a race winning manufacturer in endurance racing, they were never going to have the same success in Formula 1 Grand Prix racing. The engines they had were very heavy and very under powered. I don't blame the McLaren boss Ron Dennis for dumping Peugeot for 1995 and signing with Mercedes-Benz because that turned out to be the right decision as Hakkinen and McLaren have won a double world championship in 1998 and Hakkinen won the 1999 world championship after an unforgettable season that was blown wide open for anyone to take it. In all honesty, they should've signed with Lamborghini for 1994 instead and have Peugeot go straight to Jordan because the late great Ayrton Senna told Ron in 1993 "This new car with the Lamborghini engine is better than the one we have now, I want to run this car for the last 3 races.", but as we all know Ron didn't listen, yet Senna was leaving for Williams anyway so why would his opinion on what engine McLaren would use for 1994 matter.
Lamborghini was even more unreliable though. I guess if Senna and Forghieri stayed with McLaren for 93 and 94 they could find tune it and its reliability.
@@theiceman7590 While it's true Lamborghini was unreliable, BUT the french manufacturers can't build anything with reliability and the results speak for themselves. As shown here in 1994 with McLaren, 1995-1997 (to some extent) with Jordan, and especially with Prost from 1998-2000, Peugeot had their engines blow up left right and center. At Prost in 2000 they went through believe it or not 59 copies of the Peugeot engine that year. That again shows that the french manufacturers Peugeot and Renault (to some extent) are so bad in reliability it's not funny. The difference is that Lamborghini had potential with a top team as it showed that Lamborghini can challenge for podiums and potentially race wins, so did Peugeot BUT again "it was an endurance race winning manufacturer yet they were not bound to have the same success in Formula 1 Grand Prix racing."
What’s funny is that when Peugeot teamed up with Jordan, they made huge strides and had a great engine in 1997. When they teamed up with Prost for 1998, they were utterly useless again ending up in their dreadful 2000 season where Pug went through nearly 60 engines that year.
@@alexpeak16 In a deep analysis of "What went wrong with Prost Grand Prix" It says that Prost went through 59 engines in 2000 which again shows how bad the manufacturer was in reliability. And according to Alain Prost himself in his Beyond The Grid podcast, Peugeot acted in bad faith because they changed the terms of the contract on him from free of charge to a deal where he had to pay a big portion of his budget for the engines but no support from actual engineers and technicians from Peugeot itself. While they had the potential as they had promising results in terms of power, but again if you look at my original comment "...They were never going to have the same amount of success in Formula 1 Grand Prix racing." Endurance racing is not the same as Grand Prix racing.
1:18 There was nothing to be happy about Imola 1994 period. Rubens Barrichello got hurt so bad he had to withdraw from the race, Roland Ratzenberger died during qualifying, and lastly Ayrton Senna on Lap 7 or 8 died from a faulty steering column that was the ultimate cause of his crash.
everyone knows that.
Καλός πιλότος αλλά η Peugeot ήταν πολύ αδύναμος κινητήρας για την McLaren
Peugeot was so bad in reliability it's not funny. They only entered F1 because they thought that they can enter F1 and try to beat their French rival Renault after winning over Renault in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Formula 1 Grand Prix racing is not the same as endurance racing though, the engines they had were very heavy and very under powered. They ended up quitting at the end of their horrific 2000 season with Prost, but kept going for two more years rebranded as Asiatech supplying Arrows and Minardi until leaving completely at the end of 2002.
cant hear the comentry its too soft.
Turn your volume up.
