Formula 1 1982 - Brabham Invent Refuelling
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- In 1982, the Brabham team, led by Bernie Ecclestone, worked out that the time gained by starting a race with tanks half-full outweighed the cost of stopping halfway to refill. Thus was born the modern pit-stop. They tried it in four races - in the first three, neither of their cars made it far enough to stop, due to reliability and backmarkers (Piquet's response to being taken off while lapping Salazar is my earliest F1 memory). Although the strategy yielded no points, it proved itself in theory, and by the next season pit stops were the norm.

"From then on it was a French benefit, with the two pretty yellow cars working perfectly. As if all concerned in the Renault team had agreed for one day only to put all the nuts on the right bolts"
I LOVE THIS MAN
My personal favorite was "...find out if he could go the whole way half full, after having gone half way half empty."
The commentary is SO FUCKING SARCASTIC AND GENIAL! AMAZING!!!
I find it really annoying
Yeah but as a troll, you would find everything sensible annoying.
He's making it about him, not the racing. And his jokes aren't that funny.
Jazz Yeah I've seen him on TV. My dad was into him but his humor hasn't aged well.
Jazz Maybe it makes you feel intelligent but it's anything but enlightening or subtle. In fact he's really inefficient at disseminating information here, which is the root of why I find it irritating. He uses exaggeration and absurdity in a wry tone, in every single joke, and I'm supposed to be surprised or interested after the twentieth time he does it? He's articulate, sure, but if that floats your boat you can listen to someone recite Dylan Thomas. It's hardly necessary for sports highlights. This is from the analog TV era when it may have been the best of very few options. Now, in comedy and F1, audiences demand something more. Deny reality all you want pal.
This could be the highlight of Salazar's career so let's look at it again:):) Brilliant
"... Piquet was approaching the first ever halfway hauled for cold fuel.
Nothing could go wrong, everything had been foreseen.
Except the awkward presence of Salazar in the run-up to the new Mickey Mouse 'Ost' curva chicane.
Salazar was supposed to drop back, but apparently had not read the stage directions.
Piquet was calm, however. He greeted Salazar affectionately.
Piquet and Salazar go to Karate class together and here was a chance to practice a few routines.
This could be the high point of Salazar's career, so let's see it again..."
*rolls-replay
Can we have more of this guy in hybrid era?
He needs to join Radio Le Mans :P
He dead
Clive James is a comedic genius.
Especially that bit with "...the perfidious Ecclestone...."! :D
Prophetic words! :D :P
LupusAries now we deal with the jackass's from sky
Some great points in this commentary:
"This could be the high point of Salazar's career, so let's see it again."
"The big plan was going like a military operation, although nobody knew which military operation. It might've been Arnhem."
"But... Or, to put it another way, buuuuuut!"
"Patrese had alot of luck, so did alot of spectators. Including the kinda of girl who has to get into trouble before she believe that you can get pregnant standing up."
Absolutely love the Clive James commentary. "........including the kind of girl who had to get into trouble before she believe that you can get pregnant standing up." Why can't modern race commentary be like this?
The Random Aussie this isnt race commentary. This is over dubbd a long time after.
The Random Aussie, not possible nowadays because everyone would get offended, he would be branded a sexist for sure.
Because it's sexist.
Not because people would brad it sexist. Because it IS.
no it isn't. it's a joke, not a dick, don't take it so hard.
Calling a girl dumb is not sexist. Talking about thinking girls can't get pregnant whilst standing up also isn't. You can say it about a man too.
This is basically Ozzy Man Reviews 1980's version.
This the funniest F1 commentary ever. This guy would be fired today for talking about girls that have to get into trouble before she believes that you can get pregnant just by standing up ! LOL :-)
Team33 who was the commentator?
Clive James
*Wanted to see how far he could drive a bonfire*
I was giggling at the commentary the whole way through, but I totally lost it at the Karate incident.
What a fucking genius that man is!
Clive james used to make my sunday nights when i was a kid.
Totally didnt expect to hear him commenting on an F1 vid.
"That left Piquet, the only man with the big plan.....nothing could go wrong anything had been foreseen except for the awkward presence of Salazar. Salazar was supposed to drop back but had not read the stage directions. Piquet remained calm however. He greeted Salazar affectionately. Piquet and Salazar go to karate classes together and here was a chance to practice some moves."
Quite possibly the best commentary ever. If Clive James did the season review of every F1 season, they'd be so great.
Best F1 commentary *EVER* *!!!*
Clive James commentary at its best
I really enjoyed the commentary.
This is quality commentary Bring back this stuff!
I remember watching Piquet and Salazar having their boxing test live on TV. I was little more than a baby, years away from learning to read. Giacomelli was my favourite driver at that time.
We need this man in today's F1. Perfect!
"piquet raced on as his teammate tried to find out how far you can drive a bonfire." LOL
6:37 - pure genius, why can't we have that kind of commentary today...
"The number of people who were killed was zero, which is three or 4 hundred less than it could have been" holy shit I lost I it at that point
Came for the racing, stayed for the commentary.
The Clive James audio commentary of "Senna" in the bonus dvd was equally entertaining
With the wonderful, remarkable, always witty Clive James' commentary.
Thanks for the great upload! Racing and commentary gold from the days when men were men and the audience were amused.
That's Clive James, he made the three best reviews (1982, 84 and 86).
i absolutely love the commentary.
Hilarious commentary by the brilliant Clive James.
Why aren't the commentaries on 2017-on as savage as this guys holy shit
"Piquet and Salazar go to karate class together and here was a chance to practise a few routines." 😂😂😂
"while the alfa's were being put back together so they could be thrown away" < geninuely lolled there. Clive James is a genius. Read his memoirs, they are tremendous. btw he once described arnold schwarzenegger during his bodybuilding years as "a brown condom full of wallnuts" :)
omg this narrator! I need more of this!
Clive James is the best in the business on documentaries. He's just narrating not a commentator :O
I think i just pissed myself laughing
Gotta love Clive Anderson doing the commentary. Absolute legend.
"...to see if it can go all the way half full, after going half way half empty..." looooool that was too funny!
Most sarcastic F1 presenter.
rofl! Give Clive James a medal. Or put him and Murray in the same booth :D
Wish he and Hunt could've commentated togeter.
The images are awesome, but the commentary is genius!!
"while the alfas were put back together so they can be thrown away". Nice commentor.
Commentary is gold ! :D :D
The 1982 ground effect cars without their front wings were, in my opinion, the most beautiful Formula 1 cars. My favourites are the Brabham BT50, the Lotus 91, and purely for the yellow - white - black livery; the Renault RE30B.
@evarn Sliding skirts that actually rubbed on the ground were banned for the 1981 season and had to have a 6cm gap between skirt and ground, until Brabham invented a hydraulic jacking system the lowered the car on track and then raised it to the 6cm rule when in the pits. The 1982 cars had flexible rubbing strips as skirts (not sliding skirts) which were permitted to touch the road surface much like the 1977 Lotus 78 started off with after initially experimenting with 'brushes' as skirts.
Loving the commentary!
While the Alfas were being put together so they could be thrown away
😂😂😂
Formula One was still the premier motor sport competition back in the early 1980's, but when you look at races like the one at Paul Ricard, seeing Piquet pull off the track into a run off that looks like a backyard in Phoenix, Az, you realise that F1 still had a way to go in terms of building and maintaining high quality circuits.
I love his delivery, completely deadpan.
What great commentary!!
Pique's kick at 5:15 is one of the greatest moments in F1 history
unfortunately today that wouldn't really happen and if it did someone like Hamilton would afterward give interviews "worrying" what an image formula 1 is given to the children and such blabla
"With Patrese's car going very slowly, as it would wanted to do something... Yes, it wanted to burst into flames."
Classic F1 commentary!
I had this same season review on VHS once. I also had seasons -83, -84, -91, -92, -93, -94 and -98
I love the sarcasm of the commentator - brilliant :D
Would like to know though what happened to Brabham's "brilliant" plan afterwards. When did it become custom to do mid-race pit stops? Only when they had tires which didn't last the distance?
"While the Alfas were being put back together so they could be trown away!"haha so great!
Clive James is a genius.
"It turned out that De Cesaris had taken immense trouble to get all the way across the track in order to ram his teammate. Why this should've been so, nobody knew."
This world needs more Clive Owen!
"Including the kind of girl, who had to get into trouble before she believes that you can get pregnant standing up..."
I actually dropped my coffee when I heard that - this man is a god!
I don't understand why some people think that pit stops were something akin to the beginning of the end for racing in F1. The truth of the matter is that there was fighting for the lead and overtaking in the years after 1982. It's all the changes the rulesmakers are perpetrating, not the innovations of the teams, that's hurting F1.
The FIA should let these racers be racers for a little while with good cars and fast tracks, and then see what happens.
11y later, its still terrifying seeing Mass almost landing in the stands
most sarcastic commentary ever! brilliant!
I don't know who is this guy, but the commentator is pure gold hahaha
The commentary!
Sure ismate. From Wikipedia "James presented the 1982, 1984 and 1986 official Formula One season review videos. A keen motorsport enthusiast, his style of witty narration was popular with fans. He also presented The Clive James Formula 1 Show for ITV to coincide with their Formula One coverage in 1997."
Only for 3 seasons?
I wish clive still did the fia review of the year
Amen to that. The reason there's no overtaking is because there aren't any truly fast challenging circuits anymore, they're all toothless and castrated. Hopefully this year should be interesting though with 4 teams on paper that should be competing for the win.
To be fair, Brabham were not the first team to refuel in F1. In the very early days (I'm talking 40's and 50's), some of the cars had such high fuel consumption that two or three stops were required to refuel in order to finish the race.
Bernie and Brabham may have revolutionised pitstops for the modern era and brought new strategy into play, but they certainly weren't the first to refuel in a pitstop.
True but the races were also a lot longer. Sometimes they raced for 3 and half hours.
Monaco was ALWAYS 100 laps, which in those days meant 3 hour races at the very least.
The 1950 and 51 supercharged Alfa Romeo had a notorious thirst for fuel, even back in the day.
wow, great knowlege man. its almost as if you watched the video and listened to what the guy said, then repeated it in a youtube comment. bravo.
This satrategy is older... Fangio used it in Nurburgring 1957 when his Maserati was heavier and used more fuel than the Ferraris, so his team planed to run with less fuel at start and then refuel and change tires...
I like the commentator. That dry british humor cracks me up.
"...With Patrese's car going very slowly, as thought it wanted to do something. Yes, it wanted to burst into flames."
lmfao
"The French crowd have paid good French francs to see a French car driven by a French driver in the lead in a French circuit, but would've been happier if no other cars had been appearing on the same day. This especially applied to the Brabhams, who had the nerve, on the second lap, to exploit the advantage conferred on them by the master plan of the perfidious Ecclestone."
The commentator is just gold.
Clive James... Genius
this commentator is cracking me up lol piquet raced on while his team mate try to find out how far you can drive a bonfire lol I'm in tears. is it Clive James
Lol the ending was brilliant.
Brabham didn't invent refueling in Grand Prix racing, it was common in the early years. They were however first to refuel in the post war era, and do it tactically rather then by necessity.
These were ground effects cars running sliding skirts. the front wings weren't required. all the downforce was generated under the car which had upside down aircraft wing shaped structures. the faster you go, the more downforce i makes. fron wings disturbed the airflow. ferrari ran the front wings i suspect because they ran a flat 12 that got into the rear airflow and didn't make as much downforce. in the end they banned skirts because the cornering speeds were simply to high
Shame Clive James isn't on the regular F1 broadcast commentary team.
Ah, the great Clive James.
3:20 what a savage XD
it aint the Clive James Show its the 1982 F1 season review narrated by C.J!!
I reckon it'll be ok as they didn't have refuelling like from 1984 or 1985 to 1993 and those were some of the most exciting years of F1.
The commentary is lit
This od GOLD
hahaha what a mad dog commentator. bring him back!
Its amazing how little safety was put in place for the spectators. People were just leaning over the rails waiting to be decapitated.
Just like they still do at any rally and most hill climbs in 2017. I guess people in general have little fear of their own safety, or just have too much confidence in the drivers they are watching.
The commentator should be doing the F1 commentary now!
fucking love clive james!
Commentary +++++++
Salazar could have been commented more:d
Genius!
"Damn you, Salazar!"
This narrator is HI-LA-RI-OUS!
Love the blatant sarcasm in this lol
It's one thing to let Tilke design new tracks, another to let him fuck with one of the best existing in Hockenheim. Or HockenHerm.
"But. Or to put it another way, bu~~t. The BT50 blew its engine, and with locked back wheels, frisbee'd towards the crowd. Which the Lord in His wisdom had placed on a hill with a little grass ha-ha at ground level. Just big enough to stop a racing car going sideways out of control."
and how right he was.
Haha, the commentator sounds like such a deadpan, but, is so funny as well!
