Graham Hill has yo be the coolest F1 driver ever. Not only could he out drive you, but st the end of the race dueling pistols, swords, or out Bonding James Bond he had it all. And that is not mentioning the fact he had the sharpest wit of any man involved in F1.
I was at the Nurburgring in 1967 when Denny Hulme won the race. However what I remember about that weekend is not the race itself, but what to me is one of Jim Clark's greatest moments - his qualifying run. He qualified about 10 seconds (!) faster than Denny, who was second. Although Clark was only visible to me for a couple of seconds at the corner where I was situated, you could just 'see' that he had something that none of the other greats of the day possessed. And of course, young Jacky Ickx 'announced' his arrival by qualifying third in his F2 car.
I stumbled upon this presentation of the legends of my boyhood. Thanks so much for preserving and sharing this fantastic footage, and for the excellent narration. The transition to rear-engine, portrayed so dramatically here, transformed F1. That this configuration took the lives of the most brilliant of drivers from Jim Clark to Ayrton Senna indicates that should anything go wrong, there is simply no time to recover. This brings to mind the old saw that if you get to choose between being lucky and being smart, choose lucky every time. I'm sure Moss and Fangio would agree.
What gets me is how seriously tiny these machines got in the 60s and well into the new millennium. I just recently saw a bunch of Moss's cars as well as a couple lotus 79s and 2 march cars (of the same vintage) and I couldn't believe how little room there was for a driver whilst only protecting him with panels that most people could punch through. True heroes, or complete madmen. Either way, they deserve our total respect.
I appreciate both and respect anyone with the dedication and skill to be at the top of their respective sport be it racing or what the modern generation calls action sports.
I always considerd Fangio to be the greatest F1 driver. It wasn't an unsafe choice to make since he had more World Championship titles than any one else and from a very dangerous era. Obviously there is room for debate with a sweep one year by Ascari. Then Shumacher kind of settled it in my mind because the World titles carry a lot of weight in forming my opinion . What a shame that Micheal Schumacher is by all accounts unable to even be cognizant of that fact.
How ironic, Moss is describing all these guys that he slayed on a regular basis yet he was never World Champion. He was in a different league from all them (except Fangio) until his near fatal crash and subsequent retirement. In '61 he was the only driver to beat the Ferraris and he did it in an underpowered Lotus. Even Jimmy Clark couldn't stay with him.
An era where not only the dangers were greater, but so were the race distances back then. It wasn't uncommon for them travelling over 300 miles in the 1950's and over 250 miles in the 60's, to complete these events. Aside from skill and mental concentration, quite a bit of stamina was required back then.
Nick Richard You're right of course - it took huge physical strength and endurance to manhandle the old front-engined cars especially. And the drivers of that era tended to be more bon vivants than athletes. Recently I watched a documentary about a year in the life of a present-day junior McLaren driver. This guy trained during the off-season at the level of an Olympic middle-distance runner. At the beginning of the new season he was at optimal fitness. But McLaren's engineers couldn't get the aero right and the car was not competitive. I would venture that despite the advances in technology - or more likely because of them - the life of a modern-age F1 driver is tougher than it's ever been. He must be single-minded to the point of obsession, as well as tremendously gifted and possessed of the charisma that exudes star quality, so important to the sponsors. When we see parents planning out their sons' careers in intricate detail from kindergarten age onwards, we must wonder what their motivations are. Never would I want my son to be a modern-day F1 driver.
I think drivers today are better skilled and definitely more fit. One thing I love about these drivers is that they don't engage in too much politics, massive politicking began in the 80's with Prost, Senna, Piquet and continues to this day with Alonso, to be fair it's really just Alonso engaged in it before it was MSC and him.
There are no visible sponsors until 1970. There was money involved, just not so blatant as today. The president 1970 cars and drivers are what I grew up with.
Yes. Jacky Ickx was only 5 points behind, of course Ickx did most of his winning after Rindt had passed away. Also Rindt won in Monaco 1970 using the 4 year old Lotus 49, which first raced in the 1967 season. Of course Jack Brabham running out of fuel while leading on the final lap helped too...
Un bon complément de la littérature existante afin de mieux comprendre encore l'évolution de la course automobile et plus particulièrement des courses de monoplace de type formule 1
... can we talk about the fact that the 60s cars were literally taking flight on the nurburgring... its LITERALLY not even possible for a modern f1 car to take off like that... talk about no downforce
@Skrimpish Well, yes and no. Brabham cars introduced many features of F1 design that are still today prevalent; however, the first mid-engined F1 car (to score a win) was the Cooper T43, 2 years before Brabham MRD was founded.
In fact they were fast enough to fly if what you said is true. At Reims, 1951, the Alfettas reached an average of 310Km/h in the last straight, with 425HP. And the BRM P15 of 1952 "Formula Libre" had 620HP. Any 67 F-1 car had more than 400HP and 310Km/h top speed. And before WW2 at Avus, 1937, the maximum speed was of ... 390! with more than 700HP.
i do agree that racing was more spectacular when it was more dangerous, but if it wouldve been more safe, there wouldnt be so many deaths of great drivers (von Tripps, Clark, Hill, Rindt, Ascari...)
The car were big but far from wide,they were actually very narrow,like have the ones of today.The cars were big because of that wheel sized steering wheel...
@xShangTsungx It was amazing indeed. But the whole trend of belittling current F1 is driving me crazy. Not necessarily talking about you. But people really should get their asses in a modern F1, even one from the late 90's would do the job, and feel the immense braking power, immense cornering G's and so on. Classic F1 cars were probably harder to keep on track, but performing at the limit in current F1 cars is so much harsher on the body. People should all think about it.
The guys are competing in a hat and a t-shirt, 😱
it's truly incredible. these guys were real heroes👍😞

That's a really nice compilation.

Those men were crazy to drive on these cars that fast...
nice footage, thank you

Boy, those '50s machines: skinny tires, big steering wheels---and drivers with massive forearms from the constant adjustments of "the line."
This was real racing!
Great history lesson
love the sound of of those cars
Sir Stirling Moss narrating :D These were awesome days. True heroes these guys were

These guys had unlimited balls
Makes you wish time-travelling was possible...
Thanks for the vid!
brilliant video.
Superb stuff.
More than 150mph+ drifting out of a turn, now thats skills
That's pure mastery
What is onboard doing in this video.
Legends all. But for me FANGIO and CLARK are the two who stand out above the rest .
reliquia.. obrigado
FANGIO, JUAN MANUEL 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Brilliant!!!!
Man the sound of those old engines! 400 hp in the 50s?!

150 in a corner. An F1 car could do 190 but I doubt a LaFerrari could do it as quickly as Fangio. Camber,weight and balance count for a lot.
They exhumed Fangio a little while ago, and he was still a faster driver than me

so basically jack brabham is the father of modern f1 design...
The car were big but far from wide,they were actually very narrow,like have the ones of today.The cars were big because of that wheel sized steering wheel...
no, this time to yet, but they came sometime in the 60s as the beginning of the 70s

Yup definitely Stirling...reading from a script it sounds like!

Without a doubt.

The first one is, and then its Jackie Stewart
Absolutely
Right, that's Monaco. I recognize it from the 1966 film "Grand Prix". I doubt it's changed at all since the 60's
Apart from crash barriers throughout, and new buildings everywhere, like at the two hairpins ?
