Just found a piece of a real f.1 race!!!

Real cars, real passing. Thanks for posting Pedro.

 

Stewarts flag 3 times, 20 min penalty, no dinner for them.
And a very stern warning

 

Watching those guys going at it in the corners like that, I wonder.

Guys like Verstappen when he first hit F1, Kvyat when he earned the nickname ‘Torpedo’, Grosjean before he got his time out to go away and calm down... would any of them have survived that era? Or put another way, did the dramatic safety improvements in the last 20 years give those guys a sense of invincibility?

Today, someone throwing the car deep up the inside knows if it goes wrong, he’s going to crash, be out of the race and get ripped in the press. 30 years ago the same moves we see almost every weekend today would have you leaving the circuit feet first.

Don’t get me wrong. The safety improvements are fantastic and I would never want to go back to the bloody days of F1! But as a related consequence have we seen a reduction in - I’m not sure what to call it, respect perhaps?

 

Brings up the thought::

If there were a little and controllable amount of underbody aerodynamics, we could get rid of all the hideous stuff on top of these car today.

It also points out that Villeneuve was not thinking after Lauda passed and ruined his own race.

 

Go me out of my seat, oh those were the days.

Imagine the in car commentary if that was F1 today.......mind you I would loved to have heard it during that spat, most would have been bleeped out I guess!

 

this is too dangerous for 2019, nobody can race but only drive to the finish following each other
