To me this was the golden age of F1. I can remember some great scraps between Piquet, Mansell, Prost, Senna, Berger just awesome, that's when they were allowed to race

There’s just something so amazing about the sounds these 80s turbo f1 cars make. There’s such a unique sound you get from upshifts downshifts from a manual box, with the sound sound of the backfires caused by the belching flames out the back.

Going on my personal taste in F1 car design I would say that the cars from 1985-1994 were the most beautiful (especially the Ferrari's from 1989 and 1990 which, in my opinion, are THE most beautiful F1 cars of all time. They are aesthetically perfect. Even the MOMA in NYC has one on display which says a lot about how good a car looks if an art museum displays it). After 1994 aero started to really change with pace, combine that with the awful grooved tyres and reduced car width and it spelt the end of the aesthetically pure F1 car design. Though I must say that the cars from the mid 60s were gorgeous too, especially the Ferrari 312 with the white exhausts. That Ferrari 312 from 1967 is my second favourite F1 car in terms of pure beauty.

This is possibly the test where Keke Rosberg worked with john Barnard to 'dial out' the understeer on the McLaren and for the first time Rosberg was quicker than Prost.
@bbbccc9813
3 жыл бұрын
If Barnard bothered do fix the understeer Keke Rosberg would have won a GP in 1986'. He had a very specific driving style where he would just throw the car into a corner and let the back follow. John Barnard didn't like him because they were completely different. Keke was a loose party boy and Barnard is a typical boring posh brit. Keke said the first time his car worked properly to his liking was at the last race of the season. And guess what? He led the race by a mile until his tyre gave out. Keke was my favorite driver of the era. Underrated and always on the raged edge. I wish he stayed in Williams for 1986 he would have won the championship easily instead of making a mess of it like Mansell. I consider him to be the fastest driver in F1 from 83' until 85'. What a shame we couldn't see more of him. He never had the best car in his career and Mclaren that Prost won the title with was showing its age and brilliant as Prost was he only won because Piquet and Mansell were behaving like children that season...

Thank you so much Mr. Price! I spent many seasons at Watkin's Glen & Mosport watching F1 in the 70's (college age) and them again in Montreal in the early 90's where I got to see The Michael in action. You could get right up to track then and into the garages as well. But I missed the 80's so I feel fortunate that so many youtubers have posted these events! Than you, thank you. This is absolutely how the TV producers of today should televise racing of all forms instead of the lame long camera lenses, with non stop commentary (although I could listen to Murray Walker & James Hunt all day). This sport is all about speed, bravery and LOUD sound. Modern TV has missed the mark and they can take a lesson from your sort of filming!
