4:56 this engine was a real electric 🎸 it’s one of my fav (with Ferrari and Renault maybe Honda) V8 sound with TC.. love it miss this era of good sound gave me shivers throughout my whole childhood ! 🏎️
As hard as it must have been to race these cars with all the challenges not to mention the danger, it must have also been a pleasure to have that glorious sound behind you for 2 hours!
JPM was a Menace. Too hot headed sometimes, but he was absolutely fearless and driving the wheels off that thing. Everytime he stepped in that car he was ready to win it or bin it. In the early 2000s, as a german ofc i was a Schumacher fan and i "hated" JPM, but rewatching all of the V10 era now, i guess JPM, alongside Fernando are my fav drivers now. Just all in, all day everyday.
this williams in Silverstone was completely overpowered. Prost sacrifing a lot of corners trying to break through while Senna was protecting the best lines with everything he got, but in the next straight Prost was all over him again like nothing happened.
The fact that we now have this exact sound for various FW19 mods on Assetto Corsa is nothing short of incredible. One of the best sounding engines of all time imo.
If this thing had modern slicks on it, then it would probably be the fastest car in F1 history. Even better than the F2004 on slicks. The fact that the race lap record at Bahrain is still held by Pedro de la Rosa in the MP4-20 even 19 years later proves this.
2:36 when mansell turns in the car bottoms out. Darn this goes dead straight. This car had active suspension, not like the one senna ended up driving. Its a little scary seeing this machine move. The car recalibrates in the corner unnaturally from the way a normal spring would. It dips and rises and dives and turns. Its uncanny. Totally incredible. Mansell said you had to throw it into a corner at full speed and trust the computer. This chassis just doesnt work without the active suspension. I just realized there is more clues to sennas accident in the characteristics of this car.
It's funny that, at least listening to the onboard, this Williams' engine looks a lot like the engines of the hybrid era that are so criticized for their lack of noise.
