Clay Regazzoni at Österreichring - 1973 (onboard) 

So what?

Millbart Wikipedia who pissed in your cereals?

Oh nice 👍👋

@Claudia Ficicchia could u pls bear with my queries:- suppose u want to be a race driver in F1 Then regarding driving skills, How long does it take to get trained? Does a racer has to be from automobiles background or he can be from any stream or field? I've heard that to be able to drive in F1 you gonna have to start from F4 then gradually rise till level of F1 , is that correct? Will be waitin for ur answers..thanks & best wishes to you , greetings from India 🎉🙂

@@nishiketubhayakar5870 Its all about money nowadays and u have to start karting when you're like 5 years old.

It’s just the FIA, which has become overly safety obsessed, even the fans today do not seen capable of accepting any danger. That’s why classic circuits will never return again, especially when you consider that European “environmental groups“ and NIMBY groups challenge everything no matter how small. I put environmental groups because I think most of the groups challenging things like changes to a track are not interested in protecting the environment, but just blocking anything they believe might generate a tiny bit of temporary hassle.

Beautiful :-)

actually, Pryce wasn't in F1 in 73. he started halfway through 74. so thats either Oliver or Follmer in the Shadow

***** Ha, I am not going to suffer insomnia over this, so I agree with you amigo! Let's say it's Follmer. Good spotting! Thanks.

Luckey Verhoeven no problem! :D I was watching a documentaey about the 70s the other day. The Shadow team made their debut in 1973 and Pryce was hired in the summer of 1974 after Peter Revson had died in Kyalami (ironically)

***** Cheers Mate. But that should be spring 74. Peter died at Kyalami early in the year while testing the Shadow at Kyalami. And yes, it is maddening that Pryce died at the same Track....in a Shadow too. Both Peter and Tom were lovely Men. I met Pryce twice, and you couldn't help but like the man; He was gentle, unassuming and friendly. It was a great Tragedy. But at that time, that was Racing....

And bravery

wacha90 F1 would be nothing if it wasn't for the engineers and as someone who aspires to be one I think the sport is about the whole team, the magical pitcrews the stellar inventors and innovators (engineers) and the heroic drivers

Then you have the 1994 F1 rules.

Even in the 1980s the cars had loads of little stuff to tinker with.

f1 has always been an engineering competitiion. Whats the point otherwise. You could also give them identical cars, but there are several racing series with identical cars. Go watch that if you don't like f1. And all those little adjustments don't make it easier for the driver. In the old days you only had to steer, shift, brake and accelerate. Nowadays you also have to use all your aids in a specific way to maximse the benefit and you have to manage a lot of information. And light cars and huge power sounds fun, but the cars nowadays do have huge power. In fact much more than in 1973. They are heavier but making them lighter would only increase the speeds to dangerous levels. F1 is not fine as it is, but your solution is just plain wrong

F1 has always been an engineers sport. Cooper first mid engine Lotus first monocoque Lotus first engine as stressed member Lotus first wings Lotus first side radiators Brabham first pull rod suspension Lotus first ground effect car Renault first turbo car Brabham first carbon brakes Lotus first carbon chassis Mclaren first coke bottle car Lotus first active suspension car Ferrari first semi automatic gearbox Etc.

same here , I given up on F1 , Schumacher ruined it for me .

@@danielwanner8708 You're sleeping on Max then!

Ferrari too obvious, this sounds better. And in 1971, looking better, and driving better too.

modern cars would take these fast curves you're talking of near flat to easily flat, which absolutely cancels out the bravery and fear factor of back in the day and the dirty air would make it impossible to follow closely. Also, on a track with a lot high speed corners they'd need square miles of runoff to satisfy modern safety standards. None of these things are Tilke's fault. It's simply an overall bad choice to base a new circuit on long, high speed corners. Tilke has created a few incredibly poor tracks, but he's better than people give him credit for. He's just such a low hanging fruit, the easiest of scapegoats.

Clay Regazzoni, Jean Pierre beltoise, and Niki Lauda, BRM

Apparently, the BRM V12 was underpowered and the Cosworths were achieving more or less, the same horsepower and much less weight. The chassis was one of the best according to Niki Lauda.

From what Niki Lauda said in his biography it was a beautiful car to drive, just not very powerful and with the v12 quite heavy so wasn't as fast as the likes of lotus etc. He says he might never have won at ferrari had he not raced the brm first. He said the first ferrari he drove was a pig, and if he hadn't already driven this car he wouldn't have known how bad the ferrari was. So wouldn't have complained and worked so hard to help develop the 312t. Because he already knew a heavy 12 cylinder f1 car could still be made handle like a dream. He also said he began to lose interest when brabham went to the cosworth engines for a better ground effect car, having until then spent his entire career with 12 cylinder f1 cars (brm v12, ferrari flat 12 and alfa romeo flat 12 and v12). Which brought about his first retirement from f1.

MyMistakesOfficial wat?

Can you not see him blatantly changing gear with his right hand?

I agree

***** Okay, awesomeness has more than 1 meaning, which one do you mean?

***** I meant race tracks, engineering freedom, danger/risk, less other dumb racing rules.

***** Haha, we meant 2 quite different statement. But what the FIA is doing with the restrictions makes F1 less awesome. Rivalries doesn't really come with regulations. I know spectatorship was roughly the same almost in every age just like passion.

I actually prefer the 70s/80s over all the other years. faster cars than earlier and not really any extra safety.

Máté Ágoston Agree with all of them except for the fact that the 60s were not better than the 70s. The latter were so epic, and the 60s was kind of a transition/boring period

Australia, Canada, Brazil, Monaco, Silverstone and spa are really nice.

to be fair tracks like that these days would be a procession. There's little to no overtaking in sector 2 of spa for example. This whole old layout looks like spa's second sector...

+Kim Il-sung They are still dulls compared to history.

Borsófőzelék Piskótakockával How is Spa and Brazil dull?

Kim Il-sung I know many historical tracks. Not only from F1. Have you ever heard about Pescara, Bremgarten, Solitude-Ring, Schottenring, Masaryk Circuit, Targa Florio, Snaefell Mountain Course? I know they are made of closed roads, but they were race tracks too.

😂🤣😂🤣😂

It wasn't boring and it was one of the fastest circuits on the planet. The Austrian GP frequently produced a surprise winner in the days of the Oesterreichring. There were some really nasty approaches, like the Hella Licht bend (where Mark Donohue crashed). Niki Lauda rated it one of the hardest corners in F1.

This comment is demonstrating why we feel sorry for the younger generation who don't know any better. Thank god this track had no "corners" but curves. Unlike today's circuits ("Mickey Mouse" circuits as James Hunt would have called them) built with slow artificial corners and flat as a billiard table, best tracks of yore had 200kph curves with bumps and elevation changes across real terrain. Osterreichring was one of the best. No second gear "corners", but curves taken flat in 4th, 5th gears. Cars with very little downforce and so much less tyre grip than nowadays, 4-wheel drifting gracefully, driven by men with balls literally balancing their life with their throttle. Look for a photo of Gilles Villeneuve exiting the 250kph Hella Licht curve (last corner onto the straight) drifting with his rear tyre about 2 inches from the outside armco..
