Nice to see some old videos from old days. Drivers GLADIATORS, cars screaming around the track, old layouts with consequences, so you need balls to be brave. But every single time I watch F1 from 1994, I am missing something 😪.
Damon Hill in no means was as fast as Senna and definitely got gifted the title with the best car in 1996 but Ferrari 412t1 had 860hp out of its v12 engine that season which is crazy considering the next years car had 160hp less... I think that was the sole reason they ran so well In Monza and Hockenheim
@@cay7809 it was specifically modified after Senna's request to have more comfort driving - only after that mod. the column was moving as much. Never happend before, to that degree, in any f1 car.
In a way Monza and Imola were/are very similar circuits: both built into some kind of park, fast bends, straights and chicanes, Marlboro logos on curbs, etc. The start of Monza - Curva Grande - Lesmo part is also a bit like a mirror image of Tamburello - Tosa, although with the difference that Tamburello (and Villeneuve) was easily driven flat out, so it was thought that chicanes were not needed - up to 1994. Just to be sure, after '94 they also modified Curva Grande to get more run-off area, even though there already were chicanes before and after it.
How and why Senna died and crashed at imola is unbelievable to see David Colter David Hill still racing why Senna is dead makes no sense to me, such an unfortunate tragedy for one of the best race car drivers ever I'll never forget that day unbelievable
@@vain_11 Patrese retired in '93 no? And Senna was given offers by Ferrari team boss at Imola '94 for a seat at Ferrari in 1995; since Senna wanted to finish his career at Ferrari no matter what. But maybe the improvement made to the car at Imola would have kept him there. Nobody knows. But I doubt they wanted to get rid of Hill since he knew every Williams car since 1991 very well and he was 6 years younger than Patrese.
