Marco Werner takes out Jean Alesi after thrilling battle for first in Monaco Historique 2021! 

its brilliant!

balls

i was thinking the same thing.

not like a helmet is going to do much if he gets hit lol

Cool of them to call it station hairpin the whole time too.

They will get repaired, will take some time and effort (and money), but they will be repaired. If you can, book a visit to the Classis Team Lotus workshop in Hethel, best thing you can do if you are into vintage F1!

technology is old parts and enguinity is of current generation so chill

I dont mind if they crash just because it shows you that theyre being pushed and enjoyed

@@grossmeister1181 Yeah, I should think they will be restored to their former glroy it's just that some people would rather treat them as holy ornaments then racing machines. They don't belong in a museum, they belong on a race track in my opinion.

Yeah but I dont think you lot get the point tho it ain't about these vintage cars that can or can not be repaired it's because of you probably can't get the parts for these cars anymore or if you can you'll have to get them specially made and that ain't cheap

Fora simple reason: cars of mid-70s did not have carbon fibre

@@gufo_tave I know, aluminium... slightest touch from today's cars and you have confetti all over the place 😁

alec, that's too subtle for the internet. People only recognize a joke if it is followed by laughing emojis and lols.

@@mvm9407 Haha, true!

I bet the driver really felt that... Gonna be sore in morning.

This. ☝️ AMEN! Adelaide with these cars would also be AWESOME to watch. Beats the modern days "F1 World Championship" by large.

Me to

Me also..

Me to

Its called rewatching old f1 seasons lol

i think it was an Ohh!! from seeing the damaged rear wing

That got me too

@@jp2654361 yes ! this historic faboulus car !!!

I think he was about to disconnect the HANS device and just decided against it.

How are these races legal? The safety is nonexistent!

@@randompalmtopgaming7541 There's plenty of safety, they use modern safety equipment and the cars aren't all to dangerous on a track like this

@@randompalmtopgaming7541 If this seems dangerous look at Goodwood historic racing, they race all sorts of classics including pre war grand Prix cars

Everyone vs. Ferrari.

Don't worry netflix are on it. This race would probably take up an hour of the run time

Can't see 2021 F1 cars doing Monaco in 70 years.. firmware out of date or some such

At least there was no s🅱️inalla

@@chilidrummer8333 there was a half s🅱️inalla

Neither3can Alesi.

Certainly not Alesi in a Ferrari lol.

@@newwave8078 non ti esaurire dietro a questi, quando la ferrari tornerà staranno zitti una volta per tutte

Absolutely, looks really entertaining

Good

It takes some serious cojones to throw these magnificently beautiful 40+ year old beasts around at 10/10ths! Marco Werner has clearly figured it out.

If they were not what would be the point, it was awesome that they raced! :) whoever came with this idea should be blessed and thanked for.

@@KenNakajima07 , 100% love this The only glimpse of what racing was in the 70s with a good camera and good angles unlike before

Yes it is, so sad though

I was at the Montreal race when he won. Seems I’ve still seen his only win in a Ferrari F1 car. 😢

They're insured anyway.

It will be up and running again next week. Hurts a more to see them in museums.

At least they are on track.

They're being used what they were made to be used

Those cars are to race

RIP legend

RIP, the greatest commentator

and jean ales- OH MY GOOD NESSS , JEEN...I MEAN JOHN ALESI HAS IT THW WALL!! OHH!!!!

Deepfake

no hes dead mate

It's next to impossible overtaking with modern cars in Monaco. You can tell the size difference by glancing alone. Modern cars are bigger and longer than the cars from yesteryears.

Just seeing the ass end sliding around under power is awesome

@@manchesterunitedno7 70's cars are wider than modern cars by 15cm, 215cm max width vs 200cm max width in 2021.

@@TassieLorenzo Modern cars are much longer than 70s cars though it is much harder to overtake on street circuits with modern cars.

Modern F1 fans have no clue of what racing is. This was before the downforce era, where cars could race tightly without worry of dirty air.

Hamilton destroys Senna.

you cant compare them

@@racecardriverrr4201 right. Senna had his career cut short. You can't compare them at all

kolysion shut up Hamilton fan girl

@@kolysion164 Senna would’ve been the undisputed GOAT in F1 had he not had his career cut short. Still think Senna is better than Hamilton. Jim Clark is probably the best driver overall but it’s hard to compare different eras and cars.

he hasn`t lost his fire, but he hasn`t also lost his bad luck

it's rather a good summary of the mentality of German pilots

R u sure about that? The lotus got a 15 sec penalty after the race and ended up third?

@@amanwholikescars I actually didn't know that ....Thanks for informing me, but regardless of the penalty at the end .....that type of battle is what most F1 fans (including myself) miss about the sport. Nowadays it's all just bureaucracy and the penalty you speak of just proves it.

@@MumbiYamba yeah the lotus got a 15 sec time penalty for someone else missing a gear and crashing, but in the next race the liger that tried to overtake at rasscass and launched a car didnt.... yeah it was pretty bs.

@@herozero8809 Consistency missing, unfortunately...

I know right? This race was outstanding and thrilling compared to modern Grand Prix. It was so much more excitement. You could see the drivers struggle and trying to keep the cars on track. Today you see them pressing a lot of buttons instead, while a vaccuum cleaner engine is in their back.

nice thank you never knew

This is a beautiful statement about the classic F1 driver.

for what? it wasn't their coverage

@@ba55bar ik but I did not know that there was this event. So I checked sky and I saw it

STOP IT SKY BEEN RIPPING YOU OFF FOR YEARS

F1: We need more fans from younger generations Sky: Not before we price them out with our subscription fees

you're right it was incredible racing with incredible cars!

Helmet off as well. Nowadays that's a yellow/red flag event.

@@GK-qc5ry And a race ban xD

If F1 cars looked like this and diced like this I'd be still watching haven't watched since 2012 must look into going to an historic Race

@@seamusblack5876 It's well worth it (when we're allowed to....) I watched this exact Lotus being raced by Marco Werner last year in the GP Masters series, and he also did time attack at Goodwood with it. The later Essex Lotus, Ligier, Ensigns, and the early pre-war GP and 50's sportscars are regulars all around Europe.

@@seamusblack5876 Why would you leave after probably the best season in F1? And this race was very boring after the crash and even before it was just two cars lapping the whole field lol

Ah was waiting for this comment, knew some nostalgia merchant wouldn't disappoint.

Dont want to say Alesi is a bad driver, nor do I want to say that I could do better, but in this case he missed probably a gear, so he was slowing down and the Lotus was so close behind him, he had little to no reaction time. When you see the onboards of Alesi, you see him struggle a few times with the gearbox. Again, dont want to say Alesi is a bad driver. Could have also been the gearbox itself that was not happy for some reason, like too hot oil temperature, or mechanical error.

@@Gentleman...Driver he's not a bad driver, he's just old

His only win there? It was his only win anywhere.

Whole race was like this highlights video :)

The battle between Max and Lewis in Bahrain was pretty good, and there was a good Monaco race when Lewis was on fading tyres with Daniel trying to get past for many laps. There are still gems in modern racing.

Very unfortunately, your statement didn't age well at all. F1 in 2021-2024 has become a highly predictable snooze fest that is almost unwatchable.

Yes, his single F1 win for an entire career was utterly 'spectacular'....SMH

When Lyons put the trophy on Werner’s lotus was the greatest sportsmanship I’ve seen in motorsport, I hope Micheal keeps up the great racing,

@@Rossi_Gamer Aye, I admit to getting a bit choked up watching the cup and the watch handoff. Keeping the wreath was cool. Class act in my book.

@@jessefurqueron5555 can’t lie I felt the same, wasn’t expecting it... made my day though :-)

Yeah, it seems to be a big t of a missed shift, and Werner, followed ng too close, is unable to swerve away in time, sending Alesi to the barrier. Werner seemed to be upset with how the lead battle ended. On the podium celebrations, he didn't take his step on the podium, instead, he stood behind the podium.

Yes exactly, the close, no nonsense racing that is best, it was just a shame many men died because of lax safety regulations

All on his own to, just like every other Leclerc crash

​@marcpaola1371 the brake disc exploded

Not to mention the reaction of Enzo Ferrari himself! Rolling over in his grave.

he's a looser, he was slower any way than Marco...

shut up mate

Pretty sure he missed a shift.

@@andres-gu8yu I'm pretty sure we hear the gear pass... but right after that we hear the engine reving because Marco is lifting his rear.

luckily the damage doesn't seem too bad, and these cars are always getting new parts anyways to keep fia compliance

It will be even worst after 2022

Unlikely. When these cars raced the sport drove the show ....... now the show drives the sport. Liberty is too clueless and too interested in making money to care about true competition, true innovation or any semblance of relevance in F1

Then my heart crack

@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT then my heart, will never come back.

It will be racing again, probably by the next round of historic racing. Theses cars have been damaged many times before.

@@gpaje damn, had no idea you can still repair these amazing old cars

@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT Absolutely, a whole cottage industry in historic racing that keeps these cars running and repaired between races. Not just for F1, but all sorts of different classes.

Nope, the car is worth millions. It will be repaired this weekend with the spares they carry around, probably for the price of a few tens of thousands

Nah, that's a pretty cheap repair compared to the price of the car, probably just a few Ks

Those are racing cars: damage is quite expected even when you are not racing with them

at least ground effect will be back next year, the cars will also be smaller, i hope that gives something close to this

If they're stuck 3 seconds behind then they're not fast enough to catch the car in front, at 3 seconds the slipstream is more valuable than the loss in downforce, that's why they have 2-3 second gaps when they tow at Monza/Spa for example.

Or an overtake with DRS.

From what I´ve read, Jean missed a gear shift and the car "broke" (can´t remember the word but the engine blocked)

@@laso8608 I guess "stalled" is the word you're looking for? not sure

@@FirstName69 Yes stalled. Thank you. It is kinda noticeable after the apex because Werner made up so much time

But these old cars are so unsafety. Also for drives these cars are so hard. However driver need pure talent so money can not buy anything like 2021 ( mazespin and stroll )

You've watched 3 minute clip of old cars racing on a modern track so now you think you know what F1 in the 1970s was like. LMAO. Go back to Drive to Survive, mate.

@@kityhawk2000 I watched the race(s) at whole. I just wonder why so angry

@@kityhawk2000 chill, u probably think that today’s f1 is better than in the glory days because of “technological advancements”

Absolutely, the first two times he went up the back of Alesi weren't enough for him to learn to leave a little space. There was no need for it in a historic gp, I reckon he just had his ego on and wanted to beat Alesi who actually made it to F1 while he never could.

@@bizarrefruit9133 👍

He didn´t miss a gear? So why is someone able to crash into a car on a straight line when he is going full speed? Right... this is impossible! If he didn´t had a misshift, he must have hit on the brakes. BTW: They wen´t racing. So you have to race a race, this is not a parade drive.

@@Paolo_Pinkas747 because he couldn't pass him on the straight, so he tried to stay behind and when changing gear, the Lotus slipped under the Ferrari... just look at the cameracar... and it had already happened two other times! also at the chicane after the tunnel

3) I cant stop hearing Murray's voice god I miss him

Then I guess you haven’t watched this years season opening in Bahrain and the second race in Imola. Super close race and crashes everywhere

@@Barbosa81 That doesn't mean that the previous hybrid years weren't rubbish (more or less), so he's right. :)

@@Ali007572 Not exactly true. Most of the Historical GP week was literally spent trying to follow each other, while the rest of the field get blue flagged by the top 2 or 3 cars..something that's just as common in the hybrid era with the exception of maybe 2016 or these last 2 race weeks.

@@DrSabot-A Yeah right they always find a way to complain when this race was just a two horse race and Alesi was holding the Lotus back. The 80s race was also like that

Old cars and racing plus today's blindly punitive rules and appliance. Et voilà!

umm... he ran into the back of him about a third of the way down the straight.... Werner is a former pro... the ONLY excuse you can give Werner is his lack of experience in all things F1. But to say it was inevitable is a joke, there was ample time to pull out but he wanted to ride the slipstream and probably was not aware of where the tip of his nose was given (as prev mentioned) his lack of F1 experience and the fact the nose on that car is about 1mm off the floor.

@@V8HiluxZX6R you're an idiot. They were going wheel to wheel through that corner the whole race and never even made the slightest contact. Alessi missed a gear causing him to drop a bunch of speed, not giving Werner any time to dodge

@@V8HiluxZX6R This accident happened immediately after the final corner exit. End of. Now Werner has a very clean racing record he was never penalised in his career. So therefore you can't say he did this on purpose, it's not in him clearly. So why would he do it now. And for Alesi this sums up his F1 career. Full of promise and nothing to show for it. I firmly believe that Alesi missed a gear change that's why he was so slow out of the exit. There wasn't anyway Werner could avoid the accident. So that's why I feel sorry for him. If Werner wasn't there Alesi would of lost alot of time to Werner that lap. But because Werner was there rightly or wrongly he had to be penalised because Alesi wouldn't of crashed. But the only time we saw the official's penalise a driver for knocking off an opponent this weekend was this incident. Seems like politics could involved. Full of sympathy for both drivers and it feels wrong to say its Werner's fault therefore when other drivers on Sunday got away with it. And the way he acted confirmed that he felt he didn't do it on purpose. It was a nice touch that Lyons gave his winners trophy to Werner later.

Are you even watching the same video? Contact was made just prior to the start of the grid slots not on the exit of the corner... there was ample time for a driver of his calibre to move out the way... I never said he did it on purpose just that a lack of experience in F1 cars of all era's may have contributed. I mean, I know the start/finish straight isn't really a straight but to say contact was made on corner exit...🤦‍♂️

@@V8HiluxZX6R I watched this thrilling battle live on tv - the Marco Werner JPS was nearly 2 seconds faster in qualifying than Jean Alessi's Ferrari however Jean blasted off at the start and took the lead at the 1st corner. Marco then spent 15 laps trying to pass Jean at every opportunity. Two of the better attempts were stopped by Jean placing his car in the right place, other Marco attempts were in places where it was impossible to pass and nearly hitting the Ferrari on several occasions - on one occasion he did hit the Ferrari. Marco appeared to get really desperate to pass Jean knowing he had a much faster car. I thought that he simply misjudged how fast he was gaining on the Ferrari as they left La Rasscase and his nose went under the Ferraris gearbox lifting the rear wheels causing them to spin up (black lines on the track) before the Ferrari slewed to the right and into the wall. I thought it was entirely Marco Werners fault and his "surprise" and being given a penalty for punting the leader off the track was amazing and then his attitude on the rostrum wasnt good. Lyons was that far behind I dont know how he thought that Marco was "the real winner". Gutted for Jean who hadnt driven that car before and was a class act.

He was, init? Shame about this incident...must be guttered. Does feel reminiscent of his Ferrari days, often battling cars faster than his 412T2...that V12 though...

As always, Alesi is unfortunate at Ferrari. Especially at Monaco.

Didn't you watch Monaco 2016 even 2018 was nice

@@BB-rj7vb Not near as spectacular in modern cars.

reincarnated as the haas of a few years ago

They have to be big at least in the front for the crash structure. The width of the cars has been the same since the 90s. They have too much artificial length in the back though.

Nobody passed nobody during that race it was the same procession lol

@@FirstName69 Nope. in '98 they changed them from 2m to 1.8m width. They only went back up to 2m wide in 2017.

Wrong he was rear hit. Maybe no intention but still...

Fortnite Player iOS - I never said, Alesi wasn't rear hit. My point is: Throughout the entire race, Marco wasn't able to follow the Ferrari on the main straight due to a lack of Cosworth power vs the Ferrari 's prancing horses. So which afterburner could Marco have ignited to all of a sudden have that much excess speed? Alesi must have had a problem - technically or human mistake.

@@ulliandree1129 What about the other two times Werner rear-ended Alesi in the same race?

2021 will be an incredible season and already has been, no need to rant anymore

@@forza3943 fr. I understand the complaints about previous seasons but this year we have a driver and constructors championship battle on our hands and pretty much anyone in the midfield is competitive.

Lol @ above comments
