I still remember when Enzo Ferrari died. An extremely sad day not only for motor racing but for motoring in general. And with a bit of help from a Mercedes sportscar driver and a somewhat fool hardy McLaren driver (fool hardy at the time)......his beloved scarlet cars finished 1-2 in the first Italian GP following his passing in the most fitting of tributes.
@@techtipsuk Bullshit. As Murray said, he was the ultimate racing enthusiast. He wasn't a half bad racing driver in his younger days either, and then he built Ferrari, the racing car company, for the purpose of advancing motor racing. Ferrari is the essence of racing - the heritage speaks for itself.
250 GT Omologata , the truth is that the acronym didn't have a true official meaning. But, on 288 the acronym was called back because the car was meant for group B racing, even if the things evolved differently
Well there we have it guys; Ferrari himself valued Nuvolari, Collins and Moss as the best drivers he ever saw (during his racing involvement 1924-1987). That is a pretty hard list to be on, given how demanding he was with his drivers when he led his teams.
@@gdevrient1 maybe, but I think Ascari was better tbh. He just never had chance to show it. He still is only driver to win every race he entered in season(1952)
The shot of the Mille Miglia at around 1:50 shows an element of racing long gone. Namely, racing on open public roads. Personally, I would like this aspect introduced in Formula One. How much more exciting would the highest class of motor sports be if the drivers had to contend with the 96 tram to St Kilda?
There were way too many incidents where the spectators got injured or killed. That's what killed Group B in Rally e.g. The last racing on roads is road racing mainly in Ireland and that can continue due to that's it's way easier to contain a motor bike in case of an accident.
I’ve been a Ferrari fan since around this time and nothings changed. Still a lot of new people coming in on a regular basis and next year we’re gona win. Only we don’t so bring in more new people. God I miss the Schumacher days
1987 car reveal: "roll car out of garage and show it to press" 2024 car reveal: "I'm sorry we couldn't get Beyonce to perform at the car reveal this year sir, what do you think we approach Miley Cyrus and ask her to ride a prancing horse onto the stage?"
It is always entertaining to read the resentful, even spiteful comments every video about Enzo seems to arouse among some (few, luckily) British and American YTers!
The question asked to Mr.Ferrari was which of his drivers was the best. The top drivers that did not drive for Ferrari would include Senna and Clark. Who i think were the most talented drivers that ever lived.
Ferrari Racing under Enzo Ferrari was better in that era in my opinion, likewise the road cars while he was alive, when there was hardly any merchandising and the cars were glamourous and small dimensioned, with no driver aids, instead of the plasticky interiors and computer aids to flatter owners driving.
Because F1 is all about money and drama, they couldn't care less about the fans..............It's a rich mans race, always has been, and unless you have deep pockets your not welcome, let alone acknowledged. While I am NOT a NASCAR fan, F1 could learn a lot from it..............Fans are front and center, and it's not uncommon to rub shoulders with the crew or drivers and simply say "hello". Nascar realizes, that without it's fans it's bankrupt. Unless fans fill the seats, buy the tickets and merchandise their all unemployed.
When I read Murray, I think Gordon Murray. The genial engineer . You probably are left brain driven , technical and probably analytical and objective. If you read Murray and think firstly about Murray Walker then you probably think have a chauvinist British bias like the very popular but absolutely not technical Murray Walker. Thankfully he had James Hunt and John Watson to do that part of the job. Murray Walker for the random British guy watching F1, Hunt and Watson comments for the passionate fan of F1.
Or you're someone who uses basic logic to deduce that it's far more likely the guy who worked in television and radio for over 50 years to be the one conducting the interview.
Well let’s put it this way, when you have drivers that walk away - like Gurney, P. Hill, Surtees, Lauda and even Villeneuve was on his way out - that tends to say something about the Ferrari organization if not the man himself. He certainly can be praised for what he contributed to the sport. His handling of his operations however can be assessed to have been just as detrimental as was successful with regards to the results. His method of running things was at times far from being anything constructive to maintain competitiveness in the highest level of motorsports. Which finally caught up to him during the 1982 Imola crisis - ultimately leading to his downfall for the remainder of his days.
A Ferrari designed in England...how stupid and outrageus could be this thing? Problably also Enzo Ferrari at the end of the life left reason...only after the end of this stupid idea (thanks Montezemolo) Ferrari retourns to victory
mjrock27god you forget Harvey Poslthwaite (an Englishman) designed the Ferraris for last 4 years before Barnard took over. Two constructors titles in 82/83 were the last won until 1999. Enzo Ferrari wanted to break the drought, and if he couldn't beat the McLaren/Williams monopoly, he'd join them (employ their chief designer).
