Niki Lauda's revenge! Ferrari 1977 Review Formula 1 

He was a tough man that's for sure, legend.

A true legend of a character and driver

Peterson was indeed quicker and in my eyes deserved a F1 championship in his career. Lauda was a more complete driver technically speaking in developing a car and he also mastered the political aspects outside the car. I love Ronnie and Niki ❤️

​@@ClassicFormulaOne1 Jackie Stewart, Fittipaldi, Lauda etc, were in awe of Peterson. He was a nice, humble man too. His car control, the ability to drift a car, without losing speed, was a unique ability, no other driver had. Peterson, was however, a little too hard on his machinery and at times he lacked motivation and possibly fitness too. At his very best, he was unmatched. Even the greatest driver, such as Clark, Senna and Fangio wouldn't have beaten him on his day. In the 1972 season, Peterson was driving the STP March, a terrible car. Still, at the Nürburgring, Peterson put it 4th on the grid, with a 7:11:600. Lauda in the other March qualified 24th with a 7:32:200. Lauda wasn't suffering from any issues, it was a similar story, every race weekend. Sure, it's a long lap, but over 20 seconds, is a lot over a full race, never mind one lap! The time Lauda posted was where the car should have been, Peterson frequently performed these kinds of super human feats. Prost was quicker than old man Lauda, in 84-85, but nothing like Peterson. Remember when people used to be amazed Senna was over a second quicker than Prost? Peterson made his prestigious, multiple world champion teammates look like journeymen. He blew away Lauda, was quicker than Fittipaldi and destroyed Ickx. He then drove the six wheeled Tyrrell, which didn't suit his style. He went back to Lotus, with the proviso, he had to be a number two to Andretti, so his final two seasons have unjustly damaged his legacy. In the 1978 season, Peterson had to qualify with race tyres and even then, they still had to top his car up with fuel, to stop him out qualifying Andretti, also they rarely drove the same spec of car. How much time is that worth? It's unbelievable a driver as talented as Peterson, didn't win a championship, and even more so, when a journeyman like Andretti was gifted one. How about a Peterson video? The quickest of them all, no one talks about.

@@creepingdread88 Already in 1972 Lauda was a known Nordschleife expert so the gap of 20 seconds to Peterson must have more reasons then just Ronnie's quickness. In 1973 Lauda qualified very close to the top in a BRM (!) and in 1975 he became the only F1 driver ever who did a lap under 7 minutes. I'll probably make a video about one of Peterson's cars one day.

@@ClassicFormulaOne1 The BRM had a ton of power, it was a good car. Peterson, was just quicker than Lauda, and every other driver. For example, the following year, Peterson was 11.4 quicker in qualifying than his new teammate, reigning World Champion, Fittipaldi around the Nurburgring. Caution and bravery played a big part, but it always did. Both Lauda and Fittipaldi were on the cautious side, whereas, Peterson drove on the limit. The March was a terrible car, but if they were teammates in better cars, the gap would have been smaller, but there would have always been a gap. Peterson and Lauda; head-to-head qualifying results. Both drove the STP March 721.

This is a well-made video. Historic F1 racing content, great soundtrack.

Thank you, more videos will come upcoming months 👍

Thanks yes that's my goal: to find rare stuff and present it in 1 package to you 😊

Heroes from an age long gone sadly

True they were much alike.

I'm watching since 1995 as well :)

Haha thx.

Thanks man! Yeah I think the podcast feedback from the drivers really gives you a nice view from within and the stresses they went through. I have no plans at the moment to do a review about a specific 1986 car, there are just so many classic F1 cars to choose from :)

Haha

Great Thanks!

Thank you, next one will probably be about the Jordan from 1999 :)

@@ClassicFormulaOne1 Ik heb ze in 1997 nog gezien op Spa Francorchamps, de eerste keer dat ik een F1 race bezocht!

And no drs 😅

Thank you, nice you enjoy them!
