I think VHS WAS this good. Anyway, I'm guessing this is from Sky Sports F1 as their logo is blurred. They broadcast classic races in this quality. F1 should make it available as some F1 Pass.
Consumer grade VHS players were pretty garbagey, but I think the high end broadcast quality ones were good. It's possible the broadcasters were using digital tape internally at this time which according to wikipedia was around in 1995 with the "DVCPRO" format. I'm guessing the uploader has some ties to broadcasting and may even be sourcing it from that digital tape?
"D5 HD" was the format back in the day, they used for the raw recording, AFAIK. DVC Pro was actually pretty damn great and could do 1080i - i think they actually did use 1080i filming the 1995 season. Especially since the Fifa WorldCup in 1990 was filmed in 1080i. Although you can definately see the difference in quality - the Heli Cam was definately not a DVC Pro cam.
The quality of these video's is higher than on the official channel Thanks for bringing us these old clips, especially since F1 is too prudish to upload them by themselves!
You yourself are going back to the 'olden days' by saying F1 is another word for excitement. There is nothing exciting about it anymore, it's all tactics and preservation. I'll agree with you on technical development in certain areas however.
What an era to have got into F1 as a youngster the late 80s/early 90s was. Classic cars, great drivers, names like Benetton, Williams and McLaren at the front of the field, classic liveries, grids of 24+ cars, close racing and the high octane commentary of Murray Walker! Fantastic
The funniest thing is that when the race restarts Coulthard does exactly the same thing again during the race! Then in Japan he spins off, rejoins with gravel falling out of the sidepods and then spins off again on his own gravel. Then in Australia he completes a hatrick of embarrassing retirements by crashing into the pitwall during his pit stop!
Super Bill in 1995 in adelaide He managed to drive in the barrier on the Pit entry... Bad entry and good Driver dont get me wrong but He really made silly mistakes
That's why two years before, the first time I went to Monza circuit, I was late and when formation lap started I was on my way to the Ascari. I only could see trees and people but I could say in which corner the cars were because the sound was so huge.
Watch some Monaco from the 60's, spectators just used to sit on wooden benches right next to the track, they could have reached out and touched the cars!
Very nice video indeed. I remember this because it happened right in front of me. I was there at the Ascari and I remember that a Clio Cup race took place before F1. One of the Clio broke his engine in that point and there was a lot of oil on the track. It was cleaned off but oil can be cleaned off 100 % and after one or two hours the asphalt is still a bit slippery. Coulthard was the first to put there the wheels and I guess anyone else could have spun. I never liked him and sometimes I thought I could do better than him, but this time he's quite innocent.
Grazie per la tua testimonianza...ignoravo questo retroscena e semplicemente credevo che fosse una delle tante Coulthardate del suo incredibile repertorio! ;)
I dont think so. Maybe it's play part, but not a big one. Afterall, the other driver didn't make mistakes. I bet Scumacher laughing hard in his crash helmet seeing Coulthard made silly off track like that. Coulthard himself admitted that he was over confidence on this one after he dominated Hill at this track from the early session right through the qualifying. He also trying hard to prove himself since he is out of the drive from Williams and trying to impress some of the team, particularly McLaren and Ferrari, two team who rumoured interested in Coulthard. So try to made a good impression on Ferrari homeground would not a bad idea for him. He just over confidence, pushing too hard too early with a tyre and brake that still cold and not on maximum temperature. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B1Faeg_al6o.html
@@monstalova If i recall correctly, he didn't said he rejected the offer or that he will be a number 2 driver. Driver will have to compete to earn that, but there is no doubt Schumacher will have the preferential treatment, he is the defending champion anyway. Coulthard definetely consider it, but still waiting other option and considered this. His first choice of course try to stay at Williams, which is the best team on that year. But when it's clear Williams didn't want to extend his contract, he opted go to McLaren.
I love the look of F1 cars from 1990-2012 but amongst those 1993 cars are probably my favourite. Each car from the years I listed has it's own beautiful parts
I remember watching this live! The commentators were very harsh on David Coulthard - clearly seeing as 3 other cars just spin around on thier own accord there was something on a part of the track tat limited grip like oil or something. You dont have 4 cars spinning round on thier own without something causing it.
wow thanks for the info! i always believed it was something like that, amazing to hear confirmation from someone who was at the actual event! Ive heard DC refer to this incident a few times over the years during commentary and he was very self depricating when taking about it assuming it was his fault. I wonder if he knew and was just trying to be funny, but its great to hear. I bet the engines at the start line sounded phenomenal. Hard to beleive this was 22 years ago....
I guess he knew, but maybe he thought he had to be more careful about that, being the formation lap. Perhaps the teams had the information about that accident. The sound of engines was terrific! As I wrote in another comment, two years before I went to Monza, first time in my life. I was late and wandering around in search for a good place to watch. I only could see trees and people when I heard them starting for the formation lap. You could tell exactly where the cars were just by listening. More, safety was less considered, not only on track but also between the public. A lot of people was sitting on the branches of the trees. Some had stuff for free climbing and were hanging up to 30 m from the ground (about 100 ft).
You can see the three speedometers on schumacher's dash from the onboard shots really clearly in this, really cool. Apparently the benetton team were reluctant to put them on when he asked for them
The one on the left would give the minimum corner speed, the one in the centre would give the current speed, and the one on the right would give the maximum straight speed.
I ride around and stuff 'overtakes' as you put it are so overrated though. That's not what F1 is necessarily, you can watch other series for this. It makes the occasional 'overtake' more memorable when it happens.
DRS is littlerally one of the biggest factors of why we even see overtakes now if there was no drs you would be bitching there's no overtaking fans like you grew up watching the best ever era of F1 and are now spolit brats who think anything other than that is shit
Yeah back in the good old days when there was absolutely no wheel to wheel racing and no on-track overtakes and all the positional changes happened during refuelling. What great times they were. I don't know what this idiot John Harding is on about either; how is overtaking overrated? F1, and any race, involves racing and, if there are no overtakes, that's not a race. The more wheel to wheel racing there is and, therefore, the more overtakes there are, the better the race is.
Mad race, you even had the camera falling off Jean Alesi's Ferrari and team mate Berger following close behind hitting it and retiring. And Murray Walker's co-commentator (asked below) is Jonathan Palmer who has replaced the late James Hunt in 1993.
Yes! Toyota planned to enter F1 in 2001 with 3.0l V12 engine, but few months before season started FIA decided that teams can only use V10. Now without engine Toyota delayed their F1 entry to year 2002. FIA then handed them fine because they had promised to race in 2001.
As a race team they have been around since 2005 but they had sponsored other teams for many years prior. If I am not mistaken that is actually a Sauber wearing the Red Bull colors in the race above.
namefinder I'd say he was a better driver than his results would say. I can't remember how often his and Alesi's Ferraris broke down, but I do remember being surprised when they finished, let alone well in the points!
This used to be normal to have a marshall act as ballast when lifting the car, that only stopped in recent years with the KERS/hybrid systems making it unsafe to touch the body of the car
Winning is winning. Jackie Stewart always said:"In order to win a race you first must *finish* it." Retired as the most successful F1 driver ever (up until that point in time). Monza was always hard on cars and the drivers.
Motorsport and Murray Walker were so important to each other in my eyes. He commentated on so much racing in my time growing up in the 90s. Touring cars, F3 I believe, all sorts. The man and his voice was to me one of the best memories of television. He is a national treasure.
Well, I remember when Raymond Baxter used to commentate on F1...you’d find yourself shouting at the TV... “ come on Raymond, put some enthusiasm in to it “ 😂😂
Some dedicated F1 TV channels (e.g. Sky Sports F1 HD) are regularly showing old races. They upscale to HD based on the original studio recordings, so the quality is way better than the old VHS tapes, that are all over the internet. You can actually see the blurred out channel logo in the upper right corner.
I am giving it a thumbs up for the superb image quality. I am using an LG G4 phone to watch. For once it is being pushed to its limit by a moving image as opposed to a still.
Furfag calling someone else a joke? What shitty timeline have i walked into? And I miss when your kind of degeneracy was heckled off anywhere beyond its own domains, but I guess we don’t all get what we want
I saw that live, on my old Gold Star TV set. I was an avid (and still am) McLaren and Mika Hakkinen supporter back then, nice to see his shark finned McLaren no7 in the formation lap.
Just stumbled across this, wow... I can't believer how fantastic the quality is! Any chance of any more uploads at the same quality? Subscribed regardless, great work!
On the first F1 game on the PS1 if I recall correctly on their cars Red Bull were I believe the title sponsor for Sauber before Credit Suisse took over a couple years later. Amusingly for me Red Bull were also sponsors in the Wipeout Games and there Billboards were everywhere
BigGurbetKusu Back in 1995 people would think you were *joking* if you told them Red Bull would have its own team in the future with the same name. "What?? An energy-drink company having their own team?? What's next, McDonald's has it own racing team too? And CNN? And Microsoft perhaps." Red Bull *still* makes most sense as a *sponsor* than a team itself. Red Bull doesn't make cars. Red Bull unlike the others didn't start either as a car manufacturer, a racing team or a builder of racing chassis in different racing series.
It was in 50 fields per second in that time too, it wasn’t less smooth. This video have a little bit upscaled resolution and it’s deinterlaced, but not smoother. But it’s cool video.
Rebull as a sponser yup! Sauber were streets ahead in getting sponders and young drivers. In 1996 they were spondered by both RedBull and Petronas - now two major sponser teams. They gave Kimi, Massa drives and now it's Le Clerc - if Peter Sauber had a hand in that then he'll be good.
You got it! I was there, in that exact corner. A Renault Clio broke his engine in a race that took place one hour before the start. That corner was filled with oil. Of course they cleaned it off and put something on the track to increase the grip but that wasn't enough for a F1. Coulthard was the first to put his wheels there. He's still an average pilot with no particular skill but this time it wasn't his fault.
Happy new year to everyone! I have a question for anyone who has the time and wants to answer it: Will you guys be watching F1 this year, with the halo and the stagnation on rule changes and the boring spectacle? I just gave up the sport at the last races of 2017, after 20+ years of following it religiously and even part-time working as an editor for 3 and a half years. Just can't bare the comparison with how F1 used to be and the emotions it stirred up...
Only sponsoring.....they sponsored Sauber between 1995-2004 (as well as Arrows in 2001-2002) before they bought Jaguar and started their own team in 2005
