I was a big big fan of the Minardi team back in the days. And I remember when Badoer falled on his knees crying I was too! So heartbreaking. But at the end, Marc Genè made it and bring that point home. Always loved the underdogs and always will
the most annoying commentary voice ever, always transmided stres and anxiousity. he was like was in some pain and always screaming like a little girl with a high pinch voice
@@natazeze First, learn to spell. Second, don't be a moron. Murray was a legend and enough people have said so that I'm happy to tell you how wrong you are. Agree with Sagittarius - apart from 5 second penalty - you should be black flagged.
one of my fav races ever as I was a big Minardi fan as I loved to support the underdogs and Marc Gene was my fav driver for them so was delighted when he scored some points
Still hurts that Frentzen didn't win that race. Would have been such a surprise for the championship if a Jordan could be in the race for champion until the last race.
Lovely video! Just a suggestion, when cutting to your audio try and slowly lower the main audio, the cuts are too abrupt in my opinion, btw be careful of copyright strikes!
The 5 drivers jumping the start was due to some teams working out the sequencing of when the lights would go out. The FIA got wind of this and decided to change the sequencing to test this theory. The result, busted...
That race reminded me on a race at Imola....where all the cars stranded due to fuel consumption during the final 10 laps. Or Monaco....when only six cars arrived at the finish.....
To use my own quote from me "The greatest F1 race of all time". From the about 500 I've seen anyway. And if there was a law that everyone should watch one race in their lifetime, this would be it.
It's one of the best for sure! In general F1 1999 Season was great. If you're interested you can watch its highlights with modern graphics and 25-points system on my channel🙂
crazy race! watching this back im shocked at the safety standards and not even a yellow with cars on the track, tractor just off it weve come along way
The cheating wasn’t about the retirements. It was at the first start, that’s why several drivers jumped the start, because they figured out, that if they send a signal to the drivers ears they can have perfect starts. That’s why they changed the sequence to a random interval start. Frentzen forgot to switch of the pit mode and thought the car lost power.
@@All-Things-Motorsport went and watch most of youre videos. they are incredibly entertaining. could use a lil bit better mic but thats honestly just knitpicking. keep up the great work, i cant wait to watch this channel grow
Frentzen robbed. Badoer robbed. Stewart made up for 3 years of bad luck. Hakkinen drove like he wanted to be on the beach, but plucked two points out of nowhere
Ralf Schumacher was robbed aswell, second time a race win got away from him, although (imo) he proved his calibre this year, single handedly carrying the Williams team through the season, kind of like Alex Albon this season!
maybe it's me getting old but even if i remember the 80's F1 which i still think was the best the 90s weren't that bad. Was still watchable. After that i started watching motogp only.
That error is probably what lost Irvine the championship. Had he finished 6th with Häkkinen 7th, he'd have entered the final race 7 points ahead, meaning his 3rd place there would have clinched him the title. Also, had Häkkinen (with more victories to his name) trailed by 5 or 6 rather than 4 points going into the final race, M. Schumacher would have probably let Irvine past to give him the title. Unluckily for Irvine, he would have also won the title under most other scoring systems, with the 1961-90 distribution also setting up a "let Eddie pass for the championship" moment, and of course the 2003 and 2010 systems would have made Irvine a champion. Essentially, the luckier man won. Irvine - in his only competitive season - was driving a Ferrari marred by a lack of car development after Schumacher's injury, whilst Häkkinen had a superior car but making some glaring mistakes that made him seem a shadow of his 1998 campaign and he just came through.
