I used to dislike how older f1 cars looked, but honestly, it grows on you

Nosso bicampeão em uma Lotus preta e dourada.

It is fascinating to see the different approach to risk in those times in comparison with nowadays. Spectators, photographers, stewards, pit crew,... everyone was so near the racing cars. In particular , the unprotected pits were so noteworthy. A simple mechanical accident or a minor contact between two cars and there could be a catastrophe. Very speciall the case in LeMans: they ran 24h, including night, dawn, dusk, fatigue, heterogeneous cars, ... passing at high speed meters away the unprotected pits. However, very few incidents happened in hundreds of races with people so close to racing cars. In fact, it is almost unheard any catastrophic event of that kind. From a purely practical point of view , it seems it is not so dangerous, statistically speaking... but I would never be so close to a racing track! IMO, nowadays, we are in the extreme opposite position (in Western countries). The safety distance is so big that I think it is overdone. Always there is a risk in anything you do, the key is to assess it in a rational way. You cannot sacrifice everything because of safety, otherwise you would live a pretty bland life. Lol , my post became too philosophical when I just was enjoying the view of racing in the 70s!

I bet he did know that in 1989 he would win indy and the championship

"Oh those older cars were so much slower" 0:04 Nope! 😅

[@JazzSaxUT]

Emerson deserved to win due to those awesome sideburns alone

[@Kevin_40]

crazy how nobody cared about safety back then. i guess you werent cool if you werent brave

[@ulysse21]

Not cool. Just common sense and normal attitude. Life is dangerous and deadly. You think you'll live forever don't you ? I'm amazed how much people nowadays have become so obsessed by security. Be aware, there are viruses outside. Don't go out!

[@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044]

This circuit was literally designed and built because of safety concerns at Spa. Maybe educate yourself before you speak.

Ottimo post ,ti ringrazio. Ho lo stesso World Feed ma in bianco e nero

[@alirioruediger7853]

Esta foi uma grande vitória do nosso Bi-Campeão Émerson Fittipaldi, com François Cevert em 2. lugar e Denny Hulme em 3..

[@pendlechild7516]

Wasn’t that Francois Cevert, Stewart’s team mate on the podium beside Fittipaldi? Always loved the JPS Lotus!

[@96libertytt]

Yes. Gone nearly 50 years.

[@simonkevnorris]

I think the third was Denny Hulme.

[@jakeamberson3239]

Doesn’t matter which model a JPSLotus is always the best looking car.

[@tigasc78]

Gotta love the camera guy at the drop of the green flag turning his back on the field as they take off... 😮

[@polcommwatcher]

Yeah. No one ever has to swerve off track at the start to avoid a stalled car...

[@rockydesign3303]

Clay leaving the door wide open for Fittipaldi on the first lap.

[@luisangelvalenti]

Lotus 72, the best!!
