Remembering Jochen Rindt, F1's Uncrowned King

[@Fraichedachs]

This channel could make such a series, about the heroes of F1. I really would like to see and hear about the stars of the 60's, 70's & 80's.

Those high quality race footages from the 70's makes me wonder what else does F1 have inside their library :D Also, R.I.P Rindt D:

[@Miloumannen]

Exactly my thought. Those photos from film cameras are just amazing. Bring them on, I can't get enough!

[@bowlchamps37]

It´s not really that hard. I did the same for my early 80s races from VHS. The PC does the work.

[@Jojo_Bee]

@@bowlchamps37 This is where "digital remastering" thing comes from, right?

[@MScotty90]

Late response, but if you get an F1TV subscription you get access to the archive, there’s tons of historical stuff in there. There’s full season recaps for 1970 through 79, and then every race from 1980 to today. I haven’t been able to find much from pre-1970, though. And not all the races from the 1970s are in there, I presume because they either weren’t broadcast or F1 didn’t have the rights to them at the time.

[@sohammhatre]

I'm glad F1 remembers from time to time those who lost their lives. The tragic tale of the 1970 season deserves its own movie so that more people will get to know who he was as a person and as a driver.

[@kamukameh]

I think it is difficult to find an actor with this remarkable face, but it was also possible with Lauda, so it would be nice

There's something very sincere about Seb when he talks about him. I genuinely feel listening to him that he means what he says and it isn't put on for the camera. Seb is, for me, a true gent and champion and it saddens me to see whats happening to his career and what people say about him. Anyway, RIP Jochen and well done F1 on another touching tribute.

[@Peterinho]

This just proves that drivers of the 60s and 70s eras, were more than just men. They were Heroes.

[@ballaking1000]

I don’t think they saved other people nor do I see capes; I think they were regular men who were extremely brave and self-assured in their abilities and car capabilities. They were men.

[@heliumtrophy]

I think they were mad men with a thirst for speed. Plus with the whole post-war era, any distraction was one to be welcomed.

[@Moribax85]

honestly, i consider more of a hero truckers that die on the road hauling cargo to make the economy work. these were just athletes, they did what they loved, and were paid more than enough for it, not like truckers. But, sadly, nowadays the word "hero" has completely lost its meaning, since it's associated with millionaires who play a game instead of firefighters, and the real heroes are demonized, like all the doctors and nurses that have risked their life with the pandemic to help people, and got repaid by being associated with an idiotic world conspiracy

[@Erik3E]

@@Moribax85 I both agree and dissagree. Both race drivers and truckers do it for eather the money or fot the love of it. THey arent selfishly trying to save the economy. The reall heroes are the Policemen that risk their lives for ppl eveery day. Firemen and Medical personel. No to mention Soldiers defending their country and family.

[@Moribax85]

@@Erik3E in fact i never said that truckers are heroes, i said that i consider them more heroes than race drivers, only because they face the same if not more risks for way less money. After I said that i said something else that i think you would find way more agreeable

Sir Jackie Stewart was utterly distraught after his crash. RIP Jochen Rindt.

[@philhayhoe1]

And it was a huge motivation in Stewart's drive to improve safety. Did I see in another documentary that Jochen asked the engineers to remove the back wing over Colin Chapman's objections? In any case, a truly heroic driver and one of the saddest stories in F1.

[@leewat9068]

I'd love to learn more about F1 drivers of the past. I've tried to read as much as I could but I wish F1 would release more footage of how it was back then. I love the history of this sport.

[@Markell1991]

Yeah, just reading is a bit stale. Watching the old legends actually race brings it all to life.

[@heliumtrophy]

It's not always easy because sometimes those that were recorded if they were in the first place could've been wiped out completely by TV executives who wanted to cut costs of buying in new film tape so they'd tape/film over that. It's a shame but I think if anything the lack of film gives the whole thing much more of mystique to it and whether rightly or wrongly, romanticises them. But I fully agree that it would be nice to see some more footage if it were at all possible.

[@jockellis]

Read Robert Dailey’s books Cars At Speed and The Cruel Sport if you want to learn about ‘50s and earlier drivers.

[@andreasnahler9891]

Ich denke, besonders deutlich zeigt sich das herausragende fahrerische Können des Jochen Rindt in der Formel 2 zwischen 1964 und - 1970. Alle Rennwagen waren damals technisch identisch (gleiche Reifen, gleicher Treibstoff, gleicher Motor). Die Rennwagen-Chassis der damaligen Formel 2 waren ebenfalls technisch identisch, obwohl es mehrere Hersteller gab (Brabham, BRM, Cooper, Lotus, Matra). Sehr beeindruckend: Mit gleichem Material (!) ist Jochen Rindt der Konkurrenz regelmäßig davon gefahren. Die einmalige Erfolgsserie - 38 Siege in 6 Jahren!! - sagt ALLES über seine Fähigkeiten als Rennfahrer: Einfach brilliant!!!

[@BishakhGhosh]

Seb the only driver in the grid who can present and discuss about the history of F1 so well thanks to his immense knowledge about the sport and also outside the sport.

[@giacomobongrazio]

I always liked him because his face looked genuine and honest.

[@piast99]

Frankly speaking I had the quite opposite impression at first, seeing his quite characteristic face. But then I've watched several documentaries when you can hear him speak. Then I've realised how much I was wrong. If it was not for that horrible crash he would be for sure remembred by everyone as the great person of the sport like Stewart, Lauda or Fittipaldi.

The other Austrian legend as some may say

[@brothersinarms1234]

I never had the privilege to watch him race live but i always admired him. He's a legend for us austrians. I always smile when i see a documentary about him. A cool and special thing was that he also interviewed other drivers for the austrian television. I mean, imagine vettel interviewing hamilton after the race ;)

[@julesnatural]

Of it is Vettel speaking about him. Among current drivers, he seems (or has shown from what I have seen) to be the only driver to fully embrace, appreciate and love all the long Formula 1 history and its daredevil drivers. Know their careers, their driving styles, their ways in detail. Glad they picked Sebastian to speak up here.

[@gregoryworth84]

As a 13 year old, I was fortunate to see Jochen race in the 1969 Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport Park, where he won a podium finish. At that time reportage of motor sport was really thin in the Canadian media, I didn't hear about his passing until I read about it in Road and Track magazine. What a marvelous talent, briefly seen and treasured for my lifetime. Thank you for this tribute.

Thank you for putting this tribute together. It was a nice companion piece to the Beyond the Grid earlier this week. Listening to the raw emotion and anguish in Jackie Stewart's voice really gives you a sense of what a special person Jochen was. It would have been a pity that his legacy and tragic death 50 years ago wasn't marked in some way. Hopefully, he will be the only F1 champion to win the crown posthumously. RIP Jochen.

What is heartbreaking is he was becoming more and more worried about safety in the sport. He promised his wife that his drive with Lotus would be his last and that he would retire. And tragically, he died in Monza when a vital component broke on the amazing Lotus 72. Because he didn't have his dive straps secured, he slipped out of his seatbelt, which cut his throat, killing him. Such a horrible, tragic loss for our sport. I wish I lived through the days of the 49 and 72 cars so I could see him race.
