Them sounds though! What I especially like about late 80s-early 90s F1 is that there was not just one engine configuration used by everyone. You had a mix of V12s, V10s and V8s. It's so nice to hear all those sounds mixed together!

[@HekateMGO]

@@imrankjamil yeah. The McLaren & Ferrari for example had V12s, Tyrell, Williams & March had V10s & Lotus & Benetton had V8s. The engine rules were pretty simple: 3.5l displacement & no turbos. Beyond that teams were basically allowed to run any configuration they wanted.

[@imrankjamil]

@@HekateMGO Oh daaaaang....If only this era would....!!!!

[@deegan463]

Absolutely. Also think about how the drivers of those days experienced multiple engine configurations. For example in 10 years, Senna drove every imaginable popular engine configuration used in Formula 1...from the Toleman with a Hart inline-four, V6 turbo from 1985-1988, normally aspirated V10 in 1989 and '90, to the V12 in '91 and '92, and then for one year, the V8 Cosworth in '93. Flash forward to today...only 8 of the 21 drivers to start a Grand Prix in 2020 have contested an actual Formula 1 race in anything other than a Turbo-Hybrid-V6 (that's counting Hulkenberg). Furthermore, only Kimi and Alonso (including him as he'll be back next year) have raced a V10 car. As it stands, if I'm right, it looks like these turbo hybrid V6's will be used through 2024? Great...

The 91 Williams was better than the Mclaren but suffered with reliability issues in the first half of the season.

[@TherealLorinser]

So much intense fight they ended up in a collision, by the way this 1992 Australia and Monaco Grand Prix is the most intense fight in that season.

Despite the safety, for me these cars are more beautiful than nowadays.. Rest In Peace Ayrton …

[@theant9821]

Mclaren, Williams and Lotus. The 90s was a sad period for Grand Prix racing, as it saw Lotus fall. And Brabham. In this race, Lotus was still the second most Successful team ever, that was still true as they began their final race in 94.

I was very fortunate to grow up on the Canadian border and watch Formula One's BBC broadcast on the CBC. We would stay up to watch the races that were on tape delay at Midnight Sundays. Great cars, great racing, great coverage.

I like to say that Mansell was a crazy genious driver.

[@Rottensteam]

Should have*. Not "should of".

[@R-Tap]

Piquet called Senna a Sao Paulo taxi driver. Piquet was the jealous type.

[@robertr7923]

he kinda was. On one hand he was a brilliant driver, but he was sometimes also dumb as a rock. There was one time in canada (dont know the year) where he was far a head and he was driving slowly on his last lap and waving to the crowd. But then he drove a little too slow and the engine stalled, resulting in a dnf instead of a win.

Back when Australia had a proper great and fun race track in Adelaide.

Back when F1 had 'soul'. Adelaide was AWESOME. Great era, great track.

[@jonguiry5999]

The commentary is off from the pictures, there are a few examples but the biggest is at 3:03 Murray Walker saying the drivers of cars 5 (MAN) and 1 (SEN) are at 'Stag Turn' (turn 9) when they're actually approaching 'Racetrack Hairpin' (turn 15). These videos are brilliant - thank you! :) - but would be great if you could properly sync the sound too.

Murray Walker, just as much a legend as the drivers. No commentator comes close. His ability to put the viewer into the cockpit of a car, with his wonderful vocal image painting, was really quite something.

At the time they thought it was Mansell's last race. In the end it was the last Senna/Mansell battle. Considering their wild history on track it was quite fitting it ended on a contact.

[@PansTheCatboy]

This was the last battle they ever had. Mansell was in indy cars from this point onwards until Ayrton's death :(

[@Jay-Leigh863]

The BBC commentary was so partisan! Mansell brake tested Senna. You see Senna's cars rear end step out in his attempt to avoid hitting Mansell and the British commentators lay the blame squarely on Senna! Check out the earlier laps. Mansell brakes much sooner at that turn than any time earlier catching Senna by surprise and causing the collision.

[@nickhartwell8053]

The partisan KZbin crowd, break testing was part and parcel of the sport back then. Dont you dare pretend that Senna didn't do that himself (or indeed just ram into people deliberately). No offence, but iim guessing you arent old enough to have watched these races/ years live. Trust me, much was allowed back then, and accpected
