Patrick Depailler at Montreal in the rain onboard _ better quality

Patrick Depailler at Montreal in the rain onboard. A little better quality then the other ones here. One of my most favorite pieces of racing footage :)

[@TheFlatCapFromWN5]

1:44 That is ridiculous! The car is kicking out and Patrick decides to give it even more power AND saves it. What a guy!

[@tabstabs1204]

The man distroyed his left leg in an enduro motorcycle race just before he started with Tyrell. Won 1GP with Tyrell in Monaco. Then he crashed and broke his 2 legs flying a delta wing just after he started with Ligier and Ligier fired him. Won 1 GP with Ligier in Spain. Then he found a job at Alfa Romeo and finally died in F1 practice. Smoked a pack of unfiltered Gitanes everyday... Old school pilot, old school man !!

[@callisto3605]

He and Elio de Angelis are probably the two most underrated drivers in f1 history,both only won 2 gp each but they were constantly in the top 10 and drove their cars in a spectacular fashion,RIP to both.

[@maximum.p]

They are not underrated, really not.

[@thethirdman225]

I agree. De Angelis was always faster than Mansell at Lotus and I’ll bet I know who had the better equipment.

[@100hobbes]

so sad Depailler always had dogshit cars, and when he got the chance to win a championship he suffered that stupid accident with his hang-glider and Tyrell kicked him... to once again, race with a bad car that even ended up killing him at the end

[@isuckatthisgame]

bellof, de angelis, depailler, gilles villeneuve, ronnie peterson, lule reutemann are all high-profile all-time greats in my eyes

[@TheRoboteer]

@@100hobbes It was Ligier that booted him in 1979, not Tyrrell. I always had a soft spot for Ligier but their treatment of Depailler will always be a black mark against them. Absolutely no sympathy especially considering it was looking at one point like he might have been wheelchair bound. The 1978 Tyrrell was a good chance for the championship at the start of the season. Coming out of Monaco he was leading the world championship, but then Lotus redefined the game with the 79 and his chance was gone. Such a shame because he was driving brilliantly.

Bring back manual gearboxes and a third pedal to F1 - ban ALL driver aids, no traction control, no telemetry back-to-the-pit or tweak-the-engine-map-from-the-pit lane bullshit, no ABS, no rev limiters (called a throttle pedal) and let the teams decide what fuel & engine to develop and run given a set of parameters they have to meet like MPG, max HP output, longevity etc. Everything else - Rip up the rule book. Let them race. Says it on the ticket 'Motor racing is dangerous'. It their choice.

[@jjnich4915]

No ABS, no TCS, no sequential shifting gearboxes, no gear indicators, next to no cockpit safety, raced under even worse weather conditions. These are legends of F1. Dancing in the rain, Patrick Depailler RIP.

[@lethalchocobo1886]

There's neither ABS nor TCS in the actual F1 cars, which are much faster and as difficult to drive in the rain. They got 8 now gears which can be downshifted up to 5-6 gears in a split second hence the indicator. As for safety and wet conditions, would you like to bring back the days where pilots were dying for fun? Plonker.

[@jjnich4915]

@@lethalchocobo1886 I was making a comment on how dangerous the sport was in that time where there was almost no safety. I never said this should come back or that modern F1 isn't dangerous. Any pro motorsport is dangerous. Driving anywhere is dangerous. So don't just assume something and write a passive aggressive comment comparing modern F1 to F1 40 years ago. It was a different time. Back then Safety was not as big of a thing as ot is now but there also was not really as much understanding of high speed impact safety devices hence why at one point drivers wore goggles in a magnesium deathtrap 70 years ago. Think of Antoine Huberts F2 crash at Eau Rouge last year. My personal opinion not that it matters here: Vintage F1 is romantic and wild but time goes on and things develop and now we are here with Lewis Hamilton or Vettel racing the fastest cars on the planet and on some of the same circuits as Patrick Depailler like Monaco, Monza, Hockenheim...both F1 past and present would be awesome to watch but yes it is better if the sport does not have to lose their competitors due to safety problems. Modern F1 is a lot safer than the past but it is still very dangerous and people still do die but that is the risk a racing driver takes too. You call me a plonker for wanting f1 to be like this but you didn't actually realize the format of my comment. I was glorifying how F1 racers raced in terrible safety conditions and never was ever comparing it to modern F1 and I never said modern F1 wasn't dangerous either so your comment comes off as a blank passive aggressive statement. Whatever floats your F1 car pal.

[@lethalchocobo1886]

Sorry pal, misunderstood you.

Patrick was in the same mold as Gilles. Both had an innocence about them, and as one can plainly see in the video, drove for fun more than the glory of the podium. Unthinkable for such heroes to be present in modern, pure money business that F1 has become.. Shame..

James Hunt once said this about Depailler: "Patrick Depailler ... well, I've no doubt that he had a death wish. Very pleasant bloke but I always thought he was barking mad... Why? Look at the way he lived his life," James said. "Riding motorbikes without a helmet, that sort of thing. Depailler seemed to need to find risk in everything."

Unbelievable driving technique. With full throttle to the point where the engine screams in every gear, why doesn't the car spin out? After 3:50, the car is going straight with full counter steering!? It feels like watching the video game "Mario Kart". Patrick Dupailler is not a well-known driver in Japan today, but Toru Ikusawa, a Japanese driver who competed in European F2 at the same time and has experience against him, said, "His skill is like a miracle. ” was evaluated.
