The 1995 Italian GP hadn't even begun when... (50fps Broadcast Quality)

Pole-sitter David Coulthard spins into the gravel on the WARM UP LAP exiting the Ascari chicane. Upon rejoining, he throws gravel all over the road and causes a bunch of backmarkers to spin in the same place and wreck into each other once the race started. ***Note: I'm testing a new method of deinterlacing to see if the video is any smoother, let me know what you think. Personally I think it'll be impossible to get it any smoother than it is. And YES, the Schumacher/Hill crash will be coming up later providing I am able to upload it ;-)

[@GraveyIRL]

At the 0:13 mark is when Coulthard went from 'the Briton on pole' to a 'Scotmans in the gravel'.

[@Boemel]

I'm amazed, VHS isn't this good nor was cable back then. Or i missed out on something.

[@mvp4lithuania]

I think VHS WAS this good. Anyway, I'm guessing this is from Sky Sports F1 as their logo is blurred. They broadcast classic races in this quality. F1 should make it available as some F1 Pass.

[@Animal_lives_matter]

Consumer grade VHS players were pretty garbagey, but I think the high end broadcast quality ones were good. It's possible the broadcasters were using digital tape internally at this time which according to wikipedia was around in 1995 with the "DVCPRO" format. I'm guessing the uploader has some ties to broadcasting and may even be sourcing it from that digital tape?

[@CodeCreatures]

Rytis K. I'm gonna have to agree with you. There are parts in the video where you can see in the top right some sort of blur.

[@NFreund]

"D5 HD" was the format back in the day, they used for the raw recording, AFAIK. DVC Pro was actually pretty damn great and could do 1080i - i think they actually did use 1080i filming the 1995 season. Especially since the Fifa WorldCup in 1990 was filmed in 1080i. Although you can definately see the difference in quality - the Heli Cam was definately not a DVC Pro cam.

[@HighFlyingOwlOfMinerva]

You yourself are going back to the 'olden days' by saying F1 is another word for excitement. There is nothing exciting about it anymore, it's all tactics and preservation. I'll agree with you on technical development in certain areas however.

[@tacheovale]

What an era to have got into F1 as a youngster the late 80s/early 90s was. Classic cars, great drivers, names like Benetton, Williams and McLaren at the front of the field, classic liveries, grids of 24+ cars, close racing and the high octane commentary of Murray Walker! Fantastic

[@billkent6037]

The funniest thing is that when the race restarts Coulthard does exactly the same thing again during the race! Then in Japan he spins off, rejoins with gravel falling out of the sidepods and then spins off again on his own gravel. Then in Australia he completes a hatrick of embarrassing retirements by crashing into the pitwall during his pit stop!

[@X8Mori]

Very nice video indeed. I remember this because it happened right in front of me. I was there at the Ascari and I remember that a Clio Cup race took place before F1. One of the Clio broke his engine in that point and there was a lot of oil on the track. It was cleaned off but oil can be cleaned off 100 % and after one or two hours the asphalt is still a bit slippery. Coulthard was the first to put there the wheels and I guess anyone else could have spun. I never liked him and sometimes I thought I could do better than him, but this time he's quite innocent.

[@illuminchiati1287]

Grazie per la tua testimonianza...ignoravo questo retroscena e semplicemente credevo che fosse una delle tante Coulthardate del suo incredibile repertorio! ;)

[@dalfifran7572]

I dont think so. Maybe it's play part, but not a big one. Afterall, the other driver didn't make mistakes. I bet Scumacher laughing hard in his crash helmet seeing Coulthard made silly off track like that. Coulthard himself admitted that he was over confidence on this one after he dominated Hill at this track from the early session right through the qualifying. He also trying hard to prove himself since he is out of the drive from Williams and trying to impress some of the team, particularly McLaren and Ferrari, two team who rumoured interested in Coulthard. So try to made a good impression on Ferrari homeground would not a bad idea for him. He just over confidence, pushing too hard too early with a tyre and brake that still cold and not on maximum temperature. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGKpkpidlMafbNE

@@monstalova If i recall correctly, he didn't said he rejected the offer or that he will be a number 2 driver. Driver will have to compete to earn that, but there is no doubt Schumacher will have the preferential treatment, he is the defending champion anyway. Coulthard definetely consider it, but still waiting other option and considered this. His first choice of course try to stay at Williams, which is the best team on that year. But when it's clear Williams didn't want to extend his contract, he opted go to McLaren.

And no overtakes. Races being decided in the pits.

I ride around and stuff 'overtakes' as you put it are so overrated though. That's not what F1 is necessarily, you can watch other series for this. It makes the occasional 'overtake' more memorable when it happens.

[@tylbi1315]

DRS is littlerally one of the biggest factors of why we even see overtakes now if there was no drs you would be bitching there's no overtaking fans like you grew up watching the best ever era of F1 and are now spolit brats who think anything other than that is shit

[@David-ud9ju]

Yeah back in the good old days when there was absolutely no wheel to wheel racing and no on-track overtakes and all the positional changes happened during refuelling. What great times they were. I don't know what this idiot John Harding is on about either; how is overtaking overrated? F1, and any race, involves racing and, if there are no overtakes, that's not a race. The more wheel to wheel racing there is and, therefore, the more overtakes there are, the better the race is.

I remember watching this live! The commentators were very harsh on David Coulthard - clearly seeing as 3 other cars just spin around on thier own accord there was something on a part of the track tat limited grip like oil or something. You dont have 4 cars spinning round on thier own without something causing it.

[@X8Mori]

That was the case in fact. I was there and I remember a Clio break his engine and leaving a large oil spot there one hour before the GP.

[@Marcoboyle00]

wow thanks for the info! i always believed it was something like that, amazing to hear confirmation from someone who was at the actual event! Ive heard DC refer to this incident a few times over the years during commentary and he was very self depricating when taking about it assuming it was his fault. I wonder if he knew and was just trying to be funny, but its great to hear. I bet the engines at the start line sounded phenomenal. Hard to beleive this was 22 years ago....

[@X8Mori]

I guess he knew, but maybe he thought he had to be more careful about that, being the formation lap. Perhaps the teams had the information about that accident. The sound of engines was terrific! As I wrote in another comment, two years before I went to Monza, first time in my life. I was late and wandering around in search for a good place to watch. I only could see trees and people when I heard them starting for the formation lap. You could tell exactly where the cars were just by listening. More, safety was less considered, not only on track but also between the public. A lot of people was sitting on the branches of the trees. Some had stuff for free climbing and were hanging up to 30 m from the ground (about 100 ft).
