The Team - A season with Mclaren

[@henshin587]

This is so much better than drive to survive, no artificial, over the top drama, no playing for the camera, just much more authentic and real.

[@qwj68boots]

Because it was not manufactured to do PR aka marketing work for f1 via Liberty Media.

[@mark4lev]

No such thing as social media in 1993. McLaren didn’t even need the exposure from this, tobacco gave them massive funds.

[@RabihSaadguitars]

Totally 👍

[@pedrotristao524]

And… you’re able to see more data fragments and the car parts inside (of a 1993 car!!!) , rather than you can see in 2020s cars (and data) of ‘drive to survive’ 😂 … but nowadays is much better lol , specifically sharing information 😅 (except if in social media just for personal vanity BS)… currently, the society is full of … crap lol

[@MrWarhead16]

Yeah. Old documentaties really tell the story. Its good.

[@chriswright5016]

Without question, this was the best fly-on-the-wall TV series on an F1 team there's ever been. When you look back at it, the level of access was remarkable and, as others have pointed out, it puts the fake melodrama of Drive To Survive to absolute shame. But, in a sense, what we are seeing on The Team is F1 at what I believe was its absolute peak (I never agreed with the technical simplification of the cars). Of course there's added poignancy in that we lost Senna early in the following season. Dennis has always divided opinion, but it was clear right from when this series was first aired that there was something really special about Mclaren in those days. It's wonderful that this largely forgotten series is still available for all to see and enjoy and my sincere thanks for uploading it in this complete form.

" what we are seeing on The Team is F1 at what I believe was its absolute peak ".... BINGO!!

[@amirgamil]

Hands down the best behind the scenes show of F1 ever! I had one of the episodes on VHS years ago and watched it over and over! Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@RabihSaadguitars]

I lost count on hiw many times i watched this... just incredible Documentary. Maybe if Ron used that Lamborghini engine that Senna tested and approved off, Senna wouldn't have left and he would be alive now.. Fate..

[@pedrotristao524]

Lamborghini, really?! 😂 Lamborghini cars use to be beautiful, but not amazing racing cars/engines. If you replace in your comment Lamborghini by Mercedes… Maybe… 😅 But in 1994 McLaren selected Peugeot :s

[@danwebd4481]

I dont think a day goes by that Dennis doesn't think about Ayrton... Hakkinen is Legend too.

[@McLMP4-22]

If you ask me, the three drivers Dennis was closest to were Senna, Hakkinen, and Hamilton. Three legends of the sport, who all drove for McLaren.

[@thegto8535]

Then he wasn't unique, lot of drivers "felt" their cars, like Lauda. You could say it's quite a requirement at this level.

[@MrWarhead16]

Same as the time he crashed because the wall moved. As it turns out The wall moved like 5mm. I forgot what race that was. Maybe Monaco?

Miki doesn't seem to be remembered with the reverence he deserves. I believe Schumacher said he was his fastest rival after Senna was killed.

[@McLMP4-22]

Schumacher said Hakkinen was the only driver he truly feared on track.

Thanks for the upload. I watched this when it was originally broadcast on BBC TV.

[@marguskiis7711]

Strange to think, in the early 70s McLaren had ONE mechanic per car to prepare it for races. There is a mini doc about it from 1972. The whole team was ca 9 people.

[@Bolzovfire]

We learned a lot about what goes on behind curtains. The engineering and organizational tasks that lead to race victories. This is one hell of an expensive sport!! $40 millions to develop an engine!?!?!?

[@michaelbeckner9042]

Yeah and that was the cost 30+ years ago..

[@johnjohnson9658]

How terrible a hillbilly weld on his extended steering shaft broke on a 200 mph straight his wheels never turned and the impact in the corner wall drove the bottom half of broken steering shaft through his hemet and brain. Williams not being found guilty of negligence causing death and Ayrton's death is typical of the injustice his career was marred by. The politics that covered up this negligence shows how dirty and corrupt the F1 world is.

[@SpaceHCowboy]

[@markfarnon6742]

Mclaren messed up in 93 by having a ford v8, they tested a Lamborghini V12 before the season started, apparently it went well but they chose the ford engine instead.

[@blijvendvertrek]

They didn't test the Lambo until near the end of the 1993 season, around the Portuguese GP. Dennis tried to get hold of the Renault before 1993, but the Ford was the only option available in the end.

[@markfarnon6742]

@@blijvendvertrek I was mistaken.

[@Christopher-uj1gn]

Ron had two choices for the 1994 season. The lambo which they tested and was the better engine. But Peugeot offered a sponsorship deal and free engines. The Peugeot engines spent the entire season blowing their flywheels off. One of the biggest disasters in F1.

[@titanent.6897]

The Lamborghini engine was garbage dude. Do some actual research and you'd know that.

[@titanent.6897]

​@@Christopher-uj1gnthe Lamborghini was not better. Where are you getting your shitty info?

[@nigelsouthworth5577]

A fascinating documentary showing how Senna appeared jaded and fatigued at Monza. It's no wonder he crashed into the back of Brundle. He was such a great driver and maybe he realised he should have taken a year off. I miss him to this day.

[@marguskiis7711]

Andretti looks so amateurish here,

[@caincha]

It's always interesting to see a different perspective on things. To Brazilians Senna was always sold as the nicest person that could do no wrong and here we can see that not everybody really liked him. Yes they did respected him and regarded him but not necessarily liked him. Also interesting to see that Ron Denis was the Christian Horner of his time: leader of a winning team yes but an awful awful person that would lie and do anything to get what he wants or do anything and everything to ensure others don't get what they want if he himself can't get it either.

[@pedrotristao524]

Are you trying to say Christian Horner is a such awful man as Ron Dennis (as you mentioned)? 😂

Szélességre körülbelül ugyanannyi 2 m, viszont a mai autók hosszabbak. A 1998-2008-as autók a legjobbak méretben, csak azok a bordázott gumik ne lettek volna, 2009-2013 között ugyan visszatért a slick gumi, viszont nagyon lecsupaszított volt a karosszéria és az a magas hátsó szárny valami elképesztően rosszul nézett ki.

Senna talvez só não venceu em 92 porque o motor V12 era mais fraco que o motor V12 de 91 e a prova disso foi que no GP do Brasil Senna fez um tempo na classificação de 1.309 segundos mais lento que em 91.

[@claudiosgs1]

Jonathan, acredito que em 1992 o problema não era propriamente o motor e sim o carro. Houve um grande atraso no projeto do MP4/7 visto que o MP4/6 era muito defasado aerodinamicamente (inclusive em comparação com o Benetton). O novo carro demonstrou-se ser um fracasso mesmo com a aplicação do câmbio semi-automático. O motor v12 Honda empurrou bastante mesmo com os inúmeros problemas do carro.

[@drafedifa8870]

@@claudiosgs1 Não amigo, faça os cálculos da litragem do V10 das Williams e o V12 das McLarens. Williams 3.5L ÷ 10V ÷ 60 segundos = 5,833 mL/s de gasolina. McLaren 3.5L ÷ 12V ÷ 60 segundos = 4,861 mL/s de gasolina, agora é só subtrair a diferença de concentração de gasolina das Williams que é 5,833 mL/s - 4,861 mL/s das McLarens e o resultado é de 0,972 mL/s, isso dá quase 25% de diferença de concentração de combustível da equipe Williams/Renout em cima das McLarens/Honda, ou seja, as McLarens de Senna e Berger nunca tiveram chance de ganhar esse campeonato de 92.

[@claudiosgs1]

@@drafedifa8870 mesmo que a diferença de concentração de combustível seja de ~25% entre Renault e Honda , o carro tem uma grande responsabilidade em velocidade final além de equilíbrio em entradas e saídas de curvas. O v12 Honda era potente em velocidade final e seu ponto fraco era exatamente consumo e torque, entretanto o desequilíbrio dos chassis mp4/7 aumentou muito a diferença técnica. Recordando que o fw14b tinha muitos recursos eletrônicos que potencializavam o desempenho do motor além de tornar a aerodinâmica perfeita (como no túnel de vento) pois a distância carro-solo era a mesma (graças as suspensões ativas).

[@rafaeldeleo92]

Problema não era motor. Era o design do carro como todo e câmbio automático tinha problema. O motor era o que tinha mais potência no circuito em cavalos e torque mas instável.
