Graham Hill was such a gentleman.. It's amazing how little Monaco has changed

"Bit of a wiggle-woggle" haha Mr. Hill you and your mustache are legendary

A true legend and master of under statement, a true gentleman of the sport and sadly missed

Hill makes it look so easy.

Fabulous! Amazing to see the suspension really working, especially under braking.

Incredible historical onboard footage.

Agreed.You are spot on.I was forgetting Prost,he should have won more Monaco GP's.Along with Hill & Senna Prost was certainly up there with the Monaco greats.

Wow. Schönes Video. Wie sehr sich die Strecke in den Jahrzehnten doch verändert hat

I love this kind of videos, it´s really amazing, this guys were really heros for me. Thanks for let me saw this beautifull.

Very true. It's hard to overlook the fact that he lead the most laps both in the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Had he just finished one of the races he was retiring from while leading he'd bag the 1981 title. As for 1982. The Turbo Renault was the fastest car and we'd see Prost champion and Arnoux 2nd if the car was just a little more reliable. 1983? The legality of the fuel Brabham used was questionable but Prost was leading the standings going into the last race... Prost is criminally overlooked.

Mónaco King. Such a shame they recorder a very slow lap, but cameras by then were huge.

Un Grand Pilote, Graham HILL, le seul à avoir été champion du Monde F1, vainqueur des 24 heures du Mans, et des 500 Miles d'Indianapolis !!!!

Fantastic vídeo!

Graham was actually driving by me, and two pals from the military.

best F1 video yet

Prost is always overlooked. In my mind, if I had a team, I would want Prost as my #1 driver - intelligent, hard-working, easy on the cars and tires and very fast.

Well said, he was a true racer, happy to try his hand in any style of racing F1 champion, Indy champion, Le Mans champion, and I beleive came close to being Monte Carlo Rally winner as well. I saw him in a number of F2 races at the great Crystal Palace track and thruxton ah those were the days ernie hill

this is art in motion!

Le seul à avoir remporté les 3 plus grandes courses du monde, Monaco, Le Mans et Indy précisément.

What a chap!

The best of F1 !

In 1975 I went to Lotus to nose around prior to the Grand Prix and Peter Warr let me wander around on my own as he was sidelined with legs broken in a road accident. As I was leaving I went to thank him, and I admired the photos behind his desk of all the drivers who had driven Lotus F1 cars. I said I hope Graham Hill would retire soon, and he asked me if I was going to Silverstone; when I said yes, he told me to watch for an announcement. I asked if it was going to be Hill’s retirement, and he just said ‘watch for an announcement’. So I kept my eyes open at the circuit and when I saw there was to be an announcement by Embassy the following day, I attended. And I was among the small crowd to attend Graham Hill’s retirement . . .

Up the hill, mr. hill.

no swimming pools..a very fast circuit

This old tunnel was great. More space for nice view.

Legend

Awesome!

About the speed of the video, remember that in this era the camera was a big mechanical film camera, not a gopro! It could not have been on during a real race or even practice, it was probably heavy enough to significantly slow down the car!

prost was very good there.. well he was very good everywhere.. if the turbo renault 30s had been more reliable he would have had at least 2 more championships.

Wow...just wow.

is very different from today seems to be even a little higher

50 years ago.

Great Reconnasense Lap.

Great teamate of Milts..One of the greatest of all time!

James Hunt on form as usual with his commentary

Huge corner exit oversteer everywhere. Maybe it's just the cold tires or maybe the set up.

@lostboy8814 he does, old racing cars had the layout different, 1 was where 2 would be, 2 where 3 and so on...

wow look how much the suspension moves! =O

Not talking about anyone in particular, just if someone had managed to race that long - Take Michael Schumacher for instance; he's been racing in F1 since 1991 and was still racing well into 2006 (Came back in 2010) so he's almost been at it for 20 years and the cars must have changed so much since then.

Hill owned Monaco.

Back when they had balls of tungsten steel

'its a very fast corner about 90mph' just goes to show how much F1 has changed!

They both did in different eras.

@Tuscopa no you're right but you can tell that there's more power in resever as he's been pootling round, would figure that there's a 5th.

like a sir

After Hill did - look at Hill's record.

seriously? that's the upper control arm and probly directly connected to a coil-over. state of the art back then:)

There's a huge delay in the car sound... But still a great vid!

Hi David, just came across this and keen to get a hold of it myself. Do you know where it's from? Cheers

I just watched a similar video of Mike Hawthorne taking a D-type around Le Mans. When did Racing drivers stop being Laconically cool about driving at terrifying speed? I blame socialism and comprehensive education.

the video claiming to be from 69 is actually years later, after this video.

I think it was a warm up lap.

Why is the sound always off in old onboard race videos??? - It "drives" me crazy!

The audio must be from another video. Watch for the gear changes and compare to the audio.

Great stuff, the sound of the car doesn't match the film but nevermind - still nice to watch.

Wait, they showed this in the build-up to the Monaco Grand Prix? I must've missed that.

Is it running a pushrod suspension? Whats the top rod that connects the tire to the car. Is it a control rod? The whole setup looks strange, I never noticed it before. I cant tell whats going on.

There's a gnu as well as a yak in the old station. Make sure you lay in enough fodder for both; no more pellets, please. Thanks.

gentleman driver.other cars other age

the old Tobacconist's Corner was better than nowadays.

Did my ears hear correctly !!!!! Did our Graham say and I quote " CHUCK IT ROUND THE CORNER". No.....No....No.....Today's drivers would have to go back to night school and have that instruction explained to them.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's baffling to think that an F1 driver who may have started racing in 1970 could go on all the way to 1990 maybe even further, the cars would be almost completely different (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong)

Are you sure it was from 1970? I just watched a 1969 onboard lap and the tunnel was much larger, as it is nsowadays. Can someone check? BTW this is the video i saw: Formula 1 1969 Monaco Jackie Stewart.

0.59 He kept it in first

Is there a full speed version of this?

@Tuscopa I'm pretty sure i see him go to 5th in the unconventional layout and by that time they were all 5 gears... I could be wrong.

BOTH Senna & Graham Hill owned Monaco full stop.

tunnel was alot shorter back then

Graham liked sausage rolls -- with ice cream

I think this is full speed.... but is seems like slow mo.

Who was overtaked at La Rascasse?

Ayrton Senna : The King Of Monaco !!

El rey de monte Carlo es Ayrton Senna da Silva 🇧🇷 ganó 6 veces en ese circuito.

@drunkest100 Eh I didn't say "oh look the track is the exact same layout now" but if you want to be that pedantic go ahead!!

мог бы и газу немного поддать.

Was ist mit dem Sound? Der passt nicht zum Bild.

A bit of a wiggle woggle

A video about the very great Graham Hill and the Senna fanboys have to come in with their stupid comments.

don't ever forget who is the king of the hill in Monaco..... 7 wins there.. being one of the victories shamefully stolen by Mr ballestre.... and one crash with 50 sec advantage to the second place in 88...

So he does'nt use 5th gear,interesting

We can't put the "if" in the middle of anything. "If" your father was a woman, you would have two mothers... Hahahaha, just kiddin'....

Now they rocket along much faster, and it's much more boring.

NO!!! Senna owned Monaco
