the '95 Ferrari was gorgeous. one of the most beautiful F1 cars ever. Especially with that V12 music

John Watson commentary gold.

"You can't drift in a formula 1 car" Some Austrian guy: *O b s e r v e*

0:27 I was like "Niceeeee..." 1:52 I was like "HOLY SHIT!!!"

Lovely to hear John Watson and Ben Edwards again. They were a great team.

Berger is underrated! What a lap! What a driver!

Great times - I miss it. Two legends are missing today, the V12 and Gerhard Berger!

How beautiful the cars were...

Gerhard Berger always the most spectacular to watch! A sorely missed character too!

The F1-era of gigantic balls.

Do it on one lap, it was a mistake on the throttle. Do it on every lap and you are deliberately planning to power slide in that corner. In a F1 car that is definitely not designed to do it. Remember, these cars are built to stick like a bad rash to the tarmac. Gerhard is one of my heroes. Love his sense of humour and he is one of the greatest drivers ever.

Berger was an extremely quick driver with impressive car control...one of the very best

Awesome car control by Berger there. I really wish the FIA would get a grip and give us the V12 back someday.

Gotta love Berger!!

His ballsy move got him on the podium here while teammate Alesi crashed! A great driver. F1 has never been the same without him.

Amazing! The commentators reactions make the video just that little bit better!:)

This is PURE racing ! Spectacular !!!

Immer wieder ein Augenschmaus :-) Danke Gerhard.

GREAT DRIVER

I remember the race after Mr. Berger's father died, and Gerhard went out and put the smack down on his competitors... It brought tears to my eyes!!!

He drives the most beautifull F1 car ever like a kart :-) Really great to see! V12 is missed badly in F1!

The 1995 Ferrari was the only car that was lovely to look at that season.

Good lord, now THATs how you make an understeering car work for you!

I miss that car and that driver :(

How the hell in gods name could you dislike this? Gerhard always loved Monaco. This was just a racing driver enjoying himself.

I'm a 43 year old Irish guy who started watching F1 in 1993 from the 94 season onwards Damon Hill was my guy so much so I took up riding motorcycles so I could wear Graham/Damon Hill's helmet colours. I remember that 95 season and being disappointed Damon's challenge fell apart. But when I look back what an amazing season......V8's V10's V12's, less tech, drivers who put it on the line, cars you could somewhat relate to your own motor, no pre determend races because of computer projections. That era is the classic quote you'd say to you kid "Back in my day".

I love how the commentators are just beside themselves! I love the slides! Great to see Gerhard having so much fun - now there was a driver who should have won Monaco and a championship :(

Fantastic footage!! Berger was ace and that was one of the most beautiful F1 Ferraris ever! God I like vintage F1 sutt!!

Thankyou so much for this, I have been looking for this clip for years... remember watching this live. That second pass through Casino Square is awesome.

That slide out of casino-corner in his 2nd lap is just stunning. i never saw such a slide in an f1 car before, i couldnt remember that one. just glorious! that is the way a f1 car should be driven, not that bullsh*t nowadays.

You can tell by the nose its 1995.

berger was raw talent. he was a diamond just from the earth., not polished or refined. he was magnificent but he needed lots more refining. truly underrated and truly a great driver.

Lovely slide by Gerhard in his 1995 Ferrari 412 T2 V12...🇦🇹🇮🇹🇨🇿

Incredible car control

berger just went up in my estimations 100%

Wonderful to look at, he's just drifting the car around the corners. What skill!

Gerhard Berger, one of a small group of the most talented F1 drivers.

Thanks for posting this! I remember watching this live in 1995, and eagerly awaiting the review of the year video so I could see it again, but it wasn't on there. So I only had to wait 15 years.........

This was more interesting to watch than any race footage from 2019 season.

YEP good stuff. I needed to see this video, now that they have destroyed F1 with all that V6 non sense.

I remember this Ferrari had randomly detachable on-board cameras. :P

the steering wheel on that ferrari looks epic and so does the car

I truly love the commentary!

The red mist as an art form, wonderful passion. This is where, even if you're not a fan, you can only marvel at the awe of Ferrari. You can see from this why their emblem is a prancing horse!

V12 magic 🥰

F1 powerslides. So epic.

What a great commentator, John Watson! For me he was the best besides James Hunt. John and James would have made a great duo but unfortunately there was a Muddy Talker.

thx for uploding this

John Watson sounds like the most passionate commentator I've heard since Murray Walker. It's clear John just loves F1 so much.

Amazing control!!!!

This is an totally amazing video to watch , thank you for posting. Gehard Berger displays his incredible skills as he really pushes his Ferrari around the Monaco Circuit. As a previous commentator rightly said, you cannot "drift" an F1 car, well apparantly Gehard Berger can, and he did :D

I don't want to be a smart-ass either, but this WAS in 1995. The cockpit side walls were raised only in 1996, not in 1995 (The only team that volountarily increased the cockpit walls already in 1995 was the Sauber team with the C14-Ford after Karl Wendlinger's accident in Monaco in 1994). The deep kayak-shaped cockpit apertures also were a contributor to the severity Mika Häkkinen's accident in Adelaide 1995. In 1996, the cockpit cushioning became mandatory.

Man that's was great car control at casino square.

awesome driving by him

I think this was Berger saying, "Fine, you want to give me a chassis that handles like a 70s F1 car, I'm going to drive it like a 70s F1 car." Haha

What a pretty powerslide. Glorious. What everyone wants to see, especially at Monaco. Berger was great at this.

1:52 great car control

Berger ran in the most competitive time in Formula One, He went up against Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, and Keke Rosberg. 151 race victories between those 5 men and 12 world driving championships, and yet Berger still won 10 races despite that collection of legendary drivers.

What a brilliant moment. I wonder if Gerhard Berger ever dreams about that lap.

Watson is absolut glorious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@azidahaka2 no electronic aids, man. the faster times are down to the aero(more downforce, less drag) better chassis and suspension, thus more grip and speed through the corners. no launch control, no active suspension, no traction control. F1 drivers were, and always will be, very fast. no use comparing different drivers of different eras. If sebastian vettel had driven in f1 back then, no doubt he would have posted roughly similiar times to gerhard.

Look at the Steering wheel. He is not pushing any buttons, he is simply driving. Today they have many many buttons they even push them in the corner. Earlier: Step into the car and drive Today: step into the car, drive change this, change that, push this push that. I think would like to have a steering wheel like in this Video, an not like a gamecontroller Only my opinion

John Watson : Best TV-Comm. after Hunt ever...!!! who shld top them ??? and: THIS IS A FUCKING AMAZING DRIVING STYLE !!!!!!

Amazing.

Modern F1 drivers who? Great video, Gerhard was a very underrated F1 driver, but he had a lot of natural speed and car control! He deserves more recognition!

Glorius

Screaming fast 412 T2 paired with a fast driver like Berger = wicked 4 wheel 600bhp drift/slide cornering sickness! Without a doubt, this is Jedi F1 driver in action!

pure real car control,those were the best times in f1,the v12 times

The Drifter

Berger + Ferrari = Inolvidable

All F1 need to do today is to go back to the 90s rulebook. Make F1 great and fun again! Everyone would love it.

These good old times...i miss them. F1 nowadays is nothing anymore compared with the 94 and 95 season.

@ 1:53 they were drivers indeed!!!

never gonna see things like this again. at least we have youtube

I remember that Schumacher tested this Ferrari before he becomes the new One 1996. And he ask the Engineer and Directors why they don't have won the Championship whit this great Car and great Engine!!! He was enthusiastic about the power of the V12...

Drifting a F1 car in Monaco? You really need to have serious racing skills...and big balls

Ferrari V12....it's the Sound of God.....

Great pilot...he did a magnificent 4th place on grid and a great podium the day after...Ferrari was rubbish at that time, specially if compared to williams and benetton...anyway he also did something astonishing at casino doing that slide!!

One of the greatest Austrian Driver in f1 .Same as Niki Lauda .

great gerhard.....nice memory

He is a great driver!

The real reason the FIA had to introduce skid blocks is that drivers were complaining about their massive balls making the cars bottom out.

The quintessential F1 car at the quintessential F1 circuit

Every once in a while I come back to this video. Granted, we had already lost Ayrton, but F1 was better.

Great lap, good work! But it's unbelievable, tha nowadays F1 is more than 10 sec faster (on the changed Monaco track (maybe 2 sec)).

John Watson. Excellent.

GLO-RIOUS!!!

@Playster3: Look at the track layout back then! Todays layout alone is so much faster through Swimmingpool and Rascasse.

La mejor epoca de la F1

I say we tear up the rulebook and reset to 1986.

Why do cars sliding look so damned sexy ?!

He is playing with oversteer, with oversteer it´s true you have an uncontroled car, but you go away of the curve so fast, you only need a good hands and intelligence to know how to control it and where to use it correctly, pretty amazing by Berger.

Remember when F1 was ALL about the man and the machine

good comentry team

wow

mallamoozoo - this is exactly what the viewer wants. I understand what hes saying.

This guy has some huge balls 0.o

@kralle7611 yes, basically. The diffusers will be cut down, that's good. But I dislike the idea of the rear wing flaps being adjustable from the cockpit. If it was possible to simply reduce the 'visible' wings (front- and rear wing) to the size of 1980-1982 (which means: the era of the ground effect cars, only w/o the ground effect sidepods now), that would be a good approach in my mind. minimum front wing, minumum rear wing, no curved underbody. btw, thanks for replying! :-))

@wimpiedimpie As izybluffen says, it's downforce but also that the track layout itself has changed. Rascasse is completely different now.

His car was setup to do this, if you try to slide an F1 car not set up to do that you'll probably crash
