Oh yes. And we would all piss our pants...:-)

It took almost 20 years for the v6 cars to catch up to these cars.

​@@andresilvasophisma😂😂😂😂

well said my friend

@@ALPHABYTE94 When V6 engines were introduced there was a huge performance decrease, inform yourself. It took 20 years for the cars to be able to do similar laptimes (kind of), mostly because of aero reg changes and advancements that allowed the cars to be faster through the corners. Edit I'll even throw you some numbers. The fastest laptime in 2023 around Monza was by Oscar Piastri with 1:25.072. In 2004 the fastest time was by Rubens Barricello with 1:21.046. If you think that current generation F1 is the fastest of all times you are delusional. And it's going to get even slower in 2026 with the new engine regs.

you know that paddle shifting was not born in '89 but Ferrari already tested it with Gilles at Fiorano in 1979?

@@alessiorapino6749 cool

And when the drivers didn’t turn up to races wearing a tea cosy on their head and a dress instead of normal clothes.

Power steering is most of the difference. Go watch am F2 lap at monaco from recently

They are the elite of all world drivers, they can drive anything with enough time for preparation like those guys had, they were the elite of their time.

Just imagine how painful your arms and shoulders would be the days after a race this is a true workout

I do watch it all day, every day, pure heaven!!! Oh my days!!!!! FERAL!! That's the only word that comes remotely close. Absolutely breathtaking. Maximum to the uploader!! Mad respect!! Done know!! 👍👊😊

there's an onboard of Berger's complete Portuguese GP on KZfaq. Not a whole day, but a lot longer than this.

Oh yesssss

You could actually. Here's the full 1989 Portuguese GP Onboard with Berger - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZh5h7aQ17_No6s.html

The V and Flat-12s were the high point of Post-War Grands Prix engines. Once they and the 10s went, F1 lost all interest to me.

'86/87/88 were pretty bad, it wasn't until the Ferrari N/A engines came back in '89 that things improved. The 1.5L turbo's sounded horrible.

I'm Australian, he looks like a petrol head to me, like he's out there just for a bit of fun. And the bit between his teeth.

well done :D

@JC Zebi why not Alain Prost? Jacques Laffite? Jean Pierre Jarier? Jabouille? René Arnoux???

@@gaucho5073 because Nigel is funny, prost is good but no feelings, I like pierre gasly actually

@@papatango5085 I don't know who is Pierre Gasly as I have stopped watching F1 in the middle 90s But thanks for replying. I liked Didier Pironi and the fight between René Arnoux x Alain Prost back in the Renault days.

He was a drama queen. Seeing him "collapse" on Hockenheim was cringe AF.

They already do put the camera in such positions these days. It just that, the tv quality is so good these days that the onboards look safe.

you cant keep up

There have been a few good seasons recently but some more competition for Mercedes would be appreciated

Totally agree. If you've watched the modern F1 for a while, and then get back to some races from the early 90's, you definitely realise that something went wrong with the years. Early 90's onboards are almost terrifying to watch. Shaky cam, lots of rumble in the steering, great, LOUD sound, and drivers who really work the wheel. No DRS either, but honest overtaking. Not everything gets better with the years. Actually, the least things do. Modern F1 is for the ADHD generation, who can't enjoy 20 laps of drivers fighting to stick to the person in front, waiting for a mistake.

@@chakko007 arent you the ADHS here? simply because today is so full of great stuff, that you are only triggeredby shaky cams and violent stuff anyone can see even with a hole in the eye? well, today modern world is not a rough try. it is simply the evolution. prost senna and the engineers all would have done the same IN FACT THEY DID. so tehre is NOTHING different except the result think about it.

@@MrTiti Well, I just told you that I don't consider today's F1 to be full of "great stuff". 😉 "It is simply the evolution" - yeah, right. As if over expensive hybrid motors, which make you 1 or 2 seconds faster on a lap make so much sense. Or synthetic things like DRS, to give the spectator more ACTION, because he's begging for it, because motor racing is so damn boring otherwise. Motorspot hasn't been boring in the erly 90's. It's just that the people want more MOAR these days. Which isn't a very good development. Because, how far can you get, when people always want moar moar MOAR. At some point, you can't give them more. Or, you have to implement synthetic bullshit which doesn't make sense, like they do now. It's no coincidence that some people say that they should go back to the roots.

cut from same cloth.

Awesome indeed. The Lion was a truly beast. Ferrari had the edge on Estoril. But even the McLaren being outperformed by Ferrari in Portugal, still with a regular H manual gearbox, Senna managed to pole, being the fastest man in the weekend. I'd love to watch his lap, changing gears and one handed steering, setting the pole against the superiority of the Ferraris in this GP.

@@anonymoustrusty483 Senna such. Master of the Pole !

@@richardbradbury9105 Let's just stick with Rainmaster, that new title might be confusing

@@anonymoustrusty483 I was in Estoril that weekend, and partculary in the race Mansell was the man to beat. Nobody was on is race pace.

damn

Each driver can only drive the cars they're given. If Mansell was driving in this era you'd be saying he was boring, its just the way the cars have to be driven.

The modern cars are boring, but if you have not appreciated Hamilton's driving you've missed out.

@@paulguitar100 Yep, Singapore 2018 pole lap.

1989 was a classic season turbo engines outlawed so normally asperated engines back. Renault where back. Ferrari bring semi auto gearboxes to go racing. With that wonderful v12 power. Senna and prost still at it hammer and tongs.

Looks and sounds much better too!

That Ferrari was a tractor in that time to.

Ferrari is the best F1 team of all times 🤷‍♂️

@@viniciuss7792 that ferrari was a 3x gp winner tf u talkin about?

No, it wasn't, it had been tested and used before.

Register to F1TV. The access to the archive package is really cheap. Most of the time you have overview/highlights from old races, but there are some full races from this era. It is definitely a more "mature" racing... unlike today's mario kart.

Yes. He was a risk taker. Very brave guy!

Well.. some of them whined like bitches to the marshals after the race.

That's an arcade game, dude

@@azynkron And?

@@martoto77 the tracks are not even accurate. You had to take a double apex on that corner to be fast. Search any other driver, everyone did that

Your eyes compensate A LOT so you wouldn't experience it as shaky IRL.

Dude.. they go like 20-25% faster today. The cornering speed of a modern F1 is outrageous.

Nigel literally collapsed after some races he gave it everything every time & he was so thrilling to watch

F1 pinnacle….80s and 90s. Best ever

They were horribly unreliable. Ferrari lost a lot of races between 89-91 because of them. Reliability has never been a Ferrari virtue.

Yes Robin it was fast…..like The Riddler escaping down a drainpipe.

wow you're very young lol. I was 15 years old when you were born. I'm so glad I was born in the 80's and was able to grow up in an era without antisocial media and the overabundance of dumbing us down technology.
