Not a coincidence they are 2 of my favourites.

Eddie is the perfect mix between kimi and james hunt

True 👍

If anything, today's F1 drivers are even more health-orientated.

@@farishanafiah8461well they have to be, 80s drivers wouldn’t be able to drive these things, fitness and strength wise. I remember a story, im not sure if it was mansell, however it went like “we were on the podium, all tired and sweaty, and there was this kid (Michael Schumacher) who looked like he could do it all again” this is heavily paraphrased and idk if it was mansell, but michael was one of the first to prioritise fitness and science into his training. And as for people complaining, people have been complaining since day 1. The 50s f1 cars were heavily restricted compared to pre war machines, 60s f1 cars were lacking power compared to sports cars, 80s turbo cars had hurt racing compared to the previous decades, 90s cost were rising and refuelling was only adding artificial chaos, and on and on.

@@l_poci_ Yeah plus Mansell or that someone else were probably in their late 30s, early 40s while Schumacher was in his early to mid 20s, like many F1 drivers today. This is what divides the two eras, the common and average age of F1 drivers.

Yes but it wasn’t put all over social media for other people to read and argue and call them names like shamilton and crash tappen

@@williamc4309 Oh yeah what about Crashhard Banger, Nijel Mainsail, Airton Sendup, Mickey Lauder? :D But OK that was just some computer game where the developers got an idea how to avoid potential licencing issues

Absolutely ❤️

But notice how he comments on how people still complained about it being full back then. A perfect illustration of how overly sensitive F1 fans are today. They romanticize the 90's. But 90's fans romanticized the 80's. It's just how it is

To an extent. Mosley and Ecclestone were adamant the sport was at its best in a long time. No driver in their right mind would praise F1 in recent seasons either.@@zacharywhite211

Didn't seem to care about his health > smoking ect!

@@MAte925 Exactly, and don’t forget his love of drinking

They needed to have listened to Eddie and not make it such an aero formula and then absolutely neuter the engines.

@John-ok8ts They didn't reckon on how important the sound of those screaming V10's was, it was a huge part of the sport...

Well I guess you never watched 1999 season... Mika retired 5 races and Ervine retired 1. Ervine won against Hakkinen in 2 races. 1 in Austria, when Coulthard pushed Hakkinen to last place and Hakkinen came 3rd that race 2nd was in Malaysia when Schumacher played teammate and let Ervine be in 1st place and slowed down Mika during the race. 2 points from a championship is the overstatement of the century.

​@antoniohmmm5518 It doesn't matter how it happened. Irvine being 2 points away from a title isn't an overstatement, it's a fact. Hakkinen might have been the far superior driver in 1999 but the record books will always show that Irvine was just 2 points behind

They're time is not now... maybe late 2020s

Ferrari almost got it in 2022, but Red Bull was hard to catch. And then there's Leclerc that keeps crashing under pressure.

Jaguar eventually became Red Bull after a few buyouts so he accurately predicted the team that would beat them too lol

bruh this was just before Ferrari won 5 in a row with schumi, and 2 more constructers in 07 and 08. He would have been right if it was 2009 not 1999

red bull did become quite okay didn't they haha😅

Red bull yeah but jaguar were a disaster before the take over. I feel like Aston Martin are going that road too

If only the Ford bosses let do the team their job.. and Newey joined in 2002… (very close to joining them…

🤣👍

My thought exactly... Eddie was half right about Jaguar's future

He would only win if Schumacher broke down! That was it!

I don’t think so, thanks for watching 👍

Irvine is in similar condition as Checo. Checo is fast and capable, but not as fast and as capable as Verstappen.

Your Mad, Eddie over his time at Ferrari closed the gap on Schuey. My guess is if they had 2000 together then uh oh, Eddie would have owned Michael.

@@nicholasbradley4175 he literally outqualified irvine by a whole second on his first race back and then handed him the win. irvine was always miles off, i cant think of a single time he beat schuey on merit.

​@@tomcharlton586He aint winning on merit because he'd just tell him to move over regardless.

No you are talking bollocks!

Only difference between now and then is that now, we have way more means of saying it.

In his first F1 race Eddie unlapped himself by overtaking Senna. Senna apparently had a few schnapps after the race and was bitching about it so another driver egged him on to go over and punch him. Eddie got punched, turned and said words to the effect of "this is the best publicity I'll ever get". Eddie and Jordan were the most entertaining thing about F1 in those days.

& yet you are commenting on a 25 year old video never you don't remember him 🤔

@@r7coo Gonna cry?
