Gerhard Berger in the V12 Ferrari.

This is a rare full race onboard.

Track limits are adhered too as well biggrin

Funny seeing the end of the race and where the cars stop compared to now.

Watching it in bits. Seen about an hour so far. Engine sounds fantastic! The car looks to be cornering so much faster than current ones too. Maybe it is or maybe it's simply that the scenery is so much closer in many of the bends - far fewer poncy huge run off areas. Interesting to see retired cars at the side of the track too. Wouldn't be allowed these days. The action is so frenetic - hard to believe that a driver has to control a car at those speeds and observe flags, pit boards and communicate via radio. Fascinating to see how much the car was sliding on cold tired after the pit stop too and then less and less as the tyres heated up and the grip came back. It's compellingly brutal viewing!

Also the Ferrari he was in had a semi-auto gearbox, so humped quite a few other cars simply by being able to stay on the power.
Also pole was on the dirty side of the track.

Anyone asking 'what can we do to fix modern f1' needs to watch a few late 80s/early 90s F1 videos

Like this one (Senna at Monaco, 1990)

Finished watching. Gives a good idea of the level of concentration that has to be maintained for 90+ minutes. Great stuff!

Well done watching the whole clip.

Great stuff
I also watched the whole clip. I love that era.
Gives a totally different perspective having it constantly from that angle, but with no commentary, interruptions, or radio messages.
Also no constant technical 'fiddling'
I also remember what else happened in that race (for non-geeks, mansell reversed in the pits, got black flagged but apparantly didn't see it (ahem) then tried to overtake Senna and collided, which took them both out).

It is a missed opportunity...given there is extensive footage of every race going back a very long time, I am very surprised they have not sought some way to make it available, with the inevitable attempt to monetize it

This is where F1 needs to bring itself into the modern era. Instead of shutting everything down on copyright grounds it should have an extensive library of the footage it owns and encourage people to share their own footage too. Many of the musicians I follow now encourage people to share their own covers and remixes and footage from gigs - amateur content creation, mobile and social are where it's at now - and F1 needs to do the same in order to connect with the kind of people who will be its entire fan base when greying people of my generation have been consigned to the great gravel trap in the sky.

Surely you mean the "great run off area in the sky"?

There used to be a great "on board" video of Alesi who made an early change to slicks at a wet Suzuka (1995 I think) and gave a master class in car control on a drying but damp circuit - until the car broke.

Actually maybe it was this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxm9FdraAVc

(edited to add - got pushed off the track by Pedro Lamy's Minardi - which you see at the start of the video, then recovered to get within a few seconds of race leader Michael Schumacher - then the car broke)

My favourite era in F1 was from the banning of turbos late 1980s through to the of the end of the 3 litre V10s. As a spectacle, it's been going downhill ever since (in my view at least).
