My sister went to play with a neighbour friend and when Mum and I went to collect her, there was a gold Warsteiner nose cone in the back garden that the tortoise lived in. My sister’s BFF is Dave Wass’ daughter. I grew up in Bletchley where the Arrows was built back in the late 70s and 80s. There was a non championship race at Brands Hatch that Alan Jones led for a while
I don't know where it sits in the pantheon of F1 liveries but the first model car kit I ever got was the Footwork FA14 ('93 season) and I've always thought it was a good, simple and clean design (but maybe that's the nostalgia talking).
I only have one race that featured the Footwork team which was the amazing Monaco GP of 1996. Footwork lasted 2 laps or something. Jos Verstappen crashed at the first corner and Ricardo Rosset crashed at La Rascasse on Lap 2. They also left Monaco with no front or rear wings. Jos Verstappen was saved at Spa by the higher cockpit sides that had been introduced as a safety feature. One team principal actually complained to Sid Watkins he had cost him an extra $100,000 because of this, and F1's doctor simply told him to take it off the salary of the driver!
The rear wing shape was introduced by Footwork the year before, as the maximum height of the wing was reduced by 5cm in 1993. But only BEHIND the rear axle. These appendages where then banned in 1995.
Indeed, I loved the look of it too. It was the better Ford client team: looked pretty nimble (as it showed in Monaco), the drivers were both solid, esp. Fittipaldi.
Only in this video you said, a video I have to make about: 1995 Taki Inoue medical car crash 1995 Adelaide, a race nobody wanted to win. ...more to come
If you're looking for video ideas, McLaren-Honda's duality of being brilliant in the 80s/90s and awful in the 2010s while being convinced it was the second coming of their 80s/90s spell could be worth a deep dive
Videos you need to do... The Story of Stewart F1 Team The 1982 Monaco GP where all the leaders crashed out at the end. The 2006 Turkish GP2 race... The one where we learnt Hamilton had something special Canada GP 1997 and Canada GP 1998 (Both eventful) And the story of F1's greatest villain... Flavio Briatore
Another reason "Mad Max" earned his nickname was because as that 1996 Daytona race was drawing to a close, he had to make a late pit stop for fuel. He proceeded to blast his way down into the pits at top speed. Funny enough, pit road speed limits were introduced the following year...
Thanks Aidan. The Damon Hill season with Arrows showed some of his great talent. Pushing like a madman to qualify the car in Melbourne. Then his p2 at Hungary. The orange and black livery captured my imagination and I race in those colours whenever I can (sim and IRL) hence my avatar pic.
Another connection - Aguri Suzuki won the 1988 with the Footwork Team, which used a March and then a Reynard. The engine? A Yamaha V8 5V OX66, which would become the horrendous OX88 that was seen the in the Zakspeed 891 driven by Suzuki.
I once mentioned that you should do a video of the Stewart grand prix story…. And you shot me down 😂 And then on a recent video you said you must do a video on that sometime….. you’re welcome 😂😂
I'd love to see you doing a video on Can-Am. I'm strongly of the opinion that the Porsche 917/10 & 917/30 did NOT kill Can-Am. The ongoing gas crisis and ridiculous cost meant many of the previosuly dominant teams like McLaren had already left the sport and Porsche was just the final straw that broke the camels back.
Most of the team's misfortune can be traced to James Hunt spiting Patreses team from beyond the well deserved grave. He probably haunted them for daring to call him out on his bullshit
The whole business with Caffi after he had a crash was something else. Caffi had another accident after the Monaco GP which Jackie Oliver blasted as unprofessional behaviour and they get Johansson in. When Caffi comes back, Oliver effectively tells him to bugger off because they wanted Johansson instead. Caffi takes a court order against the team which when Caffi's lawyer brings this to the attention of Jackie Oliver, JO promptly slaps the lawyer in the face. To be a fly on the wall there!
As it relates to Christian Fittipladi, after the 1994 season, he would go to CART to drive for Walker Racing (where he finished 2nd in the 1995 Indy 500) & then Newman-Haas where he won 2 races during a 7 year stint. Fittipladi likely would have won a few more if he didn't break his leg in 1997. In 2002 he went to NASCAR & was a back marker driving for Petty Enterprises in both the #44 & the iconic #43. It did not help one bit that Petty was easily the most underfunded team in the Dodge portfolio at the time even though they had NASCAR legend Richard Petty (a 7 time NASCAR champion) as an owner.
Stories of interesting racing/testing/reserve drivers from '90s and '00s, those who are behind successful teams? Paffet, Wurz, Badoer, Gené, Davidson, de la Rosa...
You realise with the "Mad Max" bit alone, there are about three videos REET there, jus from what you mentioned! And i tried to think of an example of someone stocking somert bizarre for you, but I could only think of what GAME sell, seemingly to make up for the meagre profit they make from, well, games! Plushies, TCG stuff and even what our store in Leeds has as part of it! They have a section cordened off with PCs that you can rent out! I believe it is £5 for an hour, £10 for four hours and £15 for the whole day!
you mentioned how there might be a graph showing how all these videos are connected and it made me think about that video that talked about the gretzky trade, maybe something similar for Schumi and his career is an idea aidan?
1:08 see how the ground effect elements of aerodynamics are basically sucking the water off the track and making the spray? 2 minor streaks of spray are coming from directly behind the wheels, but the overwhelming majority of it is diffuser oriented. That's what F1 is trying to fix by covering the wheels a bit.
Do a livestream with Roberto Moreno or any other retired F1 drivers. There are other ex drivers with interesting backgrounds as well. Perhaps a storytime on Pacific (1994-95).
Letting them run what they want was pretty much the rule book to Group C, and that worked until Bernie sank it. A loose set of rules with some limits on aero, crash worthyness tests, and a set quantity of fuel. F1 just needs to keep the fuel capacity and flow limts, and they can free up engine configurations.
@@AidanMillward That can't be true as that's the BPR, FIA GT and the GTP era. A McLaren F1 GTR Longtail effort can't have been cheaper than a Group C car. Plus Mercedes pivoted the budget in to DTM and then in to that later, so the cash was there for them.
When they were being supplied by Asiatech engines my ex gf helped develop one of the oils they used. In return Asiatech sent the company she worked for a box full of goodies, and I still have an Asiatech mouse mat today. She was never really into F1 before that, as she'd just leave me to it whilst I watched the race, but she always followed the Arrows team from then on, especially as she loved the look of the car with the Orange sponsorship. She was gutted when they ended up going bust. You missed a sub story about Tom Wilkinshaw trying to get Renault engines for 97, but being blocked by Williams because they didn't want their ex driver having a chance of beating their current drivers in a car using the same engines. It was also rumoured that it was someone from Arrows who leaked the news that Renault would be pulling out of the sport at the end of 97, as someone from Renault told them that that was one of the reasons why they wouldn't supply them, but told them it was off the record. It wasn't long after that, however, that the rumours started to leak out Renault were leaving, so it was suspected that someone from Arrows tipped off the press as a bit of payback.
Great series Aidan, I think the odd shady company in F1 Is whats needed frankly lol. And a few ciggy brands. (One in the same thing I guess) spice it up with some Rubber bullets. 👍
I often thought the Footwork liveries from 1994 to 1996 looked a mess. When Arrows became Arrows again the cars looked a lot better, especially the all black one in 1998.
Not sure what the best looking of the Footwork era Arrows cars are, 94 is a strong contender, 96 is up there, but not sure what the very best one is however. Just love the 96 scheme for how bright and bold it was and the 94 livery was somehow standing out in a sea of good liveries (and then you had Pacific)
Let them run what they want, but with a max power to weight and downforce to weight ratio, and a max energy consumption rate (any fuel, just maximum flow rate or electric would also be fine)
Last one, the Porsche 3512 is the one of, if not the worst engine from a major manufacturer in the modern era. Motorsport revealed about a decade ago it never saw more than 510-520HP on a dyno. Meaning it was over 100HP down on even the customer Ford DFR V8s. And 180HP-200HP to the top engines.

May I ask what years? They had a rebrand in 2009 to Toll.
The all gold look of that Arrows in the late 70s was just beautiful. Was like the reverse of the Lotuses at the time.

I love the intro music, very relaxing compared to the usual RUclips EDM noise. Sets the video up nicely.
I only have one race that featured the Footwork team which was the amazing Monaco GP of 1996. Footwork lasted 2 laps or something. Jos Verstappen crashed at the first corner and Ricardo Rosset crashed at La Rascasse on Lap 2. They also left Monaco with no front or rear wings.

Ye, it saved his live and Max was born a year later... So without it we wouldn't have had Max as an F1 driver and World Champion...
The lockdown sim racing times were crazy and amazing. Getting to share the track with actual NASCAR drivers on iRacing was awesome.
The 1994 Footwork FA15 looked so good. It had a weird looking rear wing but the livery more than made up for it.
The Stake F1 team car should have looked like that ( black car But with Green and white blocks )
The rear wing shape was introduced by Footwork the year before, as the maximum height of the wing was reduced by 5cm in 1993. But only BEHIND the rear axle. These appendages where then banned in 1995.
Indeed, I loved the look of it too. It was the better Ford client team: looked pretty nimble (as it showed in Monaco), the drivers were both solid, esp. Fittipaldi.
ah damn it, i got beaten by the bot
Ditto.
Beat them at Twitter, tho.
Rise of the machines😂
Those Orange ARROWS from the 2000s were beautiful.
Hey Aiden, I know it's a minor part of the video, but Kyushu is pronounced "Cue-shu" as is Pool Cue.
It's the westernmost of Japan's main 4 islands.
Reminder to cover the 95 Australian GP. I remember you said once that no one wanted to finish the race.
