He said somewhere that you can't use words like "tragedy" etc. at every situation as a comentator, because what would you use when the real tragedy happens? I think that "amazing" is the most iconic murrayisms :v
1986: "That is not a fast stop by modern standards. Over seventeen seconds...." 2019: "Oh, one of the slower ones from Red Bull. Over two seconds...thats about to ruin their race."
Nico Rosberg Retired in 2016. The Rosberg racing in the 1986 Australian Grand Prix was Nico's father, Keke Rosberg and he retired from Formula1 Racing after the 1986 season and the 1986 Australian Grand Prix was his Final Formula1 Race.
If Murray had been using his smarts he would have figured that there was a potential problem for all of the front runners except Prost who had pitted to change tyres.
@@jameshogan6142 not obvious it was a wear issue until Mansell's tyre went (zero stop strategy was commonplace back then). Although perhaps Murray or Hunt could've suggested Mansell play it safe and pit for fresh tyres from 3rd, as he had more than a pit stop advantage over 4th.
@@Adam-pu6jg The McLaren was exceptionally kind to it's tyres. Mansell lost points at Mexico from having to pit three times for tyre wear while Prost managed to remain in contention for the title by taking second with just one pit stop. The Williams was therefore more prone to tyre wear and this should have been factored in. As far as I remember the only driver who won a race without a pit change that season was Berger who won at Mexico on hard compound Pirelli tyres,
I mean, he got it in the end. It's more than most other 'promising but ultimately left disappointed' drivers ever achieve (like Hulkenberg, for instance)
I was at the 1992 AusGP on start finish straight, I was 3. I still remember parts of it, you’ll never forget the noise. From memory Senna or Mansell shunted. I really miss seeing it live

leewat idk this Schumacher guy seems like he could really challenge for championships in the future. bold prediction but i could see him becoming one of the greatest.
This race and that 1986 season was both iconic and ironic at the same time. Both Mansell and Piquet fought tooth and nail for the title, and Prost snatched it under their noses. And despite having a slower and unreliable car Prost was very consistent.
Motorsport magazine officially ranked this Grand Prix as the greatest Grand Prix of all time and it’s not hard to see why it’s ranked so highly 3 men where still in the running for the title Piquet made a costly mistake Mansell was the odd’s on favourite but when his tyre blew not only did Murray Walker deliver an iconic one liner it now meant Alain Prost who had the inferior car had a real chance win the title and win it he did 1986 is a very strong contender to be the greatest season of all time
This race had so much potential. There were three potential world champions and that made the drama incredible at the start. As Rosberg pulled away it seemed like all Mansell had to do was finish the race to win the world championship. Then Rosberg retired and then before you could even think about what it meant Mansell's tire blew. This really has to be one of the great F1 races.
@@daniel6323 No doubt? I very much doubt it. He barely outscored Berger by a point in 1992, and he immediately got out qualified by Hakkinen, not to mention that he has the worst pole to win ratio of all multiple time world champions
In this race, Rosberg was playing the hare for the williams to wear out their tires. The Williams team thought they could do the whole race on the same set of tyres, but they were wrong, when they called Piquet back for the pit stop it was too late. Prost said his fuel gauge read zero two laps before the finish, but he didn't slow down and stopped with no fuel a few metres after the finish. There was a bit of luck but he never gave up. It's an inspiration for everyone. In short it was not as simple as it seems on TV, winning a championship at that time was extremely difficult. Prost and team Mclaren did the impossible that year.
I was working at the Circuit Bar when this race was on and could see them coming out of turn 2 into the straight from the balcony,I finished early and i had a free pass,just loved the speed,the noise and competitiveness of the drivers,i stood on the corner so i could see them slow down and see the drivers,what a fantastic event Adelaide was,great memories.
Keke Rosberg had plenty of bad luck in 1986. So many retirements. 1986 F1 lineup is pretty amazing, probably the best ever. How many past and future world champions: K.Rosberg, Senna, Prost, Piquet, Mansell. And then so many great drivers who never won the WDC: Berger, Laffitte, A.Jones, De Angelis, Alboreto. And those crazy turbo monsters that were able to have wheelspin at 300 km/h. That is indeed pretty insane season. I wish F1 was anything like this now.
From wikipedia: "The blue flag may also be used to warn a driver that another car on the same lap is going to attempt to overtake them." I think it was just the stewards warning Senna he was about to be passed.
We should be thankful for Piquet Sr. action's bc we wouldn't know anything about the wrongdoing of his son if it wasn't by his courage. We only know what hapened behind the curtains between Briatore, Alonso and Piquet Jr. because he went to the press and told everything.
@@alessio94952 then the sub 9 seconds stop with the unlimited pit speed is probably not too far off the current pit times with 2 seconds stops and a pit speed limit
It seems to be an unpopular opinion, but for me prost is without doubt the greatest driver of all time he raced in an era with senna, piquet, lauda, mansell and even Schumacher, just to name a few grates, and still came out 4 times world champion
Personally, I would say Schumacher and Hamilton were both better, but Prost is very close. He was very much the greatest of all time before he retired.

@Ultralight wot? Most of the teams are from Britan, engineered by Brits, and the current reigning champion is a Brit. Not to mention people like Ross Brawn, Bruce McLaren, Sir Frank Williams, Sir Jackie Stewart.. What kind of statement is that?
My god, look at all the exhaust fumes coming out of those cars. I love the cars from this Formula 1 era, but also very happy the way it's headed now, environmentally speaking.
Overlooked moment - Michele Alboreto's Ferrari getting a superb start from 9th on the grid, jumping about three places only to get pincered between two slower starters and breaking the rear-left suspension. Pretty standard for Alboreto's luck with Ferrari.
Moment missed completely here - third place going from Philippe Streiff to Martin Brundle to Stefan Johansson within the final half-lap behind Prost - Streiff stopping out of fuel with just a few corners to go, and then Brundle also running out as he approached the flag, allowing Johansson to snatch a podium at the death.
He did very well to keep that car straight though , with only 3 wheels lol but yeah this is why Piquet Prost and Senna won so many more Titles , Mansell always was very erratic and drove aggressively too often.
Alain Prost: somber celebration, raises fists in joy

Thank you so much for putting this together guys I have so longed to enjoy Senna's era. Please do this with all races as far back as you can I'll watch them all.
Uma lótus do Senna na largada no meio das MacLaren e Willians .
Senna é sim fora do comum do nada o cara no.meio
Tanto não tinha carro pra isto que foi ficando para trás.
Talento puro
I love how you can hear the boost build up and the flutter when letting off the throttle
Missed the stream, but atleast i have this!
you can also rewatch the stream
This was the true Formula 1
4:20, After what happened with Mansell, his teammate Piquet goes to the pits because he is afraid that the same thing will happen to him lol
He should just take the risk.. now he could have 4 titles and Prost 3.
This is magical. Thank you F1 guys working on this channel 🙏
This was back when they raced in Adelaide?
...
That's AWESOME!
Piquets rejoin was badass
3:40 MEIN GOT, MUSS DAS SEIN!!
So amazing what it was like back then.
Please don't remove the full race
You should do these classic highlights with modern TV graphics package
The AM NO. The modern graphics are awful z
@@RBenjo21 Yeah, we don't want to know position changes or lap count... -__-
RodriguezRacer 456 They should keep the original graphics from broadcast, that’s all. With the other two races they cut them out.
@@RBenjo21 true, but in races before 1994 there's been no real graphics, let's be honest
The AM 92 and 93 did, I believe. But in any case I hate them chopping off the graphics.
3:38 Tyre: I'm about to end this mans whole career
@Ultralight wot? Most of the teams are from Britan, engineered by Brits, and the current reigning champion is a Brit. Not to mention people like Ross Brawn, Bruce McLaren, Sir Frank Williams, Sir Jackie Stewart.. What kind of statement is that?
As a kid I always loved the wild sparks the 80's cars would shoot up.
My god, look at all the exhaust fumes coming out of those cars. I love the cars from this Formula 1 era, but also very happy the way it's headed now, environmentally speaking.
Overlooked moment - Michele Alboreto's Ferrari getting a superb start from 9th on the grid, jumping about three places only to get pincered between two slower starters and breaking the rear-left suspension. Pretty standard for Alboreto's luck with Ferrari.
Moment missed completely here - third place going from Philippe Streiff to Martin Brundle to Stefan Johansson within the final half-lap behind Prost - Streiff stopping out of fuel with just a few corners to go, and then Brundle also running out as he approached the flag, allowing Johansson to snatch a podium at the death.
What a good race. Imagine if a title fight was that good nowadays
That Marlboro livery is iconic
"Mansell is fast... A fast idiot" . - Nelson Piquet
OG Max Verstappen kkkkkk
He did very well to keep that car straight though , with only 3 wheels lol but yeah this is why Piquet Prost and Senna won so many more Titles , Mansell always was very erratic and drove aggressively too often.
"using his considerable intelligence, acumen and experience". Who was right? Murray or bitter Piquet?
@@helderfernandes2950 What is this nonsense? Max is a smart driver and has always been.
the best narrator of F1
Go Adelaide. The cars look great.
A hum-dinger of a race to finish a hum-dinger of a year
Thank you f1! more of this please!!!
