Murray Walker - "I hate to say this but, a lot of people here are really debating whether Ricardo Rosset is Formula 1 material." Martin Brundle - "Well it's a fairly short debate Murray."
To win 7 f3 races and make podium in all 20 races in the season and be beaten to tittle by points on last race by a certain ayrton senna is not bad. Also if not for his near fatal crash in dallas on his rookie year he most probably would of won several championships.
Love Martin as a commentator and pundit. My favourite quote from Martin is "straight to the scene of the accident". I could listen to Martin talk F1 all day and not get bored of it
@@sigmundferd1359 this exact line went through my mind watching him share a podium with Michael and the genuine friendship they shared as teammates and rivals.
He was almost always at the wrong place at the wrong time. Most of his career against Senna and Schumacher, imagine that... Jeez. Also, the best available car if you can. This is a huge problem in F1. Happened also to Alonso many times. You gotta have the best car and the best environment to be at the top of F1.
As its a DNF/DNS its hard to add the absolute classic of Silverstone 94, the one were Schumacher was penalised for overtaking Hill on the formation laps. After the second formation lap Martin’s Peugeot engine caught fire on the grid & that was the end of his best chance at a home race podium (his team mate Häkkinen came third). It summed up his F1 career, every car he got to drive had some kind of major issue, if that issue was ever fixed he was passed over for another driver. The sports cars series win proved he had what it takes, but it shows that trying to get into a car that can win is half the fight in F1.
Martin Brundle is the man who made the best quote about Senna. It was something like this: "Senna always let you choose whether you want an accident or not. Because he will always slam the door and he let you choose if you want an accident or not because he's always ready to have an accident no trouble at all. He'll slam the door no matter what. Always".
As a non-Brit, I go out of my way to watch F1 with Brundle commentating, as well as the rest of the team. They are far and away the best informed, well researched group, with Brundle providing the best insight into the race itself. Crofty does a great job telling you what is happening, but Marting tells you why it is happening. I don't remember him so much as a racer, as I was a kid back then, but this video shows what I always thought listening to him: he has to one of the best drivers who never won a Championship. His knowledge is just so vast and he sees almost everything that's going. Definitely up there with Murray Walker as far as commentating greats go, although Walker will always be in a class of his own.
Brundle always gives his best in everything that he do. Though he was never given a chance to drive a championship winning car, he was definitely extracting the most out of the package and being a smart driver. A humble, non-biased commentator, and an iconic F1 figure. I have lots of respect for him. Thank you for your work Martin Brundle.
A few years back he was walking the grid and had a quick interaction with Horner whose driver was one of the favourites. Christian said something like 'well, at least we ar fighting for wins', alluding that Martin never won a race in F1. Brundle was quick to react, saying at least he got into F1 ( unlike Horner who only managed to race in F3000).
It was at Singapore. Horner said it was a shame that Brundle was too old to have raced at that track, and then Brundle said, "Shame you wasn't fast enough to get to Formula One". The man was and is still savage
Finally! Recognition for one of my all-time favourite drivers! Every team decision was wrong for him, every bit of luck went the wrong way. He could have been a multiple winner with the right machinery. Another Alesi in terms of potential.
The crash he had in Monaco back in 84 more or less ruined his potential for getting higher up the grid. Zakspeed though....what on earth possessed him other than money.....
@@saqib_999 I think driving for Williams, Mclaren and Benetton qualified him for being in the right machinery. Even team owners don't know how fast their cars are going to be by the time they get to the grid in March.
5:23 It almost feels surreal as a younger fan hearing Brundle speak as a driver, I still think of him as commentating from a professional standpoint before I realize he's giving a press conference debriefing the race he just ran...
There is literally no one I respect more than Brundle in all of F1. I’ve watched F1 for 30 years and his analysis and verdict of situations is 100% accurate. The man really does know everything. No wonder he gave Senna such a hard time in F3.
I often use his sharp as a kumquat fruit quote from Spa 2010. Brundle: "Sharp as a kumquat fruit today is Lewis Hamilton" Legard: "Are they particularly sharp?" Brundle: "I don't know, but I think I've just won a bet for getting that word into my commentary today"
1:12 Is nobody going to talk about that Brundle accidentally hit the rear of another driver, flipped, and then crashed at the same corner Alonso did 20 years after with a similar incident? Man, Brundle was at risk of head injuries and still managed to walk away from them.
It's funny though for a man now famed for his grid walks, if you ever heard him before a race he could be a real miserable sod to anyone talking to him before a race. It was a staple back then. One quote I will leave from his driving days when he was sat next to Schumacher, Mansell and Berger. "I feel like a schoolboy sat next to everyone here." Schumacher: "You look like one, too!" "Ha! Thanks, mate!"
Martin Brundle is a true legend of British motorsport and this was a great top ten....for me his two greatest drives were at Dallas in 1984 and at Spa in 1995. They were both special performances.
For me, Martin Brundle's best moments were during the rain that fell during the 2012 Canadian GP. He and David Coulthard had nothing to talk about but they filled at least an hour with interesting commentary.
My first fav driver in F1.. Thanks for all the great memories on and off the track Martin.. You are still, by far, my fav off track personality in F1..!! 💚
I respect Brundle and he is one of the best to never win a race, but for me personally I think Nick Heidfeld is probably the best. He put in some great drives despite not winning a race.
I agree Heidfeld was a great driver and deserved a win. I think Grosjean too. Although he used to be a crash magnet, he was brilliant in 2013, and definitely should've had a victory.
If we ignore active drivers I think the title of best driver to not win a race is either Heidfeld or Hulkenberg. Hulkenberg even failed to score a podium. Both were brilliantly consistent drivers who should've done more but they lacked the killer instinct to become serial winners.
I disagree with Hulkenberg only because he cracked under pressure. He was a really quick, young talent, but whereas some other drivers suffered bad luck, Hulk got himself to genuine podium positions only to get the jitters and bin it in the wall. Germany 2019 or Brazil 2011 stands to mind. Shining talent with poor composure.
Yep I'm old enough to be a Brundle fan when he was racing (I was very young then), but admired his composure, knowledge and level head - he also seemed like a thoroughly decent bloke! He then went on to be a brilliant commentator (although he seems to have lost his humour and has become a bit jaded since he moved to Sky), but it’s easy to forget what a top tier F1 peddler he was. Thanks for this reminder!!
I believe there isn't a single F1 fan who doesn't have a huge amount of respect for Martin not only for his commentary, but for his heritage in the sport.
I love watching Martin on the tele 📺. He’s a staple in our house since the early 90s. Feel privileged to have watched him race after reading other comments & even seeing him in the Toyota one in Le Mans
the thing that's striking to me is just how articulate he was, even as an active driver. You could just tell he had the know-how and vocabulary to seamlessly slide into the commentary box. what a legend!
A different kind of fresh video and i like these....When i started watching F1 from 1994 portugal it was everything about Michael & Damon for couple of years and after 28 years i remember Blundells face in monaco❤️❤️❤️
In front of Schumacher in the same car and just behind Senna, who drove an inferior car, but still... I mean... An absurd accomplishment. Brundle certainly deserves a lot more respect and praise.
His drive at Spa in 1995 was even more remarkable because he was only driving part time in F1, at just a few races that year. Amazing drive. I'm proud I was there when he scored his last ever F1 point at Silverstone in 1996.
Crofty and brundle cemented my love for formula one . Besides the amazing driving his commentary really grabbed me and made me FEEL the racing and see things before they happend . Will forever remember them .💪🏼
It’s infuriating that the ‘celebrities’ don’t give him respect on the gridwalk section. He has so much more right to walk on the grid than they ever could. Respect Martin!
I was at the Melbourne race in '96, taking visitor surveys for the government. After the race I walked to the corner and ran my fingers along the gouge that his roll hoop made in the track when he went upside down. What a legend for running to get into the T car.
Murray Walker said he was the best commentator he worked with - very high praise considering he worked with James Hunt and even his Dad when he did motorbike commentary. Martin's commentary is clearly leagues ahead of anyone else at Sky. (If he weren't there, I wouldn't bother watching their coverage). As for his driving ability, like many drivers in the 80s, he suffered career-changing injuries in a crash that could well have killed him ten years earlier, but that he probably would've walked away from ten years later. Had he not had that, he'd have been a GP winner, no question. Definitely world champion material.
James Hunt was often awful to work with so I think Martin's professionalism made Murray's job easier. James and Murray had a great era in the commentary box tho!
One of my favourite non racing moments of his was during a grid walk when he asked a security guy to interview Mariah Carey, to which he was told “no, she’s not in the mood.” Without missing a beat he looked straight down the camera and said, “well, that’s not gonna ruin my day.” 😂
@@flyingphoenix113 I starting to think that the F1 Media team is losing grips on the 50´s and 60´s which is a shame, but is also understandable because not enough people seem to care.
Martin Brundle's impact upon the sport of Formula 1 is astronomical. As a racer he was outstanding, but sadly very unlucky. His commentary is both insightful and essential. His voice is the one I always want to hear. His opinions and technical analysis are the ones I believe and accept without question. His experience and knowledge is second to none. If Martin says it is so, then so be it. Without Martin's presence F1 would be a mere shadow of itself.
There’s only one Martin Brundle and he’s ours, the man is a living Legend, watching him on a race weekend makes it worth it, especially doing the grid walk, a great British icon.
Massively underrated during his time racing. Brilliant technical and mechanically sympathetic driver when that meant a lot in a race. Lucky enough to have met him twice and can confirm, a thoroughly nice chap too and very passionate about his race cars
This man’s longevity as a broadcaster and a commentator earns my respect. He’s worked with the legendary Murray Walker, James Allen and Crofty too. His voice will live long in the memory.
@@ebob4177 those people don’t know what they’re talking about. I’ve often seen Brundle be the first to criticise a British driver if they were at fault, whereas others *cough cough* Damon *cough cough* will do anything to excuse something as a racing incident unless your name is Alonso or Verstappen
Brundle was the classic journeyman F1 driver. Give him a car and he'll drive it as fast as it'll go, but he probably was competing against some of, if not the strongest fields of all time. Otherwise I'm sure he'd have won at least a few GPs.
Glad he went into commentary so we could all learn that the battery power in the MGU-K will power along a family saloon quite nicely, and that a crashing car will always go straight to the scene of the accident. He can do it, because he already did! I remember when he first joined the commentary team with Murray - makes me feel so old! ha.
Never watched Brundle race before but I'll never ever forget the greatest soundbite in F1 history. "That didn't work Michael, you've hit the wrong part of him my friend!"
His the most brilliance moment is "i can do it, cause i already did." We proud of you Sir Brundle.
Classic!

When was this? Lol (unless it's in this clip; I'm only 30 seconds into the video until I saw this comment)

Is that glock?
Christian Horner to Brundle: "It's a shame you're too old to have driven here"
Brundle: "Its a shame you weren't fast enough to make it to F1"
That one was straight up gangsta. I guess Horner lives vicariously through RBR's success.
That was similar as how Alonso roasted Johhny Herbert
One of brundles countless dubs
To share a podium with Senna and Schumacher at Monza is pretty legendary in itself!!
Indeed. Top tier bragging rights material.

100%. That spot easily goes to Chris Amon.
Nick Heidfeld?
They never said that
@@flyingphoenix113 I starting to think that the F1 Media team is losing grips on the 50´s and 60´s which is a shame, but is also understandable because not enough people seem to care.

What a guy all that determination shows what he can do in them cars is better than others
“how many British formula referenced do you want?“ “Yes”
Martin Brundle's impact upon the sport of Formula 1 is astronomical. As a racer he was outstanding, but sadly very unlucky. His commentary is both insightful and essential. His voice is the one I always want to hear. His opinions and technical analysis are the ones I believe and accept without question. His experience and knowledge is second to none. If Martin says it is so, then so be it. Without Martin's presence F1 would be a mere shadow of itself.
F1 would not be the same without him!
There’s only one Martin Brundle and he’s ours, the man is a living Legend, watching him on a race weekend makes it worth it, especially doing the grid walk, a great British icon.
"You can't do it"
"Well, I can, because i just did it"
Massively underrated during his time racing. Brilliant technical and mechanically sympathetic driver when that meant a lot in a race.
Lucky enough to have met him twice and can confirm, a thoroughly nice chap too and very passionate about his race cars
Martin is a legend, especially after the incident with that horrendous horse woman looking creature who’s name we won’t mention
You can only imagine what he could have achieved in a better car. Certainly deserved a win or two that's for sure.
This man’s longevity as a broadcaster and a commentator earns my respect. He’s worked with the legendary Murray Walker, James Allen and Crofty too. His voice will live long in the memory.
Unfairly disliked and accused of excessive bias too.
@@ebob4177 those people don’t know what they’re talking about. I’ve often seen Brundle be the first to criticise a British driver if they were at fault, whereas others *cough cough* Damon *cough cough* will do anything to excuse something as a racing incident unless your name is Alonso or Verstappen
@@tyler_bt3326 indeed
@@tyler_bt3326 I'm also constantly amazed by Brundle's speed of thought
Don't forget the GOAT Jonathan Legard (just kidding, also he wasn't SO bad)
Extremy respectful human being in a viscious sport, never seems to show favouratism in his commentary
Pls make top 10 moments of nick heidfeld brilliance🙏
Great driver, great commentator, great bloke. Bravo Martin Brundle.
I remember watching the 1995 spa race, I wanted brundle to keep the p2 so much, a Ligier taking second would be like a Alfa Romeo on the podium.
Ligier won a race in 1996😏
@@chamindujanith6337 IIRC a race that finished with only 6 cars?

as a Brundle myself love this video!

"You're right there Murray" - Moment #11
Martin reminds me very much the great Maestro Fernando Alonso... 😎👍
One of the best pundit indeed, also he can do that because he already did it.
Can you plz do a Moment of Ronnie Peterson brilliance
that would be cool...may be issue is, lack of footage from around that time of 70s heroics?
Not going to happen because Ronnie isn't British, sadly. Alonso said it many times, this sport is a British world.
@@LightsOutLow easy:F1 can use old Ronnie Peterson photos in the internet
HE is worthy of a Top 10.
@@thiagomclima2004 yes
He has been a, sincerely, fantastic ambassador for the sport. I doubt he will reads the comments but I hope he knows he's held in very high regard.
Martin Brundle and Alonso had almost the exact same crash at Australia 🇦🇺 GP
Most Unbiased guy in F1 right now!
Brundle was the classic journeyman F1 driver. Give him a car and he'll drive it as fast as it'll go, but he probably was competing against some of, if not the strongest fields of all time. Otherwise I'm sure he'd have won at least a few GPs.
A true warrior and superb driver, extracting the maximum from the car to get results!! Brilliant
Definitely would have won in that 97 Jordan if Eddie had trusted his brilliant technical feedback
Glad he went into commentary so we could all learn that the battery power in the MGU-K will power along a family saloon quite nicely, and that a crashing car will always go straight to the scene of the accident. He can do it, because he already did!
I remember when he first joined the commentary team with Murray - makes me feel so old! ha.
Never watched Brundle race before but I'll never ever forget the greatest soundbite in F1 history.
"That didn't work Michael, you've hit the wrong part of him my friend!"
Legend of the sport
