Wow - Luca di Montezemolo was so young! I used to love going to Brands Hatch in those days. The first Grand Prix I ever saw was at Brands in 1970. After a race, all the cars parked on the hill behind the pits would honk their horns and it went on for ages because everyone wanted to be the last person. It would stop for a couple of seconds and then there would be another "beep" and everyone would start again :-)
I was there. My very first F1 race while on vacation in the UK. Couldn't have imagined then that 10 years later I'd be marshaling in an F1 pitlane in my hometown.
I was there also, and it was my first F1 race too. I was standing with my friends on the inside of the circuit at Dingle Dell/Stirlings. We were right there when Hans Stuck crashed out @6.40 in this video.
@@LR_84 I don't know. If I were to watch this live, I'd probably go to sleep. Croft is a fine commentator. Sure he may not be Murray Walker, but he's certainly not as bad as you're making him to be.
What a great video. That was a crazy time for me as an 8 year old boy. When this race happened, I was hiding underneath a sink in a warzone with bullets flying. I got out of there alive with a small plastic bag containing my most treasured possessions. One of them was a Corgi model of the 1972 championship winning JPS Lotus. I still have it today
Interesting Dave... I was roughly the same age then, and also have a Corgi Model of Fittipaldi's championship winning car... given to me by my aunt. Parallel evolution!!!
probably the most dangerous era of F1, because the cars were a lot faster than the previous ones, but the tracks were pretty much same, also the era where F1 had the most legends on the grid.
This is so moving... I remember the guys who drove daddys trucks... They talked about a guy they called "Vackre Frasse" that died... And the grownups actually cried... "Vackre Frasse" is kinda like "Hansom Francois" The first time I realized that F1 heroes actually could die,,, was when my dads, and drivers, favourite Francois Cevert died... I was 6 and cried for weeks... And Ive cried for every driver who died since then - they are ALL my heroes ❤ Dad died waaay to young, he would have LOOOOVED the fights between Senna and Prost, Schumacher and Häkkinen... Love from Sweden 💖
Man, i prefer the flat 12s, v12s and v8 dfvs over what came after. Turbo, v10s, everything. These things just have a growl that gives the chills. I imagine what have been to experience it right there. Luckly tecnology makes It possible to have easy acess to these gems.
Carlos Reutemann, Carlos Pace, Graham Hill, James Hunt, Francois Migault, Vittorio Brambilla, PeterGethin, Jean Pierre Beltoise. with the ones you mentioned, that make 16 drivers in this race no longer with us. not to mention the non qualifiers. David Purley, Tom Belso, Lella Lombardi, John Nicholson, Leo Kinnunen. interesting factoid, Leo Kinnunen was the last F1 driver to race with an open face helmet.
Wow great footage. Thx for the upload. This coverage was way ahead of its time brilliant stuff. So sad hearing all those names which wouldn’t be here for much longer. Like Tom Pryce, Clay Regazzoni and Ronnie Peterson among others spooky stuff.
Oh you are so right. As a commentator myself, I marvel at his ability to commentate with just a lap chart and a few stopwatches. I love Murray Walker but as far as broadcasters go, I would take Raymond Baxter any day.
I was there, it was fantastic. I was 14 years old and climbed up a tree at Druids to get a better view. These drivers were my heroes and 5 years later I was out there in a Formula Ford trying to make a name for myself.
Jody hasn't received the recognition that he deserves.The year before,he caused a multi-car shunt.In '74,he won the race.He became world champion in '79.He deserves better.
One of the best opening two laps i've ever seen. Considering back then the cars were so evenly matched, you cannot deny Lauda's talent. He still wasn't recognised as one of the best at that time, but that proved a lot.
I was there, it was a great day. Some of these drivers were sadly killed in the following years, F1 was still dangerous and exciting back then. These days it's boring rubbish.
@@ballaking1000 what he meant by boring is that - No overtaking like Used to - The battle doesn't feel intensed like used to be - Comentator well, feel bland - Current Engine sound are like the Engine that doesn't have a spirit to race
@@muhammadsyarifhidayatullah2931 Early 2000's and prior, overtaking was a rarity. Yes there was closer racing because of reduced size of cars and less reliance on donwforce but the deviation in performance between the teams was far bigger than today so those awesome battles you saw- happened every once in a blue moon. Slower cars stayed behind while the faster cars just sailed off into the distance. There's something like twice as many overtakes in 2018 compared to 2003 and almost triple as many to the 1993 championship. Why are the commentators bland? They're charismatic and are good at giving info/always having something to say. If they were to fuck up on some stat everyone would harp them. But when Murray did it, everyone would laugh like "that's so Murray" hmmmmm...... F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport in terms of absolute speed and technological advancements. Having half the size of a v12 engine while producing more power (especially torque) and is more economic is such a huge engineering feat but people just hear the sound and instantly say "this isn't what F1 is about" when really that person doesn't know what F1 is about.
Jon Lenin 🤦🏻♂️ the fact that it was more dangerous certainly made it more exciting. Almost every track was a fast, natural terrain road course with character. You could see the cars suspensions move over bumps on the track and hear the drivers manually shift their exotic engines. Not to mention you could spectate much closer without 3 layers of fencing blocking your view. The live spectating experience is nowhere near as good today. And regardless of the engine configuration, size, etc, today’s engines sound like shit compared to these cars. Sound is half the experience of going to a race.
Brilliant, in the days before 'elf an safety courses, you could walk around the pits with a pint in one hand and a cig in the other wearing a t-shirt, and if your dad knew a bloke, you could get to push a car off the circuit dressed in your own jeans and trainers, happy days.
Amazing isn't it? You have to go back 48 years to see exciting F1 races! No fire suits or helmets in the pit lanes, no radio communication, no traction control or electronic driver aids, tires smoking on the starts, power sliding through corners, cars parked a wee bit off the track and left there when they break, just a great way to race.
Except for lack radio communication, traction control and electronic driver aids. I couldn’t disagree with you more. All those other things are reasonable, safe and do not diminish the competition or spectator excitement at all.
On that last lap I'm pretty sure Niki was looking for Jody in his mirrors, hoping that he would be lapped and could then just about crawl to the finish line. The extra lap was one too many for that battered Ferrari.
I may be wrong but it almost looked like a tire failure, not a simple slow puncture. Regardless, great seeing Niki prior to his horrendous accident of 1976. Luca was really cool too; forgotten how young both were. They made a great team.
I was at Brands Hatch for the 1974 British GP. Had a heavy night the previous evening and fell asleep out at Dingle Dell mid-way through proceedings. Only woken-up by the sound of Niki Lauda's tyre disintegrating !!
Nothing changes on that starting grid, as 100s of people mill around the cars with all the drivers trussed up & concentrating that they'll be alive & see that chequered flag.
"... next round at the Nürburgring, Niki Lauda's favourite circuit, right at the beginning of next month." Not saying anything about desitny etc., just found it ironic :P
Jackie is a bit quiet in the box isn’t he? God gawd man let the posh dude get a word in. And I wonder how much tickets were to lounge around in the run off area lol. Ahhhhh the 70’s. Rock n Roll
Those days were marked by true brave men who raced against each other at a very high cost. F1 / Grand Prix racing was insanely dangerous. Then you go to the USAC racing where the race cars were heavier, even less technological, no brakes, 200+ mph 3 or 4 wide, you truly had to have lost your marbles.
He was referring to Ferrari winning a British GP, although he didn't make that clear. Von Trips won it in 1961. in the preceding 13 years of this race, Ferrari won in the region of 20 GP's.
Fitipaldi may have not have the raw speed, but the man was constant and able to keep a pace necessary to asure him the title. As a Brazilian we have great admiration for him here, its really hard tô leave a country like ours, with very little entry level conpetitions and go to Europe and succed.
I think Jody was trying to signal to Niki that his tire was in serious trouble. Drivers back then gave a damn about the life of each other, having seen so much death in their sport. Hamilton would not have done the same for Nico or anyone else, not these days. All cut-throat.
Kind of reminds me of a recent news segment that interviewed a USAC midget driver (I think) that pulled another driver from his burning car. He got awarded a medal. In a way it shows how the gentleman drivers of yesteryear is dead. I'm not trying to take anything away from the got that got the medal, but drivers all over the world have the opportunity to do what he did every weekend.
Gotta believe that luck plays such a huge role in F1 and Lauda saw all the steam drop out of this race as well as his 1974 title hopes with this puncture. This race was his to lose! Niki never recovered from this disastrous race as the momentum just left the Ferrari team after Brands Hatch. But for a tire puncture he would have won by half a lap and likely gone on and taken the 1974 WDC. Momentum is everything in sports and Ferrari lost it in total at this race. Damn!
I dont understand what Montezemolo is sayin. It depends if Sheckter had already finished the race or not., -- if yes then Lauda couldn't join the track. -- If Sheckter was still in his last lap, then yes, Lauda should have returned on track and finishing not lapped arriving 4th.
Currently F1 pilots do not risk anything in cases like Niki Lauda, you change the tire in one seconds with fuel load, the truth is I think personally has lost all the charm of the races, with the lack of risks, the pit stops and electronic aids for driving.
When F1 was dangerous and the drivers did risk there balls and race to the death at times, NOW THAT'S RACING!!!! HOW GOOD WOULD THOSE SILVERSPOON LOT IN F1 TODAY BE AT DRIVING THESE MACHINES IF THEY WERE RACING FOR THE TITLE IN :74???? LEWIS IN A HESKETH??? ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE..
@@terrystevens5261 I've got a complete back wheel off Theo Fabi's 1986 Benetton, complete with the Dymag rim. It's now a bedside table with a glass top. The tyre is starting to perish a bit. Wouldn't want to put it on a car now!!! 🙂
ASTOUNDING SOUNDS.. AMAZING MACHINES!!! does anyone else every so often hear turbo discharge waste sounds?? no turbo in THESE supposed to be but ibet being f1 the odd secret one mustbe hid on the odd car I FEEL??
Absolutely not. You can't hide a piece of turbo machinery - especially in 1974. Turbochargers are quite hefty pieces of kit - especially with all the extra ancilliary equipment they need such as hoses and air intakes etc. The first turbos appeared in F1 in 1977.
Nice to see Tom Pryce in this race. A talent cut short.

no turbo in THESE supposed to be but ibet being f1 the odd secret one mustbe hid on the odd car I FEEL??
Absolutely not. You can't hide a piece of turbo machinery - especially in 1974. Turbochargers are quite hefty pieces of kit - especially with all the extra ancilliary equipment they need such as hoses and air intakes etc. The first turbos appeared in F1 in 1977.
OK thanks but it's only coz I'm hearing waste gate discharge, hisssss...
Every so often... What can that sound be???
