@MartinhoAUT I met Jochen at his flying club in April 1970, and he was very kind to a star struck kid at the time. At Monaco he was chasing Brabham with a misfiring engine. 5 laps from the end that misfire cleared, and in the last 5 laps he broke the lap record 5 times. I've never seen anything like it, and I doubt anyone else has either. RIP Jochan.
Jochen Rindt was really one of the greatest drivers of history. The brave drivers like Rindt, Peterson, G. Villeneuve and Mansell will be remembered by the fans and not the "normal" drivers. This was F1, nobody needs more racing !!! RIP Jochen, you´ll be world champion for ever. *I´m not Austrian and much junger than the old F1-fans, but I like the old F1 more than the new*
Jack Brabham and Jochen Rindt. Two truly exceptional racing car drivers and characters. Had Rindt stayed with Brabham in '69 he might have become World Champion as well and saved his life. These fascinating times of F1 will never come back again, that's for sure! R.i.P. to both of them.
The photographer on the sidewalk while Brabham and Rindt are drifting by through the corner - totally insane, but those were the days. Amazing and fascinating stuff!
Look at the flagman! He waits for Brabham, but he didnt pass the line. So Rindt drive trough and nobody checks it. In an other video you see the flagman from the front. He looks 2 or 3 times to the side, because he thinks he let pass Brabham without the checkered flag. He looks very stupid in this moment. Fantastic!
The 1970 Lotus 49C had about 410bhp, no slicks, and about 570kg. In the ´80s the track get the "swimmingpool passage", a new last corner section, an finaly a new harbour schicane.
insane how little safety there was back then - photographers simply standing on corners not even behind a safety barrier like at 0:46. The pits behind literally on the track, basically almost no safety barriers at many parts, etc. Easy to see how so many drivers and spectators died back then
A great bunch of guys that was: Jack Brabham, Jochen Rindt, Denny Hulme, Piers Courage. All with great respect for each other. Rindt and Courage best friends, but both dead within 4 months (Courage in June at Zandvoort, Rindt on 5th September in Monza). Also, Denny Hulme was right behind Rindt when the latter had his tragic fatal accident in practice before the Parabolica. Hulme had quite a lot of luck not to be hit by a tyre of Rindt's Lotus 72C.
2 Brabham 3 Rindt 4 Courage I believe 1 ?? I don't know, but it's not a De Tomaso, it has bodywork extending behind the cockpit. I too have seen this reported as Piers Courage.
These drivers are legends. Nobody of the modern era can became such as s great personality as thes men. Just look on the track. No safetyareas, the chicane at the harbour ist only protected with some bale of strowe. Absolute perfect driving. When you make a mistake you can be dead. And to run the fastest lap in the last lap of this race ist extra superb.
So very true! Drivers in F1 today do not respect the dangers that was faced back then. Bad accidents where there is an injury is very rare today, where it was so very common to loose one or two per season then.
At 1.30 we see 4 drivers. I believe they are Brabham, Rindt, Courage and Siffert. Is that right, and if so what's the exact order ? I've read conflicting accounts of this.
Point well made. The number is impossible to make out. But there's something odd about the way this black and white copy displays. As the car mystery car passes in foreground the wing indeed looks a different colour. The body of the car actually looks green! Head on approach it could be all one colour. There is another shot of the car at 0:37 which not only looks one colour, is that an impression of an 11 on the front roundel? Well, either way I have enjoyed this Hercule Poirot case. Thanks :)
Rindt was my hero.This was one amazing race. If I remember correctly with 7 laps to go Rindt was catching Brabham at almost 2 seconds a lap. I do believe it was the most sustained excitment I have ever experienced in front of a Television. Again if memory serves correctly Murray was doing the English commentary and nearly going hoarse with yelling. Funny thing is I remember seeing Brabham slide into the bales from behind, but perhaps that's time twisting the facts...Great Video, thanks.
Jochen Rindt won in the Lotus 49,which was a 4year old car.The 49 debuted in 1967,and in 1970 it was well past its prime.True,Brabham would have won if not for running out of gas on the last lap.Happened twice to him in 1970.
@nowhereluke Well, Black Jack knew Jochen picked an already obsolete car. The incredible Lotus 72 WAS available but Jochen was truly old-school and asked for his old car back, which Chapman reluctantly agreed to. Black Jack was far ahead and thought he could simply cruise to victory to save tire wear but never thought Jochen would close the gap that quickly! Same thing happened to Damon Hill in Canada once.
Thanks for that Ralph,it therefore looks to me as if Courage, who Jack always blamed, had nothing to do with the crash, that Jack was too busy watching out for Rindt to notice the 'mystery' driver in front of him !
Ralph, I think you've sussed it! Denny as you'll know came 4th, 1min 28 secs behind Rindt which puts him logically just in front of Jochen at the end and therefore having to do another lap, laps were in the 1 min 20s in that race. My only possible reservation is that Denny's car was no 11 and I can't make out the number on the film, and of course the Mclarens were a beautiful orange colour all over and the 'mystery' car's rear wing looks, on this black and white film, to be a different colour.
You've got my attention with this. Having done a little research, I think it's a McLaren Ford. That would make it Denny Hulme, the last man not to be lapped. Do some digging yourself and let me know what you think!
How interesting. Maybe there were two feeds, this and the one we saw in England and Germany? Seems a bit advanced for 1970 but who knows? BTW I should have said above: 7 laps to go, Rindt 14 SECONDS BEHIND and catching at 2 seconds a lap!
My dad watched this at the time and he always said to me that the most blatant 'bottle job' was from Jack Brabham in Monaco 1970. Brabham apparently couldn't handle pressure and this perhaps shows that in the biggest possible way. How on earth did he let slip a 40 second lead and cruise so slowly for so long, without realising for the last laps? I also have tranferred this onto dvd and its the very same Norwegian telecast and will treasure it till I die!
Brabham has often blamed Piers Courage for somehow tripping him up as he lapped him, but the film shows clearly that this happened way before the last corner. I reckon Jack was put off by Denny Hulme's car which was suddenly in front of him at that corner - (Denny came 4th), and not by the obvious pressure exerted by Jochen.
@@AmericasChoice Oh yes, absolutely, Denny wasn't to blame at all, he was driving absolutely fairly like he always did, it's just that him suddenly being 'right there' distracted Jack for just long enough to ruin his race !
Mein Gott wenn man das sieht wo Zuschauer bzw Reporter damals standen wie Leute die am Straßenrand stehen und warten über die Straße gehen zu können…..und heute stehen bzw sitzen die meisten gefühlt 500 Meter von der Strecke entfernt😅😅😅😅

great video thx.

I actually watched this live on ABC Wide World of Sports. The most exciting race of my life, and at 68 years of age I’ve seen a bunch!
my god what great footage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my dad was at that and he told me about it now ive watched the famous last lap of monaco 70! wow!
Que bien video y que buen audio.. Abrazo desde Mendoza Argentina
The tunnel was small back then!
Also the hotel above wasn't constructed yet.
Look at the flagman!

nice one, thanks!
remember that montecarlo in 1970 was faster than nowadays
So have I . Thanks to you too!!
Jochen Lives ... Very cool Driver
Hail from AustriA
gotta love the safety standards. people on the track! how could you have this 15 years after a crash that killed over 80 people in the crowd

4 Courage I believe
1 ?? I don't know, but it's not a De Tomaso, it has bodywork extending behind the cockpit. I too have seen this reported as Piers Courage.
These drivers are legends. Nobody of the modern era can became such as s great personality as thes men. Just look on the track. No safetyareas, the chicane at the harbour ist only protected with some bale of strowe.

Do u know, that u can drive the original track on the PC Sim rFactor2? Search for videos on YT.
Really nice how many guys love this video. Thx for your votes. :)

jochen rindt was pushin his car hard. f1 was crazy in those days. look at all the people on the track by the start/finish
You've got my attention with this. Having done a little research, I think it's a McLaren Ford. That would make it Denny Hulme, the last man not to be lapped. Do some digging yourself and let me know what you think!
This is the Original Norwegian commentar ,i think.

Frank Williams says Rindt was the best racing driver of all time and I think he's right !
The flag marshall never gave Jochen the chequered flag. He was waiting for Jack Brabham to come round, haha
Brabham has often blamed Piers Courage for somehow tripping him up as he lapped him, but the film shows clearly that this happened way before the last corner. I reckon Jack was put off by Denny Hulme's car which was suddenly in front of him at that corner - (Denny came 4th), and not by the obvious pressure exerted by Jochen.
I agree. But Hulme was going very wide and giving the race leaders plenty of room. A rare mental error by Black Jack.
@@AmericasChoice Oh yes, absolutely, Denny wasn't to blame at all, he was driving absolutely fairly like he always did, it's just that him suddenly being 'right there' distracted Jack for just long enough to ruin his race !
@@ysgol3 Just a moment is all it took. Black Jack was a great driver.

Echt?! Sehr geil. Mein Lieblingsmotorsportfotograf.
wow, that was dangerous.
Thx´ for more than 41.500 views.
Remember: On the 5th of Semptember the tragedy of Monza was 40 years ago.
RIP Jochen.
THEY'RE SPEAKING NORWEGIAN! :0

Before the series totally wimped out and became unwatchable.
