Wow, whenever I go back to the 'childhood days' of my F1 fandom, I'm always reminded of a kind of 'provincial', amateurish element of the sport. In this case, it's Murray commentating via phone line. It's weird, because it's not as if we looked at F1 in the 1980's and thought of it as unglamorous, it's always had the air of glamour around it. But yeah, certain bits and pieces are very much about a sport still in nascence. For example, it's been quite a while since tyre warmers were introduced, but I have a distinct memory of a photo in one of my F1 magazines, can't remember which year exactly but mid-80's, of a car with a mass of hot towels on the tyres.
You're correct, and I believe much of the reason for this is because an F1 car is an eternal prototype. F1 is a never ending experiment in getting the most from the least.
I'm not absolutely sure about what really happened here: either it was Mansell that f***ed it all up on his own, somehow, or the Mclaren mechanics didn't give him enough free space to approach his pit. Either way, pit stops in Estoril surely weren't on Nigel's list of favourite things, because two years later, also when leading the race, a wheel fell off right after his stop, which virtually ended his title hopes that year.
+Heksu99 thatmk you. I mean have you seen their shorts they only go down to mid thigh. Most men today would be embarrassed to wear those. But that was the style of the 80s.
At the 8 second mark, Murray states 'Senna is not out', which confused me for years, having only watched the BBC Highlights aged 8 (can't remember if they showed it live in the UK). This comment made sense watching the live version years later, as a few laps previously Piquet and Caffi collided and I believe Murray thought the Dallara was a Mclaren in the low afternoon sun, before realising his mistake a few laps later🙂
Sad day for me. Mansell was in total control until this pit stop. He missed the pit stop position because the space that he had was to narrow and he avoid hitting the mechanics. Then he reverse to his position (and for that was black flagged). Mansell did not saw the black flag, so he continue and had an accident with Senna. Senna did not knew Mansell had a black flag either.
I'm sure it was and I can only imagine, which is hard to do. I love present era Formula One, but the old days were so much different and almost all the footage is exciting to watch.
@PippinRally Yep, they can. Although the reverse gear is incredibly small, and a driver must be careful to keep the revs low or else he'll cause some serious damage. Supposedly drivers are discouraged from using the reverse gear and you'll see most of them do a burnout to spin around as it's quicker, anyway. This year at Monaco you saw a few cars reversing out of run-off areas during the practice sessions.
Since it's not an automatic DQ, they sometimes took their chances. Piquet did the same in Monaco. It's up to the marshals to call it.. so I guess it's worth to try. What really stinks though is that he took out Ayrton in the process. And he claimed to be the true gentleman of racing. Right..
no they don't do refuelling anymore, but they still have to wear protective gear and helmets, even though from 2013 on cars will only be allowed to use the pitlane in the electric-motor-mode (!).
Yes Mansell did take out Senna. I've been watching Formula one since 1985, and I saw that race live. Review the 1989 FIA review VHS, 1989 AutoCourse, or check out why Senna retired from the 1989 race in Portugal.
@@puketai '..should have faced attempted murder charges, or something like that....' - 😂Wow! That's a bit OTT, in my opinion! What part of it was 'covered up'?? The incident was plain for everyone to see! Maybe you mean something other than 'covered up'?
No, the mechanics pushing the car back into the correct position is the procedure for when a driver overshoots his pit box. The regulations say that you cannot use a reverse gear while in the pit lane, hence the black flag.
There was no refuelling back then, it was not required a fire suits. Since 1994, only five years later, the pit crew is like today, with all the equipment for the safety.
Haha.. Yeah, "in the good ol' days" - when there were no pit-lane speed limits and cars could rip down there at 200mph (if they were capable)! ..Not all rule changes are for the worse! ;o))
Well as you propably can quess, the safety regulations, especially the safety of the pit crew wasnt really considered to be an issue back then....so no one was wearing protective gear, no helmets, nothing...these times I dont think its even allowed for camera men to work on pitlane, atlest without an helmet when the race is on, but I could be wrong.
@zabraoota He actually did not lead a race, he won friday qualifing at the French GP 2003, when he was the only one with his teammate to use dry tyres on fast drying track
I cant recall what year they banned shifting into reverse in the pit lane. These days you cannot back up in the pit lane, the team can push you back if you havent passed the pit exit line but otherwise no going backward. Watching Mansell do it there is now wonder it was outlawed, that sure looked like an accident ready to happen.
Technically he did, but it was still a Toro Rosso rather then an actual Minardi, plus to me too many changes took place between Toro Rosso and Minardi for them to be truly considered the same team IMO.
@BlackBlueMen it doesn't matter. anyone who has been on track knows the rule that you follow the direction of the track. yeah it sucks people were in his way but that's racing

I think that was happening even up in early 2000s season.
You are incorrect; it stopped in 1994.
Yeah it was 1994. That's when they started refueling during pit stops, which was previously banned in 1984, and then later in 2010.
No pitlane speed limits in those days (until '94) - f'in crazy!
I don't know how there wasn't more major incidents in pitlane!
Just luck.

Just because they wear protective gear for cars coming at them at 60mph doesn't make them wimpy.

James hunt and Murray Walker were legends in the commentary box.
He was driving too fast. You can see him locking up both front wheels. Quite a remarkable error for such an experienced driver.
No pitlane speed limit back then, it was because he reversed in the pitlane.

0:38 - He will crash with Senna after knowing that he is black-flagged
why did he reverse in the pitlane? he must know that for this is disqualification!
He probably thought he could maybe JUST get away with it.
Since it's not an automatic DQ, they sometimes took their chances. Piquet did the same in Monaco. It's up to the marshals to call it.. so I guess it's worth to try. What really stinks though is that he took out Ayrton in the process. And he claimed to be the true gentleman of racing. Right..
I think in that moment you have a lot of other things on mind than that specific regulation
He's driving a Ferrari, that's allowed!!
well he wasn't disqualified soooo...yeah
Back when F1 was watchable
Back in the day Pitt crew dressed like we are in barbecue party lol love it
0:32 He loves his team mates..
I remember this one. Mansell black flagged for reversing into his pitbox.
@proGoalie88
i noticed that too lol
but then realized refueling was banned back then..... hence why no fire safety equipment.....
lol you guys seen how the Crew members were totally surprised by his entrance lol
no they don't do refuelling anymore, but they still have to wear protective gear and helmets, even though from 2013 on cars will only be allowed to use the pitlane in the electric-motor-mode (!).
they changed tyres in short trousers
Those were the days, there was no pit speed limit, hence they got into the pits at very high speed. Some excited the pit lane at well over 150 mph.
More like get killed by a driving machete at 150 mph in the pits
They're F1 cars, never underestimate their ability to catch fire lol. Remember Heidfeld at Hungary in 2011?
Do you know a single thing about what you're talking about? today's races are with a single tank, there is no more refueling in F1.
Yes Mansell did take out Senna. I've been watching Formula one since 1985, and I saw that race live. Review the 1989 FIA review VHS, 1989 AutoCourse, or check out why Senna retired from the 1989 race in Portugal.

Nigel Mansell was rumoured to be taking part in a Wall Stadium Speedway race, but turned out to be untrue.
The moment Senna's 1989 title was destroyed.
When Nigel messed up this pitstop it allowed Pierluigi Martini to take the lead, he was the one driving the Minardi.
Haha.. Yeah, "in the good ol' days" - when there were no pit-lane speed limits and cars could rip down there at 200mph (if they were capable)!
..Not all rule changes are for the worse! ;o))
He thought he could catch new tyres at 150 km/h, No wonder he missed the service station!
Sad pit lane speed limitation didn't exist then...

They didn't do refuelling those days, so it was considered there's no need for fire protection. Refuelling was re-introduced in 1994.
Mansell never did have much luck in the pits at Estoril.
pit crew still in t-shirts and shorts!! :D

Cars seemed so much faster with the on board camera.
" Mansell : A eternal idiot faster" By Nelson Piquet.
He back to race and hits the Senna's car, after passed by the black flag 3 times... aff...
@ssssroryssss2 not the only time. I've seen it a few times. (I clearly remember 2 of them)
Mansell did not get on with that Estoril pit lane.
Technically he did, but it was still a Toro Rosso rather then an actual Minardi, plus to me too many changes took place between Toro Rosso and Minardi for them to be truly considered the same team IMO.
I think he locked his wheels up and just didn't want to run into the pit team.
Schumacher would've just run em over, team boss jean todd would've fined or fired them for being in the way, and under the wheels.
They didn't refuel at the time, so they didn't need fireproof clothing.
Half of the mechanics in the pit area are wearing short-shorts...
where the cars at that time really that much faster than nowadays or does it just seem this way?
with the 2017 regs cars should be at their fastest they have ever been
Beautiful cars!
more a formality than anything else. they're not going to catch fire while the tyres are changed...
didnt button do the same thing but forwards?
@BlackBlueMen it doesn't matter. anyone who has been on track knows the rule that you follow the direction of the track. yeah it sucks people were in his way but that's racing

Nigel met la marche arrière tranquille ! No panic ! Ce mec est épatant !
Nigel wasn't too lucky with the pitstops at Estoril. At first this, in 1991 another failure.
Still he did win in 1990 (thanks Caffi crash), Senna almost thanked him for that!
You fucking did my day
If he had let the mechanics push him back he would've been fine. No wonder it took him until his final season really to win the world championship 🙃
To they're descharge, it is FIA's and insurance's obligation...

what ? how ? I never knew Mansell drove for Minardi

I can't believe it... He actually REVERSED in the pit lane... Unbelievable
must be used to getting away with breaking rules
And illegal
I can hear the commentator sound is *very* familiar.Anyone can guess?
If he got pushed back by his pit crew, would he still have been black flagged? I swear Ive seen that done before if they overshoot the box badly.
it looked like he was going to fast and he wouldn't have stopped on time so he passed them and backed up
And thus, a Minardi led a lap.
@wimpiedimpie nah its not new at all, and they still got it
well, that time they couldn't fuel the cars during pitstops, so they didn't have to wear those protective suites
Brand Prix has changed so much. Even the name
the steering only got one button. not like now which look more like a airplane cockpit.
For example.....? And actually they wearing shorts and t-shirts nowadays too in practise etc.
some of the crew are dressed for a day at the beach
You're not allowed to reverse in the pitlane :/
Re-fueling was banned... so.. it's stubby shorts and short sleeved shirts all round for the pit crews :)
