Bandini was three years before!

Wow! Great history👍🏻

you have been extremely fortunate, in my personal judgment, to live these times. with the "old" circuit of Monaco and those fantastic cars and drivers. and I'm glad you remembered the great BANDINI, one of the fastest Italian drivers, for sure! ✌

I was there too, nearly in your same position, and saw through the bay Brabham's car suddenly stopping.

@@tazzinasellout7968 Bandini and Jim Clark were my childhood favorites.......after Fangio, of course.

Jack Brabham was, along with the rest of the bunch back then, a gentleman. Being a professional driver, he never let that fact stand in the way of his own moral compass. That was demonstrated at, of places, the dramatic 1967 Italian GP: - where had Gurney’s Eagle had not been inflicted with another damn unreliability issue with the Weslake-engine, the outcome of the event may have been very different. - Surtees stuffed it in Enzo’s face, on Enzo’s _home ground_ nonetheless, that Ferrari made a serious mistake in making quick dispatch of him. - And of course, Clark’s magnificent recuperation from a pit stop to regain the lead, which may have not have gone down racing’s extraordinary folklore if it hadn’t been from none other than Brabham… - … in fact it can be easily argued that Brabham saved Clark’s life that day. Because it was Brabham who risked his life to warn Clark of the bulging, rapidly deflating tire in the first place. Brabham had noticed that Clark’s RR tire was changing shape while going into the high-speed curves at Monza, and the tire “thinning” on the straights. After observing this, Brabham took an extraordinary risk while he and Clark were approaching the _Parabolica_ and took the unusually inside of the curve, diving in front of Clark while frantically gesturing with his right hand to Clark that he was in danger of rapid tire-failure that inevitably would soon follow. Clark’s greatness at Monza is indisputable of course, but besides Clark, that would not have been possible if it weren’t from a simple man from Australia who never allowed the measure of the sport’s showcase appeal compromise his own integrity.

Jackie Stewart, said exactly the same thing about Rindt's natural talent, in an interview: he said that he thought Rindt to be faster than him, and equal or faster than Jim Clark. At Monaco 1970, the guy with the chaquered flag was waiting for Brabham's victory, so when Jochen arrived, the flag was not waved at him. Later, Rindt said he had never driven faster than those last laps: the amazing fact is that Rindt fastest lap in the race was 1'23"2, while he qualified in 1'25"9...and Stewart's pole position was only 1'24"0. Not often the fastest race lap is faster than the pole position!

Yup. It is just awesome to hear Jon Herwig Carlsen! :)

Thanks! I couldn´t figure out the language. It is a pity that J.H. Carlsen does not seem to be related to another Norwegian Carlsen, who is quite fast in his specialty. :-)

Thank you, I could not place the language at all. The only thing I got in all of that was “Jackie Stewart.”

RIP JOCHEN RINDT

And a lot longer tunnel.

Yep, you just affirmed my assertion on another UKposts channel that the only way the US can see the GP, in the 1970's, was via Wide World of Sports. And yes, it was indeed tape delayed. 👍Boy, has time changed things!

If I recall correctly, the ABC Wide World of Sports telecast was in color, as I remember watching it at home with my Mom; we were both pulling for Brabham and were very bummed out seeing his shunt in the last lap. This video also confirms my recollection of the race, as I've read other accounts that it was Rindt's attempt at overtaking Brabham that caused the shunt. My reaction to reading those accounts was: 'wait a minute! There was space between Brabham and Rindt when that happened. That written account is in error.'

I have exactly the same story, watching the delayed broadcast on ABC. I was a great fan of Lotus and Rindt so this was an enormously exciting race with Rindt breaking the lap-record lap-after-lap to reel in Brabham only to, apparently, fall just short until Brabham trying to take the defensive inside-line doesn't allow enough distance, locks up the tires, and goes into the bales!

It’s like there’s a giant question mark hanging over his head!

@@anderspedersen7488exactment!

On UK tv. I was 11 & remember my big brother saying "Look at Rindt - he's driving like a bloody lunatic!".

I've got some 1967 reels if you want, send me an email need be

Jack lost it completely under pressure. It was actually embarrassing as an error. Pretty unforgivable.

That was a turning point in Brabham's season, as he seemed to lose momentum afterwards in the season while Rindt was gaining momentum in the season; albeit the Lotus 72 being sorted out during the season contributed to his success

I was at the finish line at Brands for that. Rindt slapped his head in disbelief! Not sure what Brabham did.

Keith Crossley Brabham ran out of fuel coming out of the final corner and coasted across the line in second. He also took pole and fastest lap at Jarama early in the year but suffered an engine failure at 2/3 distance.

52. Annj. Fa..... 👍

And he spoke French without a trace of a Norwegian accent. Murraie Ambuleur?

The cars back then were a lot slimmer than they are now; so it could make the track look more spacious. But the track barriers could also be thicker nowadays than they were back then.

Eh già,caro Mariano......dici bene. Qui era il pilota a far la differenza, oggi le monoposto sono telecomandate dai box. Unica cosa di buono nella formula 1 odierna, è la sicurezza.

Interesting question. I suppose Jacky Ickx is the only one who really knows.

I’m sure Cevert would have appreciated a halo.
