Diese Brunswick Reviews auf VHS damals, hatten viel besseres Bildmaterial als die heutigen Duke Reviews. Danke fürs hochladen in dieser guter Qualität. 😊
My friend and I taped this from TV in the '80s (broadcast in the UK as "History Of The Grand Prix"). We knew every word of the cheesy scripts, and I've often searched bits of the incidental music. But I learnt loads about the wonderful world of '70s Formula One! Thank you!
I attended the last two Grand Prix of the season, the Canadian and us at Watkins Glen. And as a young boy, I met Francois Cevert, who was very generous with his time... and was shocked and heartbroken at his death in Watkins Glen, something not covered in this film. They mentioned to the scoring difficulties at the Canadian Grand prix, but I kept meticulous lap charts, and I believe that Fittipaldi won the race. I met him decades later, and he was still annoyed at the outcome. Colin Chapman threw his hat as fittipaldi crossed the line, which was traditional for a lotus victory, but the entire mess began because the safety car, used for the first time in Formula 1, picked up Ganley instead of fittipaldi. And although Stewart may have waited for the end of the season to announce his retirement, it was well known at the Canadian Grand prix, and as fans, we were all chatting about how Stewart was going to stay with the Tyrrell team, and coach Cevert. Francois Cevert was a very charming man, and I have no doubt that had he survived, he would have been an outstanding Diplomat for the sport. Meeting him is deeply etched in my memory, even though I was some 11 years old at the time
David Purley's desperate attempt to save Roger Williamson was strong stuff for daytime ITV in the 1980s. Didn't Marlboro pay for Brunswick's coverage which explains the focusing on the BRMs and the Isos. Good to see the very first victory for Frank Williams.
