F1, Hungary 1989 - Nelson Piquet OnBoard

That was a messy lap even for Nelson’s standards.. missed a gear into the chicane and hit curbs a few times. Fighting hard with an engine that most of the mid field guys ran and a terrible chassis from Lotus who had no money for development after paying for two highly rated Brazilian drivers for the last 5 years. Though I think they got better value from their Senna years.

Corria muito Nelsão, olhem só como ele controla a Lotus!

Where was the 6th gear?

Old F1 was amazing! Viva o Nelson.

Good old days.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Esse carro era uma merda. Nessa altura o Nelsão já corria pela grana mesmo.

かっこいい。

これが世界一のシフトチェンジか。

Que tratorzão complicado de guiar!

Brasil falta pilotos compesonalidade.

Amazing how much the circuit has grown up in the last 35 years, the skyline is bare in this video.

The slow days

Nota se claramente o Nelsao poupando motor quando ele antecipa as trocas de marchas. Se fosse no limite nao teria nem motor pra corrida

Que pilotagem foda 😃😃😃😃😃😃 O cara não usa a zebra da pista pra nada 👏👏👏👏
Grande Nelson Piquet

Nessa época o piloto tinha que saber passar a marcha na alavanca e virar a curva a mesmo tempo usando uma mão SÓ no volante desgate físico maior necessitando mais agilidade arrojo hoje é SÓ acelerar e apertar botões fora a eletrônica controlando o carro!

Awful construction, this car couldn't do it, it did not look smooth enough to be fast.

Nice. Pushing a bit

Piquet in my opinion is the greatest Brazilian driver!
Why ? Because he was pilot, engineer and developer!

This is what F1 should be like. Who would rather watch the current monstrosities over this delight to the senses? Rowing through the gears, feet jumping all over the pedals, slipping and sliding a fire breathing monster. C.mon F1, get your head out of your arses!

Nelson Piquet one of the greatest pilot in Formula 1.

Watching these drivers haul these beasts with a manual transmission is a thing of beauty.

Bring back the grass!

you are the best nelson; fred.

nelson a real master

I have always preferred the camera over the shoulder of the driver than the ones overhead. I think you get a much better drivers view and can appreciate the energy and speed of the car.

NELSNINHO, A LA PAR DE SENNA. eNORME PILOTO.

piquet was a good driver, but also an elitist prick. have you guys read about his feud with senna?

Lotus was using the Judd CV V8 with the 5-valve Tickford head around this time.

Yo, Y Lotus not so good in '88 n' 89? Same engine as McLaren

When racing was real racing...and the drivers were real drivers.

why did he shake his head at the last corner

I don’t think he was best pleased with that lap.

What a year 1989 was 20 teams, 39 drivers. Christ there were as many customer ford V8 teams as the entire 2022 grid.

he is very frustrating at the end wow

Was that the last 5-speed transmission ever used in F1? Or was it rather a weird gearing? 😅

唐突なオーバーステアに苦労しているようだ

My favorite F1 driver after Niki Lauda!

Was never a big fan of his, but he really knew how to operate the manual gearbox .

Fun fact, Max Verstappen's father, and his girlfriend's father were both team mates with Michael

Hoje nem esta sinfonia do motor existe mais, um detalhe carro nervoso ou arisco prefiro falar nervoso, volante simples sem parafernalia para ajudar, e um grande génio pilotando

Nelson is a LEGEND! He didn’t like that lap and don’t blame him. That car was crap when he drove for Lotus !

Incredible lap. Master Piquet. And he didn't get satisfied, the car definitely didn't help

That day the picket came third. However, the Lotus lost income and he only came sixth, saving one point. In fact, that week, he had announced his trip to Benetton.
