Ranking EVERY F1 Car of the 1990s!
Vložit

- The 1990s was an interesting period for Formula 1 car development. Long gone were the brash and unforgiving ground effect and turbo cars of the 1980s, and in came a period of aerodynamic refinement, significant technological advancements, and major improvements in safety standards. These cars are about as varied in race performance and build quality as you can find, constituting some of the very best, and very worst in race car design. As with my videos ranking every F1 car of the 2000s and 2010s, I shall be ranking these cars based on their speed over one lap, competitiveness relative to contemporary cars, driveability, build quality, how innovative they were, and how reliable they were. With that out of the way, here’s a comprehensive ranking of all 155 Formula 1 cars of the 1990s.

Can't imagine how much time you spent on ranking the minnows who barely finished races 😭
Bro comments on every F1 youtube channel
Moin
@@ethanholland8006he is literally one of the presenters for Peter's podcast 😭
Finished races? A lot of teams didn’t even get thru qualifying!
Great job as usual. One suggestion for the future: maybe leave the team/car name on screen while you’re talking about it (along with the stats)? It’s easy to look away for a moment or pause the video, and lose track of which exact team/car/year is being discussed.
I second this, great idea
Putting the car name under the stats on the left, plus the year would be so great
For sure!
That’s exactly the video I hoped for. Nothing from F1 is more interesting than early 90s late 80s cars
Was waiting for #10 tbh.
its all more interesting imo
Pretty much so because of the bans. They only kept the paddle shifters and power steering.
Completamente de acordo.
Man thank you so much for this!
Those are the cars of my youth and I watched every race with my father!
We usually sat outside and grilled with the whole family while watching the races.
I love and cherish those memories so much!
As Germans we were of course huge Schumacher fans!
9
Well the Venturi thing escalated pretty quickly......
I’m not a huge F1 fan, but your videos are super helpful in learning about the interesting history of the sport. I appreciate the effort and research that you show, as well as your clear passion for the sport. Keep up the good work!
I loved F1 until around 2007. The 80s and 90s were much better.
Oh yeah, videos like this, when you hear about each team and car, stack together and eventually you find yourself putting the dots together for other stories and recognizing parts of famous moments :)
Finally can not wait to see this video and im sure the Life L190 is last on this list
Respect for ranking quite a lot of cars that don't deserve anything whatsoever, top work!
That AGS JH25(B)…..first thing I thought when i saw it was ‘Alonso’s 2018 helmet….on wheels!’ 🤣
Good or bad one thing for sure... This 90's cars are gorgeous.
Thanks again for this beautiful trip through nostalgia 🙏
Mate, you are becoming the GOAT (not Goatifi) of F1 history, tier lists, rankings and overall amazing content. Please don't ever change, your videos get me through the work day. Incredible work as always!
One of the best F1 videos I’ve ever watched.
90s is the greatest era. Thanks for your work.
No, the 90's were only cool until around 1995, then it was garbage.
The Life car must be the worst.. and FW14b the best ? (But still wonder what Mansell could have done with the FW15C )
I consider the 1997 Lola T97/30 the last "stinker" in F1 history.
While some Minardi, Arrows, Super Aguri and Williams cars which came later were bad they weren't "utterly hopeless" like the Lola T97/30 was. All those aforementioned were usually last but every now and then their drivers produced a spirited drive and put them ahead of the 2nd and 3rd worst cars. The Lola however would have been several seconds off the pace of even the 2nd worst car even if Schumacher and Villeneuve were the signed drivers.
One can't help but to wonder if Lola had gotten their wish of 1998 entry granted. Would they have lasted several seasons? Who knows, maybe Honda would have rekindled their own relationship with them from the past and backed them as a "B-team" going into the 2000's...
Super Aguri SA05 was a stinker. It was used in 7 races and they were always at least one lap down to next finisher and qualified 1.5 second slower. Though considering that it was only an evolutionary version of 4 year old unreliable lower midfield car..it fared much better than expected.
In 2002 we almost got a stinker: Phoenix racing was planning to run that year. They had bought 2001 Prost GP assets that hadn't been upgraded after last season..and Prost GP had one of the slowest cars that year. To make things worse they were planning to use Arrows F1-engines from 1998..when that had been the worst engine around.
Unfortunately (for them) they had only bought those assets, not their team. So they were regarded as a new team and they would have to pay $48 million entry fee and obviously they didn't have that kind of money.
Definitely a stench coming from the Lola but I think those HRTs weren't far off
the 2010 HRT and 2015 Manor were terrible tbf
I don't understand how this amazing video has only 15k views
As we know Perry McCarthy, would be back in a big way when top gear resumed in 2002
Y'know those videos you don't want to watch but you have to? This is one of those videos. Awesome fix for the off-season. Thanks.
New video from Peter Brook? I know what I’m doing for the next 2 hours
The greatest F1 video from the greatest era in the sport!
This is exactly the content and analysis I subscribed for. There is no other channel that does it so thorough than yourself. Superb!
Gosh thank you so much for this video, it was such a treat! Not only the stories about teams and drivers but also tons of pictures and videos, especially of the lesser known, minnow cars.
Your attention to detail in putting this together is unbelievable. Great work Peter!
I am looking forward to this. From the Andrea Moda in which they tried to murder Perry McCarthy because they couldn't fire him to the legendary Williams FW14B! 😁😁😁
Awesome video as usual, thanks a lot! Small mistake at 1:09:25, Jerez was not on the 1995 calendar, I assume you meant the European Grand Prix which is correct. This GP was held in Nürburgring like in 1996, Jerez being the European GP track in 1994 and 1997.
Lauda, Cheever, Johansson,Rosberg,Watson,Hill and even Mansell would be surprised to hear Prost wasn't a particularly fast qualifier. Even Ayrton Senna knew his two closest teammates over a lap were Berger and Prost. Hakkinen had too few races to count.
However, Gerhard went all out like a madman...yet was only a couple of hundredths closer. Mansell had the poles but Prost was more consistent and they were 8-8. Arnoux was destroyed in 81 closer next year, but had 18 poles. Watson had to use all his 34 year old wiles in 1980 to barely edge the rookie Prost.
Senna was an anomaly you don't have today. Hamilton,Verstappen and Leclerc are very close as was Mansell, Prost and Berger before the Michael came along.
"Mansell had the poles but Prost was more consistent and they were 8-8." Well, then they were even in the qualifying duels and since only Mansell put the Ferrari on pole in 1990 it's awfully hard to claim that Prost was most consistent in *qualifying* . He was clearly more consistent in the *races* themselves but that doesn't automatically translate to consistency in qualifying.
Likewise it was 5-5 in Renault poles for Prost and Arnoux in 1982.
"Hamilton,Verstappen and Leclerc are very close"
Verstappen didn't qualify on pole until his 93rd F1 race. But the Red Bull... Yes, *Ricciardo* put the same Red Bull on pole three times in 2016-2018.
Leclerc came to Ferrari in 2019 and had 7 poles to Vettel's 2. Fact is Leclerc had more than both Hamilton and Bottas (5 each in 2019).
"Mansell, Prost and Berger before the Michael came along." Well, both Prost and Mansell had retired from F1 by 1994 and Berger was stuck with Ferrari during their worst ever era. Schumacher's first pole was at the 1994 Monaco GP. More importantly the first race after Senna's death at Imola. So the field was rather *watered down* following Senna's death. Fact is the 1994 Monaco GP only had 4 previous winners. Something which hadn't been seen since the 1958 Morocco GP (Fangio had retired earlier in the year and Ascari was dead). Yes, 36 years prior.
Who were the four previous winners btw? Schumacher, Hill, Berger and Alboreto(!).
Like I said, watered down. A whole e lot easier to shine, especially with Senna gone.
@@McLarenMercedes More consistent in that Alain Qualified between 2nd and 13th, whilst Nigel 1st down to 17th. Prost was 4.5 on average Grid vs 4.69 for Mansell. Prost Qualified 2nd 4 times to Mansells 0. Both Qualified 3rd 3 times. At the skill street tracks of Phoenix, Monaco and Montreal Prost was much faster...Nigel a little quicker at Hungaroring. The most shocking is their finishing position. Even excluding full DNFs Mansell finished an average of 6th to Prosts 2nd!
Impressive presentation, thank you.
The thing I personally find really baffeling:
155 cars to look at, and the viable winners start only around the top 30, the _real_ winners only make up the top 20!
Success in F1 simply never was well-balanced and never will be, which to me, despite my once enormous love for this sport, always appeared as one of it's bigger flaws.
This is AMAZING!
Coloni-Ford - Basically a 1989 spec car, used for one driver and it never got out of pre-qualifying as it was just totally uncompetitive. The phoenix team of it, Andrea Moda was about the same in terms of total non-performance
Not entirely correct. From the German GP 1990 onwards Gachot managed to regularly beat the Prequalifiers only to qualify 30th in every Qualifying Coloni attended that year. The "After-Subaru" car with Cosworth engine was better then it's predeccessor (plus the Subaru engine was a joke)
I really hope you are going to do the 80s next. so many crazy cars and iconic drivers, much more technological diversity (ground effect cars/turbochargers) ...it will be interesting
Yes! The 80s will be a great vid - if only for the '88-'89 pre-qualifying era cars. It's also the last video that's (relatively) straightforward to do - once you go pre-'81, you get into the minefield that is private entries (e.g. privately entered Williams and Lotus cars).
Heard it on Patreon first, still gonna give the yt video some love❤
Ive enjoyed this, thanks for all the effort that went into it
A very detailed summary throughout. Well done!!!
Wow!! Was hopeing this was gonna be made thxu so much
Ive learned so much F1 history from your research. Thanks for the channel.
So informative and accurate !
I've personally seen most of these cars over the years at grand prixs
They have bought back wonderful memories of a much simpler but just as enjoyable f1 era !
Thank you so much made my day 😊
Said whatever you want, but as a child growing up that era, still love those liveries. 😂
Great video,thanks!!
Ok, you got me! I have subscribed! Amazing work for this video! 👍👍👍👍
what a nice view to the past. especially the first half of the video puts so many long forgotten teams on the map, really interesting.
This is awesome. You did a great job with this. I can’t imagine how much time it must have taken to research and create this video.
If you do on from the 80’s that would be awesome.
This video is a tour de force! Really enjoyed seeing all the F1 cars of my youth - the great, the good, the mediocre, the bad, and the absolutely awful.
I'm as far as 130, and as a lifelong Minardi fan I am absolutely amazed to be yet to see said Minardi.
Amazing video! Earned a quick subscriber, and will be adding views to your others as quickly as possible too 😊
That Jordan 191 is one of the most beautiful F1 cars ever made
I think you really underrated the 95 williams car. A lot of their failures were up to driver error
Credit where it is due, this is fantastic. Your driver videos suffered for you not having seen the races, Nelson Piquet being done the dirtiest, that is not a problem here. An important record of an amazing time for the sport, reminds me of current day WEC. What a contrast to the insular gatekeeping of F1 today.
Make a video talking about if the 2010 new team managed to survive to this day how the yould be in the actual grid.
Great video! Hope you'll be going further into F1 decades (80s, 70s, etc.), although the number of cars will inevitably increase
Traction control of the benneton 1994:
Proof came out in 2014 when one of the '94 teammates came out and told that schumacher used traction control that year, explains why herbert was over a second slower per lap i guess
Senna was right after all.
this is a really cool and interesting video idea 😍
could you do also 2010’s?
he already did 1 year ago
@@Salod7806 oopsie I meant 2010’s not 2000’s
Well done Peter. For 1990 Osella ran the FA1M at the first 2 races before introducing the FA1Me with very different sidepods.
The Tyrrell 026 had some good innovations, like the flick ups on the front wing endplates before most other teams. It was a pretty decent chassis. It’s biggest weakness was it’s diffuser which was tiny. A forced compromise because Tyrrell didn’t have the budget to do the necessary gearbox and drivetrain redesign to accommodate a competitive diffusor shape. This is why they ran a high rear wing angle at almost every event. A massive disadvantage for an otherwise decent package. Something we can see fully realised in 1999 with the Jordan.
38:08 - Don't think we didn't hear that 😉
The GR02 should be higher based on qualifying pace as it was unreliable in races as the team was running out of money. It qualified on the 6th row out of 13 several times, much better than a lot of higher ranked cars.
Got to be you greatest video I love how you do team that that never start a race do you use cap cut to make your videos?
I use Filmora!
01:09:24 I don't remember F1 racing at Jerez in 1995 (Source: Far too many hours on Formula 1 for the PlayStation 1)
Amazing that F1 cars from this period had technology used in road cars today.
Another fact about the Life L190, the chassis they bought from First originally failed the FIA Crash Test, and there was only one of them ever made. Essentially, the Life team were running a deathtrap, and if it crashed, it meant their entire season was over.
Also regarding Perry McCarthy, he would be more famously known as the "Original Stig" or the "Black Stig" (he had all black gear unlike Ben Collins' Stig who wore all white.)
Nice subtle mention of Ricardo Tosser in there 😂
What an undertaking. 👌🏼
Didn't expect a Lando appearance in a 19-"90!!" video 😛
38:08 don't think we wouldn't notice! 😄
The MP4-14 should be higher imo. Regardless of that, good video
I thought it would probably be either the 1992 or 1993 Williams for No 1 but thought you may have gone the other way. Also thought the 1998 McLaren might nip a podium!!
4 hours long? 💀
34:56 why is the BAR/Tyrell missing half its frontwing in that picture?
Man, Coloni surely build some horrific cars.
Who funds such an organization without any chance of even starting?
Very well documented. Very nice. I agree perfectly with the 92 and 93 Williams for being the fastest cars of the 90s. But The B194 should be much higher. It was very fast before regulation changes. and Schumy would have won 10 out of 14 GP he competed in (if you take Spa and Silverstone in consideration where he was penalised and DSQ)
For the 80s Video, I'm predicting the MP4/2 to be the winner and the FW11 as 2nd. Both great succes in 2 or even 3 seasons
The Stewart Ford's were great looking cars. 👌
Before I watch Top 1 will probably bethe 1992 or 1993 Williams.
F1 nowadays going "nooo andretti can't get in despite having heritage because they may not perform, ignore that the 107% rule exists, aaaaahhhhh it's toooootally not about money"...
And then like half of this list consists of cars that didn't finish in 50+% of the races they entered, much less cars that only entered a race like ONCE.
The arrows a19 was a very good chassis held back by a poor engine. Just watch it around Monaco in the hands of Mika Salo in 1998 and it’s balance was sublime. It was a mistake to put the Minardi M198 ahead of it which objectively was an appalling car and new for that season whereas the Arrows was a year old and still managed to score a point.
They were mostly very pretty cars. I'd love a Minardi coffee table.
The lotus 107 deserves a better ranking
I'd say the 2nd simtek should be much further up, at least compared to the first...
Did the 1994 cars run extended end plates?
I understand the technology, but it's hard to believe in all the potential of the FW15C when Prost barely won 7 races. Senna won 5 and wasn't that far behind the Super Williams.
why does it say the first several cars had 0 races when they did race, great video though
I still think that 93 williams is one of the prettiest f1 cars of all time too before they messed it all up and raised the noses
Was it intentional when you called Ricardo Rosset, Ricardo Tosser?
38:07
No pun intended, right?! 😅
How much has the editing killed you off?😂😂
I was hoping you start doing vids on the 90s, looking forward to older ones. Succesful grand prix cars before 1950 are interesting too imo
Great video mate - well done for putting it all together. I always considered that the FW15C was the greatest too because it had all the tech and a development of the 14B but then I watched this interview with Alain Prost and it's changed my mind completely. Basically according to Alain 'the active car in 93 was very difficult' and went on to say that the FW14B was more to his liking, 'this car was much much easier to drive' . He went on to say that the 14B was simpler in its active ride - basically just controlling the ride height but the 15C was much more complex. Anyway it's worth a watch and I do vividly remember that Alain was never particularly happy in 93. I think if it's just pure car performance you'd put the 15C on top though. czcams.com/video/PWtXyM7N0tM/video.html
lola and the life cars neet the own tier slowe than a snall
1980s I waiting
get that active suspension back jo
Now do 90's CART cars 😊
43:37 Bro...
I’ve been downloading many of these cars as mods in Assetto Corsa and this helps gauge a better aspect of which are good and which are…. Shiet. Thanks!
80's next? And will you do this down the the 50's?
Tbh i am *slightly* dissappointed there was no extra point/deduction for looking like shit or not lmao
instalike
i watch later
thx
15:39 the Pacific has to be the best looking worst car of all time
The 94 Simtek might be a close second
mclaren 1999 should be higher, it was a rocket
38:09 Did you just call Rosset ... Tosser?
