I can’t believe how much in detail these guys remember the race
They lived it, day in day out. It must be close to their hearts and minds, such things are difficult to forget.
@@architranjan2361 Well when the drivers have raced 100-300 races, one would imagine that looking back; the individual races would blend together... They likely rewatched the race to jog their memory before being interviewed.
@@ballaking1000 I agree, I'm league racing and there are some outlier races I can remember easily and fondly, but most just blur themselves
You are joking right?
@@ballaking1000 This isn't "one of many" races though.
I guess you can still remember specific days from school right? Activity days, trips...
If something happens out of the ordinary, you remember it, especially a chaotic race like this.
_"That's Schumacher! Shumacher!"_ - you can practically picture him pointing aggressively at the screen in natural, shocked reaction as he sees it
Yea he probably didn't do that
@@Blackout201_ ¿Qué sabes, pendex?
@@Blackout201_ yeah you probably have never seen murray commentating.
@@Blackout201_ "When he's commentating, Murray sounds like his trousers are on fire. Well, when you see him in the commentary box, he often LOOKS like his trousers are on fire!"
- former BBC producer Jonathan Martin
He was famous for commentating standing up, pacing excitedly around the commentary box with his old school "lip microphone", pointing at monitors, pointing at the windows... quite the sight to see! lol
*Damon Hill about to overtake Schumacher at the start*
Cut to :
It’s Lance Stroll!
legit made me laugh
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?! WE NEED TO KNOW!!!!
I was expecting to see stroll go over the kerbs.
Hahaha the day official F1 do that is the day they become the best channel on CZcams :D
yeah in the yearly meme video I definitely expect that
WHAT HAS HAPPENED???..WE NEED TO KNOW! ....
The last french driver win until Gasly in 2020
And Gasly was Born the year Olivier Panis won his only Grand Prix. Interesting enough the same thing happen in MotoGP. The last French Grand Prix winner Regis Laconi won his only Grand Prix the year Fabio Quartararo the next French GP winner was born
Frenchecption
isnt charles leclerc from France as well
@@dumpsterfire295 Charles is from Monaco, not France
@@dumpsterfire295 Monaco, "totally a different country don't touch our income tax"
I hope they keep doing a 'revisiting' series for old races 👀
Id honestly love to see Europe 1999 (I might be wrong, I am referring to the race where the Steward GP won the race)
Me too Buddy. Though why they even bothered to include Villeneuve in this, he had little to contribute to the race standings really.. though I guess he was in Monaco at the time and if I had the chance to meet with him and chat, yeah I'd do it too.. he's a colorful character.
@@DuncanCunningham I would definitely have asked Irvine for this race more than Jacques, but maybe Eddie wasn't at Monaco this year
Belgium 98 would be an epic episode.
@@DuncanCunningham villeneuve is one of our french tv commentators in france so he was in monaco since the usual Romain Grosjean was in Indy this weekend
I can’t believe DC didn’t share the story of why he’s wearing Michael Schumacher’s spare helmet in the race
Yeah :( schumacher was such a sportsman to lend his helmet
He might have, but it didn't make it in the episode due to time limitations.
I can’t believe it fitted his great chin 🤯
@@thedeamonmeteor69420 lol
@@thedeamonmeteor69420 The Michael also had a great chin
I can't believe this video misses out the incredible record associated with this race: only the top three were classified finishers, giving this Grand Prix the highest rate of attrition of any F1 race ever.
7 drivers were classified (because they completed enough laps), but only three finished.
Frentzen was running fourth and last, so he pitted on the last lap.
Nice series! I guess Panis was not in Monaco this weekend: would have made this small documentary complete.
In can't believe they couldn't even do a Zoom with him or something
i misread panis...
His Beyond the Grid interview was excellent and he talked a lot about the race.
@@scullystie4389 Panis is still actively racing so maybe there's a conflict of schedule
@@abeerb8555 bruh 😂
This actually might be my favourite ever F1 race. Had a bit of everything: Collisions, spins, tragedy, triumph and attrition. Still has the record for the fewest ever finishers with three.
Mine too actually. In a very well deserved tie with Belgium 98. Another equally bonkers race
1999 European GP was crazy too
I can remember watching this Monaco GP live, it was amazing. For me personally, it was Malaysia 2011, especially as I was a Verstappen senior fan, that race was crazy. And Brazil 2016, same reason, but jr. working the magic.
@@jaspervos4345 a verstappen senior fan? No way
@@cereal-killer4455 Yeah. Not the person, but the driver. Was all-or-nothing, which was always fun to watch. And very gifted rain-driver (Schumacher himself said Jos was better in rain than Schumacher himself) By the way, love your internet-name, haha.
When Monaco TV directors still cared
To be fair there were so few cars left towards the end of the race that there wasn't much to miss!
Not really. At the start we didn‘t really get to see Damon Hill passing Michael Schumacher for the lead.
@@julianruther4550 You're right, we got interrupted by Stroll going over a kerb
obligatory "it used to be better" comment, even if it doesn't make sense
@@Iggy3 Yeah, in those days TV directing was left to local teams of the countries F1 visited, so very often it was *much* worse than what we have now.
I was half expecting a “My name is Michael Schumacher and I have raced for Ferrari in the Monaco Grand Prix several times”
Oh and may I say Jean Alesi now looks better than I have ever looked in the peak of my life
don't think Schumacher can even speak right now
I remember watching this race like it was yesterday, Panis thoroughly deserved the win, from 14th to 1st, and he made quite a few passes too during the race. Probably not given enough credit by Coulthard. Panis had a habit of finishing races with attrition, he had a couple of 2nd place finishes in his career as well.
Murray Walker commentating? Perfect.
Any race with Murray is always a great race
@@rickstrolled970 Amen!
Best F1 commentator ever..
Even better as our commentator at Ziggo (Dutch tv) called Olav Mol.
@@ml8022 Dat is nogal makkelijk
7:42 Excuse me while I travel back in time to 1996 and bet £10 on Panis winning.
To this day I'm so gutted for Alesi. He had the win in his hands. Would have been memorable.
Like so many of his races...
@@Cancoillotteman Yes, but A. other than Monza 95 this was the closest he was to the finish when retiring in the lead B. a win in Monaco will ALWAYS be considered legendary, no matter how lucky (i.e. benefiting from Hill's engine failure), unlike, say, a win in Canada.
@@alesi257 true on both accounts, but still if there is a legend attached to your name, you have to roll with it. Alesi was destined to "almost" win so many races ^^
I was sponsoring the Benetton that year, was the closest we came to a win all year. Still feel sorry for Jean ...
@@rorykeegan1895 Germany they came close as well.
In 30 years time...Kimi, Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton, Max, Leclerc in same interview
Well Leclerc shouldn't be used for last race :p
In 10 years time, Jenson, Seb, Lewis and Fernando will talk about Canada 2011. In 30 years, Max, Charles and Lewis will talk about Germany 2019
Kimi might still be racing in 30 years.
You should do one about the Brazilian gp which Senna won in 6th gear. Love the new series (hopefully🤞)
Unfortunately they won't be able to interview Ayrton Senna. 😔 But you have just reminded me of another Brazilian Grand Prix story... I'd love for them to interview Nigel Mansell about his 1989 win. That was a bonkers race!
It was 1993 I think right ?
They could interview Alain Prost or Damon Hill, Barrichello and Johnny Herbert
No matter how much it is impossible to overtake in Monaco i will always love it for races exactly like this.
The suspense of the possibility that a driver can bin it at any moment from the first lap till the last is fantastic.
Imo, don't change anything about the track.
I thought the TV director at Monaco was bad this year. In 1996 they missed Hill's overtake on Schumacher for the race lead at the start only to show cars zooming around at the back.
at least they didnt cut off middle of the overtake lol
Quite common back then, the director would have the whole field cycle through and then cut back to the leaders.
2:12 how tiny the car was 😍
Way better than today's car's dimensions, in my opinion...
Thats why monaco was great for that era of cars.
Even with a smaller car it was still hard to overtake.
@@mcmobius1 but now it's harder
it made me extremely sad that Schumi is not here to share his part of story. always my childhood hero
0:01, three things. He missed Lance stroll jumping over the chicane
Honourable mention: Perez in the pits
Please bring 'FIA Driver Briefing' sessions BACK!! That was one of the best series you made. The Office vibes were wholesome
i support that!
Such a great video. Thank you for the retrospective. I was especially impressed that you got interviews with David, Jacques, and Jean. My racing heroes of the day!
I think I'm going to like this series. I love hearing from past drivers. Formula 1 has such an interesting history. I'd love for them to interview Nigel Mansell about his 1989 Brazilian Grand Prix win. I never get tired of hearing about how he booked an early flight back to Europe because he was unconvinced about this weird new technology that Ferrari was trying to introduce where you change gears using a paddle on your steering wheel. That car hadn't lasted more than 20 laps during testing without breaking down. Annoyingly, as the race went on he drove past his team mate, who broke down as expected, but Mansell's car kept going! He ended up missing his flight because he had to stay until the chequered flag.... which was waved to him in 1st place. Then he cut his hand on the trophy. Also, Derek Warwick (who sometimes works as steward these days) nearly won that race in a mid-field running Arrows (designed by a young Ross Brawn). Warwick had a pitstop disaster and ended up only 5th. And Johnny Herbert finished 4th in his first race back since smashing up his feet in a bad accident. Crazy race! The three drivers are still around and I think they would make an interesting episode.
So many moments worth Rick Strolling
A shame That the start was interupted by Stroll still mad Til this day
daddys cash paying for screen time on the TV
@@sirmounted8499 even canned laughter wouldn't laugh at that joke
@@gabrielbeaulne8837 wasn't a joke
If you're only ever going to win one race, Monaco has to be the one. Well done Olivier. I remember this race as if it were yesterday.
2:22 THAT’S SHUMAKA
This is the kind of stuff I'll happily come back for! Love it! Hope to see more of these!
Alesi: "Then the race really started for me."
Murray Walker: "It's lap 11 and Hill is 16 seconds ahead of Alesi."
LOL
well back then that wasnt that surprising. different strategies, refueling was allowed. 90s had lots of races where the guys fighting at the front would be 20-40 seconds apart, only to come together in the end when the strategies were playing out. damon could have been going with lesser fuel than alesi.
@@broncobalboa But he wasn't, Hill's Williams was simply that much faster than the Benetton.
The timing of this Video was perfect. I was sitting at work and watching the Highlights and Races from '96 and when i approached the last 15 minutes of the Monaco GP my Phone vibrated and this was Uploaded. Couldn't have been better XD
Damon was talking about his retirement in F1 podcast this week. Unfortunately he's not in Monaco, would've more fun if he join this interview
I had this race in VHS. In this race Alesi was spectacular. A pity his suspension. It would have been a brilliant win. But happy for Panis. It was his D day...
i can't believe what an absoulte unit Jean Alesi is
1:48 - as we can see here, LanceStrolling was 25 years in the making!
People say that Monaco is boring but in reality lots of cool things have happened. Kimi and the Yaht, More than half the grid dnfing!!
Monaco gp is BS get over it. You said "a lot of cool things happened" but then proceed to only give 2 example. One of those wasn't even racing related lol
@@ozamatazbuckshank7467 It dosent have to be a racing related incident. Monaco is still an interesting circuit.
Jacques still has an extremely young voice
˝hello! I'm Michael Schumacher and in 1996 I was driving for ferrari˝... that's what i had in my mind
I wish Schumacher never had the skiing accident 😭
@@Josh-ft3ri we all do
I get a feeling this could well be the most thrilling channel on CZcams if the guys at F1 produce more content like this.
Terrific race! keep posting more video like this one. This was superb!
1982 Mônaco Grand Prix: "Pff, hold my beer."
Monaco 82 is like the 92 edition, it's only memorable for the final five laps or so
Monaco 96 on the other hand was nuts from the lights to the flag with 8 drivers retiring in the first three laps to only three drivers taking the chequered flag
@@reptongeek 84 was epic as well but not many drivers to interview, the main characters in that race (senna, bellof) are sadly not among us anymore.
@@r.dekker858 Well you still have Prost, Mansell and Alboretto. Especially Alain and Nigel who had a real influence on that race :)
@@Cancoillotteman Alboretto? No, we don't have him anymore.
@@Cancoillotteman Arnoux as well. Sadly Alboreto is no longer with us
I want to see the 96 qualifying that Schumacher pole was awesome.
INCREDIBLE content from F1 Channel! Loving it! Great stuff! Bringing these back with extra info and the editing perks of today's tech... awwww such a smooooooth operatooooooooor
The 90s really is the dark decade of F1. Aside from Suzuka 1990, San Marino/Imola & Adelaide 94, and Jerez 97, the entire decade is often ignored in conversations of great F1 seasons & races. In fact, it really was a great decade with some of the closest championships in F1 history, as well as two of the greatest wet weather drives in the history of the sport (Senna at Donnington 93, and Schumacher at Spain in 96).
The 1997 season was particularly remarkable: first year of a tyre war, last year before big technical rules changes, 6 (!) different teams in the position of fighting for a win at least once during the season (Prost and Arrows helped by Bridgestone), the two drivers in the fight for the championship never once on the podium together...
That was my first f1 race. We was at my grandpa's Bday and i was 6 years old. Never forget this race
Yes! We need more of these retrospectives!
Alesi looking healthier, stronger and younger now than I do at my 35-years of age.
I love that Alesi was always the first driver to ask for slicks on a drying track, such an exciting driver to watch!
This was the day I was born! I'm only getting into F1 now, but I'm really enjoying looking back at all this!
4:46 When you see Alesi and Panis in the two first positions, you know it's not an usual gp xD
Really nice piece you guys put together!
If you could only win One race in F1, what better trophy would it be other than the Monaco GP. Olivier Panis became french legend that day
If Alesi had reliable cars he’d have won ships
Nah. He'd have won a few races he should have won, for sure, but he was never in the position of fighting for a championship, performance wise.
@@Olivyay in the early 90s williams also offered him a contract, but he refused and went to ferrari, he could've won championships if he went to williams
@@frostbytes5718 Ah yes, I remember that. Maybe in 1992 if he had been in Mansell's place, but not sure he would have beaten Patrese.
@@Olivyay as much as I loved Alesi because he was an overtaker in an era when they were few and far between, I have to agree with you.
@@frostbytes5718 Actually it wasn't quite as simple as that. Williams offered him a contract which he signed at once.
Mansell then announced his retirement from Ferrari, leading to Ferrari needed a new driver
Alesi, who Williams hadn't announced as a driver, was getting edgy about why they had yet to announce him, found out Ferrari were interested in him
Williams, meanwhile, started talking to Mansell about a return
Ferrari offered Alesi a contract, which he signed.
Williams, sensing easy money, took Ferrari to court over the contract for a driver they didn't want, and won an out of court settlement to "allow" Alesi to go to Ferrari
Williams then sign Mansell.
It was Ligier I believe who stopped the earliest for dry tires which paid off. He's team deserve full credit as well
in the 90s: all about patient, mistakes, gap, opportunity.
now: soft tires, medium tires, hard tires.
PLEASE MORE VIDEO LIKE THIS! PLEASE, THIS IS GOLD
Alesi'French accent is incredible
We want these more often!!
This is a great video idea ! I hope we'll get more races told by those in it !
Looking forward to this series. I grew up with this era of Formula 1, so great memories. And bittersweet to know that Schumi won't be able to comment on them :-(
Jeez man I can not believe just how old these guys are now it’s nuts it feel so recent
1:55 hope to hear this again in the future and that Williams is so pretty😍
I was born in 1991 I started watching Formula One at this very race grown-up listening to Murray Walker every weekend brings back memories of this race and many more what a legend rest in peace we all love you
I miss Msc :(
We have MSC at home. MSC at home:
@@samueljayachandran2849 Have some respect kid, your comments are pathetic dumb. Joking about someone in his worst health condition is just makes you worse person.
Even in 1996 the tv direction failed to catch overtakes in the race
This is absolutely fantastic! Please give us more
💯👌🏎️👍 Top explanation about what is a stering wheel is all about! Thank you very much for the opportunity to know what all those buttons are etc 🙌
Great times, Great cars, Great drivers. Thank you F1
WOW,i can't believe that 1996 Monaco GP was one of the craziest races in formula one,all these three f1 legends who involved in the race sure have a lot of memories,respect for the three of them.
great vid thanks for sharing
Nice, I like retrospectives that channel posts
So this series is going to be like The Vault but detailed? nice
Didn’t expect this series, hope to see more of it.
I'm happy to see a lot of drivers I miss in this video.
I never realized how French Jean Alesi is😂
Imagine Max Verstappen in 30 years on this show...
Pretty unbeatable
Max will become the greatest ever
At the minute he got Hamilton stopping him a lot. When Hamiltons gone I don't think there is anyone at Maxs level.
@@maidenslayer If Ferrari has a competitive car there is Leclerc, if McLaren then Norris, if Mercedes then George and I think he'll have plenty competition.

MORE OF THESE PLZ!!
I wish you guys used audio from the Olivier Panis beyond the grid interview - he had so much to say about this race and how it changed his life.
More of these throwbacks 🙌🏼
When I read the title I almost thought f1 is visiting a classic track
Please do many more of these!
Coulthard lost the race because McLaren choose to pit Mika Hakkinen for slicks before him,Irvine Panis pitted on lap 28,Hakkinen on lap 29,Coulthard on lap 30....well done Ron Dennis :(
This is an awesome format!
Really sad that 98% of New F1 Fans Don’t Know About This Race at Monaco..
They Believe 2018 was much more Interesting
How would you know what people believe?
Instagram Polls.
@@baysea259 How would you know that instagram polls represent the new F1 fans? Come on...
Man Someone who has watched F1 for longer than let’s say 5 years won’t vote for 2018 or 2006 over 1996 or 1984 or 1982. Will they?
@@baysea259 you don't speak about the same thing now. We were replying about how you could know new F1 fans' mind.
Cool video, more of old skool pls 👍❤️
What a fascinating race. I wasn't born back then, having been born the year after, but I would've loved to see it.
The liveries on these cars are so much better than todays. Imo. That '96 arrows (red and blue) was gorgeous
One of my favourite Monaco gps
more of this please!
Need more of these stories
Panis is one of the greatest "what if"s in F1 history imo. He was mighty in 97 until his accident, and then the Prost cars were awful thereafter.
that beautiful time!
Very nice to see Jacques Villeneuve as a commentator
I enjoyed this video! Just letting drivers speak about something they are passionate about.
Now that's some premium content!
This is the first race I have memories of watching in front of the TV...
What can be more exciting than a rainy race in Monaco !! 🤩
Never gets old, even though how many times you have watched the race. Irvine's jackassing was a bit too much and still hurts. Salo was going to get third on Tyrrell!
