If you only watch modern Formula One, you can´t imagine how great F1 races were some time ago.
Monza 1971 Italian GP
This race is from a Time Machine… from a time when it was really dangerous, when circuits had no run off areas, drivers had fuel on their Normal sides – lots of drivers present in this race ended dying while racing!
I always heard about it but never saw it. Turns out that… This is possibly the best race of all time!
At least 5 cars dispute the lead from the start to finish – but this number reached 11!
5 cars finished in less than 1 second!!!
This race held several records for long time: such as “fastest average speed race”and “closest finish ever”
This was also the last race in Monza without any chicanes. Unfortunately, tv coverage was really poor these days and it is in black and white. It doesn´t make this race any justice at all.
