A very stable and well-handling car.
And to think, Senna did a 1.21.548 three years previously…. That said, it can be pointed out that having all the new chicanes is responsible for that. What isn't is the fact that Senna qualified on pole position with a time of 1.34.898 at Suzuka in 1991, whereas the cars five and six years later couldn't equal his time, and the track hadn't been modified at all.
What a beautiful circuit
1:01 so on the limit,he touches the dirt a little. Amazing to see how it doesnt come off the wheel until the braking zone either.
The renault engine sound is very special..round and very dry..staccatto!
On rails!
Very nice lap and upload ! : D
OP must of went to the driver name settings before starting as it says Villeneuve instead of William's No 1 driver or "The Canadian"
I think it's the 1st J Villeneuve's lap that he don't burn the tyres in the break. Congrats JV, the worst WDC ever
Bring back Imola to the calendar.
What a beautiful sound
A pleasure to watch
No doubt Senna woulda won it in '96 and '97 had he lived.
If Prost or Senna was driving this car, it would have won every race barring reliability.
Awesome!
Imagine a Senna driving this williams f1 car uffff:(
The rear is stable. Aero and diffuser works.
Fun thing I recently learned about this car. While the steering wheel had 2 paddles behind it. The one on the right did the shifting. Pull back to go up and push away to go down. You can see Villeneuve's right hand moving while he's down shifting. The left one was the clutch.
I wish we had those full grey kerbs back, looks unique
To think Senna would have been blasting around in that car, dominating the season had he not been killed, would have changed many things, Schumacher never joining Ferrari, perhaps Adrian Newey would have stayed at Williams because he loved working with Senna, Perhaps the Brawn, Byrne, Schumacher dream team would have gone to McLaren to build something dominant years down the line with all that Merc money, Perhaps Schumacher would have managed his career the way Hamilton does and taken on the challenge of having Hakkinen as a team mate, Ferrari perhaps be 43 years with no title today
Essa Williams era máquina
where do you get all these videos?
