Those old school curbs were no joke.

Manual transmission in a race car is a thing of beauty

I attended all the Adelaide GP's, Eddie Cheever was the smoothest gear changer on the track, before you could see the car you could hear him coming & knew Eddie was about to drive past.

Cheever was a solid driver, should have won at least won GP

Surprised he lost it like that being such a smooth driver like Prost, Hill, Button. Prefer this circuit to the modern one at Albert Park.

Was Warwick not there that day

Arrows A11 was one of the best chasis of '89 season, and when Murray Walker mentioned the designer was Ross Brawn, I remember thinking he would probably go onto bigger and better things!

indeed a very good car, Warwick could well have won the Canadian gp if his engine hadn't failed

A continue fight with the steering wheel to keep the track! This was F1!

@@ebob4177 cars are better balanced, power steering. A lot easier to drive nowadays, it’s more point and shoot nowadays. I acknowledge cornering speeds are higher and G force higher, so you have to be fit, but drivers are more like jockeys now, in those days upper body strength was paramount to fight the car.

@@ebob4177 I enjoyed the mid to late 80’s best. Huge power, manual box, no power steering. It was about balls and skill in taming the thing. Very exciting.

Quite the futuristic steering wheel!

At the time, it was very unusual, adopted only because Cheever couldn’t exit the car quick enough for the escape test in Brazil. I believe it was described as a rudder

1:33 the way he trow out his steering wheel haha, those where the days.

Por essa eu não esperava 😮 Bons tempos da ARROWS... eu gostava dessa pintura "livery" 😍

Manual transmission should come back for good!

His final F1 weekend 👏🏻

The accident at the end was featured on the Official 1989 VHS Review. Shame Eddie didn't get points in his last GP here (he was on course for 5th, until he aquaplaned off just after halfway).

Those '89 cars were the best thing to watch, if I were to have an F1 car all to myself to drive it'd be one from that era. So beautiful watching the drivers work and heel/toe on downshifts etc.

That was unexpected.

This video is a perfect metaphor for the American Formula One experience. Not the best team. Not the best car. Good driver. Fast, occasionally. Smooth. Looking good, so far... Unfortunate ending.

Then along came Michael Andretti .....

I remember Eddie Cheever saying both he and Derek Warwick struggled to fit in the car, the cockpit was so small. They had to wear driving boots a couple of sizes too small other wise they couldn't fit their feet on the pedals.

I met Cheever, Warwick, and Stefan Johansson to get autographs as a kid. They turned up at the hotel quite merry 2 days before practice. Johansson was driving them all in a rental car, and when he pulled up, the other 2 got out and let down the tyres. I was 12 in 1989 and thought they were just the coolest!

Love the bumps and general violence of the effort ! Bit clinical now a days

Surprise ending!

This is not the race actually, this is qualifying for the `89 Australian Grand Prix. The race was run under heavy rain.

The crash at the end honestly scared me... Idk why

Give one of these cars to the whole grid, and let the drivers do some real men driving

😂 exceptional bin job at the end there.

Man I was gonna say that was a great ride and then the crash happened 😅

what a damage!

Remember his big stack at Aussie gp

Early Ross Brawn designed chassis.

😮

Saw the crowd

Cheever had what it takes.. it was him or Ayrton senna dicing for the win. I think it was Las Vegas, Formula One race. I was shocked that Cheever was right with senna. I think the difference was exactly what Prost said about Sena one time. Prost refused to be teammates with Sena when they both drove McLarens. Prost said, I refuse to be teammates with a man that is not afraid to die.” And Prost went to Ferrari. I think that was the difference between Cheever and Sena in Las Vegas.

wow totally missed his marks at the hairpin

School boy error, he put the hammer down to soon.
