My favourite F1 driver, Nigel Mansell, went to Ferrari after the fiasco of his 1988 season with Williams. He won the first race in Brazil in 1989 and i thought he had a real chance of winning the World Championship. Unfortunately his time at Ferrari was dogged by reliability problems and bad luck. He won 1 more race in 1989 at Hungary.

89 was first year I watched f1. Was a Ferrari fan before I’d ever seen a race. First race I watched was Brazil and a Ferrari win. Thought to myself how clever am I choosing Ferrari as my favourite team. Well I’m still a fan today and have had my heart broken by a prancing horse many times since that first race in Brazil. But for those moments of joy when it goes right the heart break is worth it. Just waiting on our next Shumi era. Won’t be long now 🤞

I would not mind if F1 uses these same cars every single year!

Quite possibly the best looking F1 car ever

One of the best, but not the best looking by far.

@@GBURGE55 Agreed. Even as a Tifoso, I have to give the Lotus 49 (orig, in green and yellow) that honor. The Ferrari 312 of that same year 67 is a close second for me. No question the 640/641 is one great looking car though.

Man that '89 Ferrari 640 is damn beautiful

My dad took me to the 1985 Dutch GP. That got me hooked as a young boy, but by the late 1980s I was old enough to really understand the sport and dig deeper, but Ferrari were always my favourite with Berger being my fav driver. Still use #28 in F1 games.

Zandvoort 1985..I'm jealous 😊 Welkom op mijn kanaal 👍

I had that onboard of Nigel at Estoril on VHS back in the day, and played it really loud to record on the outgoing message on my answering machine back then. My friends loved it, but most people were very confused...

The looks and the sound of this car... ❤

The 640 as it looked early in the season before the revised air box .. IMO the prettiest F1 car of all time.

True, it was pretty handsome

IMO the reason why Ferrari wasn't able to knock McLaren off their perch (and later outraced by not only Williams, but Benetton as well) was their Italian mentality (a.k.a Ferrari being Ferrari). Some of the staff was alegedly miffed that John Barnard was working from an office in England rather than Maranello (the ultimate sin). Thus his ideas were never taken straight away and even was barred from lunch in the pit garrage. That doesn't surprise me as this is Ferrari we're talking about - L'Italia prima di tutto. No wonder their last titles were when the team was less Italian (2007 and 2008 are somewhat continuation of the Schumacher, Brawn and Todt days).

@@ClassicFormulaOne1 The best race I ever went to was the 1985 Canadian GP. Alesi tossed his gloves over the fence to me because I sang "Happy Birthday" to him. He later went on to win that day. The Ferrari 412 T2 was the most amazing F1 car I ever heard. A very close second was the Ligier JS41 with the Mugen Honda. That was freaking loud.

@@chrisccc22 thank you, so many great cars to choose from! Right now I'm almost finished with my video about Lauda and Ferrari in 1977. After that I was thinking about doing a Jordan video about their 1999 car.

Mansell is the Formula one God ( ask Irvine lol)

Great video on the greatest team. Been watching, and cheering them on since 1982. Forza Ferrari! This was probably one of the favorite non winning years for me. I probably held Berger a bit higher than he deserved, but he drove for Ferrari, so he was the greatest. Nothing really to say about Nigel. He just did Mansell things.

Thanks mate, and what a beautiful car that Ferrari 640 was 🥰 Berger had a DNF spree almost all season, unbelievable. Mansell was in top form, quite sad he missed the Jerez race due to a penalty, he probably would have won that one too because the track suited his Ferrari.
