Wow, whenever I go back to the 'childhood days' of my F1 fandom, I'm always reminded of a kind of 'provincial', amateurish element of the sport. In this case, it's Murray commentating via phone line. It's weird, because it's not as if we looked at F1 in the 1980's and thought of it as unglamorous, it's always had the air of glamour around it. But yeah, certain bits and pieces are very much about a sport still in nascence. For example, it's been quite a while since tyre warmers were introduced, but I have a distinct memory of a photo in one of my F1 magazines, can't remember which year exactly but mid-80's, of a car with a mass of hot towels on the tyres.

I'm not absolutely sure about what really happened here: either it was Mansell that f***ed it all up on his own, somehow, or the Mclaren mechanics didn't give him enough free space to approach his pit. Either way, pit stops in Estoril surely weren't on Nigel's list of favourite things, because two years later, also when leading the race, a wheel fell off right after his stop, which virtually ended his title hopes that year.

No pitlane speed limit back then, it was because he reversed in the pitlane.

That's the first F1 Car (Ferrari 640) which have semiautomatic gearbox.

Sad day for me. Mansell was in total control until this pit stop. He missed the pit stop position because the space that he had was to narrow and he avoid hitting the mechanics. Then he reverse to his position (and for that was black flagged). Mansell did not saw the black flag, so he continue and had an accident with Senna. Senna did not knew Mansell had a black flag either.

At the 8 second mark, Murray states 'Senna is not out', which confused me for years, having only watched the BBC Highlights aged 8 (can't remember if they showed it live in the UK). This comment made sense watching the live version years later, as a few laps previously Piquet and Caffi collided and I believe Murray thought the Dallara was a Mclaren in the low afternoon sun, before realising his mistake a few laps later🙂

Since it's not an automatic DQ, they sometimes took their chances. Piquet did the same in Monaco. It's up to the marshals to call it.. so I guess it's worth to try. What really stinks though is that he took out Ayrton in the process. And he claimed to be the true gentleman of racing. Right..

@PippinRally Yep, they can. Although the reverse gear is incredibly small, and a driver must be careful to keep the revs low or else he'll cause some serious damage. Supposedly drivers are discouraged from using the reverse gear and you'll see most of them do a burnout to spin around as it's quicker, anyway. This year at Monaco you saw a few cars reversing out of run-off areas during the practice sessions.

they changed tyres in short trousers

They didn't do refuelling those days, so it was considered there's no need for fire protection. Refuelling was re-introduced in 1994.

No helmet, T-shirts, shorts.

Mansell never did have much luck in the pits at Estoril.

I remember this one. Mansell black flagged for reversing into his pitbox.

Wait, I didn't know they could reverse!

Do you know a single thing about what you're talking about? today's races are with a single tank, there is no more refueling in F1.

Nigel wasn't too lucky with the pitstops at Estoril. At first this, in 1991 another failure.

There was no refuelling back then, it was not required a fire suits. Since 1994, only five years later, the pit crew is like today, with all the equipment for the safety.

pit crew still in t-shirts and shorts!! :D crazy times.

No, the mechanics pushing the car back into the correct position is the procedure for when a driver overshoots his pit box. The regulations say that you cannot use a reverse gear while in the pit lane, hence the black flag.

I've been watching too many fails, i read the title as back-flip pitstop

Nigel met la marche arrière tranquille ! No panic ! Ce mec est épatant !

If he had let the mechanics push him back he would've been fine. No wonder it took him until his final season really to win the world championship 🙃

I think he locked his wheels up and just didn't want to run into the pit team.

Technically he did, but it was still a Toro Rosso rather then an actual Minardi, plus to me too many changes took place between Toro Rosso and Minardi for them to be truly considered the same team IMO.

And thus, a Minardi led a lap.

You fucking did my day

@BlackBlueMen it doesn't matter. anyone who has been on track knows the rule that you follow the direction of the track. yeah it sucks people were in his way but that's racing

They didn't refuel at the time, so they didn't need fireproof clothing.

I couldn't believe that

That was 1989 - pit stop crew in shorts .....

Brand Prix has changed so much. Even the name

Re-fueling was banned... so.. it's stubby shorts and short sleeved shirts all round for the pit crews :)

I cant recall what year they banned shifting into reverse in the pit lane. These days you cannot back up in the pit lane, the team can push you back if you havent passed the pit exit line but otherwise no going backward. Watching Mansell do it there is now wonder it was outlawed, that sure looked like an accident ready to happen.

what ? how ? I never knew Mansell drove for Minardi

I didn't even know F1 cars had reverse gear. Maybe I was thinking about planes.

didnt button do the same thing but forwards?

well, that time they couldn't fuel the cars during pitstops, so they didn't have to wear those protective suites
