Here we go everyone – you voted for one long video so here it is. Well, actually, the result of the vote was a resounding shrug, so let’s see how this does in terms of stats compared to three shorter ones.
It’s the start of the post-turbo era, it’s the biggest entry list in history, let’s goooooooo!

happy to see 1989 … 1984 was my favorite year watching F1 as litlle boy … but 1989 is close second ….. so many Teams and drivers ……..and very interesting Races ……. I like the Boutsen Wins very much
I just noticed that the champions helmet is the logo of the channel
The Ferrari 640 series… The greatest and most underrated series of cars to never win a Championship❤
You forgot some key NFL news. The Niners beat the Bengals in the Super Bowl, Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys, and fired everyone, including Tom Landry, literally the team’s ONLY head coach at that point.
Jesus there's something about the lower French entries that make for grim reading. In comparison, Guy Ligier's something of a bore compared to what (will) happen(ed) in the case of Larrousse and AGS. If they did a story of de Rouvre today they'd probably paint him as some brooding Bruce Wayne type. Whether they leave out the legal troubles is another matter.
1989 is one of my favourite seasons. I am looking forward to see the upcoming races!
Two things I would like to highlight:
Mansell using a red 5 was always a good separation between him an his teammates who also used primarly white helmets. Now with Boutsen wearing a black helmet it shouldn't be difficult for the pitcrew to separate the two drivers when going by.
I think it is a nice touch to also include the japanese letters for the japanese drivers.
As a fan of the underdogs, I'm really hoping for March, Benetton and Arrows to make big breakthroughs in 1989. It would be great to see Osella score a few points with their smart new car too. But above all I'm hoping that McLaren won't win another 15 races this season – give someone else a chance, Ron!
I absolutely love the first minutes of your videos giving context on what was going on in the world at the time. I was 10 or 11 at the time and – kind of – remember some of this going on but was too preoccupied at the time with He-Man, Thundercats and Gi-Joe to pay much attention to world events haha!
This context make your videos even more special and unique, not just a race or season review but much more. I wish and hope for your views and subscribers to go up and up. Excellent work!
10:10 *no Camel on the Williams. That would come in 1991, I know the image is from a game and not an actual pic of the car which kept showing ICI sponsorship during 89 and 1990 on the yellow parts. 🙂
Another superb video. This was the first year i properly started watching F1.
