These guys were just insane back then! These cars were 1300-1400 hp and not much down force and driving with one hand on the wheel over half the race.
Look at what they have to do in just one lap, imagine a whole race, what athletes...Incredible!!!!

That's why I posted this video because they are two totally different F1 cars. I think the cars these days are around 800-850 hp, tremendous down force and grip and both hands on the wheel at all times.
This is another good clip about that era Of F1. This pretty much sums up what I'm trying to convey between the cars of today and mid to late 80's cars. Listen to Hamilton's excitement about driving this car, awesome.
