“Ah, the good old days of Formula 1. When the drivers had personalities, the teams didn’t require the GNP of several Third World nations to compete, and Murray Walker was still commentating for the BBC.

In that spirit, enjoy this in-car footage of Patrick Depailler’s hot practice lap around the 1979 United States Grand Prix West circuit at Long Beach, narrated by the one and only Murray Walker.”
