Before GoPros, THIS is how F1 onboard footage looked in the 70s... Insane! Step into the cockpit of a Formula 1 car like never before — raw, unfiltered, and dangerously real. Long before the age of GoPros, drones, and digital stabilization, onboard footage was captured with massive, shaky cameras strapped directly onto the cars. In this video, you’ll witness the pure, unedited experience of 1970s F1 — where drivers pushed their machines to the limit with no traction control, no carbon fiber safety, and no second chances. Watch Patrick Depailler wrestle his car through the torrential rain of Montreal, showcasing raw talent and fearless precision on a soaked track with zero visibility. Feel the brutality of turbo power as Jean-Pierre Jabouille introduces Renault’s revolutionary engine at the spectacular old Buenos Aires circuit, where speed met chaos in every corner. This isn’t just a look back — it’s a portal into the true spirit of motorsport, when danger wasn’t a variable, it was the constant.
