Formula 1 cars flying? Welcome to 1967, Germany. Yes, 51 years have passed since then and the contrast with the current Formula 1 couldn't be more stark.
What's notable about this video is what doesn't show up. The “green hell” looks more like a secondary road: no curbs or curves. The visual drama of current F1 cars could not contrast more with those of 1967, with no aerodynamic support whatsoever — it would only be the following year that the aerodynamic appendages would come to the discipline, through Lotus.
The result is in sight and the film highlights it immensely: the cars, in a particular area of the track, simply lost contact with the ground. A valuable and delicious piece of Formula 1 history, without a doubt, a must-see!
