The McLaren Peugeot disaster!

The sound effects over the shots of the Pug V10 self-immolating are hilarious!

To quote the awesome David Hobbs "How do you say Kablammo in French"? The most enduring memory of the 94 Peugeot memory is it blowing up

Just after 3:45 interesting to see the Circuit of Catalunya's layout in 1994, after Senna's death. Many of the circuits had "restrictor" chicanes like this for that year.

Bear in mind that this engine was almost the same as the one in the Pug 905 that won the World Sportscar Championship. Prost was not impressed when he tested the car and even told Senna so!

They got 8 podiums! More than Toyota ever got in F1!

This car is very beautiful.

mclaren definitely would have won races in 95-97 with Peugeot but never a title

This is not an engine , this is a rocket. Very good sounds effects in this video.

McLaren were highly competitive by the end of 93 but really dropped off in 94. The Peugeot was weak. Unreliable & lacked power. McLaren should have really gone with Lamborghini with hindsight. Peugeot seemed to lack commitment & expertise

At first I thought it was about the story of the Batmobile in the 60s, but then I realized that the stove behind the car was bigger... and Bruce Wayne would never have consented to such a thing.

Very good video. Jean Pierre Boudy designed Peugeot V10. Boudy had worked in Renault F1 but in mid 80s , left Renault to work for Peugeot. Boudy was responsible for the engines , in Peugeot rally and Dakar program and Peugeot V10 engine in 905. Peugeot engines , in Jordan cars , were more competitive and more reliable. Especially in 1997 , Peugeot engines was very powerful and Jordan cars had good positions in high speed circuits The problem with Peugeot , in 1994 was time. Peugeot signed with mclaren , in order to enter in Formula 1, in October 1993. The engine run in dyno , in December of 1993 and in February 1994 , only one mouth before the first race , the engine run first kilometres in Mclaren car. It was too late , no time for testing, improvements and changes in the engines design , in order to be more competitive and more reliable. After the first two races , with A4 version 690 hp , Peugeot used A6 version with 750 hp. In Formula 1 , 60 hp more power, is a big step between two engines versions , especially when you have not got time for tests and changes in engines design. With the A6 version , started many engine failures. After Hungary GP , A6 version become reliable Other manufacturers start F1 engine programm , one two years , before enter in formula 1 and they have reliability problems.

Great video, thanks.

Oh, I remember this season well.. but not for Peugeot unfortunately.

It would have been awesome to have a McLaren - Lamborghini 😍

With hindsight the Lambo V12 would have been a better bet. But can see Ron Dennis reasoning with partnering with Peugeot. Giving Mclaren works team status for first time since 92. But peugeot underestimated what was needed to be competitive in F1 and boy did it show.

Gotta love the generic us commentator comment about andrea decesaris. I mean he probably did have some fans but none were in the paddock.

Its interesting to note between 1992-1995, McLaren had a different engine supplier for each season, Honda in 1992, Ford 1993, Peugeot 1994 and Mercedes 1995, of course Mercedes was the manufacturer McLaren stayed with for the long term until 2014.

Leuk gedaan kerel. Top !

:hand-pink-waving: Senna / Forghieri were correct and again Ron Dennis did not listen and thought he knew better! Oh and Lutz the putz did not help... Lutz wasn't able to mentally grasp development side pertaining to engines and especially that of the Lamborghini engine! Dennis, Chrysler/Lutz missed huge opportunity! My opinion!

Mika Häkkinen was 4th in the championship! With a McLaren-Peugeot! No word about that? Why?
