BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Why the stupid music?
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
Absoluty gold footage.
The Monte Carlo circuit is still one of the most demanding and dangerous formula one circuits with its narrow streets, windy tunnel and tight corners around the city. The famous Monaco harbour has also played its role with a couple of drivers having crashed into the sea - the most famous being Alberto Ascari. Watch the newsreel about his death here: http://www.britishpathe.com/video/death-of-ascari/query/alberto+ascari

People just walking by, thinking, he’s gonna get a ticket!
@londontaxifilms7313Fantastic doc!
What a pity there's no footage of mirabo an old station arpin!
shouldve sent Formula2 around to clean the dust off the track.
@godsinboxOne of Fernando Alonso’s best races
@wolfgangvan-uber6515And not one person on their mobile phone just everyone present enjoying the moment.
@CC-wk6znJames g
@JamesLaumandThe road almost looks the same. Wow
@jaemini_9055Almost a century later, this anachronism is still on the calendar
@AlonsoRulesNo iconic Swimming Pool back then.
@matthewcoupeofficialAbsolutely beautiful, thank you for posting. I must say, it is things like this that sit in my head when they talk about taking it off the calendar. Some things are so unique that they simply can't be replaced. Thank you for this lovely reminder :)
@BakaBroadcastNice footage cool song
@alandesouzacruz5124I wonder what the handle was at the casinos?
@floorticketIf someone hit a pole or a tree, his head and lungs would be torn off.
@kuzmawichrowski9361No halo, very unsafe
@XtraLivesWhere the hell is Logan Sargeant? 🦅
@davidandresrojas8733St. Devote, beau rivage, the tunnel, the old chicane, tabac all still recognisable.
@Eamon_Ahernwhy does it look wider
@reddanimatez_69The worst change to Monaco was getting rid of the hairpin. The double apex monstrosity we have now even removes a much needed overtaking opportunity.
@leemugleston6422Racing on razor blades?? That's skill right there.
@yabbadabbadoo8225I did a school history project for my leaving exams on the life of William Grover Williams back in 2011 fascinating life he led may he R.I.P
@cathalkeane964The Monaco Grand Prix it was since 93 years ago and first time F1 race is since 72 years ago.
@mr.applejack9025Even in the old times Monaco was hard to overtake.
@johnrupesh4535There is a statue of Grover Williams in Monaco, but ironically it is removed during racing as it's in the middle of St. Devote.
@RJSRdgWould've loved to see the pier packed full, to bad we didn't have e boats back then. HA
@TROYJDONAHUEBack in the days when they had Grid Girls. 💔
@maxmulsanne7054It was a great track then. Now it's a glorified parade
@paulscott6605hopefully we haven't had the last ever Monaco GP in 2022 😢
@formularguments73350:08 its lights out and here we go!
@あむ-mActually crazy how little the track has changed
@thecarswedeMonaco itself looks way nicer back then. But the circuit looks scary in this video, like very dangerous.
@MrXtremieDeath was literally around every turn crazy man
@imjusstchillin5776It's incredible as a new F1 fan that I can actually recognize this track. It looks very similar to how it looks now, just without all the safety equipment. Awesome footage.
