the video is not accurate.

Best lap time montecarlo 2011 : Vettel 01:13.556
Best lap time montecarlo 1986 : Senna 01:20.450

Thats because sennas lap is from training session.

Plus Monaco is easier now. Several turns don't have wall on their inside and you can take some borders (especially Sainte Devote and the whole pool section)
It didn't cost 7 seconds but still...

But in 1986 they had much faster chicane after the tunnel.

you would be better to compare qually times.

The 1986 cars carried a hell of a lot of fuel and did not often stop for tyres...not a valid comparison to 2011.

2005 vs 1986 would do it perhaps?

Nope they changed it in 1986. The video is mistaken, it is a 1985 lap.

You can see the real 1986 layout here (chicane @ 1:26) :
