What a talented young driver, hopefully he doesnt lose all will to live driving for a popular f1 team
Yo 🔥czcams.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/video.html
He will replace Lewis at merc.
@okakaino source is trust me bro
@@Chyeahokay next you'll tell us that hamilton's going to ferrari
@@JoseRodriguez-ey7ju From my sources he looks like he’s going for McLaren, hopefully him and that guy lando Norris can get some p13
This dude lost Bianchi, his father and Hubert in just 4 years of his career. He has been living some tragic years since he began racing.
And his championship hunt because of peak-Italianism (goddammit Ferrari)
All of Charles's hard work just for Ferrari to screw up everything for him
What hard work he bottled all of it. Blew out his engine in Spain and Baku pushing it too hard, bottled Imola bottled France Bottled Silverstone hard and royally bottled Hungary. It’s all his fault every bit of it.
@@declanthegreat6813 0 wheel knowledge, respectfully, GET OUT. (Then again this is probably troll so yeah)
@@declanthegreat6813 Ferrari makes the engine so its Ferraris fault. Imola and France is his fault. Silverstone and Hungry is Ferraris fault again for not putting him on softs and putting on hards. I will say though that Charles has to much faith in Ferrari strategy’s
@@declanthegreat6813 I think you need to stick to NASCAR
@@declanthegreat6813 obvious troll account. Do something productive with your life
Great piece of Leclerc's F2 season missed: As his father was dying Charles was in negotiation with (edit) Ferrari for his 2019 seat (edit) and decided to give his old man a parting gift by lying to him and saying that he'd already got the contract. Fortunately a deal was inked not long after but that's a hell of a thing.
(Also, his godfather Bianchi died in his major championship debut, then his dad died in his F2 campaign, then one of his closest friends Antoine Hubert died the same weekend he took his first F1 win. Dude has had an absolute emotional rollercoaster.)
Oh man... that's rough. 🥺
I'm glad it worked out with his lie, though. Imagine if his old man was looking down from the heavens and finds out his son didn't actually get the contract? 😳
Don’t forget. He also saw a horrific crash from Romain Grosjean who is a very good friend of Hubert, and for a moment, we thought that another tragedy will happen and will hit Leclerc hard once again. Thankfully the new safe tech let Grosjean get away with just burns on his wrists and hands.
Check his radio from that Grand Prix, you can clearly feel his distraught at that time.
what a man ! it is just sad that Ferrari screwed him so much...
He actually lied about signing with Ferrari for 2019 and later when he actually signed for them for 2019 he thought he didn't lie to him that day
Funny how he never talks about where we have Hamilton always pretending to be the victim of something or acts like he has it so hard
No way how insane his path was, nothing is as insane as the bullshit Ferrari puts him through
I feel the Charles is doing a comeback with b2b wins after the summer break
@@Guide4Ever Dunno, RB has clear straight line speed advantage. Spa, Zandvoort and Monza are the first races of the second half of the season...
@@Guide4Ever More Zandvort and Monza, He's at the back for Spa
@@Guide4Ever We hope so
yea the way he drove in Imola and France was soo fking good if not for Ferrari he would have won the race idk what ferrari were thinking when they gave a good strategy to Leclerc ......
Talk about Stoffel Vandoorne.
He aced everything accept F1.
His domination in GP2 2015 was unbelievable. He had nearly double points than the P2 driver
To be fair, he had Alonso as a teammate
@@F1_HQ To be fair Lewis Hamilton, Roman Grosjean and Esteban Ocon also had Alonso for a teammate (Lewis and Roman in their rookie seasons no less), and all three had careers afterwards.
@@calumbishop7082 when was grosjean with alonso
@@calumbishop7082 What the guy is trying to say is, the Mclaren that year was shit. Like really really REALLY shit. And Stoffel had no expirience to racing in F1 previously, so to jump in a car that bad, against a guy that has that much expirience, you will look bad, Alonso was driving his wheels of the car with Stoffel still learning, and when he was getting to grips with the car it was too late.
@@jackvanepps7301 2nd half of 2009
Charles is and will forever be my favorite driver. Seeing all his work to get to F1 for ferrari to ruin his chances at the WDC is absolutely heartbreaking
Max is my favorite driver. But I have no doubt Leclerc will win a wdc at some point beating Max, it would be such a heart break to every f1 fans if he doesn’t.
Yo 🔥czcams.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/video.html
Sorta gives me James Hunt vibes until Lauda's crash.
@windfall Charles is nowhere near consistant enough to beat max imo
11:35 fun fact: Charles actually won the Baku sprint race on track, but had a time penalty that dropped him to P2 after the flag dropped, so on track (not officially in the end but on track) at the very least he clean swept the entire weekend (Pole, FL in both races, feature race win and Sprint race win on track). Charles is also the youngest driver to win the F2 championship in any form it's had (F2, GP2, Formula 3000, or any other names that series has had), taking the title aged 19, a week and a half or so before his 20th birthday
This. Dude was absolutely unstoppable. The commentators did their best to try and sell Rowland as a title rival but it was more like Rowland was the only driver who was close enough to see the dust trail Leclerc had left before it settled. No hate on the guy, he drove a great season, but Prema and Leclerc was a deadly combination that year.
Yo 🔥czcams.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/video.html
only cause max skipped f2 and got a seat in f1 immediately
Pourchaire might beat that record this year of being the youngest champion
@@Thatinternetdude99 wtf does that have to do with this?
Charles, like Max, is a generational talent. Russell could be up there too. It would have been interesting to see who would have won had these 3 ever raced in equal cars.
Russell is just a prima Donna, well a seconda Donna as long as Lewis remains in the other car
Depends, back then I'm not sure, but nowadays it simply has to be Max just due to experience
@@piermariobarozzi
Remind me who is ahead in the WDC right now between Hamilton and Russell?
Remind me which has a pole position this season?
Ohh, that's right. It's Russell.
He also hasn't binned his car multiple times by himself, unlike Charles.
George Russell MP needs to be tested at the front on a regular basis. Now Lewis isn't doing the experimental set ups, Lewis is quicker
@@xenteko7249 the only reason Russell got pole was because Hamilton had a drs issue lol Hamilton out-qualified him in every session that day
And what’d that pole achieve ? Lewis still finished higher starting 8th
And remind me who has more podiums ? Who has more p2’s ?
I know everyone hates DTS but that episode about Charles in season 1 will always be my favorite. A promising, talented young driver with lots of to proof and unfinished business to finish.
Seeing him being Ferrari’d so bad now really makes me sad. I was hoping for Charles to challenge the defending WDC Max, and put up some good fights. Yet all I can see is s🅱️inotto keep making phone calls instead of supporting him.
We also got to see Gasly's trash bath and Ericsson's bathtub scene on that episode. It's automatically the best DTS episode.
Everyone who is a fan before DTS. Careful with those echo chambers.
Season 1 and 2 were the good seasons but then the next 2 were terrible
I have so much admiration for Charles. I first saw him race when he came to GP3 in 2016. I really enjoyed the title fight between him and Alexander. Then watching him in Formula 2; that sprint race in Bahrain in particular... that was the moment I knew he was something special. And he's been through so much tragedy... Jules, his father, Anthoine... and yet he still stays strong. And he's got a very good attitude on and off the track. It makes it even more annoying for me that Ferrari are so poor... he deserves to be world champion, and hopefully someday he will be. He'll always have my support.
Yo 🔥czcams.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/video.html
from the day he won in monza, he instantly became a ferrari legend
even if he never wins a title, the tifosi will always love him
The simple fact he still raced in Baku the week his father passed away, and had an absolute blinder, speaks to his determination and drive. Charles is my #2 for a reason, he's an absolute animal, and is easily in the Top 3 of F1's current crop. He needs to win a championship with Ferrari, although the team won't help him with that. But yeah, dude is unreal, and such a great bloke at the same time.
Did anyone noticed, that Charles was racing with #17 in his first season in 2014? The same number Jules had in F1 that year...
They should have allowed Charles to use number 17 as his permanent number
#17 was retired from F1 for obvious reasons, so is it coincidental that CL races under the #16?
@@RMA_432_ he initially wanted to race under 7 but kimi had it, then 10 but pierre had it, so he chose 16 because it's his birthday and 1+6=7 and also prob becuase it's just one less than 17
To me, Charles first F1 victory will always be Monza
Despite him winning in Belgium, that win was for Hubert, but I’ll always tell myself that with Croftys commentary around the Parabolica, his titan defence against Hamilton, Charles winning at Monza is up there with one of my favourite moments in F1 history
I still remember seeing that Bahrain sprint race live on TV... My first F2 race. That left a high bar. Still gives me goosebumps every time I see the highlights. During covid I picked F2 and F3 back up again and don't regret a thing.
A
He's just meant for this racing world. I feel like he is the one who will bring the title back for Ferrari at some point. His entire life is just built around this. From being a kid who waited outside the Ferrari headquarters imagining all the wonders that goes on inside to actually being the star of Ferrari. He is what Ferrari needs. Granted that Ferrari absolutely screwed him this year, I don't think this is his end. He has been through absolute hell in his life mentally. Losing his father, godfather. Yet he continued. If it's ever gonna happen for Ferrari, Charles Leclerc will be the one to get them on top. I know I sound like a fanboy but after Vettel and Kimi this is the guy who made me fall in love with f1 even more. It's his destiny to win the world championship at some point. And when he does, I'm sure we will all just cry our heart out.
He'll go down as one of the best one lap drivers if not the best , unbelievable pace .
that overexaggerating it, he only has 5 wins and isnt consistant enough. He is a great driver but to say hell go down as one of the best is a little too far
@@thijsvisser5514 mate I said "one lap drivers " meaning qualifying
@@user-tr1hx7jx4r oh shit missed that my bad
@@thijsvisser5514 it's funny you say isn't consistent enough. out of the 1st half of this season, he's only made what, 2 mistakes? everything else that has gone wrong were either strategy or reliability issues. i don't think that comes off as inconsistent.
@@mondaytosaturday1013 so bassicly he makes big mistakes in around 20% of the races. That is the definition of unconsistant
Charles is a great driver who has had much success in his junior career, couple that with the tragedy he has had makes him deserving of a title. Unfortunately, Ferrari
What was insane as well was him winnning his 1st ever F1 race just 1 day after one of his best friends has past us way too early.
I haven't watched a lot of GP2/F2 races but.. i saw Hamilton in 2006 and Leclercs race in 2018.. The similarities are striking in those two races, just absolutely fierce comeback, albeit Charles was a planned tactic but still.. It was clear to me that he is a massive talent.
Here after Charles's Monaco win and looking for a video to explain to the missus why I was cutting onions after that result.
If only he's just as loved and supported in the team instead of being used as a scapegoat for mistakes
with all the italian disappointment and f1 expectations we often forget just how good these drivers are these videos remind us why we pay the big bucks for these drivers .... thank you
What a weird choice of phrasing on that title
"Charles Leclerc's INSANE path to F1" is much more sensible, and still retains the shock effect
I'm a manus
I still remember all the coments on Ferrari's annoucement for him in 2018, proved so many people wrong
How has he proven people wrong? People said he wasn’t ready and the endless mistakes that come from him have proven them right. Carlos destroyed him in his first season in that car when are people going to face facts
@@declanthegreat6813 People thought it wasn't right for him to replace Kimi, which he has since proven to be correct. As for Sainz, Leclerc has outpaced him all year long
@@declanthegreat6813 A handful of points due to less luck, reliability-wise isn't really what "destroyed" means. But keep on hating, it's a great look.
@@declanthegreat6813 I'm sorry what? Charles came into Ferrari, absolutely destroyed Seb in the second year (keep in mind, his third year in F1 against a 4 time world champion), last year Sainz only won because he finished more races but Charles was quicker in 75% of races.
@@declanthegreat6813 Charles came at the right time to destroy Vettel's career and Sainz, too.
He is definitely World Champion material.
Charles don't give up, you will get there.
I was there during 2015 Macau GP, and Charles was simply a star. He was getting faster and faster during he race. I thought he could be a superstar since then.
Driver profile videos you do are the best! They really give insight into drivers' junior careers.
I have to say this has been a rollercoaster junior career for Charles.
JOSH! You're making more videos again and it's genuinely a feeling of home and comfort. Glad you're at it again. Another banger
Josh oh Josh, your videos keep getting better and better man… Love the subtle humor and background music!! Keep it up man this is amazing!
Just sayin Josh, I LOVE driver profile vids because you make them interesting. You keep on making them to your heart's desire.
Yesss dmd you on twitter ages ago for this. So excited!
VAR wasn't much of a team back in Euro F3. It was really a Prema show with Mucke being a solid 2nd. Max and Charles really drove the wheels of that car.
Side note: Rosenqvist is a good driver and deserves better than Arrow McLaren SP in Indycar. Zak Brown seems pretty keen on shoving him down to Formula E. I hope he moves to another Indycar team.
I think he'll be staying with Arrow-McLaren.
Rene Rast is rumoured to race in Formula E with McLaren, and only 2 of the 3 IndyCar seats are confirmed, Pato O'ward and Alexander Rossi. Rinus Veekay was rumoured to take the third seat, but he signed a contract with Ed Carpenter. Alex Palou has a deal with the F1 team (most likely as Test/Reserve driver), and one of the reasons he left Chip Gannassi was because he wanted to move back to Europe. It's very unlikely that he'll race in IndyCar. Unless Danny Ric joins IndyCar (and that's also very unlikely), I don't see anyone else who'll get the third Arrow-McLaren seat other than Rosenqvist.
Love the music in this episode, well done!
You're a good storyteller dude. Narration really put the visuals together quite nicely. It was a treat to wath, and lots to learn.
Great video and top notch editing Josh! Love the new profile pic too :)
8 out of 11 poles is just mind blowing
he'll go down as one of the best one lap drivers imo up there w Senna 😅
Just wait until you see he'll hunt for the most poles record that's still held by Sir Lewis Hamilton.
And from what I've seen, both drivers are really similar, except for their tragic moments it seems.
I hope this man had an amazing stress free holiday, he needed it more than anyone else.
Amazing work as usual Josh
Don't think I didn't notice that facial animation, well done on another great video
Great video! Would love to see one about George Russel as well
Leclerc winning a title would be such a feel good moment
Josh you've done it again great video
Great concept, would love to see a video like this with George Russel
What about Ocon’s insane journey
Ocon's F3 and DTM days were really crazy, and even brought that trash Manor into P11 at Interlagos.
Love your vids
You keep saying no more driver profiles, but the way you present them always makes them fun my guy.
About Jules Bianchi, you must see his performances in Asian GP2 Abu Dhabi 2010 and 2011 British GP GP2. Both are in a YT chanel called "feederseriesfan"
Great video! As a life long Ferrari fan, *except for the Schumacher era and Kimis first year this feels like a love hate kind of thing.
I fully believe that Ferrari intentionally shoot them selves in the foot.
Kind of like how Red Bull would forget to bolt on Webers tires when fighting Seb🤣
Good vid chief
I was not ready for your avatar to actually start speaking with the animation, freaked me out!
This year is just a inchident on track for him 👍🏻
Srly i really hope Ferrari get their shit together for him.
I really like him 🙂

Driver profile videos are the best
Hey josh! would you consider making videos on Aussie and kiwi Endurance drivers and slowly start endurance racing content too? examples like Matt Campbell, SVG, Chaz mostert, Earl Bamber etc
Drivers like Kevin Estre, Rafaelle Marciello, Joules Gounon etc deserve some exposure
Just for a moment, when Josh laughed after saying "PAU", I really thought he knew this means DICK in portuguese and this circuit is a joke for all lusophones.
I love that you mention Kimi Antonelli. I really think that he’ll be a great future prospect for Mercedes!
As much as I want him to win the drivers championship with Ferrari I can see Charles Leclerc winning it with Mercedes. There is no doubt Mercedes are eyeing him as a replacement for Lewis Hamilton when he retires especially with the large number of fans he has which can bring huge commercial value for them.
Oddly enough, I can see Charles leaving Ferrari. It just really depends who he wants to go to. He needs a Hamilton-esque move to Mercedes or the like.
@windfall Russell vs Leclerc? Now that's a powder-keg...
one of the top 3 drivers on the grid right now and as a max fan I'm actually sad that he cant compete on equal terms.
I am a Charles Leclerc myself (and a teenboy named Charles as well) I am proud of him that he has reached success.
beautiful documentary
I raved against Antonelli back in 2020 at the skusa winter series at homestead. In the pre final he had a mechanical problem so he was starting dead last. He drove like a bat outta hell in the final to first place and then took the field to gapplebees. He is one of the best drivers I've ever seen in my life and there is no doubt in my mind that he won't make it to f1
That sprintrace in F2, made me a Leclerc-fan. I watched that race live then and thought the tire chance was odd but to watch him catch more and more drivers, thinking he might get on the podium, not even dreaming about winning... That was one of the best drives I ever saw. Later, when it was repeated I made sure to record it and show it to several people as "a future world champion". I still believe he will be just that in the near future.
I watch him closely since he joined F1 because I like him as a driver and as a person. Just as I like Max V. . May they have a great fight for many seasons, because then, this will be epic as Senna/Prost or Hakkinen/Schumacher.
You really need to do that Jules Bianchi video you said you would in this video.
That guy was looking to be the next biggest thing in F1. (He was doing things in a *Marussia* that he should have been able to do... Like out-qualify the person he was likely to replace at Ferrari!)
3:40 “The greatest driver…”
Me: SEAN GELAEL
3:44
Me: oh
I really love these driver profiles
This content creator is the best among those discussing open wheel racing. He's smart, funny, highly knowledgeable, and his research is second to none. He has to be a Kiwi, because those blokes across the pond in the land of the long white cloud do many things better than us Aussies. There, I said it.
Being a Leclerc fan since like…2016 or so I knew most of this. But the video was still really great.
the type of escapism charles gets from racing has got to be massive. its been there for him through thick and thin. I wish him many more ragged laps
Hey Josh could we please see a formula E final breakdown like you did with DTM?
You should definitely make a video on Antonelli, obviously there’s not much to make one off but maybe by the end of the year you’ll have enough information:)
As a Dutchie i gotta say it's impressive how you managed to nail your pronunciation of Nik D'fleas
Do a video on albon's karting career and the great expectations everyone had on him...
Ferrari and Binotto better get their act together with their strategy. Wasting this young man's talent on a team banking on their nostalgia.
Him & Max a good gen of drivers,hope Russel gets rid of the primadonna attitude(the merc move changed the guy a lot) & Albon doing something with his talent and we might have a good few years in F1.
12:56 even in the text it says king latifi 😂
My man out here doing his best to reignite my hype for Charles in the face of Ferrari's best efforts to kill it.
Hey Josh how are you going with that video on Jules Biannci? Looking forward to it
6:55 only missing out on the teams title once?
Who to Josh?
I for one would love to hear THAT story 😁
'And heading into the last round of the championship at Jerez...' Please tell me that was consciously phrased!
nice 👍
Lmao. The last clip with the scream is sooo funny.
12:52 I love who ended on 5th place
sure a great prospect. not ready to win a championship quite yet but he will definitely in the future.
Charles is a fabulous driver but his F2 year had a weak lineup. I'm still amazed how many the pilot from Russel championship accomplished great thing.
Would love a video about Jules❤️
If only Charles wasn't with a lower midfield team, with a budget that helps it to pretend it is one of the championship contenders.
Pls more driver profile videos
Can we have a video speculating Sargent for the Williams seat.
Could you PLEASE do Checo, his journey to F1 was so special
Love it that you're still referencing King Mahaveer at this point. Haha! 👑 😅
"From 14th to 1st in 8 laps"
Max watching this - cool, gonna try this
I cannot wait to watch the video about Jules Bianchi
11:13 the monaco curse reaction by Josh : God damn you motor racing GODS?!?!?!?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
U can do a pretty dope stewie impression
"It's gonna be another one of those videos again isn't it"
Le C. 100% awesome & deserves his F1 spot.
I can't go back & find the video, but I dare you- name 1current F 1 driver that can run "only left turns" as well as Power or Dixon.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Daniel and Oscar
