- Just how bad was Nikita Mazepin as a rookie during the 2021 F1 season?
Taking a comedic look at each race to figure out if he really was as bad as it first seemed and if there's any hope at all for the future.
EDIT: I do know Mexico city is not in the USA, I've just forgotten to change the little slide transition beforehand if anyone was confused by that

For anyone wondering, I forgot to change the transition before Mexico. Dw I am well aware that Mexico City is not in the US 😅
Also, the flag was the russian one flipped the wrong way, cos the joke was the car facing the wrong way and the livery basically just being the russian flag

I think you're being grossly unfair to Mazespin, after all he finished the year with 7 points! OK, they were penalty points, true, but isn't that a record? Negative 7 points?
It's not a record. It's not even the record for a Russian driver. Kvyatt managed to get 8 in 2016. When it comes to the outright record, the holder is Max Verstappen with 28, because of course it was going to be Max.
@@fix0the0spade I'm sorry, I'm not very intuitive. Negative 28 points? What year?
@@jimwolaver9375 That's all his penalty points added, IIRC all in all he even got 30.
Highest penalty points by season is actually Sebastian Vettel with 9 penalty points in 2019.
Surely -7 championship points must be a rookie record for Russia
@@chrismdb5686 and a record for guys named "Nikita" too! what a strike of antirecords mate!
I loved how Netflix tried to portray Mazepin's Russian GP as a victory because Mick DNF'd and they called it "beating his teammate and a home victory".
And they acted like him getting on wet tires early was some stroke of genius
Well, he did finish the race. That’s a massive victory for Niki
Also they showed him overtaking a lot of other drivers … not sure who he overtook when he finished last.
@@jamesrider4597he was just unlappinghim self thats all

He also had a bad car
@@noah6784 yeah but that's an indicator if u are one of the greats or not, the greats make due with a bad car and pull crazy upsets, the mazepins? not so much
The fact he even found an F1 seat with his F2 performances shows how rather remarkable a lot of funding and a dedicated family is.
If mick was great why he had 0 points aswell. They had the worst car in f1 history

I love how qualifying P18 and finishing in P20 is considered an ok weekend.
I'm surprised you didn't mention that mick in turkey got the haas into Q2 on its own power with a time of 1.25.555 compared to nikita who finished with a whopping 1.28.449. 3 seconds of your teammates pace.
EDIT: Kimi qualified P19 with a 1.27.525, nikita was a second of P19. The race wasn't all that diff nikita finished p20 and mick finished p19.
We got to see just how bad he really was when we got K. Mag back in 2022. Mick Schumacher looked great compared to Mazepin, and then KMag comes back and we get to see that Mick Schumacher is still young and inexperienced, far off the pace of KMag. When you put that in perspective with Mazepin 2021 season, that just shows HOW BAD HE WAS. Mazepin did not deserve a seat in an F1 car.
There's 25 million reasons he belonged in that car.
@@LongWatchman and all turned to a big opps
@III_RIP_UR_KD_III mick had the same car and kicked his ass sideways
@III_RIP_UR_KD_III mick had the same car and he was still coming in a minute behind him. So what was your point?
@III_RIP_UR_KD_III not sure what you were watching…but compared to the Russian…Mick looked like a young F1 driver. While Mazepin Looked like what he is…a talentless pay driver.
21st of the 20 drivers on the grid. It's pretty impressive.
T1 at CotA everyone was cheering or him when he went by. It was kind of hilarious.
I remember people were cheering him from their balconies in Baku when he spun there too lmao
we cheered in turn 11 too
Robert Kubica: I'm about to make this man look like a bozo🤣
Latifi😂😂
Yeah man I was in turn one, I remember everyone around me, and myself included, cheering and clapping as loud as we could when he came by.
It’s not easy making Mick Schumacher look good but Mazepin managed to do it.
Mazespin's Monaco race was actually a bit worse than you portrayed. The overtake on MSC was team orders, and, based on his pace while his engine was working, Mick would have lapped him despite neither being stuck behind Kimi
MICK COSTED THE TEAM MILLIONS. MAZEPIN SPUN BC HE OVERDROVE THE WORST CAR IN F1 HISTORY BUT MICK COSTED THE TEAM OVER 5 MILLION IN DAMAGE
absolutely hilarious barrage of awesomeness, my brain is still catching up with all the jokes
great job, more people need to see this!
Haha same here, this channel deserves a lot more subscribers.
The land of the thee bags, traffic jams and dinosaurs really caught me off guard haha
Been laughing my ass off quite some in this video :)
Wow, low standards.
Editing.
so glad that he’s finally out. I mean, when a 15 minute video about ONE season shows so many fuckups of a single driver, it sure says something about how (un)deserving he was of that seat.
effin great video btw mate, the banter was more than spot on
And Haas used his daddy’s oligarch money to develop a much better car with the guy who’s seat he took
nah he just fished hard to event get it to 15 min lol
@@ViperLemondemon nah just bad
There was one benefit to Massaspins presence, Mick could afford to crash cars!
mick schumacher is even worse LOOOL
Schumacher was practically lapping him in the same car without having almost any experience in F1. There is absolutely no doubt he was a sub pair driver. We can move on now.
Let's not forget about Yuji Ide with Super Aguri in 2006, man had his license remove by FIA because of constantly impeding others on the track >.<
Could've given Mazespin the same treatment tbh.
Mazespin was Putin sponsored driver. Pretty strong FSB threat. 😬

@@On_Track_91 L
Until Mazepin drove in F1, Alex Yoong & Yuji Ide were the worst drivers to have raced during the 21st century. Nikita, unlike Yoong & Ide, benefited from lots of testing with Force India & Mercedes and an uninterrupted junior career in Europe. Ide & Yoong lacked testing time, plus spent a lot of their junior days in Asia. Plus Mazepin got involved in far more incidents on and off tracks. Considering Mazepin finished runner-up in GP3 & 5th in F2, Nikita has to be the worst F1 driver of 21st century. Considering Mick is now struggling against K Mag, I estimated he was up to 2 secs slower than the ultimate pace (if you put Max/Lewis/Charles in 2021 Haas)
Yeah that 2 second estimate is probs fairly on point
And Mazepin had like 18 more races than Ide, and that's saying something :P
@@fabriciolamana4106 Well that's because Ide had his superlicense revoked which kind of puts him in a class of his own to be honest. Also in response to the first guy Yoong and Ide likely would've had more testing time in their current cars as mid-season testing was a thing back then being banned in 2010 and testing mileage was restricted in 2007 which was after both Yoong and Ide had left, early 2000's testing was just different

Tarso Marques wasn't too good either.
Just love how the video is structured, all those little cuts during a video & the ending is the best😭😂😂😂😂

The line about Lance stroll killed me.. "eager to remind us who the og Canadian paid driver is"
Great video! I was hoping for maybe some comparisons between other f1 rookie seasons that didn’t turn out too well. I think that would be great!
dont know how I found this channel but sure going to follow it. great voiceover with just the sarcastic humor i like
This was AWESOME and took a lot of work....Subbed of course.
God how I like British humor :)

Just watched this video, hope your channel takes off man great work!
He even kicked me out in the f1 2021 game without any reason. At the beginning of the race He just steered (in a straight) to side, hit me and send me to the wall and i got DNF.
🤣🤣🤣
yep, F1 2021 is a very realistic simulator :)
6:37 I was at vail to watch that overtake live. The most shocking thing I’ve seen in my life. Mazepin with a clean overtake 😱
I could say the war saved Gunther from losing his hair because of mazepin causing Gunther to contact kmag again
Mazepin: So racist even K-on! Fans hate him.
…Sorry I had to.
@@fancydan1262 what?
Your summer break promotion was amazing. I was going to subscribe but that made me rush to smash that button

No in the Russian grand prix he had an amazing race, sensing the weather changing and pitting at the perfect time to finish ahead of Latifi and Schumacher. Mega drive!!! /s
Drive to survive be like
Both MSC (oil leak) and LAT (accident damage) retired. LAT finishes 90% of the race hence he was classified as finisher. So there goes your arugment down the drain.
DTS made a shit-show with MAZ's overtakes when he was literally unlapping himself and ended +2 laps. WTF

He definitely improved as the season continued, but he just was too bad to begin with. And the dangerous driving didn't help
The car was really bad... It seems that people don't know that...
@@-TheUnkownUser they know that… but it only applies to msc i guess
@@danielius1306 Why? That’s just straight stupid to think (no offense).
You can’t use a double standard for two pilots with the same car, a car with the same problem that Ferrari had in 2020. That car was f lame on the balance of the rear part. Imagine having a design with few changes just to fit in the rules of the new season and with no changes while the season is running.
The 2021 Haas was hard to drive. Not trying to defend Mazepin, but I think that try to be conclusive on the circumstances he had to struggle is unfair.

First F1 channel I've found that's genuinely funny! Well played!! 😂
Thanks, if you enjoyed that, would reccomend the honet review vids that come out after each race. Basically similar format but for each race weekend
I just gotta say, first video of your's I've watched and I'm crying from laughter and we're not even 2 minutes in. Good lord, great video
Gotta add on, the I've never heard of Mazespin before and holy shit the team boss giving him a spinning top is straight gold
Haven’t watched DTS but he seemed like he was quite childish when he struggled in the beginning but got his head down and tried to improve and get along with his team as the season progressed. Regardless, he won’t be missed.
great job! I'm looking forward to seeing Latifi in next year's video lol
Honestly I'm writing scripts atm, and I don't wanna be mean, but he's been so bad this year the jokes basically write themselves
I haven't watched F1 for years but my man's sense of humor is something else, great video
Outstanding video!!! =)
The video was incredibly well done, the thumbnail could be improved in order to get more views but it’s good content
Edit: Your thumbnails overall look very cluttered, but your channel is actually great. I hope you eventually get the views you deserve, maybe get some inspiration from more simple thumbnails such as Perspective’s or Aldas’? I think that draws in more attention. I’m a content creator myself so I’d feel bad if I didn’t try sharing what I’ve learned with other creators that have potential. Anyways, best of luck to your channel!
Thanks for the feedback, yeah i'll be honest I struggle to do thumbnails that are real simple. I'm just too OCD to not include information on them, if that makes sense. And sort of the fact that the OCD in me really want them all to be very similar and sort of 'obvious' it's this channel
That overtake at Monaco joke is even funnier after Lewis couldn’t get one on Alonso
the best but also true and funny video i ever seen, credit for the great humor an research
an absolute banger video...I started watching f1 during imola last year and didn't really understand why the hatred was directed towards him...safe to say, I realised it in fp1 itself
And after watching this I was shocked that this guy still had the confidence to get back into an F1 seat
If u had knowledge he had the worst car in f1 history hence why he overdrove his car bc it was so slow and he went over the limit alot
The guy was really not fit for F1. Pretty bad mistakes even for a rookie some of these. But that's not the main point. The main point just how consistent he was at these mistakes and how he was a threat to the other drivers (like his own teammate with that stupid block attempt).
He was never a threat no matter how much the armchair warrior wanted to tell you. Mazepin was just another slow ass driver, nothing more nothing less. Both Schumacher and Latifi were involved in more crashes, indicendts and even WDC deciding events than Mazepin. In 2022 we still have Zhou and Latifi, we had Rio Haryanto, Chandok, Sakon Yamamoto and people like Di Grassi.
Plus no matter how hard people wanna believe because he isnt the best driver, he would beat all of us on a track.
@@Ethanoljunkie I don't think that it is fair comparing ourselves to a former F1 driver. Obviously he would best all of us, because we are not professional drivers. I would best him in Rocket League. Now what? 😂 We have to compare him to other F1 drivers.
great video man
Great video 👍
And one more distinction on Mazespin's horrible reputation. He's the only rookie nay, the only driver, to have had an incident that annoyed and/or pissed off every driver on the grid before the season even ended. I wont describe them all but look it up as there are videos of it
I try not to focus super heavily into the negative side of things when it comes to F1 drivers, especially rookies, simply because it's not productive for me and drivers improving can only mean good things for the sport. That being said, I will say that I laughed my ass off at the incident in Bahrain when it occurred. Also, the incident at 1:50 ; if this were NASCAR, he'd probably be getting praise for this one (well, apart from the drivers.) That was a very smooth dump and run right there. Maybe he really is a better driver than anyone gives him credit for, he's just in the wrong sport.
I'm not an F1 fan, I don't even know why your video was recommended or why I clicked on it, but your narration made me laugh a lot.
Outstanding job making Latifi look good! (btw, I am Canadian)
You know… at least Stroll actually got some racing talent.. I just don’t personally think his talent alone would reach the level of F1, but probably enough to become be a professional racer
Well it’s safe to assume that F1 is better off without a driver like Nikita Mazepin.
While I understand some people have gotten soft around him as of late, I personally don’t think he’s an F1 worthy kind of race driver.
Seeing what magnussen is done in just two races this year, it's even clearer
@@On_Track_91 Definitely.

Has become a staple of the channel
I love the fact that mazapin best weekend was in Monaco lol
Great content keep it up happy to be a subscriber
Glad to hear it
This was amazing commentary. Anyone who thought this was unfair was not watching. He was dreadful.
Last year I thought Mick had a lot of talent.
This year I see Mick vs Magnussen.
Now I think Mezepin is much, much worse
reminding you of this comment after austria
Mick absolutely outperformed mag in the last months
when you think about it Yuji Ide got kicked out very quickly while Nikita was supposed to race this season and he's as or even more dangerous than Ide
just found this video. Great content.I watched the entire 2021 season, but didn't focus on Mazapin, it's almost comical just how bad he was.
„…we got a chance to see his washing machine impression“, you killed me within the first minute 😂
Mazipan: dad when are buying another team so I can drive again.
The best thing about him is that he's kicked out and brought KMag back for 2022.
This boy is the definition of "good riddance".
Which F1 driver accrued highest crash damage costs in 2021 season?

You deserve so much more subscribers mate great content 👌
Lets not forget when Mazepin moved dangerously on the Zandvoort straight and Mick almost rear ended him
"the race started better this time making all the way past turn 13" just made my day XD
"Italian Jesus" damn you did Giovinazzi dirty right there
With the current set of racing directors, Mazepin would have caused like 50+ red flags across the season.
"Canadian Cash On Wheels" Had me dieing😂
And that was before his performances to start this year
I just wanted to say, i haven't watched your channel (but i m going to continue watching). as soon as you got to the Netherlands and said "Max Verrstapen Land", i got shocked because I always say that.
I mean it's pretty accurate
@@On_Track_91 Yep!
Stroll video next then I'll get the popcorn ready
Will have to be Latifi, tho I don't think anyone gonna top Mazepin for a whole season of just facepalms
honestly idk how the DTS episode managed to make Sochi seem like a good weekend for him lmfao
Werent there some controversies about his chassis being heavier due to repairs from previous season from the very beginning of the 2021 season? Also i think i remember an interview with Nikita saying he had to learn some tracks on the codemasters game. I am not sure, but i think a ferrari pal Mick and the rb dude Yuki have access to their (or at least like copies) cool pro race simulators and have more practice that way than Mazepin. And i really have a laugh seeing the stat where Mick broke his car worth more repair costs than Nikita. The performances of Schumi and Tsunoda didnt get that much better this season and the latest weekend was a mess for both. Kinda sad for not seeing if Mazepin would actually improve this year as he got just robbed of his money so that Magnussen can get points he could have fought for. Would be interesting if Nikita became a real midfield competitor, you know. Ruin a lot of expectations. But a special operation is a special operation so we’ll probably never know now
also, nice video, have a nice time author man
Yeah i do recall the chassis stuff, tho if i remember right the team were adamant it was the same, other than when a chassis was broken and an old one needed
iirc haas said they rotated the chassis between the two, so they both drove the bad chassis on different weekends
The money dried up, he wasn't robbed
@@watersnortmoment3734 you mean uralkali is bankrupt? They literally paid like $30kk before the beginning of the season and the team ripped the contracts with both uralkali and Nikita Mazepin leaving the money to themselves. Literally the only reason they can still take part in races until they find a new sponsor. Schumacher's crash also doesn't make this situation any better
I've lived in the US my whole life and had no idea there was a Mexico City here too....
So well done!!!
It is so impressive how consistent his pace is.
Consistently 💩.
