I was expecting when Schumacher finished in the pits serving a penalty to be on the list
Zen Re: whats the name of the Video?
Back when Ferrari strategists could even outsmart the FIA.
@@astroknight5 now they couldn't even outsmart their own drivers
That’s what I thought
@@sloppynyuszi Dito
Any race that Mercedes doesn’t win right now is pretty strange...
Isn't that illegal?
Oof. Weird but very very true
any race that has a double dnf for mercedes would qualify for this lmao
@@vladutcornel no
Nick Batchelor you’re right
Honourable mention for the 1998 British Grand Prix. The one which Schumacher won while serving a stop go penalty in the pits.
Rules around such an action were also very unclear so the result from that race after his choice to pit at the time could’ve been disqualification
@@G14-34 The main problem was because the FIA took too long to give the message that they had a penalty
The FIA made the mistake and Schumacher utilized the RULES to his benefit. Genius.
@@karleintracht4958 Ferrari utilised them, those were the glory days, it was a risk, but Ferrari managed it brilliantly
Schumacher was a cheat, karma got him.
'91 just shows how much of a beast Senna was. Lost 4 gears at once and still manage to drag a victory out from the jaws of defeat. Absolutely awesome man.
Similar to Schumacher's '5th gear only' drive in 1994 Spain race for 2nd place.
You Mean lost 3 gears?
@@blessedslave no. 4
Hamilton: I finished a race with a puncture
Alonso: pff I drove a lap with 2 punctures
Michael Schumacher: I drove a lap without a tire
Emerson Fittipaldi: Hold my beer I'll do a backflip over the finish line
Schumacher was still fast on only 3 tyres, he should´ve kept going ^^
@@Bozzemoggel I think he had a Black And Orange flag because it was dangerous driving with 3 wheels
It's Christian Fittipaldi, not Emerson
@@boudibol9002 Orange? What does that one mean?
@@h1ghe3a44 I ment Black and Orange flag that's 1 flag its black with a orange circle in it and it's shown when there's oil on the track
When the Lord Mahaveer didn’t become an F1 driver after Abu Dhabi
that should have been the no.1 in this vid tbh
i was livid
Lord Mahaveer was to good to be in F1 so they promoted him to F0.
It's just part of Lord Mahaveer Grand Master Plan.
@@a_yan6581 Formula Mahaveer
In Australia, the backflips aren't strange.
Bruh
Webber be like "I aimed high, but sometimes my car aimed even higher"
Haha 🤣
@@vasishtvasudevan4059 haha
Specially with eshays
Despite how slow they were, Minardi were by far my favourite team, and hearing they had a spectacular end to a race is great to hear.
*Coughs in no budget*
I was fan of Minardi when Jos verstappen was there. With the slowest car he managed to take an average of 5 cars at the start because they had the only car of the grid without all the electronics. He had to start with pure racing. At the end of the first round he was last again because the car was too slow. And in the rain he was able to take a few also. The problem with Jos is that he didn't have money. That's why he never got a real chance.
Good to see he made sure his son did.
The loveable back markers
I think Minardi was everyone's second favourite F1 team back in the day.
@@joeogle7729 Haas? Not anymore lol but before
5:56 KIMI’S SMILING BIBLICAL SCENES
Something’s wrong I can feel it 😂
2011 Canadian race was IMO the most insane ever. Button pitted 6 friggin times and came back from last to win with Seb doing the trademark Sbinalla in the Red Bull on the last lap to give up P1.
Nothing weirded me out more than smiling Raikkonen. Also clip from the first entry in the list is on youtube. I recommend watching it as it is BANANAS!
How many bananas for scale?
That 1964 Spa race was so chaotic. I was like surely that's all that happened but no there's more drama and it just kept coming
You guys badly need a permission to use F1 clips ;-;
not really...they are doing well with pictures
@@kutlachakela Kinda disagree. The stock footage and constant text seemed over-done and jarring for my taste. Could just be me though, since it was still interesting.
@@simonrussell4986 there is no other way for them atm
@@RubenTheCartographer I get that they can't use footage, but the way they are doing it is too "in your face" for my liking. Several F1 channels do it in other ways.
Espacialy the backflip...
It is pronounced: "sea - bring"
I’m glad I’m not the only who cringed a little when I heard Seh-bring
@@samjackson2219 after I wrote this I scrolled down and saw like 5 or 6 more comments saying the same, we are not alone
I’m glad I’m not alone. I usually agree with the Brits on pronunciation. But when it’s an American word I cannot agree with them!
I literally went “Sebring you fuckhead” (read in British accent) when I heard it 😂
I was like, am I wrong I always have said it like sea-bring so I'm glad you said that
1997 Monaco gp is one of my favourites. Of the 22 cars that were on the grid, only 3 finished the race and the winner was Olivier Panis, a backmarker driver.
1996 bro
After the 2002 US grand prix, Schumacher said that he slowed down to let pass Ruben because of the Austrian gp, so I think this is why he was slow
He initially claimed he was trying to stage a dead heat but later changed his tone and told the press it was payback for Austria. The mixed messages from The Michael are why it's still a mystery.
Schumacher changed his story several times regarding that race's ending; he also claimed at various point that he'd been trying to engineer a dead heat, something that was thought to be impossible with modern timing equipment. I think the video was right when it said we don't know for sure why he did it.
Surely Damon Hill nearly winning in the Arrows at the Hungaroring in 97 but being stuck in 3rd gear for the last 3 lap and losing with only a few corners to go is worth a mention!
That was painful
Favorite was definitely the back flip finish just because of how unlikely that is led alone to land it.
Huge respect to senna for a 12 lap grind to win though!
Also, if I recall correctly from Schumy's interview, he was trying to force a tie and missed slightly which I think is kinda cool for a teammate to try and do.
I remember that 1970 Monaco GP ending very well. I think that was one of the first F1 races broadcast in real time (or at least on the same day) to US audiences. It was indeed startling to see Black Jack slide into the hay bales as he went around the final corner.
The 1960s cars looked like sausages with wheels
Well, they were named Cigars
Sexy cigars! And the first ones to carry wings. Which looked weird at the beginning like those 2014 noses
@@DerBeppone ew and the 2010s cars
...then it started to rain..
Senna: HOME AT LAST!!
Jim Clark's 1967 Monza Finish. Jim qualified on pole and lead the first few laps but had a puncture and had to swap his tyre. He left the pits at P16. In a haze of red mist, Jim overtook everyone setting a lap record to lead the race in the final lap. Only for him to run out of fuel and coast to P3.
The weirdest thing about Jim Clark winning in Spa a lot was that he always admitted to hating the circuit with a passion.
1996 Monaco GP where Johnny Herbert finished last... and on the podium.
2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is about to be in this list
Senna was just a beast, the best of the best's 🇧🇷
Love your channel guys - thanks for all your hard work.
Anything exciting in an F1 race : *happens
F1 content creators : " I can milk you "
Woah
Hamilton ends on three wheels:
WTF1 creative team: Write that down Write that down
one of my best memories of f1 when i was young was the backflip, also that era of cars early 90s just look amazing, can we mandate simple wings like that again, bet that would reduce the dirty air and how much dirty air affects the car.
It would also basically eliminate aerodynamic innovation. Those wings were so simple, there wasn't much you could do to improve them by the end of the simple wings. With all the information they have now, every team would be at basically the exact same level in terms of downforce and car performance gaps would be entirely dictated by engine
@@filmandfirearms theres still the rest of the car, but simple from wing would be less affected by dirty air and a simple rear wing would produce less dirty air. Would be better of spending the capped budget on battery and other tech, than just tiny aero details most fans won't notice.
@@GlaucusBlue The wings are the main thing when it comes to downforce what with ground effect heavily restricted these days. The differences in car pace would be milliseconds, and there wouldn't be any real way to improve the car besides the power. There's a reason the FIA went in the direction they did, rather than consulting the fans, because most of us don't know what the fuck we're talking about
They are doing that with the new rule changes.
@@fallenentity2 Not as simple as they were in the 90s. They're taking a much more elegant approach than just dumbing down the whole car design
4:16 what many people don’t know, the river of rain water was actually the sewage of the sinks from the paddock club. In a rhythm of about 8 or 9 laps the water and soap mixture streamed across the track in a small river taking out several drivers. This theory has been proven but barely anyone talks about it
What
Fittipaldi's back-flip will long live in my memory. It came only a few years after I had gotten interested in F1 and watched everything. The best bit was the explanation from the Minardi Press Officer who when asked why their cars had collided answered "One car Zigged when he should have Zagged!"
I was surprised you didn't include the Canadian Grand Prix where Mansell's gearbox failed on the last lap when he'd apparently stopped at the hairpin to wave at the fans.
1:58 So Aarava isn't the only one to use this phrase...
or Matt was making fun of him
Its a fairly common old british phrase tbh.
Guess it wasn't a *strange* ending but surprised to not even get a mention of IS THAT GLOCK
you know it is the summer break when you start watching wtf1 content from last year
You should do a list of generations of formula 1, 2 and 3 drivers who's dads and relatives were drivers too... Like obscure ones, like Ralf and David Schumacher 😊
Love your vids!!!!
6:06 pronounced “SEE-bring” ...take it from a native Floridian. Another great video as usual though! 😃👍
Great video, guys!
I remember the 2014 Daytona 500 when 4 drivers reversing on the start finish line.
I remember watching the Flippapaldi live when I was younger
A finally good f1 content on CZcams
Fantastic info mate, but the one thing that sticks in my mind is the penguin and the sound clip.
Going reverse over the line, in air. RESPEKTOS!
This got recommened to me after the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP
I was expecting 1985 San Marino Grand Prix - Everyone running out of fuel except for Prost... which actually almost had, and his McLaren went below minimum regular weight in the process, so the victory was handed to Lotus' Elio de Angelis.
At 1987 German Grand Prix Stefan Johansson too finished on three wheels, snatching a podium for McLaren despite having a flat rear tyre.
I was at the US GP in 2002 and my thought was and still is that Michael showed great sportsmanship. ..
Hang on Matt you miss pronounced Sebring its pronounced like Seabring
I was waiting for this list! Haha
Mate you forgot about what I believe was the biggest gap between first and second place.
1968 German grand prix. Jackie Stewart in his Matra MS 10 crossed the finnish line alone. Got into the stand got out of the car, removed his gear and stood next to his team leader Ken Tyrell, to watch the end of the race.
He had arrived around 4 minutes earlier than the second one ! Because of his knowledge of the track, and the fact that the weather was foggy.
THE INSTANT HE SAID “RIGHT OLE DING DONG BATTLE” I LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY LAUGHING REFLEXES!!!!! I SWEAR I WAS LAUGHING FOR AT LEAST A WHOLE 2 MINUTES STRAIGHT!!!
Italy - can't remember the precise year. 5 cars within a gnat's crotchet. Peter Gethin won?
Monaco '96 - the "Who wants to win this race?" Part, the Second. (I cried when Damon's engine went kaput. I knew that just one win at his Dad's circuit would have been epic for him.)
Crazy Canada 2011. Nuff said.
Spa '97. Not only the most chaotic start but the most insane middle and determined end - well, it was incredibly wet and if Eddie wanted a one-two, keeping Ralf in his place was the most sensible thing to do. Yet more tears from this Damon girl and Jordan fan (everyone was a Jordan and Minardi fan back then. Why aren't there more Williams, Haas and Alfa Romeo fans now?).
I mean, im a ferrari fan so it equals being a williams one.
I remembered two more:
Hungary 1997 - When Damon Hill would win with an Arrows, just to be stopped by a broken washer worth 50 pence three laps to the end. And yet finished 2nd.
Brazil 1993 - The finish was easy, but the mid-race... Senna and Schumacher had 10-second penalties, it starts real raining, Hill, Senna and Schumacher change to rain tyres. But Prost, no... Rain will stop soon... 2 laps running in heavy rain with slicks. Fittipaldi spins and stops in the middle of the track, just to Prost hit his car and put the safety car out of boxes. And again... Damon Hill losing to an unbelievable overtake by Senna, just in the same lap he changed tyres.
How about the 1975 Austrian Grand Prix? Like Brazil '03, it was soaking wet and there were a lot of accidents. The race was halted on lap 29, and as leader Vittorio Brambilla came up to the chequered flag, he spun, hit the wall, and crossed the finish line backwards. Then, while he and his team were celebrating, some of the other teams were preparing to line back up on the grid because they thought the race was going to be restarted! It wasn't, and Brambilla, the oldest driver on the grid at 37, took the only win of his career.
Okay but the finish talked about at 7:55 lead to one of the coolest F1 photos of all time
I like the one where one of those cars flip upside down to
the line
98 british gp
monza... some long time ago... 1st to 6th finished in 1 second
2011 canadian gp kind of but the whole race was crazy
Me: *sees title*
Also me: *thinks of Schumacher*
Me at the end of video: *sad f1 noises*
I like how all these old races have such funny problems like: battery empty, no fuel, water refills etc.
people were just sending it back in the day😂😂😂
What about Schumacher finishing in pits in Silverstone, and Mansell in Dallas:D awesome vid btw
Where is the finish of Monza in the 2015 youtuber championship 🤣
Williams driver benjamin as a back marker flipping Rosberg to give the Force india a 1-2 finish... must be definitely on that list as number 9!!!
I was about to comment that 😂😂😂
They should make those backflip finishes mandatory for every race!
That is just epic!
Matt (or any brits), please, let me explain
S-eh-bring is wrong,
S-ee-bring is right.
i am a simple man - when i see a wtf1 video i click on it.
We need an update of this video! Let's add 2021 Abu-Dhabi. 😆
kimi smiles is more rare then having gifted 1 W11, 5 RB16, 3 Paddock Passes and a Seat at Mercedes.
6:46 bis face looks really funny😂
I looked up that 1993 Italian GP finish, oh lordy I can't imagine what it would have been like watching it live
I remember that Brazilian GP. Truly insane how crazy that was.
Haven't watched it yet but I know its going to be AMAZING like all of your other vids WTF1 (What does the WT stand for?)
Ah ok thanks
Who's The Fastest 1, i believe?
So it is "What the Formula 1"? Yeah?
@BlazingFermiteYT Check their video with Rosberg...
@BlazingFermiteYT ok thx
When Mat said "definitely happened' he sounded so sarcastic
6:32: Rodger Ward at the rear of the grid in his Kurtis-Offy midget - the only time that a speedway/oval track dirt track car competed in a F1 World Championship Grand Prix.
You missed 1985 San Marino were 4 of the leading drivers ran out of fuel in the last 3 laps and the winner (Prost?) ran out on the home straight but nursed it to the lin
I remember watching the Formula 1 race in Monza as a kid in 1993 on Eurosport with my dad. My dad hadn't seen this scene and didn't believed me at first when I told him that there was a car doing a flip at the finish.
The last time I came this early I became a dad
?
LMAOOOOOI
#1 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Maybe i wrong but i remember another perfect end back flip in F1 in years 90....in Australia ?However amazing video:)
3:20 Such a small mistake would wipe out all the last-lap drama under current rules. Article 59.2 of the current F1 Sporting Regulations states: "Should for any reason the end-of-session signal be given before the leading car completes the scheduled number of laps, or the prescribed time has been completed, the sprint session or the race will be deemed to have finished when the leading car last crossed the Line before the signal was given. [...]" That means the race result would be as if the race ended one lap early.
Schumacher and Barrichello were trying to cross the line perfectly in line (0.000 seconds) and got to within 0.006
Rare footage of Kimi smiling
Ending the video on history's most spectacular 8th place is an elegant touch! ;-)
8:53-8:55 When your team fired you from the team
Sebring - pronounced sea bring
i still think these videos would greatly benefit from footage of each thing in the list.
my American ears can't help but hear the narrator say "La Sauce" at 03:26 lmao
Spa 🇧🇪 1964 was an all time classic theirs now way a race would end like that now plus Brazil 🇧🇷 2003 was another crazy finish to a Grand Prix
Wow, a ding dong battle?!? We haven't had one of those in a while
That old Spa finish sounds like it was a riot not gonna lie...
9:37 A diplomatic sticking throttle of Berger's that was, I suspect
I don't remember which race it was--definitely in the "wings and aero" era--but I saw footage of one race that ended with three cars coasting toward the line, zigzagging like mad to move fuel into their fuel lines to get the engines moving again. If you could find that and show it I'd love to see it again.
I am a time traveler, Abu Dhabi GP 2021 is going to be unbelievable as well.
You missed the 1973 Canadian GP.....I as there.....rainy day, many incidents and the first use of the safety car in F1, a 914 driven by local hero Eppie Wietzes.....which picked up Howden Ganley as the leader...my lap charts said Emmo was leading and Chapman threw his hat as he crossed the line....chaos after the finish and after a long delay the win was given to Revson....5th by my scoring. Met Emmo years later and as soon as I said Mosport, he exclaimed, “ the rain! I won that race!”. Met Cevert that weekend and became an instant fan. And went to the Glen two weeks later to cheer him on.....
i don't care what anyone says about Lewis' three tyre ending, the Senna finish was better
And super human! Man that man is one full of Legends!
The picture you're showing for Stavelot is not the corner that was called Stavelot back then
my favorite was the one that you actually showed the original footage of.
...oh.
The one who gives impossible challenges: Do a backflip across the line.
The world: IMPOSSIBLE.
Fittipaldi: Fine, I’ll do it myself.
We need refueling back. It brings way more strategy into the race.
You are obviously not a Ferrari fan
@@pilt6569 i'm a fan for thrilling action everywhere on the track
@@TheLibermania I said it already, you're probably not a Ferrari fan then lol
But the stats show in that period there were less on track overtakes, surely we’d all prefer more on track action than pit action?
oh christ no, the last thing we f***in' want is strategy. How about just trying to overtake each other
Omg he said Sa-Bring 😂
Well… I think 2021 beats them all.
Vittorio Brambilla, 1975 Austrian Grand Prix - crashing as he won, due to waving to his team!
