The Kimi Antonelli Dilemma: czcams.com/video/4mUFo3_WysI/video.html
Please do a video in your Goku voice
Do you think mick could go to audi sauber?
Sorry but Nyck de Vries would be the best option until Kimi is ready. Everyone Praised his Technical input. Lewis Russell Yuki Toto all praised Nyck for that. And they really need a driver like Nyck to improve the car.
If Vettel sits down with Toto to sign the contract, he'll sign his name as Mick Schumacher.
Oh god, please no. Anyone but Mick.
Yeah that a good idea because of course there just like brother and giving the seat to mick for 2025
@@Bradleywood.249 more like hes trying to be a father figure for him
I really want mick to get a seat again
Max Verstappen’s dad??
To your point at 0:45 I remember Hamilton couldn't contain himself in his interview when Alonso flew by with the R25. I know everyone has their engine sound preferences, but the v10 will forever be my favorite engine throughout the time.
You never experienced the fire breathing V12 monsters from the nineties screaming up Kemmel at Spa. Oh, my Lord. Those were the days
Imagine telling someone in 2018 that Vettel and Lewis would swap seats but not in the traditional way
that one panel from Tails Gets Trolled
It was a story in 17-18 to be honest. Ferrari just didn’t want Lewis to bring Toto and the rest of them
@@MrSchmekkerlmao you have no clue what your waffling about .
@@yazanrajei I’m not so sure about that :)
vettel at Merc fighting lewis at Ferrari would be a absolutely extraordinary!
Can you do a video on what’s going on with Toto? Ever since the end of 2021, he’s been off. He’s no longer this cool, calm, and collected business man, but rather he’s emotional, speaks out, and overall seems quite disheveled and out of sorts.
Interesting video idea
Drive to survive made him a pr figure
Easy to be cool & calm when you're winning everything. Harder when you're on the strugglebus.
In 2021 Toto wasn’t cool, calm or collected… he was raging, blow outs on screen, hysterical, telling that he was with a psychiatrist for many years already ….
Bro never was collected and calm, have you ever seen 2018?
I think vettel was very suited to a very particular type of car in the blown diffuser era. Whilst there's no doubting he's one of the greats he never really had the consistency once the aero regs changed.
Seb said in a recent interview that he definitely does not plan to return to racing anytime soon he still is interested but there is no motivation or whatsoever to go back to F1 or try something new like WEC or Formula E so because of that and recent "leaks" saying Vettel isnt on mercs list i don't think he will return to F1 for the next 2 to 3 years
I presume Vettel retired on a high note, and went off into the sunset having won it all in F1. And yes age isn’t a thing anymore because Alonso is still racing so Vettel could come back. Does Vettel have the hunger again, or is he done for good? Only time will tell now since 2025 is still long away from us. Though next year it’s going to be interesting for sure
i think it would make more sense for seb to race in another series part time for a year where theres not as much pressure like wec or formula e to see if he has that hunger rather than sign a 1 year deal in f1 to just loose interest a few races in
@@Oblio1942
>"not as much pressure"
>uses Formula E and WEC as examples
@@andresmartinezramos7513 wec is like 8 weekends, much less work, formula e is the same, those two combined are like 2/3 of the time of a regular f1 season
AGE is still a thing....Just because you have one anomoly doesn't mean it doesn't matter at all for the majority of drivers. Vettel is washed and should stay away promoting his climate change BS.
Age is always a thing, just because Alonso can do it doesn’t mean everyone can
I don't know, this would be a huge gamble from Merc's side. While he would be able to help them with car development, he would not help much performance wise. He had noticeably dropped performance wise in his last few years and I doubt that he would regain his form.
And also - I wouldn't want him to return as a driver. He has already had his time under the sun, someone else should get a chance.
So him being a position akin to what James Vowles was in Mercedes is more viable.
Imagine being the first and only team principal on the grid to drive their own car since 1979, and literally the first person to do so for the team's development.
Seb in the Aston Martin WEC team with the Valkyrie would be amazing, reunited with Aston and a Newey car
I actually think a Porsche project in WEC would be perfect for Vettel.
He gets to fulfill his hunger for racing, and because races are so apart from each other he could spend all that time with his family or any other project he has.
Being in a F1 team, even as a consultant, would need him to follow the team all around the world, and that's the thing that made him want to leave in the first place.
Gotta say, love your Toto's impressions. 😂
also gratz but also gl with your 5 weeks old champ!
I think it’s a terrible idea, honestly. Seb is not Lewis or Fernando and he went over the hill a long time ago.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No please! There are enough promising young drivers without a seat to give it to someone who underperformed with Aston Martin... I mean, look at the gap in performance between Alonso/Stroll and between Vettel/Stroll!
100%
Agree on Seb underperforming towards the end of his career but F1 is not about people “deserving” seats, it’s about the best drivers possible and even if Seb was only 2 tenths quicker than Stroll he’s still a quality driver, and a known commodity.
Underperformed with aston? You pretend that car was driveable.
Exactly. I mean, I find it very amusing that there's all this talk about Antonelli this and Antonelli that, but it almost feels like F1 just flat-out forgot that a couple years ago it was "Theo Pourchaire is the next big thing! We need to get Theo into a seat!!" And now it's like "Pour-who?"
@minovskyparticles1834 yes underperformed with AM and beaten outright by Leclerc at Ferrari. The guy had his chance, he shouldn't return.
The thing about not having the "Hunger". I feel it comes down to, our bodies are able to react quicker than "we" are able to make ourselves react, if that makes sense.. "Brain, put foot down, turn wheel" etc. Like you almost unconsciously react to things and muscle memory takes over. This is something all top athletes have, it's entering a flow state. This is massively hindered by anxiety and such. If you don't have the drive anymore to be in F1 you most definitely won't be able to enter a flow state and race your ass off.
Disagree. You may not like something and still be in flow state when doing it. Examples: studying a subject you don't like, writing, cooking, running.
That is an example of repetitive action, where it takes a modicum of intellectual thought to complete. It's the emotive response that drives an individual to do a certain activity. And if there is none, then no amount of external motivation will change that.

@@sanjayvallabhhis studio is still in the attic would be the best joke. Climb the ladder to the studio lol
A tall order
11:29 The Toto imitation is spot on. 😂
No no no, as a new f1 fan, I'd love to see the old guard live, but I want to see a new generation of talent as I grow to love the sport, not a repeat of past decades
Exactly why you are a DTS fan and should stick to that. If you had any idea about Seb Vettel then you wouldn’t say that. And watching reels and small shorts will never give you that idea.
You are just setting yourself up for disappointment thinking he'll be back
yep , he´s not coming back
Congrats on the new addition to the family!
Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
0:55 - literally everyone pauses your video to go and watch Alonso going round Abu Dhabi in his V10
Lauda really wanted Seb in Mercedes, and even Toto said that the mere fact that Seb could be on the driver market deserves to consider making him an offer, plus there is the whole "German driver in a German team" thing. So, anything is possible.
Love your content @LawVS. Always a good watch 🤙
man if only vettel comes back...i'm also pretty excited about kimi
Bwoah
Speaking of missing the sound of the V10s, I really dislike that Formula E-esque electronic "whirrrrr" the new F2 cars have. It's even more noticeable IRL. I'm really, really hoping the 2026 F1 cars don't have a similar sound but I'm not particularly confident they won't. Jack Doohan was supposed to drive a 2000 era V10 at Melbourne but it was cancelled at the last minute for technical issues. I was so bummed. Still got to see a bunch of 1960s F1 and Le Mans cars do a few runs, which was amazing.
Sound is so important to going to see an F1 race. I remember hearing those engines echo around the city in Melbourne up til 2013, I lived 20 miles away and could clearly hear them. It was great to see the Porsche 911's race in Melbourne as support races, with brutally loud engines. My ears are still ringing. It's visceral and exciting and you feel the sound ripple through your whole body. The current F1 cars were louder than I expected, but nowhere near loud enough!
I love the constant content flow fr ❤
IMSA/WEC is easily the most exciting thing in motorsport for me right now, found it last year, and completely hooked - probably more than F1 since there is just so many stories/battles within the packs.
The nascar “BRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!” Has been dying! 😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
8:30 that smile on Vettel face reminds me of Olds day
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁😀
Another fabulous video. Thanks really enjoyed it. 👏
No offense if seb joins Mercedes for 2025 that would be the second time a retired driver joining Mercedes the first being Michael Schumacher
I was of the same opinion to you on the kimmi antonelli thing until I heard Will Buxtons opinion on it on the red flags podcast yesterday.
Basically since 2025 is a throwaway anyways it’s the lowest risk time to bring a rookie in and get familiar with the team. That way in 2026 they don’t have to worry about learning a new team and a new car regulation at the same time.
Also Toto seems to be really upset about the max thing all that time ago so he might be willing to risk hiring a rookie this time.
This is a way of looking at this that I hadn't thought of. I would have considered getting used to the team and the new car and everything in 2025, only to have all sorts of regulations change the next year, would be even more confusing to a new driver. But I think I may be giving far too much weight to the regulation changes affecting the mentality of a driver. It's definitely something to consider.
Toto might just be unlucky, because Antonelli is already destined to drive for Ferrari one day. I'm so happy he won't have to experience Haas, I wish Mick joined the Mercedes Academy and joined Williams
Fair Dinkum impression of Toto M8!
I love it that your Toto impression is of him at 1.25x speed
I think Carlos Sainz could be very good fit for Mercedes as he is totally opposite what Russell is. Very Reliable, adaptability & strategic. Has good experience.
Also Carlos strategically uses other drivers to help secure wins, instead of blaiming others for his crashes..
Thank you for your bunch of thinking. I would love to see Vettel compete with enthusiasm in F1.
Side question: Will the new regulations for 2026 make F1 suck? The utter failure of EV makes me wonder. 2026 may be the turndown point of the current fun we currently enjoy.
Vettel is someone who can develop a good car. It’ll be good for Mercedes.
Didn’t do much for AM
@@stevenwitts6968 Do you remember 2023 winter testing, only 58 days after Vettel left the team? I think he did a lot.
As a wec fan i hope none of this affects his interest in le mans 🥺
As a huge merc fan and a even bigger seb fan i would be absolutely overwhelmed with joy to see him back on the grid and in a mercedes. All i would need after that is to see george get the boot and have kimi come out of retirement to race side by side with seb once again. Oh man what a dream 😍
Now THIS is a banger idea!
That was something I had never considered, but now you've just made me want Seb back
Seeing the Nascar among the Le Mans Race cars is like seeing a Trex in the middle of a bunch of velociraptors.
The way your hair suddenly flew up wildly when you proposed Seb doing the Indy 500 😅
23 or 24 races a year is a big commitment. And thats one reason he stepped away. To have more time with his family. But him driving next at Le Mans would be viable. Since hes already tested the Porshe EVO as well. He did enough laps for 2 Grand Prix. So hes still in Great shape.
HOT takes thrown out is my favorite thing about these situations.
Best thumbnail of the season…so far
Loved that toto impresion 😂
Very intersting to see people being more interested with the scene outside the F1 races with the new young drivers like Antonelli, Lawson or Bearman.
The Red Bull Drama or the oncoming 2024 silly season for the 2025 driver seats
No it’s the British who like to keep bashing RBR…. The rest has been silent abt it for awhile now.
Fiona made a false complaint. That’s proven by the law firm who did the independent investigation. She has no grounds to sue. She made her own career blow out and has hurt the careers of many women who aspire to get into F1 in any job too…..
Nobody will takea chance on taking on a female PA or as any other assistent anymore. The risk of these false complaints are too high.
This has hurt all women in F1…her lies.
Law is that polo from m&s, have a similar looking one. Good to know you’re a stylish f1 attic dweller xxx
Thought it was stupid by the title, but now its for me the best possible option honestly
Giving Vettle a year would be great optics for Mercedes.
The idea of Vettel in a merc vs Verstappen reminds me of that scene of Tai Lung facing Master Shi-fu
Seb in the midfield, we saw him in the AM there
The first F1 race I ever saw was Vettel winning the 2011 championship.
I know my nostalgia doesn't make this a good idea, but I would probably shed tears of joy if Seb rejoined F1.
Plug in Hulk for a season until Kimi is ready!
Yes, Seb has a record of hard working car development. Not sure how well this would translate in a Merc environment. I'd much prefer to see him go for the triple crown, that would be more entertaining and boost his legacy too.
Mick would be a great fit. It might work, it might not. But he deserve the chance, he's keen, has some experience and already works there.
Just imagine Vettel winning Lemans.... history making result, maybe a lil indy on the side 🤔
Winning LeMans is not based on 1 driver….. its team of 3, full crew, car needs to hold up, no crashes with other cars…..
its a miracle if you win it.
And ….. ANTONIO GIOVINAZZI WON LEMANS24 last year with Ferrari…….
bro i will watch just for your TOTO impression LOL
Wow:
Mercedes: Vettel;
Redbull: Verstappen;
Ferrari: Hamilton;
Aston: Alonso.
This would be absolutely amazing!
Seb's technical feedback is so rich it helped Aston Martin fight for podiums without even driving the AMR23. So Mercedes would love that type of driver to understand the car even better.
Serious question, what is the general thought of Lewis ability to give usable feedback?
@Idk56373 I have no idea, but Seb has been more praised by his teams thus making it a highlight skill in his toolkit.
Cue the Pink Panther music😉
@@Idk56373not very good ain't it. They did what he wanted and the car is an absolute dog to drive😂
@@Idk56373
People with no wheel knowledge say he's terrible at it, whereas it's known he's one of the best at it, just not necessarily communicating in engineer speak perse like some other drivers
He can tell you how to make the car fast, what to change to improve balance, etc etc, but he probably isn't going to sit down with the engineers and say hey I think next year we might want to design the front suspension to have x amount more anti-dive bla bla like Seb or Alonso might, but if he went yeah we need to work on front suspension then his engineers can translate his feeling and explanation into proper development then the car is gonna be rapid
I think a big issue Mercedes is having besides the performance not correlating in sim vs irl, is not being as good at interpreting the driver feedback as they used to be
People say Nico Rosberg is one of the greatest ever drivers in terms of technical knowledge, yet neither Hamilton nor Bottas are considered anything near him, but Mercedes continued to dominate after Nico's departure, etc, there's many examples that Hamilton is a good driver with feedback, just not the best
He’s not young Vettle. He gives no indication he’s got that edge that made him great… hasn’t for a long time. I hope he doesn’t do it. 2021 was 3 years ago and it was just a podium. He seems so happy now. And honestly bringing more joy driving retro cars than a whole field of modern F1 cars for me. Because of the noise.
As much as I would love to see Vettel back in F1, I think that, as you hinted, this much like any other Mercedes move boils down to how Kimi Antonelli does in F2.
You’d have to think that after what happened when Mercedes had a shot at Verstappen, plus having seen what happened when Alpine got caught with their pants down with Oscar that Toto, if Kimi manages to win F2, is putting him in the seat day one if Williams won’t play ball (which I don’t see why they should honestly).
Kimi won’t win F2 😂 havent you watched the first 3 races? 😂 He is a kamikaze driver…. Taking the wrong risks. He needs to learn so much before he is ready for F1. He is nowhere near what he needs to show in F2. That’s why Toto has been quiet abt him. His actions in F2 are not up to expectations. KIMI will need a 2nd year in F2 to even proof his worth for F1. He truly hasn’t performed as he was supposed to…….
@@Redlingstein there is a big reason I say *if*.
The season is still young (as is the driver) and things can change, but right now if Kimi isn’t in a shot to win Formula 2 then he stays there for at least one more season, maybe two, while someone else takes the Mercedes seat.
My point is more if somehow he suddenly takes the F2 championship by storm, Toto probably won’t want to risk not having him in a seat for 2025, not a reflection of how he is currently in his skillet or standings.
Raikkonen POV: Nice story.... but it's more like a hobby! (not a competition)
Here is a thought....Toto's replacement = Otmar....the man is great at recruiting great engineering talent, big and small proof is Aston Martin, and Alpine. Including driver signings on both Teams. He understands the game and time or lead time to get to success. Mercedes is clearly on the rebuilding process. You noted well that old sponsors are leaving with Lewis and New ones coming in. That's good to have a fresh start with George and whomever else. I personally don't mind George and Kimi. Both strong and young, future of the Team. Like Maclaren boys. Why not bring Kimi to learn, crash and learn his rope while the Team is not fighting for Championship. Like George is doing now. People are laughing and ridiculing George for his mistakes. The thing that they don't know about George is, he welcomes mistakes as a learning experience. Especially now that they are not fighting for Championship. Like Max in Torro Rosso. He is sharpening his skills. I like that he pushes boundaries and test his limits. I am especially glad that Toto and Team have finally accepted that they're on the rebuilding process, so George's difficult weekends are part of learning. So, the sooner you bring in Kimi in the fold, the quicker he learns about the Team and experience he gets. George is a great Teacher and is great with young talent. Mercedes young drivers program manager Gwen, said he helps him with the Juniors. Even George said that's one of his passion for the future. Vesti has mentioned in many interviews how George helped him in F2. Even Logan in F4. He is Team Mercedes and would help Kimi in order for them to go against Lando/Piastri another young combo built for McLaren long-term future. Ferrari will also align Charles with a young Bearman. So, the quicker Mercedes bring Kimi in the better.
Max and George are my favourite drivers and I think would get on well. I feel they both care about driving cars more than the Marketing side of the job😊. They enjoy their lives outside the sport. Have great stable relationships and family and management. They'll be lethal together. Both aggressive drivers, love winning and ring everything from the car. Intelligent and technical. Their debriefs would be gold.
I think Dr Newey would follow Max to Mercedes. Imagine a combination of a super Aero specialist and Engine Maker of HPP. Wow.
Max and George would work for 3 years. Max doesn't intend to be around as long as Lewis and Alonso have been. While Kimi does a stint in Williams after F2.
Honestly I would love to see that. Even though it’s almost impossible.
People keep saying gas isn’t sustainable, yet somehow we keep getting more and more of it with no end in sight. Sounds sustainable…
10:32 DRC is very reliable source
I'm really worried, because if he wants to do what Michael Schumacher did at the time, I'm not very sure...many put Schumi's time at Mercedes as a stain on his impeccable career, I don't believe that, I genuinely believe that in 2010 it was going to be a Schumacher Alonso rivalry, however the Mercedes car from 2010 to 2012 was not the beast of power that we were used to seeing Michael, but I am genuinely terrified that something like this will happen with Vettel and this time I do not see Mercedes as a team that needs to evolve, but rather it has already reached its maximum potential and now it has not been able to adapt and I do not see the possibility of returning to being contenders for the title as close, I simply see them stagnant until 2026 and I don't want Seb to go through something similar to what happened at Aston Martin or something similar to what happened to Schumi
13 minutes ago and already arround a 1000 views.
You earned it
Vettle could even beat stroll. Stunning and brave
Imagine if vettel never left, we could of had an awesome 2022 max vs vettel fight
Doubt it, he really fell behind Leclerc in 2020, by 2022 he would've been either number 2 driver at Ferrari or in any other team.
I really don't think we need anymore older drivers stretching out their careers. I'd like to see Vetel in a coaching advisory role.
Great video
As much as i love Seb, i would love to see it back, but i just hope thats not the washed one we saw at his end of ferrari and end of AM(even if he showed a little spark of comeback in end of 2022), if he gets in at least see him able to challenge George, and show why he was great during his 4th champs and in his Ferrari prime before his sad downfall.
I admit that this expect is as high as a comeback of Valterri in my only personal opinion.
How about, Maybe a season seat share with Mick? (and then a Lauda role?)…. with that Merc would know, If up against Russel Mick could cut it or if Seb was shot (and if neither worked bring in Kimi A)
As much of a fan as I am of Vettel I am really tired of no new seats opening up much less a retired driving coming back and taking a seat…
Agreed!
Russell / Sainz - you heard it here first
it makes sense until you think about the rookies waiting in the wings and the capable drivers already on the grid, as much as i love Vettel there isnt space for him in my opinion
"Hey Kimi you should drive for Mercedes"
"Why?"
"Pure head games"
"Ok"
I'd honestly rather see him in Le mans Hypercars. Would be interesting to see how good he performs
I said that the moment the new of Hamilton leaving Mercedes broke. There's no conceivable scenario in which Boy George could be sold as their lead driver to the Mercedes boardroom. If Wolff can't reel in Verstappen, Vettel is one of the most likely candidates.
Nobody is mentioning Nico Rosberg! I know it’s been 8 years since he’s been in a formula one race, however he is still driving cars around tracks, and probably hasn’t lost that much
Love to see Seb come back.
I really think its time the old heads make room for new talent. I wouldnt say seb has lost it but he's older now, he's a father. Im sure his thinking and thoughts are different from the era of him getting on his knees and praising the monster red bull that got him 4 wdc titles. I love his initiative for the new fuel and i hope he goes all in and sticks with it. Its time for new faces.
lol , I can't believe I just watched someone on the ladder talking 20 minutes about f1 just bcuz I love see.
@lawvs. We need a logan sargeant video! (Wat do i know, im just a commenter 😂)
Interesting scenario. Completely out of left field, but interesting nonetheless. We’ll have to wait for his announcement on Insta…
I watched this video yesterday. Today Vettel is all the buzz about taking the Merc seat for 2025. With Hamilton hailing him as “an amazing option”. I think you opened the floodgates on this.
It would be absolutely legendary
I love Seb but him getting a drive for Mercedes would again just show that F1 teams have little faith in the large talented young driver pool that deserve a seat. I would love to see Seb take the FIA head role. Seb has had a interest in the political side to F1 for many years which is unusual for a driver and I think he has a vision that would make him ideal for the top job at F1, he would also get universal support from all the teams.
Australia season opener. YES!!
Did we already forget how mid Vettel was in the end?
F1 "fans" have the memory of goldfish.
I definitely dont see Sainz or Alonso signing up for a one year, two at the most, seat with Merc knowing that Antonelli is their choice for 2026 or '27
Honestly as a PR move and a solid 2nd he would be ok,unless he pushes and spins again...but still id prefer Hulkenberg over him
If it ain't F1 I'd like to see him in WEC. But I'd understand if he wants to focus on his family
It would be nice, but I think Ferarri broke him.
But can Merc create a car with giga slow speed traction like his winning Red Bulls for his loved V style cornenring? Hardly.
