This was the most anti-climatic championship conclusion ever
EVER by a country mile 🙄😒
Polar opposite of last year
The most confusing as well.
Yeah I guess
And the most confusing
My favourite bit of commentary from this race was with 15 minutes left in the clock. It went:
“And we’ve got a seven-time world champion (Hamilton) leading a four-time world champion (Seb) leading a two time world champion (Fernando)…” brief pause “and then Latifi.”
The GOAT among the Greats
@@XxReactiveWeaponsxX 😂
Lord Goatifi accomplishments are beyond any mortal commentary!
What about when Crofty said there were 7 championships between Ocon and Hamilton during their battle?
@@hdr_diamondz there was that too! 😂 (after commenting on the Seb-Alonso 6-time battle).
I love that mick left the haas space and went on adventures, he was at alpine to see estie bestie, he went to Aston martin to hang with his grid dad seb and had a chat with alpha romeo principle aswell. boy wants away from haas and i am here for it..🤣🤣
Can you blame the guy? Especially after watching their strategy for this race?
@@jonotto1997 Imagine a world where Mick stayed out and someone immediately crashed causing a red flag and the race never restarted. If it happened fast enough, he could have had a podium or even a win if it happened at the exact perfect time. I completely understand why they rolled the dice and took their shot. It didn't work out, but to me the potential reward was worth the risk.
@@rainman6090 I understand it, but I disagree with it. Take that gamble with Kevin. He wasnt running in the points and his pace wasnt exactly phenomenal. Bring mick in earlier to get intermediates and keep him up fighting for points, Haas needs to go for the safe points because they can't compete week in and week out. They need to take what they can get.
The "boy" needs to be away from F1. No talent whatsover, apart from crashing and being slow. True nepotistic piece of crap.
Add to that the one time he ended up in the mercedes garage for one reason or another
Brazilian reporter on suzuka interviewed Mario Isola about the usability of the wets, and his response is worth spreading;
He basically said that teams were all in on developing the slick tires, but when pirelli was asking them to test and develop the inters and wets, no one was interested. So there’s this hypocrisy that teams want a good wet tire, but dont make a single effort to test and develop them.
Mariana Becker, the Brazilian reporter.
It was a good interview both during FP2 and the race!
Game theory
Probably due to budget cap ;-)
Thank you for sharing this
Budget cap applies to the cars. Helping Pirelli design better tyres is outside that. However why can’t the supposed world authority on tyre design build half decent wet tyres?
By the way sports motorcycle tyres, are in effect slicks with a few grooves. They work in the wet so how hard can it be?
If you ever feel confused in your life… remember Max’s clueless face in break room
He was like "Man it's lonely here" when he's in the World Champion throne 😭
@@chnathan a man of the people
Even in the cooldown room he is like "You sure?"
@@ToxicAWOL Newey told F1TV reporters that he found out about the WDC from the big screen behind the podium. RB thought (like everyone else) that they would need 1 point more so Max was trying to get the fastest lap point to the end.
@@SulFurMen If RB would have known about the full ppoints they would have urged Max to push a bit more and pit him 3 laps before finish for new inters.
Regardless of the penalty or it being full points, we can all agree Max would've won the title sooner or later
💯 true. Max was always going to win the Championship this year - based on his overall performance. But for some reason the FIA and their bizarre decisions are making it easy for some fans to say Max wins his Championships in nefarious and/or illegitimate ways. IMO two things can be right at the same time.
1. Max is a great talent, deserves this Championship and
2. The FIA are doing a poor job applying the rules in the manner we’ve all interpreted and come to expect.
You know its bad when Redbull and other teams (people who’ve done this for a living for decades) come out and say they didn’t know Max had won the Championship (even when taking into account the 5 second time penalty for Leclerc). It’s just chaos, no wonder the fans are so easily split.
@@ACsPianoCorner the thing is, FIA followed the rules perfectly, it was the commentators who confused everyone by giving (unknowingly) false information
@@kuroneko9270 Second time, see Monza :P
@@WindowLicker_-9 in spain, DAZN commentators also had a mistake and gave us bad information
@@Panzerairlines actually 3rd time. The track limits fiasco in austria too
Gasly's post race interview in F1's post race show told everything. He was just fuming, trying so very hard to control himself to not yell and curse non stop, the guy was livid !
You can see Jules death really got to him, it felt like he was still living it when being interviewed. I feel bad for him
Yeah it’s just disrespectful to the drivers. Jules Bianchi died on this very track and under same conditions. It was scary. His anger was justified. Someone should be held accountable
Don't. If the incident meant that much to him he would not have gone through the zone at full speed. He blatantly ignored double-waved yellows and while I can agree it was idiotic of the FIA to put out a tractor in those conditions, Gasly did himself no favours with his antics today.
@@larsoftheredhotlovers6220 no matter the speed, there should never be a tractor neither marshalls on track when cars are running. We all saw how that ended up in the past
@@larsoftheredhotlovers6220 You are right, he knows there are marshalls there, debris on track. He could have easily killed a marshall but instead he just whines that by driving 250 kph in red flag conditions, he could have died. It is okay in the heat of the moment but someone should have told him to stop making a fool of himself.
@@philb8437 Does that mean that every stranded car should result in a red flag? The safety car was introduced to try and get away from red flagging races. It should be taken out of the drivers hands and there should be an enforeced 80kph speed limit past any zone where vehicles are being recovered under safety car conditions.
as an Australian who normally has races at 11:00pm on Sunday which finish between 1-2am Monday morning, having a race at 3pm was really nice 😅
Id rather watch a race at 11.00pm than at 06.00 am in the morning, still respect tho
I lived on the US west coast for years and had to get up at like 4am every race week for quali and the race. Now I live in Korea. I didn't complain then, and I don't now for staying up late.
Idk how you Australians do it. I fell asleep after the race restarted around 130am and woke up right after the race was over.
happy for you. i do feel for the brits at 6am in most european countries its 7am which is somewhat a normal time to stand up
yes these Brits don't understand the pain of staying up late or waking early.
and they complain ok waking up early for just 1 or 2 races over the season
The fact that Latifi scoring points isn't even in the top three spoken about things just proves how bonkers this whole race was.
Also kudos for the pretty much 4 hours livestream, I wouldn't have gotten through the race without you folks.
The fact we think it should be speaks volumes about Latifi though lmao
i think the rules are quite clear. unlogical but clear. i dont get how broadcasters did not understood it.
But Latifi has been bad enough as sa driver that many also don't really care about how well he does (or does not).
GOATIFI!!!!
What..? Latifi scored points? Seriously?
Max: "I feel Lonely.." (After becoming the 2nd WDC)
*WE FELT THAT*
POV: You're max and you just realized you went so fast everyone else is still out on the track
One thing: Pirelli representative said on the bandsports channel that the full wet tyre is as bad because teams refuse to test it, only testing slicks because and I quote "teams said they're not important". He went on a full rant about it later saying that the teams can't complain about tyres they refused to help testing.
Game theory
Max sitting in that World Champion room by himself for 15 secs said it all
Yeah he sat there and said I feel lonely here and came back with Checo and Charles lol. To a supersticious guy like me I was like nooo dont say that, but thats just how max is.
Haas is so consistent for ruining Mick’s race
And when they aren't, he ruins it himself. Haas deserves better
And then blaming him for it
@@clementtrolong3420 no haas don’t the have possibly ruined a young talented drivers career who has showed pace and solid defensive ability by making every mistake they make his fault and then punishing his errors while not giving two shits when Magnussen messes up every lap 1
@@clementtrolong3420 Haas deserves to be liquidated for their utter incompetence and the ability to ruin as many Mick's races as possible
@@noahtaylor7106 Mick has been outperforming Magnussen since Silverstone basically, but gets destroyed by HAAS. He seems like such a nice bloke and gets utterly destroyed by them. Such a shame
One of Max’s most dominant performances… like 27 seconds in 28 laps. Not a single mention of that…
You don't often see the leader open up a pit window gap behind themselves, but Max pretty much managed that in just half race distance
@@Septimus_ii don’t think I’ve seen that happen this entire year between Leclerc and Max, tbh
also nobody talking about max asking to pit with like 2 minutes left😂
@@gmarz9611 Red Bull didn't want to risk. Leaving the title hanging by 1 point would allow them to take the party to COTA.
It's more impressive because it was less than 28 laps... you have to remove the first 2 pre-race interruption and 3 (?) after the SC on the restart.
I know a job for Seb next season: send him to Suzuka during typhoon season and develop a wet tyre with Pirelli
Scary resemblance between Gasly and Bianchi, is that both were at Suzuka, both were in wet conditions, both had a tractor involved after a car went off, and both were under yellow flags (Gasly at the end was red, but to him he thought yellow). Only difference is that one unfortunately lost control and hit the tractor. Too similar for comfort, and still way too fresh
It's now getting to the point where us as fans are beginning to dread wet race starts because of the amount of messing about the FIA do with delaying, starting and stopping the race
With Singapore, the worst part of it being a wet race was that it was just impossible to overtake
@@Septimus_ii With Singapore the race was somewhat entertaining because a few spins and crashes caused unexpected pitstops which mixed up the grid order, but yes, overtaking wasn't exactly on point during that race.
My respect for Australian f1 fans 📈
I'm a kiwi so same thing basically, but Bathurst 1000 took my priority
you get used to it... or you wait until you can wake up and watch it and avoid all news like the plague
I did not know it was possible to be this dumb
@@broadytaylor9493 i literally just watched the end of the Bathurst 1000 in the red flag period then as soon as the race finished, could go back to F1 in time for the restart under safety car lol
It gets better over time.
16:42 I like how he tripped up on Latifi because he didn't mentally prepare himself for him to be this high on the list😅
I don't know what exactly happened with the Sky Sports, but from I've seen or heard, I'm glad that we have a competent commentator/expert squad in Poland. They absolutely blasted the FIA after this whole tractor and marshall bullcrap, and there was no shortage of strong words about it. They all were like "F##k it, I don't care, I'll say what I think, whatcha gonna do? The bunch of clowns known as the FIA put a lot of people in extreme danger and they have to pay for this in one way or another" Of course they had to mind the language, but the overall message was something like this
Sky Sports commentary is awful
The commentary team at Sky f1 UK were, I think, trying to show a balanced argument. They all agreed the crane shouldn't have been on track, but they were also worried that Gasly was going very fast in a zone that had double waved yellows. He had no time to react to the red flag really, but he should have already reacted to the double waved yellows.
The sky f1 team were also disappointed that the fia didn't comment on the fact there was a crane on track, but just about Gasly.
I think I can say the same goes for the Czech and Slovak crew. They always back their statements with facts and valuable arguments and they try to be as objective as possible. Furthermore, one of the commentators used to be an F1 test driver and almost got a seat, so he has lots of experience and often explains the technical side of the cars, strategies etc.
During that moment, they immediately said how dangerous it was and how bad FIA actually is.
There are plenty of people that are aware the FIA and the new media group will do anything for more viewers… including getting a driver killed. We saw the Grosjean effect on ratings after the Hubert fatality. Drivers warned everyone about Jeddah and we are headed to the fourth race there. Sooner or later someone is going to die again in F1. You just won’t be able to see the smiles it puts on the faces of the promoters.
in the cooldown room:
someone behind camera: _you're the world champion_
Max: _but i'm not though_
Max : I am?????
proceeds to sit in the WDC room in confusion, before going back to the cooldown room, because it was lonely there.
LMAO
@@Kaimax61 I mean, it was ruining his weekly podcast
Woke up at 6 watched the first lap and tried to stay up for the restart somehow fell asleep and woke up literally as max crossed the line 😂
I get that recovery vehicles are often deployed under a safety car, but when we’re racing in such awful conditions there should be some extra precautions. Maybe telling the teams or putting lights on the tractor or just Red flagging the race before deploying the tractor. It doesn’t matter how fast Gasly was going, if he lost control like Carlos did, he would’ve hit the tractor regardless of his speed.
How does it not matter? If Gasly lost control by going to fast that is entirely on him!
The rules state that Double waved yellows mean there are marshals on the track! If the teams are taking liberties and trying to gain time at the expense of safety, that should fall on their heads, not the FIA's!
@@larsoftheredhotlovers6220 Why are their people and tractors on track when drivers cant see shit?
In these conditions they should have red flagged, then get everyone back to the pits safely, only then put the tractor out. There is no point rushing the tractor out if there is a red flag, the japanese were too eager to clear the track, I am sure they ment well. Furthermore maybe they didnt know Gasly trails far behind, hence why I think they should have waited and checked everyone is back to the pits firstly.
@@russell6075 thats my question
@@russell6075 Everyone seems to think Gasly's vision was impaired. That's not the case. Just because we are looking through fogged lenses on onboard cameras doesn't mean the driver is.
Gasly would have had clear vision as he had no car in front and no spray.
Checo sure did his part well today. Great drive by him and insane drive by Max. Shout out to Ocon - brilliant underrated drive and Vettel - a masterful P6 in his final Suzuka race. What a champ he is.
Ocon and Vettl's defense was incredible. Latifi's too!
as i always say checo might not have the pace every weekend but he is there if he is needed. monaco singapur today. even abu dhabi and turkey last year. he is just at the right moment in the right place. i dont see him win a Championship against max but he is a damn good drivers and a perfect wingman.
@@princessaka3189 Exactly, he might not always have it but he pulls through when needed. Solid driver all the more and doing Mexico proud bringing more success as the best F1 driver for them and continuing to race more with more victories to come.
Contrary to past calls on tyres, this time Aston Martin was right on the money.
Glad you mentioned it, fully agree ! The memes literally skipped it all for some reason, was already wondering if I watched a different race lol. I loved the hard fights and high speeds of max today
The real tragedy of modern F1 was the death of Charlie Whiting, without having had the opportunity to groom a successor to the role. Stewarding and in-race decision-making has been a mess ever since.
Good position for seb
Apparently they sent people to watch Charlie work and came to the conclusion that they needed *four* people to replace him. Says it all.
@@y_fam_goeglyd and then the 4 people hold a committee meeting before taking action on any incidents...
Me too man, I miss Charlie. Charlie knows how to listen wisely, no wonder everyone respects him very much.
@@just_some_bigfoot_hacking_you indeed. Was loved by most but most importantly respected by all
Formula 1: we are the most technologically advanced sport on the planet. Hundreds of millions of dollars go into developing the technology to race at the very pinnacle of motorsport.
Weather: rain
Formula 1: oh no
When Crofty went "do you know the name of the pond beside the track?" when Herbert and Button were talking about the heavy vehicle referred to as a tractor (it is in fact much heavier than a tractor and the same model that killed Bianchi) I left my room to shake my head in disbelief.
To be fair, the diving duck was the highlight of the first two hours of 'racing'...
To be fair about them missing Max crossing the line, Charles hadn’t skipped the chicane yet and that battle was really the decider for whether Max would win the championship. Not gonna lie, though, it did get a chuckle outta me that they were so distracted because I WAS TOO lol. I totally forgot Max was so far ahead because that battle was EPIC.
What a season from Max. Well deserved, happy for him.
And yet they say cheaters never prosper
@@metro3313 luckily he isn't a cheater
@@metro3313 Okay, now say it without crying
@@gudname518 Breaching the cost cap does fall under cheating
@@metro3313 proof?
everyone sleeping on goatifi now ahead of nyck in the standings, legend
I became a F1 fan 21 years ago because of Montoya (since I’m Colombian) and I didn’t mind waking up around 6:00am to watch the races in Europe or at 2:00 (early as midnight-ish) for Japan/China/South Korea/Australia
That’s been part of my schedule since then and I will never think otherwise
Hot take: FIA followed the rules today regarding points but everyone else was just confused how it worked and that's what created the confusion
Too many people blindly believing the Sky Commentary Team, who aren't particularly known for being properly informed when it comes to the rules.
@@Thermalions F1TV were assuming half points as well and I think Jolyon Palmer is usually pretty rules savvy. I would be surprised if any commentary team actually had it right.
Not just the Sky folks...
i was watching the race with DAZN España commentary, who has, among others, former F1 driver Pedro de la Rosa, and Antonio Lobato, considered in Spain the definitive F1 expert (for me, just an extremely biased Spanish version of Croft).
They were saying all the time that the graphics were wrong, that Max wasn't yet World Champions, that this was a half-points situation... until someone actually checked the rules and told them the "if suspended" clause... they shared that with thie audience after Button's interview in the podium.
There are high chances that half their audience had already turned off the broadcast by then.
Of course they were confused because F1 rules are often way too complicated. You need to study them like you're trying to get a PhD in bureaucratic bullshit to know them all.
They did follow the rules as written.
Problem is, the rules as written around points after a suspended race are not in line with what the intention was after Spa 2021.
Fantastic season for Max, really happy for him! But that might be the most anti-climactic end to a championship fight.
Blame Ferrari strategy. They broke LeClerc's confidence and now he makes unforced errors even when defending 2nd place from Checo
Tell that to Hamilton 2020,
Schumi 2002,etc….
Could be worse.
Honestly, the championship was over before the mid season break. It was just a matter of when it became official. Max is so good and ferrari, well they decided to be classic ferrari
@@nguyenquocduy4729 yeah domination is quite boring but it is a competitive sport not a tv show
@@roadtof1. I don’t actually blame the men in front,it’s a sport with hundreds of millions on the line and everyone is expected to do their best.I blame the other teams because they can’t compete with the teams in front.
When wtf1's episode is almost as long as the race! 🏎️
Still super happy for you and your WTF1 crew Matt, you went from being a small funny youtuber to the biggest 'unofficial' F1 channel on youtube!
Max has been on fire all year, the championship last year seems to have lifted a weight off his shoulders. couple that with redbull fielding a dominant car and it felt like 2020 Hamilton/2013 Vettel Vibes. Congrats to the Young Great👏🏾👏🏾
If it's a case of Hamilton 2020 or Vettel 2013 that means this is Max's last championship 🤣
@@trousers2 it could be, i meean look at Old Nando. still on top of his game, but he may never win another drivers championship. Same for Lew. we gotta appreciate the young man while hes on top,
@@Money195625 For sure
This felt like the longest wait for the internets best reactions ever 😂
Matt looks sleepy on this vid as well 😅
ikr for effs sake
Can’t wait for the podcast tomorrow. There’s sooooooo much to discuss and I can’t wait to hear the views and likely rants from Matt, Katy and Tommy. Can’t believe some of the things that went on during this race.
If it won't run for 2h at least, my day will be ruined 😋
I think they should discuss wether the full wets are even needed when the problem isnt the rain but the view
They pretty much useless at this point
@@CihanDrwr the full wet tire should be used to ‘dry up’ the track. If 20 F1 cars do 7 laps behind a SC they remove enough water from the surface to make it dry enough for inters. That way there is still cars going around for the fans and if we aren’t going to complete all the laps this goes a short way to at least getting full points.
Katy will be having a hard time having to praise Max as usual
The lack of any mention of Alonso and Vettel's battle over the line stuns me, they were 0.000 seconds apart over the line
Next race that Max wins it'd be funny if him and RB celebrate like they won the championship that race instead of today. I feel like Max is deserved an actual celebration, victory lap/donuts, and everyone going bonkers
to be fair, trying to do a donut here would most likely result in running your car into the wall
It'd be funnier if they intended to do this and then the car breaks down on like lap 5:
Engineer: "stop the car, stop the car"
Verstappen: "mate, *** ****** ***** this is ******"
Horner: "Max Verstappen you are the world champion!"
I found it quite ridiculous that nobody had realized Max had won the championship, that just proves that the regulations are too complicated and hence why there are so many controversies regarding penalties and so on. Anyway congrats to Max. Hopefully next year the fight will be closer.
⚠️ Can't believe nobody said anything about Max's speed, you all do realize that after the safetycar went in.. he drove MORE than a second faster than anybody else on the track.. EVERY single lap ⚠️
He was quite fast yes but didn't lap 1 second faster than everybody else, those who pitted for a 2nd set of inters were faster.
I believe he finished 27 seconds before Charles in 28 rounds? No?
@@Weltmeisterzz If you take away the first 3 before the race interruption and 3 or so more behind the SC after the restart there were 22 true racing laps, so it was even better.
Nothing is said because it's quite obvious how fast the RB car is
Cannot emphasis how much i enjoy these thanks Matt and the WTF1 team!
I need to say that it was also very confusing for the tv makers when Max crossed the finish line.
Max crossed the finish line 1 lap before the last with a few seconds left on the clock.
Which should mean, 2 more laps.
Knowing this I would have thought that Max needed to do another lap after the last.
Even Max was putting out green sectors after the race.
Hot take: had HAAS boxed MSC one lap earlier he could have been in the points this race. He would have boxed out of 3-5th and not 8-10th and possibly not have come out in last. He had great pace and was going very well. MSC would be a competitive driver if in a competitive car.
i just cant believe that no camera was recording the vettel/alonso finish, only the ones on the cars
For me, it's the fact that all the graphics that were shown showed full points and all the people commentating on the race (Sky, Dutch ViaPlay, and the Ziggo crew) kept telling us they were wrong :') FIA getting their own rules right (no matter how confusing for everyone else) and no one believed them lmao
I remember Max telling a journalist to "read the rules"
when all were confused about the grid positions. 😂
Also came back from Suzuka. Best circuit with the best vibe. One thing that killed it for me, rain. Will come again in the future
Also came back from Suzuka. The rain was so brutal! Next year the race will be held in September, so I think the situation will be a little better. The race result was so confusing. It must have been inconvenient to have only Japanese-language announcements. I left the circuit before the podium celebration to avoid the traffic.😅
Also came back from Suzuka (still not home in Tokyo yet actually), yes the rain is ridiculous. Why they don't have Australia, then Singapore then Japan so it would be earlier in the season is beyond me. Avoids rainy season and typhoon season. Maybe too logical for the FIA.
They should move this race out of the monsoon season. It's dumb.
@@kanan1361 same man. Was hectic waiting for transport back to Shiroko Station. But overall it’s not massive wait times given the queue is super huge
this race I'm glad I didn't wake up at 6am to watch it. Woke up went straight to the F1 app and saw the race there without spoilers, saved 1:30h of my life with that red flag because of the rain
I'd make a Murray Walker "Absolutely FURIOUS" joke, but no, you're right.
Half of the reason Masi was fired was because he couldn't be trusted to not cause another Bianchi-esque accident, and then less than a year later, at SUZUKA of all places, his replacement does exactly the same thing?! Just inexcusable
That is so odd, that LH fans seem to not know the difference between a race and a season. Perhaps they cannot wrap their tiny brains around the fact that dubious decisions were taken throughout the season. Throughout, Max deserved the title. Get a life, but if not I actually appreciate your whining more. Spread the trauma
14:38 Verstappen did not come over the line to win the championship, he won the championship when Charles went long at the last conrner, so camera work was spot on for me!
Verstappen crossed the line 20 seconds before Charles missed the corner. How can you as a F1 TV director miss the race winner coming over the finish line? It is embarrassing.
Also F1TV commentators need to learn to shut up if we can hear the mighty V8 sound of the medical car. But no, they kept talking and talking and talking. Would have loved an 'audio up' lap with just medical car!
Jenson Button saying drivers need to be prepared to stop and take avoiding action under yellow then almost immediately saying Gasly couldn't slow immediately on the red flag because braking would unsettle the car at that speed is proof to me that he was going too fast. That said, I agree that heavy machinery should be kept off the track when F1 cars are on it.
So we red flag on every incident when a car needs to be cleared off the track? I doubt the fans really want that when they think it through.
@@Thermalions No but we also don't want another driver to end up like Jules Bianchi do we. Also the conditions were very poor and there were a number of cars that had already gone off the track.
14:40 and they also missed that finish with Vettel and Alonso finishing within .01 seconds of each other.
They are too busy talking about "that guy" that used to be relevant
@@jerryvr Liar. They were talking about and showing replays of the Perez and Leclerc battle when Vettel and Alonso crossed the line.
They were more focused on the Charles/Checo battle which ended up being decise for the WDC... I can give them a pass for not having shown the battle for 6th.
@@soundscape26 I guess that is fair. Though the commentary team made it seem like they were going to use those reduced points at the time 😅
@@AndyPlaysAllNight Yes they did even though the TV graphs kept showing full points. I was fooled as well.
I absolutely love living in Texas and watching 75% of the F1 season at 9am, with a freshly brewed cup of coffee. It's an amazing way to start my Sundays!
Well done Max. Winning by nearly half a minute ahead. Amazing !
Max wins the championship in the last lap of the race again!
Obviously not the most satisfying race to win the championship, but if we’re being honest with ourselves, we’ve known for quite a few races now that Max was gonna win the championship this year.
9th october today, max wins his 2nd title, as is seb exactly today 11 years ago. Hamilton finishes in the exact same spot 11 years ago and both occasion finishes behind a renault. Schumacher finishes p6 back then just like seb today. Just like they said, history ryhmes 😌
Stroll is crazy with the way he sent it at the start!
Been waiting for this all morning 😂
14:40 to be honest they didnt show max most of the race, he was so ahead 😂 most of the broadcast was ocon vs hamilton and ofcourse the checo and charles in the end
I live in south Carolina, US, but it one of the factors I love about F1 getting up waaaaaay too early to watch a grand prix, and Suzuka is one of my favorite races of the season but I am looking forward to the next leg of the season 😀 great video excellent channel 👍
As a fan living in a GMT+8 country (Philippines) the start time of the past two races have been favorable for me (Singapore: 8pm, Japan: 1pm). The next three races (USA: 3am, Mexico: 4am, Brazil: 2am), not so much.
Amen Brad! For the love of F1. 🤩
Stayed up until 4AM, and feel asleep during the red flag. Now my whole day is screwed, and I missed the race.
Everyone forgot Yuki Tsunoda having a home grand prix, who made few good overtakes initially and then ... he also pitted for new inters at the end and overtook 3-4 cars or more, during the last few laps, hence giving some action to his home Japanese fans, after losing places while pitting for inters from wets before that....
N no one is mentioning him... so surprising !!
"difficult to overtake"
KMag did a superb job overtaking in corners even button didn't think possible 🤣❤️
So no comment on How OCON defended like a Lion on HAMILTON? Wow.
I have to say it was very nice from F1 to wait for the Bathurst 1000 to finish first, before they continued with the Suzuka race. If you haven't seen it check the highlights, it was really great racing - plus couple of simracing moments :)
P. S. I'm pretty sure Zack Brown was really happy to be at Bathurst and not at Suzuka 🤣
@Rob Well nothing like SC just couple of laps before the end of 7 hours race 😂
The fact that mick lead for a few meters is insane
That came courtesy of a stupid strategy.
Ayeeee! Made it to IBR, thank you made my day🎉 not a fanboy just passionate. I agree, in the one hour rain delay, they could have showed how close they were to binning it. Especially when drivers were having to deal with wheel spin in higher gears.
so glad i have f1 tv because they often show split screens so you get to see more onboards and they also showed Max crossing the line
in the Brazilian broadcast they talked with Mario Isola and he said the teams don't want to help the development of the wet tires and that the teams only care about the dries
I heard the same... teams don't want to test in the rain because it gives them little indication on the cars' performance.
Very surprised no one seems to talk about how these ground effect cars we have now seem to suck the water off the ground and throw it way high in the air. I think that these cars are going to take full wet weather racing out of the picture all together. The spray is crazy.
How are there no memes about Gasly literally plowing the track with an advertising board?
Or the whiteout conditions?
Or lonely Verstappen?
Or just the random farce of winning the world championship and being like, "Oh, I did?"
Feels like this was a super meme-able race with a lot of missed opportunities.
At the moment Mick stayed out on wets he was 10 seconds a lap slower than Max
vettel secured the p7 in constructor's championship with 2 astonishing races in a row.
Amazing performances by Vettel and Stroll
@@Septimus_ii can't wait to see what stroll will do against fernando next season ^^
And Alfa Romeo is not that far.
Matty, your a legend. Thank you!
Been waiting since the race ended for this week's Internet's best reactions. BLESS
WTF1 should really make a series, with watch-a-long highlights!
Sainz's crash was massive and I now understand why Prost used to park his car when it rains.
My reaction when I woke up this morning and turned my dvr on was "well, I'm not going to watch a race this morning." I got to see about 7 minutes of racing before my dvr stopped.
If u think u have seen the most confused face ever….. think again:
Verstappen face in the cool down room 😂
6:55 I slightly disagree. Sure the tractor should not have been there, however at the point Gasly was coming by the race was already under safety car condition. There was absolutely no reason at all for Gasly to be driving this fast. If the track is under safety car condition and especially shortly after a crash there could always be marshals on the track trying to aid a driver in need of help. So Gasly had no business whatsoever to go this fast and was rightfully penalised. And had he been going at the speed he was supposed to be going that whole tractor on the track thing would not have nearly as dangerous as it was.
I was looking to the live lap time of every drivers and Mick on the wet was litteraly 10 seconds off the pace.. Crazy.
The onboard of Alonso in the helmet cam was crazy after in pit for new inters.. You should look at it !
The wets are so slow! If they were allowed to I'm sure all of the drivers would have started on inters for the SC start
That was absurd yes... Mick was out for 3 more laps than he should, losing a staggering 30 seconds.
i actually watched the race afterwards as i work on sundays... amazon delivery guy .. i wa quite confused at the end but super happy max got his second conscutive title! i even had a drink on that one ! i really hope one day to meet max in person and see him race live without any screens
Honestly, the start time for the race for me as an American on the east coast of America, was kinda perfect for me especially since I got to watch my Philadelphia Phillies advance in the MLB Playoffs then ESPN 2 went straight into the race coverage
I’m surprised there wasn’t a meme about replay of the duckling dipping into the water… I actually thought that was part of the race track for a moment.
We went from the most climactic championship final ever to the most anti-climactic one
I was at work and I work from 8p to 4a est,so yeah I fully understand getting up early,and staying awake.
But yeah that tractor situation was uncalled for
I actually get up every weekend around 6 to watch F1. And i enjoy it. Having a coffee in the morning everybody sleeping and the whole house is quiet. Thats my time of the day :)
I selfishly wish MAx hadn't won the championship in Japan, so that I could see him do it in person in Austin next race😅
One of the most important highlight is how cruel that penalty for gasly. He has every right to be furious with how the crane was almost literally beside him. Many drivers support him. It was more scary looking from marshall perspective.
I think a public apology is due from the FIA and stewards towards gasly, giving how dangerous that situation was
Yea i know, rule is rule, and FIA wants to be more consistent.
(edit)
gasly already clarified that the penalty was for separate incident int T14-15, while the tractor was not in there. so IMO, the penalty was fully deserved.
but still, come on, that tractor incident was horrifying and gasly has every right TO BE FURIOUS. what is FIA gonna do? fire the marshal and destroy the tractor? pffftttt
How was the penalty cruel? Does the FIA screwing up justify him making the choice to drive dangerously? Not at all. And while people are all going "does the FIA not remember 2014" the same could be asked of Gasly, in what world did he have to go at up to 250kph under red flag conditions? What I find absurd is that the stewards accepted "Well I could have done 300" as mitigation.
Driving safely is still important for driver safety.
@@JammyDuel He was driving to his delta though but I do agree with what you said. I'm pretty sure once Gasly collects his thoughts for the rest of the week he'll see the other side of the argument. However as some people has said, the red flag should've been brought out immediately after Sainz crashed. Another example of the FIA and race control being scared to make decisions.
@@JammyDuel the penalty was not for the part where the tractor was, he followed the delta through those. He was penalized for t14-15
The FIA did a bad job, again, but Gasly deserved the penalty.
The delta needs to be decreased if the drivers won’t slow down themselves. If Gasly wasn’t told about the tractor, that’s very bad, if he was and still went that fast then some of that is on him
@@Homan164 The tractor incident was 5/6 corners earlier. But we was so stressed about what nearly happened that he lost track of his delta for the rest of the lap. Can't really blame him for that...
One of my favorite shots during this race was of the race mechanics that used a tire blanket to keep themselves warm 😂 I forget which team it was, but it was earlier on in the race.
greatest f1 show out there. keep it up wtf1
Let it be hunting or hunted by Perez! Leclerc should learn that Perez is a deadly force to be reckoned with! Leclerc will never forget this year's session at Italy (Imola) and Japan (Suzuka). If Perez is not spoiling a Ferrari's party, an F1 session will be simply a dull affair.
That's 2 races in a row where Perez hasn't been incredibly quick, but has put together a superb race with no mistakes
About the last lap, the danish side also got confused over how it did. They kept saying that Max would need to finish the lap he is on and drive one more when the timer runs out. Max crosses the start/finish line with 2 seconds to go, so following the rule, then he would finish that lap and one more. For some reason when Max was still on that lap (I guessing half way around) then the race director chooses to say last lap. I dont know if it is because of the time, 17:00 local and the sun is going down, or if there was a general f up from the race directors
Yeh the same thing happened on the Norwegian side commentators said the exact same thing
@@ingendukjennerv2198 Yeah, I hope we get to know what that happened there. Because it isnt the same for all race then. Just week before they did that rule when the timer in Singapore ran out
@@Danspy501st but that was the 2 hour clock and this week it was the 3 hour clock
@@luttren As I said before, I dont know if it is because of the sun going down. Otherwise the 2 hour "event" do I think they talked about that it is getting stopped when a red flag comes
@@Danspy501st yes but it’s the same for every event. The three hour clock starts when the formation lap does and it can’t be paused. Last week we hit the maximum of two hours race time and this week we hit the maximum of three hour event time. The race clock didn’t finish this race
All during the rain delay, I kept thinking, "can't wait for WTF1; The iNternet's Best Reactions"
Watching from Fiji in Time Zone GMT +12. European and Middle East Races are usually between 2 to 5am for me on a Monday Morning. Guess who arrives to work exhausted on Mondays. All for the Love of the Sport.
Watching Bathurst 1000 and seeing Zac Brown there watching his Walkinshaw/Andretti Racing team come home second was interesting. Seeing Lando and Danny end up exactly where they started at the end of the race seems to reflect the way that they have travelled all year.
At least I got to watch an F1 race during the daytime. Pretty sick of the whinging from "The rest of the world" about having to sit up late, or get up early. I do it all the time.
I think they fucked up Danny's race, he was 8th i guess after red flag and lando was 13th, still they pitted lando first and he undercut Danny. Danny had more pace than lando this weekend, if it wasn't that lock up in Q2 he would have been easily started the race 7/8th.
Zac got to see some real motorsport racing for a change, not a bunch of whining Diva's.
