- Drivers only making one Formula 1 start in their career are a rare breed, and quite often those who appear just once have an interesting story behind their fleeting presence on the F1 grid. Jake Boxall-Legge takes a look back through history to pick out eight varied stories about one-time F1 starters - some you may remember better than others. And we finish off our trip down memory lane paying our respects to a man who only made this list because tragedy intervened...

Marcus Winkelhock had an F1 career where he led 40% of all laps he's ever raced in!
mind blown.jpg
Woahwoahwoah
And led in 100% of his races, let's not forget!
**[confused FIA noises]**
Winklehock did it all in his only race. Started last. Started first. Dnf. Everything
Venu Krithish it’s the reason he never made a second start. What’s the point when you’ve done everything already?
@@jam_plays_games Haha
*started from the pits 😂🤣
Went from last to first in only one lap and some more 😂
Started First
Overtake a Ferrari
Leading a race
Driving on Wet Track
Escaping a crash
Driving on Dry Track
Starting first
Being overtaken
Mechanical Failure
the only guy in history to have
started last
started first
ran last
and ran first
in 100% of his grand prix races
I love the music change for the legend Winkelhock
A true legend needs his own hero.music
What’s the name of this piece?
why wouldn't it be? the circumstances were GLORIOUS (Patrick Stewart voice)!!!
What was the music
@@alangaming2003 Radetzky Marsch
Andre Lotterrer mate...what a legendary driver. The fact that he came in wiped the floor with Ericsson starlight off the bat says enough. Yes, granted that Ericsson wasn’t the quickest, but he’s a modern day F1 driver, who had a lot more experience with the team and car. Lotterrer was pure class throughout that weekend, he showed F1 what could have been. It was a bit like when Henrik Larsson showed up at Old Trafford.
NO ONE CAN BREAK THE WINKELHOCK
*rock
MASTER OF STRATEGY AND JUST ALL AROUND A CLEVER FELLA
I ran a check on him after that race and his father died in racing accident in 80's so he is pretty brave to continue racing like his father did.
I was at that race and it was legendary. A Dutch backmarker team running in the lead with a one-off driver thanks to a ballsy strategic move. Meanwhile everyone was sliding around the wet track creating utter chaos. You couldn't have made this race up.
@@CrLe100 I know him personally. My best friend is his cousin. They all are pretty brave 'fellas'.
A story I once heard of the shortest F1 career happened in the 50s, a driver went to a race in a car of their own construction. At the start of the race, they made it 6 meters before the fuel pump blew and they retired, thus ending their F1 career.
I'm not sure if that story's true, but it is a fun one
It has been mentioned here aswell, search for "Ernst Loof".
I think it was Loof
0:06 the moment when JBL realises that Chain Bear already did a video on run-offs 😂😂
Sad way to end the video RIP Roland Ratzenberger.
And in the race he should have started, the racer who stopped to try and help save him, also died. Eclipsing his loss in people's memory. RIP Senna, RIP Ratzenburger.
Senna didn’t assist Ratz who are you talking about?
@@truckerallikatuk How can you still miss-spell his name when it's right there?
Also, the one Senna once helped was Comas, who drove out of the pits under the red flag for Senna's accident.
Yes, Senna was in the pits for Ratzenberger's accident. I was surprised he only had one start.
In the race that Ratzenberger should have started, Senna had an Austrian flag in the cockpit that he was going to use WHEN he won to dedicate it to Ratzenberger's memory
Someone should break the record by getting DNQ, DNS, DSQ, and DNF at the same race
Let magnussen and grosjean some more time and we will see it, be patient
I don’t think that’s even possible...
DNS and DNF exclude each other, as you have to start a race (even illegally) in order to not finish it (DNF).
@@szalonysebcio5 Thanks captain obvious, you did a great job.
Also if you DNQ you can't get into the race so not DNS, DNF, DSQ.
@@szalonysebcio5 what if you have an engine failure before the 5 red lights go out.... that could work
Thanks for the list JBL. This must be the only mention of Ratzenberger without Senna's name also in the mix.

RIP Roland Ratzenberger
I see the end of the video as a tribute to Roland and in that perspective I say well done to Autosport on keeping his memory
Like others hate that the light hearted video ended on a somber note
Came here for Winkelhock comments. I was not disappointed.
Very informative, even a little bit quirky, video. Nicely done!
JBL has come on leaps and bounds. So proud.
R.I.P ratzenburger. 1994 was a bad year, man
I was at Brands in 1986 when I first heard the name Roland Ratzenberger during an FF1600 race. At the time Roland Rat was a character on TV and I was absolutely convinced that this was a nom de guerre for a celebrity driver. I just said to my friends 'no way that's his real name'. How wrong.
I think I read that he even appeared on the show himself if they weren't already inspired by his name.
Reminds me of Michael Schumacher and his namesake in the Japanese Anime "Future GPX Cyber Formula", where someone races under the alias of "Knight Shoemach", because the creators took note of Schumacher's only F3000 entry at Sugo, where he finished 2nd.
I attended the rainy Birmingham F3000 street race and Ratzenberger was entered, and in the garage his car was adorned with a Roland Rat doll . . .
Great Video.
Well, this video was awfully cheeky. Loved it.
Good video, thanks for mentioning Ratzenberger at the end. He doesn't get mentioned as often as Senna's tragic incident in my opinion.
He doesn’t deserve to be forgotten. Even if he is remembered as that other guy who died a bit before Senna at least he’ll be remembered.
He gets mentioned just about every time Senna's death is discussed. Yeah his death will forever remain in the shadow of Senna's the next day, but he won't ever be forgotten.
He was a very decent sportscar driver, just like his Austrian compatriot Jo Gartner. Sadly, both had a tragic future... ;(
I remember at the time Max Mosely was the head of the FIA and he attended Roland's funeral instead of Ayrton's because he said everyone was only talking about Ayrton.
> Marco Apicella
Oh man, that's the guy tailing me in Race Driver Grid with his Murcielago...
very entertaining video... from the GLORIOUS (Patrick Stewart voice)!!! to the somber...
no one can beat the Winki... but no one can be sadder than Ratzenberger...
One other thing I learned about Ratzenberger is that Senna, who would also perish at Imola, was revealed to have an Austrian flag in his cockpit, which he may have planned to unfurl in Ratzenberger's memory on the slow-down lap.
Props for not mentioning Senna in the Ratzenberger part. Shows class.
I've had the shortest GP career, having been no closer than 90 miles to a GP race. Saw Barry Sheen race though, amazing how he kept the car up with only two wheels.
Admit it, you never knew Tiff Needell was ever an F1 driver, he never talks about it
I've met Hans Heyer a few years ago during the Zandvoort 12 hours race, he came around to the Scheivlak home & chilled there for most of the race. Utter legend.
That is the Radetzky March right there. Well done Autosport!
Isn’t it true Roland’s seat was initially offered to Toto Wolf? Sad way to end the clip, as it was quite lighthearted until then.
I think JBL meant his spot on the grid rather than the seat
@@Secret72062 Correct
@Ash Villain Did you just wish death to Toto Wolf?
Ash Villain Mate have a quick breath of air
@Ash Villain Oh ok thank god 😂
You used an Austrian march to illustrate a story about a German driver on a German track in a Dutch car. That‘s like playing Scotland the Brave for Damon Hill in a Jordan during the US GP.
Austria is in East Germany. Dutchland is German for Germany,
fenhen No, neither is true. Austria is a country of its own and has been so for more than a millennium. It was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938 and regained sovereignty in 1945. Deutschland is German for Germany. Die Niederlande is German for the Netherlands. Niederländisch is German for Dutch. Deutsch is German for German. While the words deutsch and Dutch are linguistically related, the Netherlands are a country of their own as well, since the 16th Century to be precise. Please educate yourself and stop spreading wildly incorrect information. Greetings from Germany.
joopiecoulthard Thank you. You are far too genuine to troll. :p
I really like your content because you onlu run one at at the end of the videos
I'd never heard of the Hans Heyer story, it's sort of amazing.
R.I.P Ratzenberger 😟
other drivers have done what heyer did and were also disqualified (drivers often did it at their home gp)
What about Ernst Loof? He has the shortest F1 career with 3 Meters
If one is born in Neindorf (translated from German: No-village) then you know your destiny in advance.
Oof.
Nice, I didn't expect anyone to comment on the one with actually the shortest F1 racing career here!
@@peterdaviesracing But thats worth it?
see here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Loof#Biography
this music is fire tbh
Ricardo Paletti .................Canada 1982 .
Puntastic! ;)
Tiff Needel is a legend!
Glad you included Ratzenberger as he often gets forgotten because of Sennas death.
So Ratzenberger was the only driver to start only one F1 Grand Prix and make it to the finish line (Japan 1994)
Lap 1 change of strategy should be called a winkelclock
As if JBL is old enough to remember the old Top Gear with Tiff Needell
Err, it's called history.
Your teachers in school weren't in WW2, but...
Didn’t old Top Gear have Clarkson? :p
@@nvstewart no sh1t sherlock
Elfwald .....says the guy that made the stupid comment.
@TheBaconHunter ok, so, once in a blue moon perhaps a school has employed a teacher that had been in the war, most will not have. My point is still valid.
RIP Roland :-(
Is this the most unprofessional autosport video ever? Good! Very much enjoyed it
nah not even close
their testing crap was worse
MARCUS WINKELGOD THE LEGEND OF THE Rain
no the legend of STRATEGY
Lotterer could have been a contender if he had had a proper chance. And, who knows if Michael Schumacher would have had the same destiny as Lotterer if it wasn't for the London taxi event in 1991?
Miguel Angel Guerra. He broke his leg in his only GP. Imola 1981 in an Osella. He made three laps.
Everyone talking about Winkelhock but didn't mention that Tiff's helmet makes him look like a stormtrooper driving in a F1 car
Did you have a video about drivers who won only one Grand prix.
You forgot to mention Dutch Ben Pon, 1962 Dutch Grand Prix, who crashed in the second lap in the Scheivlak corner.
He was a friend of my father's and past away lately on Sep 30th 2019. Two weeks ago.
Dimitri Edgar Metz I was looking to see if someone mentioned Ben Pon. In that crash, wasn’t he thrown out of the car, landing in the busch relatively unscaved?
@@Flyineddy Correct. Only his ego was harmed and therefore he decided to never run an F1 car again.
Ratzenberger was just a motorsport fan as we are, who had the cash to go for it, and he had enough talent to at least take part of it. Very sad that he died while fulfilling his dreams.
RIP
PUNS...HE GOT THEM!
The ensign that Tiff drove amazing mirrors straight off a1966 Cortina GT !
I miss you Roland.
Lmao the roast on monaco
Perhaps a video on different criteria for drivers who never started a race due to
DNPQ
DNQ
BNS
Or Drivers with the most
DSQ
DNPQ
DNQ
DNF (guessing Di Cesare will be top)
DNS
Here's my final random list idea but might be a bit tricky to be precise. Which driver has caused the most damage financially or physically over
A race (1st DC at spa 98 and 2nd Maurício Gugelmin France 89 my guesses)
A season
Or career
Still the Ernts Loof has the shortest F1 career -- 3 meters (German GP 1953)
2:57 And Ericsson was around until 2018... Such a shame...
Funny one :P nice
Why did autosport change the thumbnail of the video?
Starting to watch. The driver I'll be pissed off if he isn't here is Leo Kinnunen. Last driver to use an open-face helmet, in 1974, four years after everybody had switched to full-head helmets, but incredibly, it wasn't in the rules yet.
Well, he isn't. Bah.
You forgot Argentinian's Miguel Ángel Guerra. He couldn't classificate the first 3 races of '81 with a Osella. He made it at 4th race in San Marino, but he crashed a few meters after green light. Even before Apicella.
Technically he'd already participated in 3 Grand Prix weekends before that one race. Apicella only did the '93 Italian Grand Prix. He didn't even try to qualify for another race.
10:28 is a legend. LOL
If you don't clock a 107% time you can get a DNQ.
Then if you make it to the grid regardless and stall the car at the green lights you add a DNS.
Then the car gets brought to the pits and by lap 30 when everybody is asleep already you sneak back on the track. Then you retire, get awarded a DNF and when everybody notices you also get a DSQ.
Yes, Romain, I'm talking to you. This is THE job for you.
I believe Leo Kinnunen should be on this list!
The puns were too good
Did Heyer ever go into what he was thinking when he jumped onto the grid?
Anyone come just for Winkelhock?
7:09 I wish we got views like that in races nowadays
I still cannot believe that Sarrazin's crash did not bring out the Safety Car!
please can you bring down the background music next time? it's hard to hear the words sometimes
1. Clay Regazzoni haven't had an accident with Riccardo Zunino, but had crashed into the latter's parked car which he retired earlier in that race
2. Jo Schlesser had an even worse fate by burning alive in his magnesium-bodied Honda in his sole race start. He participated in two more GPs at the Nordschleife in 1966 and '67, but they can't be counted as F1 race starts, because he entered them as an F2 participant so his results didn't count towards the official F1 classification
Radetzky and Strauss were Austrian, the Winkelhocks are from Swabia
JBL is autosport's best man
7:32 - Eddie Cheever!!!!
Very good video. It’s RAM as in male sheep not R A M though
OMG the PUNS in this one!!!!!11! Lol.
RIP Roland. #NeverForget

re monza 1988 - I think senna's car merely became stuck on a sausage kerb (with all 4 wheels off the ground) rather than "damage" putting him out - and for whatever reason he couldn't then rock one of the rear drive wheels onto the floor to get the car off the kerb.
re heyer - other drivers have started without permission too (having failed to qualify), however I assume they had more than one race? it did seem to be an issue at home grands prix of a driver - some would just start anyway.
re needell - I found the entire 1980 belgian gp online (with german commentary) and sent it to him via twitter in case he hadn't got a copy. he sent me a smiling emoji back! (his car isn't seen coming to a stop but he is seen walking away from it)
re that jordan driver at the 1993 italian gp - was the lap 1 accident his fault though? very unfortunate if it wasn't.
Sarrazin could have been something...
Sarrazin could have had a nice career. Shame Prost refused to give him to Minardi and then ditched him for pay drivers. Hell, he was faster than Zanardi in a Williams.
Modern qualifiers who are outside of the % margin are normally allowed to start the race (with the agreement of all the other teams). This isn't just 'a 70's thing'.
What's the piece called played in 3:40?
Moon Moon The piece is by Johann Strauss (Vater): Radetzky-Marsch. It is as important for Austrian identity as Rule Britannia for the British. It is performed every year as the closing piece of the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Day Concert, which is an event of national importance. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radetzky_March
czcams.com/video/lpo92JJYQX0/video.html
It's weird to think...if you only started one F1 grand prix, you're on track to be MUCH more famous than if you started two! (Because who is making video list rankings about all the two-time GP drivers? ;) ) Also, I know Caterham never went anywhere as a team, but I always loved their colors and their overall style!
Like Ricardo Paletti.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riccardo_Paletti
It’s kinda sad how good a lot of these guys did compared to their teammates only for them to not be given another chance
"as rare as a Monaco overtake" haha
Gonna be honest: When I saw that the last entry was a tragic one, the first person who came to my mind was Riccardo Paletti. I remember he had only 1 proper start on the grid while his only true other start was from the pits, which I'm not sure would have counted...
I definitely didn't see Roland Ratzenberger coming. Not knowing that much about Formula 1 honestly, I had figured Roland had run all the races up until Imola. Looks like my assumption was wrong...
Paletti started two races.
Ricardo Paletti.... poor guy! Lost his life at the start of his very first F1 race in 1982 in Canada when he crashed into the rear of the stranded Ferrari of Didier Pironi. Before that race Paletti never succeeded to qualify.
The saddest thing here is that Ratzenberger was killed in an accident on the same week Senna was killed. As a result, even his death was overshadowed, and mostly forgotten by all but the biggest F1 fans.
But I guess the thing this video shows is that being an F1 driver is harder than a lot of people think. There are a lot of F1 fans that have never studied the indepth technicalities of F1 driving, rather, thinking they could do it because they can drive a road car.
Watching Top Gear presenters Clarkson and Hammond try to drive a F1 car and literally struggle to complete a single lap shows just how hard these cars are to drive. Those two have driven every supercar there is on multiple race tracks and on the road and have way more high performance experience than the vast majority of people yet put them in an F1 car and they barely manage to get it out of the pit.
I’m sure Tiff Needel competed in an F1 non championship event at Brands.
can i have the instrumental at 5:12 plllssss 😢
Put auto generated captions on and go to 5:47. You're welcome 😂😂😂
*"prostitutes"*
Geez,YT. Got drunk again.
Mansell with beard is weird. Hey that kinda rhymed
RIP Roland.
song @3:42?
Mate, one thing please: in some parts voiceover is quieter than the background music 😬 Please, don't !
Heyer officially never started that race so also got a dns
Man I wish f1 today had a plethora of teams who wanted to qualify for the Sunday race.... but it wouldn’t be f1 without the glamour, the insane tech, the billionaires of f1 and the millionaire drivers and team bosses.
Back in the seventies and eighties any second hand car dealer or carpet salesman could buy a second hand car and a Cosworth engine and enter a F1 race. These days you need to pay a couple of hundred million dollars to the other teams just to be allowed to enter, and you have to design and build your own car from (mostly) scratch. Half a billion dollars is probably about the minimum you'd need.
Never forget Ratzenberger
Roland ❤
