Can we be really clear here? Leclerc did not "almost kill Hamilton" - even if, on video, a piece of Leclerc's car flew up and hit Hamilton's halo or mirror. The race director failed to order a mechanical flag be shown to Leclerc, and the team made the choice to stay out because the car's performance was sufficient to continue. Neither of these decisions are on Leclerc. The title should be changed.

In a timely manner, before the end of the race. And if that’s too much then shave down/ simplify the rule book so it’s easier to police.

Red Bull were slower than their rivals on several occassions in the last years. The difference is that Max is simply a way better driver than Hamilton and that RB are way better operationally than Mercedes ever was at any point of their 8 year dominance. Stop coping.

Checo is plenty slow in some races in the dominating team's car. Max is the actual best driver in the actual best car... that is the rarity in this current era.
Dont get how he wasnt disqualified when his mirror wasnt even on the car anymore? he could never have safely defended without knowing whats happening behind him

I love your channel and this video is, as always, top notch, but I dont know how I feel about the use of "almost killed Lewis".. Although there is no doubt to how bad this could have been, and it was a possibility, it almost feels like using it to get people to click on the video. I have no problem with that on its own, but I just dont know how I feel with this specific wording being in the title. Just a very bad scenario to imagine and I dont think that stuff should be used in that way. Maybe "Lewis narrowly avoids dangerous debris"? Its also avoids people thinking Leclerc tried to murder Lewis or something.
Felipe Massa literally survived getting struck directly in the head with a heavy spring at high speed. So, I believe Hamilton would've survived some light weight carbon fiber. But still...
F1 drivers are just incredible human beings! they can drive at 300km/h with one hand, and the reaction by Lewis to evade debris flying off.. wow. just wow.
"If it had flown to the center the outcome would have been worse" No, it would have hit the center of the halo. Hamilton was not "almost killed" by Leclerc.
endplates are sharp it would've been a Massa type event, and there's a large gap just beside each centre i think the better world would've been "more central" as in closer to the cockpit area rather than directly in the middle, i don't think that's what they meant, they didn't mean directly in the middle but closer to the cockpit meaning it could enter the gap. Almost killed is also subjective, a large piece of sharp carbon like that is going to knock you out, and being knockout approaching 130R is like a Massa crash but at top speed in the same corner bianchi crashed, granted no service vehicle, but not a good time anyway edit: sorry bianchi crashed at dunlop curve, forgot, i haven't really bared to watch or read much about that crash since i witnessed it live, tragic event
@@BayernSupremacy_ Drove with a dangerous car that's falling apart and asking to stay out with such dangerous car, did you see the video? Only cared about himself, didn't matter if he literally kills someone
0:27 I believe Bottas got such a good start, because he reacted to Vettels small jump start and his reaction time delay happened to line up perfectly with the lights out.
Nice jump start. Oh, I remember this, on the back straight? He was kept out multiple laps with a broken mirror and it flew off. Should definitely had the team fined or penalized severely (not a grid or time but point deduction)
Lewis’ dodge on the back straight was pure class alongside leclerc sending it full speed through 130R with one hand reaching across on the wing mirror. Both incredibly impressive stuff.
Helmets nowadays are built to survive hits by debris or gravel stones at racing speed. Otherwise, it would be a bloodbath... I remember Ocon's (?) hand being hit by a gravel stone. Didn't cost him a finger either. That's like saying an asteroid narrowly missed earth... by a million kilometers.
It was unbelievable the stewards allowed Leclerc to race with that car. Not only Hamilton had to dodge debris, Norris as well (he even had to pit to have some debris removed). This could easily have ended differently, had Hamilton reacted slower, although the halo may have rescued him anyway. The craziest thing about the Leclerc inchident was that he hit Verstappen's car with his mirror as well.
I wish F1 would put the Aeroscreen around the Halo soon before any of these parts hit a driver, but knowing F1 they will wait for something bad to happen first to take action, luckily Indycar has already been using the Aeroscreen for a few years and this means that by the time F1 wants to use the Aeroscreen the problems with heating and visibility will probably already be solved.
@0:40 there is also something razor sharp flying towards Hamilton and maybe there was a car behind Hamilton, too. It is striking that in the last 2 years, almost nobody was called into the pit by the stewards for a damaged car except Magnussen.
It's not reliable to intentionally take out someone in a aero dependent open-wheeler. Racing drivers have a tendency to "ride out mistakes" because they cling on to the hope that the mistake resolves itself. Unfortunately doing that just leads to more mistakes, like understeering into another car. Stewarts are usually a lot more lenient when it comes to T1 incidents so they probably were debating on how and when to penalize Leclerc and the fact that they did so only at the end of the race doesn't mean that they weren't planning to. Although F1 race control has proven ass more often than not, so I won't bet any money on that. Unfortunately you can't prevent the injustice of the driver responsible for a crash being able to finish unimpaired while their victim is forced to retire. It's just a part of motorsports. About the damage; ultimately Leclerc only does what his race engineer tells him to do. If Ferrari tells him to pit, he will. If they tell him to stay out, he will. There also is only a limited amount of information Leclerc has on the extend of his damage. He can ask his pitbox "What's/How's the damage", to which they'll respond with "Endplate damage". That can mean that there is no more endplate, or it's hanging on by a thread. What he can see, and obviously acknowledged is his wing mirror. As a racer, I would be frustrated having to pit and drop out of contention, only for the only feasible repair being someone yanking off my wing mirror. Imo instead of holding it, I would probably have tried to rip it off myself. But the leverage probably wasn't there considering the seating position. I agree there should've probably been a meatball flag thrown. However I don't think that piece of carbon fiber threatened Hamilton's life. When drivers are killed or injured by debris it's usually small dense metal parts or wheels. I'd of course not want to risk it.
Leclerc did lose his mirror. So that car was definitely NOT up to FIA technical regulations after lap 8. And bits were flying off that car as well, so it definitely wasn't safe either, as we saw with Hamilton's POV. So that car definitely should've gotten disqualified.
If anyone is having any doubts about that endplate...A composite piece of carbon fiber cured with an epoxy resin and maybe some aramids mixed in there....Carbon fiber shards are already bad enough to cut yourself and can puncture skin....Add momentum from a car going 300 km/h and it could have been a bad enough hit, especially if it hit the visor part.
Hey bro, can you record comparison of AMR23 last year at Suzuka here, and AMR24 ? Because that almost 2 SECONDS difference is....fucking huge haha, AMR23 - 1.30.4 time in Q2, AMR24 - 1.28.6 in Q3
Yeah that was very dangerous for them to let Leclerc go around with those bromen pieces... but at 2:17 it's the most impressive thing I can remember I saw doing by an F1 driver! + We saw the fastest F1 start in history made by Bottas! 2:20 why the Monaco voice line?
That's the most impressive thing you saw from an F1 driver?, Hamilton in this clip dodged two pieces of debries at 300 km/h, this still may not even be the most impressive thing done by an F1 driver, but it's more shocking than holding a mirror at 300 km/h
Leclerc was holding his left mirror, his endplate broke off Lewis' right mirror and then Leclerc's mirror flew off it was not a good day for mirrors - specifically Charles' - apparently
Here causing a collison cost Leclerc 5 seconds. But Alonso got 20 for Russels incident in Australia 2024. Too many times the brits always benefit from the stewards.
15s for intentionally driving without a mirror and front wing endplate seems way to low imo, especially considering how dangerously the debris came off the car.
Actually Leclerc refused to pit and all the debris was coming off his car and flying on to Lewis for a number of laps. I think Leclerc went into a rage zone, but we know the Fia does Lewis bad. This, 2021, new rules to take away late braking etc etc.
@@DavidJohnson-dc8lu I think that's more of a Mercedes problem than a FIA 2022 regs problem. The reason why the Mercedes is poor for late braking is due to Mercedes' rear stability issues. The technical regulations are fine. Just the race stewards who have made some questionable decisions in 2021-2022. That said, the 2022 regs have been VERY MUCH in favor of Adrian Newey and Red Bull. The regs were practically tailored to Newey's strengths.
2:36 - 2:45 : yup, you're pretty spot-on here! This is probably one of the major flaws/limitations of the Halo, in my opinion. Which is why I think Indycar's Aeroscreen is a much safer system, in that regard.
It was insane how this lap 1 crash didn't immediately result in a penalty. It is even more insane it was only a 5 second time penalty that was given after the race was already over, That penalty didn't even affect the outcome. Even the most die hard Leclerc fan who looks at that will surely admit that this is definitely a penalty. This shit from the stewards just smells like corruption.
That title is simply wrong. He didn't almost k'll anyone. K'lling someone is an active act and he didn't do anything actively there for the part of his car to break off and hit Hamilton.
Bottas keeps having trouble closing the door: czcams.com/video/F1qDWalnzBA/video.html

I remember Ocon's (?) hand being hit by a gravel stone. Didn't cost him a finger either.
That's like saying an asteroid narrowly missed earth... by a million kilometers.
You cant be sure saying that, the helmets are stronger after the Massa incident, and the halo would also slowing the part down probably.
It was unbelievable the stewards allowed Leclerc to race with that car. Not only Hamilton had to dodge debris, Norris as well (he even had to pit to have some debris removed). This could easily have ended differently, had Hamilton reacted slower, although the halo may have rescued him anyway. The craziest thing about the Leclerc inchident was that he hit Verstappen's car with his mirror as well.
It's almost ridiculous that Lewis reacted at this speed to something a human could not even see. :)
He saw it and he is human so I think a human can see it
You know it's slowmo? 🙂😶🌫️
@@TimTaylor99 Obviously it’s in slow-motion, that doesn’t change anything
In the old days this all summed up would easily be a *race ban* ...
Bottas reacting to Vettel's jump start and getting the start of a lifetime lmao
Wait so thats how Bottas got that superb launch. He saw Vettel jump the start and just so happened to go right as the lights went out!
This year Ferrari had that monster engine (that turns out to be ilegal).
I wish F1 would put the Aeroscreen around the Halo soon before any of these parts hit a driver, but knowing F1 they will wait for something bad to happen first to take action, luckily Indycar has already been using the Aeroscreen for a few years and this means that by the time F1 wants to use the Aeroscreen the problems with heating and visibility will probably already be solved.
They actually tested a couple of rather cool aeroscreen concepts but they went with the metal sandal instead... typical
@0:40 there is also something razor sharp flying towards Hamilton and maybe there was a car behind Hamilton, too. It is striking that in the last 2 years, almost nobody was called into the pit by the stewards for a damaged car except Magnussen.
Nice investigation and video.
It's not reliable to intentionally take out someone in a aero dependent open-wheeler. Racing drivers have a tendency to "ride out mistakes" because they cling on to the hope that the mistake resolves itself. Unfortunately doing that just leads to more mistakes, like understeering into another car. Stewarts are usually a lot more lenient when it comes to T1 incidents so they probably were debating on how and when to penalize Leclerc and the fact that they did so only at the end of the race doesn't mean that they weren't planning to. Although F1 race control has proven ass more often than not, so I won't bet any money on that. Unfortunately you can't prevent the injustice of the driver responsible for a crash being able to finish unimpaired while their victim is forced to retire. It's just a part of motorsports. About the damage; ultimately Leclerc only does what his race engineer tells him to do. If Ferrari tells him to pit, he will. If they tell him to stay out, he will.
There also is only a limited amount of information Leclerc has on the extend of his damage. He can ask his pitbox "What's/How's the damage", to which they'll respond with "Endplate damage". That can mean that there is no more endplate, or it's hanging on by a thread. What he can see, and obviously acknowledged is his wing mirror. As a racer, I would be frustrated having to pit and drop out of contention, only for the only feasible repair being someone yanking off my wing mirror. Imo instead of holding it, I would probably have tried to rip it off myself. But the leverage probably wasn't there considering the seating position. I agree there should've probably been a meatball flag thrown. However I don't think that piece of carbon fiber threatened Hamilton's life. When drivers are killed or injured by debris it's usually small dense metal parts or wheels. I'd of course not want to risk it.
Leclerc did lose his mirror. So that car was definitely NOT up to FIA technical regulations after lap 8. And bits were flying off that car as well, so it definitely wasn't safe either, as we saw with Hamilton's POV. So that car definitely should've gotten disqualified.
Crazy how leclerc did that corner with one hand only
If anyone is having any doubts about that endplate...A composite piece of carbon fiber cured with an epoxy resin and maybe some aramids mixed in there....Carbon fiber shards are already bad enough to cut yourself and can puncture skin....Add momentum from a car going 300 km/h and it could have been a bad enough hit, especially if it hit the visor part.
bro why did U delete the video of the alonso brake check
It was blocked.
@@yelistener bruh rip, why?
If I don't have mirrors, no one will
Hey bro, can you record comparison of AMR23 last year at Suzuka here, and AMR24 ? Because that almost 2 SECONDS difference is....fucking huge haha, AMR23 - 1.30.4 time in Q2, AMR24 - 1.28.6 in Q3
Am I seeing things or did two cars actually jump the start?
the dirty air of the past was insane wow
Imagine something hitting you at 302km/h speed
Holding the mirror doing 300kph through the turn flat out lol.
Yeah that was very dangerous for them to let Leclerc go around with those bromen pieces... but at 2:17 it's the most impressive thing I can remember I saw doing by an F1 driver!
+ We saw the fastest F1 start in history made by Bottas!
2:20 why the Monaco voice line?
That's the most impressive thing you saw from an F1 driver?, Hamilton in this clip dodged two pieces of debries at 300 km/h, this still may not even be the most impressive thing done by an F1 driver, but it's more shocking than holding a mirror at 300 km/h
I remember staying up til 3:00 AM to watch this one live. I'll probably do the same this weekend.
Leclerc was holding his left mirror, his endplate broke off Lewis' right mirror and then Leclerc's mirror flew off
it was not a good day for mirrors - specifically Charles' - apparently
The fact that Lewis could even react to the debris at that speed is crazy
That really was incredible reaction time by Lewis.
It's a shame we didn't race at this track in 2020 (understandable) and 2021 😭
Think how wired Lewis must be to react that quickly to the debris
Here causing a collison cost Leclerc 5 seconds. But Alonso got 20 for Russels incident in Australia 2024. Too many times the brits always benefit from the stewards.
@@Yes-vh7lm Yes, and the example I gave shows the Brit Russel making the Spanish Alonso getting a worse penalty.
Damn, The Hamilton and Leclerc moment was similar to Barrichello and Massa 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix.
How the fuck did he dodge that
Just as all other drivers so in F1, they are trained for it
15s for intentionally driving without a mirror and front wing endplate seems way to low imo, especially considering how dangerously the debris came off the car.
Actually Leclerc refused to pit and all the debris was coming off his car and flying on to Lewis for a number of laps. I think Leclerc went into a rage zone, but we know the Fia does Lewis bad. This, 2021, new rules to take away late braking etc etc.
I'm a Lewis fan, but please stop saying that everything is anti-Hamilton. Sure the FIA has been biased against him, but not everything lmao.
@@gauravmalltarlok5354 2021 and the 2022 rules designed to destroy late braking, is ANTI-HAMILTON.
@@DavidJohnson-dc8lu I think that's more of a Mercedes problem than a FIA 2022 regs problem. The reason why the Mercedes is poor for late braking is due to Mercedes' rear stability issues. The technical regulations are fine. Just the race stewards who have made some questionable decisions in 2021-2022.
That said, the 2022 regs have been VERY MUCH in favor of Adrian Newey and Red Bull. The regs were practically tailored to Newey's strengths.
2:36 - 2:45 : yup, you're pretty spot-on here! This is probably one of the major flaws/limitations of the Halo, in my opinion. Which is why I think Indycar's Aeroscreen is a much safer system, in that regard.
They have halo AND HELMET AND SUIT…. Remember
That debris can never kill on impact, however it's dangerous.
Helmet safety is a lot better since Massa's incident so I seriously doubt a piece of endplate would kill anyone.
Title should really be the FIA almost killed Hamilton by not waving the black and orange flags ever (unless you're Haas)
That is insane, never knew that it flew off and hit Lewis.
It was insane how this lap 1 crash didn't immediately result in a penalty. It is even more insane it was only a 5 second time penalty that was given after the race was already over, That penalty didn't even affect the outcome.
Even the most die hard Leclerc fan who looks at that will surely admit that this is definitely a penalty.
This shit from the stewards just smells like corruption.
Bro the ferrari on the left had almost a false start
That title is simply wrong. He didn't almost k'll anyone. K'lling someone is an active act and he didn't do anything actively there for the part of his car to break off and hit Hamilton.
Instead of "almost killed", that title should say the debris "almost hit" Hamilton.
Did you not notice the halo?
if I remember well, he did get a black and orange flag just before getting in the stands (way too late tho, indeed)
