When Usain Bolt was 1 year old, I could run 100m faster than him, therefore I am the fastest man that has ever lived.
Dafuq mannn😂
Illuminati confirmed
So every time he runs your 100m ahead?😂
He probably wouldve still been the fastest human tbh

Here’s another stupid chain I’ve come up with. Kvyat is better than Hamilton.
Kvyat > Ricciardo > Vettel > Webber > Rosberg > Schumacher > Barrichello > Button > Hamilton

Winkelhock >>>> Senna
Senna (in a Toleman) in 1984 Monaco GP needs around 25 laps from start 13th to get 2nd, and finished in 2nd to show the world he will be one of the greatest f1 driver.
Winkelhock (in a Spyker) in 2007 Nurnburgring GP just needs 2 laps from start 22nd to get 1st, then he retire from the GP and never race anymore in F1 because he realize F1 is too easy sport for him.

Berger beat Prost in 1991
Prost beat K. Rosberg in 1986
Rosberg beat Mario Andretti in 1982 (at Long Beach)

Hill beat Richie Ginther in 1962
Ginther beat Jose Froilan Gonzalez in 1961

Wasn't Heidfeld Kimis teammate in 01? And Heidfeld beat him
I love seeing the ones going into the history of F1
No need to go through Massa: Heidfeld beat kimi in 2001
Heidfeld beat all but one of his more accomplished teammates (and by that, I mean won at least one race) - Alesi, Räikkönen, Massa, Frentzen, Villeneuve and Kubica. The only race-winning teammate who beat him was Webber. It's pretty incredible to think Heidfeld never won a race or got a better seat.
@@wheresaldocanoe he would have been racing for longer but Bruno senna bought his way into lotus midway through the season
@@rhinoduck4918 Absolutely. Heidfeld would have comprehensively beaten Petrov had he not been shown the door. Petrov only outscored Heidfeld by 3 points, and he had 8 more races than Heidfeld got. Senna only got 2 points in those final 8 races of the season.
@@wheresaldocanoe
Actually Heidfeld beat Webber as well, as he missed the last 5 races in 2005, but in the 14 races before he scored 28 points and Webber 24

You need any explanation for that statement
You can’t put F2 results in there that’s cheating. But clearly Latifi is the GOAT.

It's all true
Hate to say this but nope doesn't even podium. Races led maybe at 100% but he only led 6 laps out of the 15 he completed 40%. Alberto Ascari 928 laps led out of 1691, 54.8% Jim Clark led 1943 laps in his career/3930 total laps completed for 49.4% Fangio led 1347/3037 or 44.4% Senna was 36% Hamilton 32.2% Schumacher 30.3% so is Vettel funnily enough, Prost around 27% and thats just the ones i checked :)
Then there is Indy = Bill Vukovich at an insane 71.7% including leading 4/5 world championship events also Lee Wallard at 47.3

Next episode : WTF1 apologise for the comparison video
Jk lol
for putting kimi at the worse side? YES
They should, it's one of the most stupid things I've ever seen. Sports is basically built on comparison, making arbitrary arguments doesn't make comparisons stupid, just shows that you are stupid
Agree
Get in there Mat
Lol! That was delightfully silly 😂 We need more silliness than ever atm. Keep it up!
So I'm better at Catalunya than Hamilton since I've never crashed there and he's crashed once.

My brain lost a 50% of mass watching it and I think that re-watch it again is not a good idea
Oh yeah I think I lost my last braincell watchingthis lol
Love your content WTF1, you inspired me to start my own youtube channel.
Thank you for motivation.
Hello love u wtf1 not literally just this is keeping me sain during lock down
The cars vary so much in performance and how they drive and teams change so much
Drivers are all different in their styles and some drivers don’t get the chance to get to top teams.
Unlike tennis or other sports where everyone has to just hit a ball and everyone is equal, F1 has so many factors that can affect how a driver is viewed and rated.
Lewis Samylton yes but, you see you have missed the crucial factor here. This is a joke...
I never would have guessed
It’s sooooo obvious that Maldonado is better than Senna, I saw all the top teams wanting to sign him and Maldonado crashed into all of his opponents ohh wait so did Senna😏
Senna in my opinion is 100% the GOAT of F1
I've never wanted to punch someone in the face more. Good video
It's a FACT.
*George Russell, 2019
This aged well... aws Stoooooop
This is the F1 best driver comparison ever everything makes sense now
They're like smarks of motorsport racing

Thinking about it, you could do this with literally any driver with a lengthy history. Thanks for the debate tip!
Transitivity: a relation between three (or more) elements such that if it holds between the first and second and it also holds between the second and third it must necessarily hold between the first and third.
Kvyat beat ric who beat seb who beat webber who beat rosberg who beat lewis
Ah, wasted opportunity. Really wanted to show this vid to my mate, who loves such comparisons (done in a more serious manner), but you blew it with Trulli versus Trulli part 😔
Honestly I thought you were going to say that Maldonado was better then Senna bc Senna almost always had a ‘fighting for wins’ car but Maldonado won a race convincingly in a mid-pack Williams.
Biggest fluke in history
Thank god you paid attention to this... It was getting out of hands even F1 is nuts who compares everyone in the lockdown session... Good one WTF1👍👍
OK, he's lost his mind!
Well Kimi is better than just his " Bwoahs "
Yep. His last year at Ferrari he was on the podium as much as Vettel was. I still think Ferrari should have kept him another year, and let Charles stay at Alpha another year.
Mansell made the pole in 1994 in Australia.
He was better than Schumacher and Damon Hill and he survived a car that killed Senna.
And he won that race :D

Messi, Federer and Senna are the GOAT
Ronaldo (Christiano), Federer, and Prost are the GOAT. At least we agree on something?

Never knew that Trulli was Kobe Bryant all this time 😧
Vitaly Petrov was better than Fangio. The great Argentinian was beaten in 1950 by the first world champion ever, Giuseppe Farina, who in 1955 was beaten by his Ferrari teammate Maurice Trintignant. The Frenchman himself was bested in the French Grand Prix of 1963 by his teammate Chris Amon. He raced in F1 in 1968 for Ferrari and finished behind teammate Jacky Ickx in the championship, who, in his final season in F1 (1979) lost out to Jacques Laffite. The Frenchman lost out to Keke Rosberg in the 1984 championship, when they were both racing for Williams. However, in the 1983 European Grand Prix, Keke’s one-off teammate Jonathan Palmer finished 13th, whereas Keke didn’t finish at all; A comprehensive victory in my opinion. Palmer was beaten by Jean Alesi in 1989 when they both raced for Tyrell. Jarno Trulli finished ahead of Alesi on points in the final three races, when they both drove for Jordan. Trulli was bested by Heikki Kovalainen in 2010, racing for the Lotus Team. The finish driver would finish behind the great Vitaly Petrov in the 2012 driver’s world championship. And that is how the Russian driver Vitaly Petrov is better than a five-times world champion. I am correct.
Ayrton Senna: if you think I'm good, wait for my nephew Bruno
Pastor Maldonado: *coffin dance meme plays
I always knew Teo Fabi was a racing god! His 3rd place finish at Detroit in 1984 proved it as he beat out Senna, Lauda, Prost, Rosberg, Mansell, Warwick, Cheever, Patrese, Windlehock, and Alboreto to name a few. As a 1 year old I was a racing savant to determine the winners.
I absolutely loved this! Super entertaining
also matt: compares vettel and leclerc without factoring mechanical issues and team environment
You make the comparison so much sense
"A whopping 17th" I laughed so hard you're awesome :D
I waited til the end of the Michael vs Ralf piece, because weirdly, there was a piece on ITV's F1 show before Michael managed the 5 back-to-back titles, where Michael himself said Pre-F1 Ralf was the better/faster driver than Pre-F1 Michael
As I'm a similar age to Tommy, I thought this might have come up
A famous American football coach was quoted as saying
“You are what your record says you are.”
Love your vids
It was all settled when Eddie Irvine said he was the second best driver in the grid. Since he was the second driver of his team with most points in the championship at this moment, it was clear that the best pilot in the grid was Pedro De la Rosa
I Love the funny twist on the topic.
But it still shows that there are to many factors in f1 to make any working comparisons between drivers.
It's a deliberate hyperbole that doesn't really prove anything. Yeah, comparisions can be stupid, but not all of them are like that.
That was really funny. Thanks for that!
I spent way too long on this, but here we go. Proof that the best F1 driver has never started a Grand Prix:
Ghiotto beat Robert Merhi in F2 as teammates in 2018.
Merhi beat Stevens in F1.
Stevens as we know is better than Raikkonen. The rest goes as follows:
Raikkonen is better than Coulthard who is better than Hakkinen who is better than Mansell who is better than Piquet who is better than M.Schumacher who is better than Patrese who is better than Piquet (yep, he is here twice), and Piquet is better than Mansell (he back too) who is better than de Angelis who is better than Andretti who is better than Peterson who is better than Ickx who is better than Brabham who is better than Moss who is better than Trintignant who is better than Farina who is better than Fangio.
Phew!
Simple as that!

This is like playing competitive 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. I love it
2:08 fernando: who is this caterham.
Engineer: A lot to learn 😀
Do 'the next ......' as sometimes you get on Football Manager but with the current grid. e.g. (my opinion) but 'The next Button' = Russell, 'The Next Schumacher' is Verstappen, 'The Next Fangio' is Hamilton and 'The Next Coulthard' is Bottas
I expected only complete circles. You restrained your self well.
This video is the complete and final proof that, in the end, all drivers are actually equal, and therefore any discrepancies in the final points standings are a product of a deranged mind.
This was really confusing this was like some random guy coming from the 2100 F1 season and telling me who is driving in what car and which teams are still racing
You could have left Massa out of the Stevens vs Raikkonen one. Heidfeld and Raikkonen were teammates at Sauber in 2001, and Quick Nick finished higher in the standings
Believe it or not I was actually waiting for someone to do a video about this 🤣
Thnx WTF1 for giving me a list i didnt know i needed in my life, but i definitely needed... in my life... lol
Between them, Mahaveer Raghunathan, Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel have 18 world championships, 225 pole positions and 242 race wins.
On the Kimi one, Kimi and Heidfeld were teammates in 2001, with Heidfeld coming out on top. No need for the Massa link.
I knew the Senna one long ago, Thanks you brought it up!
God this reminds me of American football where they come out with some “impressive” sounding statistic every game but it’s always so convoluted. “This is the first time in 50 years that both teams have both scored 3 times while wearing 3 separate colours on a Monday”
Even in the same car isn't straightforward considering teammates are at different points in their careers at different ages and levels of experience and motivation etc
How long you've been in quarantine?
