I’m hoping he comes back with a huge Verstappen vs Hamilton Documentary.
That would be sick honestly
I just hope he comes back in general :/ his voice, knowledge, and video length made this my fav channel to learn f1 stuff at one point. Since im a drive to survive baby i rely pretty heavily on these f1 youtubers and he was doing it the best imo.
I hope that you're ok man. No videos in months, *WOW*
Why there isnt any new videos in this channel? Is everything ok with him?
@@Icy_Cream94 he’s still active on Twitter. I don’t use Twitter so I haven’t checked to see if he has addressed his absence at all.
As someone once told me, the three races of Motorsports triple crown represent three things: Speed (Indianapolis) Endurance (Le Mans) and finess (Monaco).
bullshit (monaco)
@@andredeketeleastutecomplex no
Damn... I never looked at it that way
@@redbadger2656 Me neither, but true
that that's literally my next video haha why precision translates SO well. it literally drives your ability to be fast and manage your car. but the same isn't true reverse. you can be fast as shit and not properly manage deg etc.
Nick you're so cool
What's up Tommo.
Tom looks like Minton hacked your account again..
Nick+Tommo collab when?
Nicks sik
Random man
This 4 month dry spell has me itching for whenever your next master piece will drop
Came to see if you had done anything on the 2021 season and you haven't uploaded in 6 months :O Hope everything is alright you are my fave F1 channel love your stuff hope you come back soon
Ngl while the races are underwhelming(imo), quali at Monaco for me is the greatest quali session of the season. It's so exciting to see drivers push to their limits just to nail the perfect lap. The battle for pole yesterday was so exciting.
exactly. the one thing people do miss is quali dictates the race. more needs to be talked about as it relates to used vs new tyres and the value is nailing saturday. it's important now that we have spec sets. the leaders don't change but the midfield floats around
How about Baku, better quali than monaco, better racing (much better).
@@CYMotorsport now the tyres are not spec??
DUDE WHERE ARE YOU??? WE miss your content, even the 2021 championship is already over :(
Mate it's been months. Craziest season I've been alive for. Where are you?
I miss your videos.. hope you do well! 🙏🏼
Bro, where you? Waiting desperately for you to drop new f1 content 😭😭😭😭
Waiting for new videos , maybe you're preparing masterpiece video
as a newbie fan it totally blows my mind that the cars reach 270+kmh on regular city streets
its wild how they construct it too
You should see the comparison to when it doesn't have the track setup on it. It's even crazier to see it on a regular busy day.
Watch isle of man, where madmen race in a suicidal pace
@@sepg5084 Isle of Man will be my first feature documentary outside f1 either here or on Motorsport tv. It’s going to be epic bc I’ve finally secured rights to footage. First time actually publicly typing that shit man that feels good
@@CYMotorsport looking forward to seeing it
Just like to say your content is absolute gold! You have single handedly got me back into the sport after about 8years absence... Thank you please keep making this brilliant content!
I miss hearing your voice and seeing your videos!! Looking forward to hear your take on the 2021 season when you get the chance
@CYMotorsport, I hope you’re well mate. Your videos are entertaining, informative, and well thought out. We look forward to your next drop. Cheers
Monaco is definitely another example of how F1 was originally built for drivers, rather than passionate fans. Monaco is prestigious for the extra challenge it puts on the drivers, rather than the ability to race side by side. It’s that which makes it so significant.
Nah! You're just excusing the fact that monaco race is BS. Originally built for driver my ass! There are tons of earlier track than monaco and all of those still giving good racing. And the "not for fans" bs you giving oh my god how wrong you are. Monaco is all about fans. Spectacle, the status (ppl coming to flex that they rich enough to watch monaco gp), the celebs who know shit about f1, etc all of these are what monaco all about. Glitz and glamour over racing
@@ozamatazbuckshank7467 he's right though, all drivers love monaco and say how exciting and gruesome it is so it comes from the drivers perspective.
Monaco was designed when cars were literally less than half the size than they are now.
@@ozamatazbuckshank7467 this is his point lol. You don’t like it because YOURE A FAN. You’re not a real driver
Rich fans
Altough the racing at Monaco is boring, i'm never bored whilst watching it...
I think the backdrop and the mystique surrounding the whole idea of racing around the narrow streets of one of the highest concentrations of wealth on the planet thats remained the same for decades upon decades is overlooked. No other circuit is as risky either, the barriers make it exciting as well considering these guys are going 185 mph while millimeters from a solid barrier for the entire race is enthralling in it's own right and it's worth watching for that highest of skill levels arguably more so than any other race. I love the Monaco GP, favorite race of the calendar by far.
How to describe Monaco GP in single sentence?
"No where the risks are greater, no where the reward is sweeter."
You probably mean "Nowhere the boredom is greater".
I see me!! Loved it thanks for having me onnnn
You're a jewel in this community, man. You've brought together all of the greats, no politics. Keep on with the quality!
Agreed, we're truly blessed by each upload
Mssing your videos man I hope everything is good on your end
Such a pleasure to feature on one of your videos! Thanks Nick :)
Yo CYF1, where are you? It’s been a belter of an year for F1 and hardly seen you make videos? Hope all’s well and we see you back soon.
Hi bro, please make a video on season finale
i love this channel man, your videos are an absolute joy to watch. such good quality 💯
We miss you! Your videos are on another level.
As an American F1 fan, I'm so glad to have you around. Great content and nice to have a familiar sound with my F1. Great content dude. And I really appreciate how you come with facts and don't put your own narrative on things, like some F1 channels do.
Loved that multi commentators montage!!!
i actually started with that idea and worked into the video concept haha i just really wanted to play with that idea.
@@CYMotorsport i think its a cool way to collab and introduce some new channels to the audience. Good that you executed your idea!
Bravo!! This is an amazing video. 🙌🏽
Fantastic analysis and a superb point on the impression of overtaking, especially when a car makes it back through the field from last
We need a Verstappen vs Hamilton war documentary I really miss your content
Loved all the other youtubers in this vid!
Where you at my man ? Really missing the insights you could generate from the data.
Monaco is not a bad track and it doesn’t deserve the hate it does. The cars are too wide for the king Monaco.
Yeah, but even with a smaller car it's almost impossible
@@ml8022 You should take a look at this year's e-prix. The action was insance.
@@aaronaaronsen3360 Im not really a fan of electrical cars. But now we have De Vries and Frijns at the top in the championship, so i try to watch it more
We miss you!
You've changed my perspective CY ,thank you
You have an incredible voiceover voice.
@CYmotorsports hearing you describe the racing at Monaco was like listening to poetry. Great vid man, please keep it coming.
Before watching the video: for Monaco they should race some insane go karts
Great video bro. Love it
It's funny that the first time I've ever known that this track existed was playing on it on Gran Turismo 3 when I was a kid (In the game it's called Cote d Azur for some reason.) Thanks for a rather enlightening video on how this course is so prestigious. You've just earned yourself a new sub!
This video had an interesting take on Monaco. Thank you.
i know we are gonna get an insane video over this lewis max chip battle
Ayo where you gone?
Where have you gone Nick? :( We miss your videos! This is a banging video btw much love
Excellent video man!!!!
The Weeknd is back 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Looool
😂😂😂
like 10 damn videos I'm cooking. After Indy, I can finally wrap on the one I got to work with andretti on then FOCA (absolute monster of a story haha I went all out writing) then Niki vs Hunt. Bought the rights to great footage and his wreck so I don't get sued as i know it's kinda hard to find. anyways, you didnt ask but there ya go haha
@@CYMotorsport You have quite a menu planned out!

YES!!!
Can't even call Monaco a GP anymore. The Monaco Parade would be a more suitable name.
Or The Annual Monagasque F1 Car Parade.
Yes, so much yes
Yes, many years ago.
Great video!
This is the first video I've seen on this channel and the production value is fantastic. Was visually interesting throughout and not a bunch of watching a dude talk. Subscribed. Saw this on my TV and pulled out the computer to say this.
Brilliant video. You are a real fan of Motorsport in all its diversity.
I've always loved how strategies dictate the order at chequered flag on sunday and that has always been exciting for me personally
Your analysis of F1 is so well thought out- it’s almost poetic
This dude voice is golden I can listen to his narration all day without watching the video
Thanks for mentioning tracklist in description mate
Yankee hope you good. Miss your take on F1 this season
One of the most under appreciated f1 youtuber a out there. When I’m bored I. Turn on your f1 wars. It’s my go to. That’s supposed to sound like a compliment
We need a new video from you man
Bro where did you go :/
I love Spa so much! It would have been great to see a video about this racing track one day!
I'm glad someone has done a video like this, as a lot of newer fans really seem to have something against it because of race day which I can understand. But being a fan of F1 for as long as I have I have grown to love the weekend at Monaco as you really get to see these amazing drivers pushed to the max in qualifying and also in the race although admittedly not as much. there really is no other track like it. Some of the greatest examples of defensive driving come from the sunday at monaco and it really is amazing to watch when it happens.
Great video, I love the content :)
The new fans hate Monaco and rightfully so. What you describe sounds more like Stockholm syndrome but with a race track.
@@Meltorizor Not really, I genuinely enjoy monaco. Drive to survive fans can suck it up, just because there arent 60 crashes in the race doesnt mean its boring.
@@NailBombEnjoyer I don't even know what that is and I still hate Monaco GP not because there are no crashes but because the track is utter shit, violating FIA track rules which apply to all other tracks, boring as fuck and also very dangerous as every crashed car will definitely end up directly on the "race" track. test of skill my ass, only true for the 1 lap time trial called qualifying. in the race, just drive in the middle and nobody can overtake you anyway, no matter how much skill they have.
@@Meltorizor okay
Fantastic video. You smashed it out of the ball park
Can you do a video on your opinions on Monaco's place in the championship? For me it's my favorite of the year...
@@oftengone I can tell you right now: it's a great place full of history. Its tight confines demand precision, particularly in qualifying and great drivers like Senna, Schumi, Graham Hill, Alonso etc have won it. And there's a lot of great architecture nearby. Thank you for watching my video son
The cars have, the track is just too narrow :( but today’s race had some highlights
its def too narrow. this was a lot longer where I really was fairly convincing with overtaking arguments I just couldn't justify another hundred hours editing the written arguments. I'll def return to this. monacohas never known a better shill
It might become easier once the 2022 ruleset arrives and ground effect use is reallowed.
Could you make a detailed explanation about how attacking and defending works and some effective tactics?
Attacking: Don't hit the wall. Defending: Don't hit the wall. Chequered Flag.
Can you make a video on- which team/driver is going to do better in the upcoming tracks and the resons for it, like tyre warm-up and historical performances etc.
Nice work @CYMotorsport
Overtaking or not, its precisely why many love this race: high stakes, requires extreme aggression yet finesse, a cool head under pressure, and mistakes are punished - heavily... kind of like playing at the big boy's table at the Casino de Monte Carlo.
idk how you don't have a million plus subscribers, u should !
YESSSS my favorite CZcams channel uploaded!
I fell in love with Monaco all over when you summed it up. It's not an overtaker, it's a test of skill.
parade skill mostly
@@andredeketeleastutecomplex fool
drivers love monaco. enough said haha drivers dont just like random tracks. they are pure racers. as a fan, it's probably a good thing to appreciate the precision the drivers love to test themselves on. people underestimate the difficult it takes to drive the car. hitting the apex pefectly, managing throttle application and grip etc none of those things is really relevant to another car. overtakes make things even more but it's plenty enjoyable looking at the battles by itself.
@@CYMotorsport There is so much to appreciate in F1 besides your favorite winning. 20 years ago a boring race to me was no Schumi P1. I was away from the sport for a decade due to access to broadcast and came back late 2019. Let's just say the state of Ferrari for the last year or so have taught me to appreciate racecraft, engineering, precision, tatctics and all of what makes F1 special. It's not always thrilling, but there is always something to appreciate, admire and learn.
Not every overtake is perceived to be interesting (because many other racing factors are subconsiously factored in), you’re right about that. But I don’t believe that means “lack of overtaking opportunities” isn’t a fair argument anymore.
Most overtakes in general have the cars in question at some sort of pace imbalance, currently mostly tires. But a race with 90% “predictable” overtakes and 10% “non-predictable” overtakes > a race with 100% no overtakes.
Monaco Qualifying is mesmerizing in a way. But the monaco race isn’t a good race to watch
and maybe quali will be enough. if you think about it... there's an inverse relationship with importance of quali and overtaking opportunities.
@@CYMotorsport that's true, but importance of qualifying and enjoyability of qualifying don't necessarily correlate. Monaco has "bad race" as prerequisite (but usually has good qualifying), but tracks with good racing don't have "bad quali" as prerequisite.
@@zephyrod7307 you say that cavalierly. You seem to have a somewhat prescriptive approach when judghing monaco bc it suits your point. but when you say "bad'' qualifying, all of sudden you get a bit loosey goosey. what makes qualifying bad? notice, you didn't even explain what makes monaco good. thus, by definition you're not equipped to actually speak on any of this given what you've laid out. you haven't said THE most important part: how MUCH better is monaco qualifying than others? how MUCH worse is monaco as a race. without that, you're sticking your finger in the air. you don't need to answer haha but if you were trying to convince me, I'm too methodical to guess without establishing truths. it's a fun thought experiment for sure. I dont know the answers either but even anecdotally, it actually makes monaco sound better as I say that
@@CYMotorsport I gave a bit of a loose answer because I was more outlining a concept than explaining it in depth (the lack of correlation between importance and enjoyability of qualifying).
What makes both qualifying and race good or bad is a very subjective question. After all, there are some people out there who do actually like Monaco races (not just qualifying). But as a general sentiment a good race seems to be one where cars have the ability to fight each other on track, based on community sentiment and the governing body heavily investing into allowing cars to follow each other more easily with the 2022 regulations to generate more wheel to wheel combat. Unpredictability of the outcome of the race also seems to be a factor in enjoyment, hence 2010 and 2012 being regarded as some of the best seasons in recent F1. I'd have to dig deeper into numbers that I haven't quite dug into to assess the second criteria (unpredictability), but Monaco has a reputation of being won by a front row man. Again, don't have the statistics on that, which is why I'm not basing my point on this one. The first criteria however is different. Wheel to wheel racing in Monaco, how much of that have we gotten? Mick overtook Mazepin, and later was passed because of fuel pressure issues. Vettel had a genuine wheel to wheel battle with Gasly so that was cool, but that was it.
In my experience, people generally seem to attribute "good qualifying" to two main factors (I might be missing something, but those 2 factors seem rather valid): Unpredictability, and how much they enjoy individual cars driving on that track (in a setting where direct inter-car competition isn't in question, so wheel to wheel battles are a non-factor). Again, I do not have the data on the unpredictability of Monaco qualifying. We did certainly had the surprise of Ferrari having great pace, and 7 different teams in Q3 is definitely a welcome surprise, but again this isn't data based so take it with a grain of salt if you wish. The second point is what I'd pin as the main factor, mainly based on community sentiment (and also how Monaco is marketed). The "true test of driver skill". People seem to just really enjoy seeing F1 cars go around Monaco as long as they don't have to race each other, and that's totally fair. It's a great *show*. Which is enough for some people.
I would disagree that "how much worse is Monaco race vs how much better is it's qualifying vs other races" is THE most important point. It certainly is important, but it is a very subjective point imo, so I don't see either of us establishing a truth as you put it. As already mentioned before, "how" great or bad something is isn't easy to objectively quantify. Which is why the entire debate of people who say Monaco sucks vs people who say it doesn't is both heated and eternal. I can certainly see the upsides of Monaco, but I'd wager the downsides outshine them.
I wouldn't say I'm trying to convince you of my stance. Some people like Monaco, some don't. But I saw an argument in your points that I believe was worth taking further. There were certain points that I agreed with, and certain points that my brain immediately attempted to counter, so I left a comment to provoke some thought. I guess in a roundabout way it's a compliment along the lines of "this piece of content left enough of an impact to make me want to discuss the points it makes, but I don't quite agree with some of the sentiments. Here's my counterpoint, and I'd be happy if you replied with yours". Which seems to have worked:) It's for sure an interesting debate, and I'm happy to go into some fact crunching
where you at?
Great Video, but car size matters as well. That's why I expect better racing next year.
Don't because unless cars are go kart size and speed overtakes will still be rare.
we need a MAX VS LEWIS VIDEO BEST SEASON EVER
Bull VS 7 Time Champion
The controversial season comes down to the last lap shootout
Dude bro please 🙏🙏🙏 do a 2021 season review
It's cool that you're covering the Indy 500!
I'm a new fan that was brought in by Drive to Survive. I knew there wasn't much overtaking going into the race and still found it quite exciting. The precision of the drivers and watching how the different strategies impact the race kept me entertained.
Imagine a car doing 170mph down one of your city streets and tell me it's boring.
Hopefully the cars will be more equal from next year after regulations. That’s the main thing that annoys me, we need to see less of a gap.
Are you still making videos. Just found your Chanel. Some Great stuff.
He’s still pretty active on Twitter
Great video
Love your Videos
Is it bad I recognised most of the voices in the beginning?
haha no that's great!
Me too 😂😂😂
I hope this channel isn't finished. There are still stories to be told.
3:32 Why is there a zoom in on Elio De Angelis when you are talking about Alboreto passing Prost?
Loved this and love your chanel, but i'm surprised you didn't show Leclerc's superb overtake at Rascasse...... was it last year or 2019?🤔🤔
Monaco was never meant to be an overtaking race, in my opinion.
No shit 😉
Rather Monaco was never meant to be a race in the first place.
Love the way this championship is building up. Not a great race, but exciting nontheless.
Very close again, but im afraid Merc will become champions again very easily because that car is simply the best of the grid by far
largest delta against hamilton he's experienced since nico in a non contact race with the title battle. irrelevant to overtaking, by data this was one of the most important races we've had in some time.
Exactly, not a great race in itself but the results and implications... Delicious. And it's Monaco so plenty of eye candy to make up for lack of action.
@@CYMotorsport question, are you gonna cover Le Mans this year? I think most racing fans would look forward to your carefully researched opinions about that race. If you are ever in the position to attend, i would highly recommend it. Been there 5 times now and it is just epic. Plan to go again in 2022, when this pandemic will be in our rear view mirror. Keep up the good work, and good luck with the channel.
Monaco is always an outlier.
Such a dramatically different race.
Hoping you'll come back with more content soon!
00:55 love seeing the Triomphe des Alpes at La Turbie (incidentally, it's in France but has an amazing view over Monaco and the FC has its training facilities there).
Now onwards with the video!
Beautifully accurate and leclerc yesterday showed just this point
Dude where are you? I'm starting to worry, we never met but you and i have had some interactions in the comment section. Love your quality content, so it should have been logical you would massively cover this epic season.
Hope you are heathy and doing well.
Monaco is famous I think because it's also one of the most difficult tracks to race in the world.
Even if you do have first place, keeping that position without losing a fraction of a second's focus and crashing is difficult.
In the F1 2019 video game, I was knocking out every track in first place. With assists of course, with the exception of ABS.
Although, Monaco? I couldn't.
I straight up resigned from the race after dozens of tries and just moved on. I couldn't complete the race without losing a damn wing, even though I won first in quali.
I couldn't do it in the video game, where they have less laps and the benefit of assists and just not being irl. I can only imagine this gauntlet of driving in real life
Can you do a 2021season review
Quality videos!!!
Hey Nick can you make a video on the Marina Bay Circuit? It is always a brutal challenge for drivers.
The reasoning behind the video works perfectly when you talk about qualification, where every margin counts. But in the race, you don't really have to push at all, because the car behind won't be able to overtake you even if it catches you. Which leads to cars driving at a comfortable pace, very little errors (because of low demand to push) and basically 78 laps of cars circling with the same order as they started. Why have race then at all? Just do a triple quali weekend.
What's with the lack of uploads?
Did i tell u ur my favorite f1 contact creators
Does anyone know what's in the plans to "change" Monaco? My only suggestion is to have a one off race with a much smaller car.. but I don't mind keeping it the way that it is.. I'm not sure if it was Crofty that said that a drivers championship consists of many types of tracks and Monaco is just a different type.. Hungary isn't much different.. With having the current rules for qualifying it really makes the driver and team put the whole weekend together..
You said it well as always Nick.
i hate all my videos but i usually hate these "argument" type videos the least haha
I love it when you take on a complex issue/discussion point and you break out facts and numbers. You do keep it open end enough (and you communicate correctly too) for the viewer to make up their own mind. But you construct your argument with numbers, facts and a solid way of driving home your point. It's real quality content, it is not here to "please everyone", but rather provide an evidence based look at things people have strong opinions and feelings about. This channel is for the Formula 1 fans and racing fans who appreciate the sport in it's wholeness, or at least in it's core definition and sense of what it is to be a racing fan.
@@king_zapp that was very wholesome haha appreciate that. kinda what I'm going for so I'm glad someone sees it!
I know I am late, but I hope you'll see this. I am spamming all of your f1 content. You have a serious knack for stats and looking in between the political cracks of F1 and telling much more interesting and nuanced stories behind the sport. Thank you.
I also love the little touches in your edits to give an artistic flair to a point your making, like Riccardo falling into the "very, very ugly" pool at 3:00.
I agree. We get plenty of thrilling racing all year long full of overtakes and on track battles. We can have one race where things are a little different without complaining about it. I enjoy monaco for those insane shots of wheels just barely touching the barriers and quali sessions that are nail biting.
