It's not the engineer, but Grosjean himself.. He was so bad.
@@needidindeed2839 was he? take a look at his stats, yes he's not the greatest at driving nor did he have the skill but he's got a number of podium finishes that set him out as seasoned.

Lewis crashes into Kimi in the pit lane for no reason: "that sort of thing happens"
bruh
Because the pit lane almost never closes, so when it does takes mamy drivers by surprise
@@YoungGzBlitz Well... Lewis is capable of exiting the pit the moment he saw green light. You are telling me that he isn't capable of seeing someone stopped in front of him during a red light?
@@harryofrevachol3240 Well under immense pressure, definitely
@@suni08 these guys can react to split second chrashes that happen in front of them to avoud the crashed car and resulting debris and yet you think Hamilton can't look at a red light and a near stopped car?
@@harryofrevachol3240 he still isn't capable of seeing red lights. Was it 2020 he got a penalty for going in to the pits while it was closed, and he argued that there was no red light when you clearly could see it 😂😂

Grosjean : what happened
His engineer : I think Erickson hit us!
classic
the myth that will never get explained
Let's just say that Haas race engineers have a well earned reputation.
Remember those days where they pronounced Vettel as "Vet'Tell?" Weird times.
James also pronounce as that way too
I'm not following F1 closely and I simply thought, wait is there another Vettel??
@@FzHnn Nah they just used to pronounce his surname different than now
For me is the english pronouncing of Vettel so or so weird.
Or when they pronounced verstappen as "Veschtappen"

I still don't understand why was there a red light flashing during the race? It makes no sense. Was there a rule where they had to stop that I'm missing out on?
@@moliveiravasco5 It's the pit lane light; the cars were most likely trailing behind the safety car or had just been released from a safety car status, although most likely the former due to the title of the video. It would be extremely unsafe to allow cars out into the path of the "snake" behind the safety car, especially where the track is laid out in such a manner that the cars exiting the pits have nowhere to go but onto the racing line as it is in Canada, where this incident occured.

5:42 that should’ve been the warning for FIA to use cranes instead of jcbs to get cars. 7 years later too late. RIP JB17 ❤️
Brundle talked about in back in the 90s AT japan, its a really harrowing video
Yes, try 20 years too late - Martin Brundle had the same crash as Bianchi, at the same corner, in the same weather conditions, twenty years prior. The only difference was he missed the recovery tractor by a couple of metres and "only" broke a marshal's leg instead...
What happened?

Charles Szasz how do you know? In the video you can’t see his brake light come on.
@Charles Szasz Telemetry showed Lewis never touched his brakes though Zzzzzz
@Charles Szasz that's not hamilton's fault though. He was doing his regular bunching of the pack as he did the other restarts that race. Vettel wasn't paying full attention and that's his fault.

I think Ericsson hit yesterday's video
Editing issue-the original version lacked the transition graphics on the #10 entry.
0:00 alright so there is somebody on top of that car being put on the truck. Top notch safety :D
It used to be a common practice - the back of the car was so much heavier than the front, so to prevent it swinging about too much while being craned away, a marshal would typically sit on the nose as a counterweight. They don't do it as much any more, if at all, so I guess they redistributed the weight of the cars or repositioned the crane hook or something.

After seeing this comment I couldn't stop laughing
5:42 Jules Bianchi could have been alive today if they realised the danger here.
much deep comment, very sad, wow
I can't believe how they didn't realize how dangerous that situation is. Like in a job hazard analysis kind of way. Hitting another stationary car is like two bumper cars hitting comparatively. I think they knew but didn't want to take action.
@@f1f278 Not really, this race was in Germany, and the virus was partially covered up because of corruption in the CCP. Then a few cases managed to escape after the quarantine and caused a massive outbreak in Italy, which has since spread around the World. What happened in 2014 with Bianchi wasn't relevant to whether they were in Japan (which has better people and is a better country than a lot of Europe) just people not seeing the danger of machinery on track until someone dies.
EDIT: He removed his comment but the guy was blaming Bianchi's death and the coronavirus on Asian people.
This also happened in Brazil 2003 too.
It's so sad

@@9NineVolt Well, the whole situation was really dumb. There isn't much he could say to his defense.
Once cars are parked up it's harder to see the light. Rosberg also crashes into lewis as well so it was obviously not just Lewis that didnt see
Why the teams weren't on the radio telling them the sc pack was passing and the red light would be on us a mystery though
@@cdname47 If you see the cars standing there why the fuck would you not break
@@nilshartl883 you have to do a lot when you're leaving pits, changing brake balance, shifting weight, talk on radio and stuff. It's easy to be distracted
*shrug*
Hamilton and Schumacher involved in nearly all of them.. the last one was scary. Makes me feel Jules could still be with us if they'd look at how dangerous that was.. cranes moving around while cars are still sliding off track INSANE
This list:
2021 Abu Dhabi GP: Hold my beer
"i think ericsson hit us!" still kills me lmao
2:33 "It could well cost him the GP"...In hindsight it lost him the ENTIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!....although granted you could say he also lost in in Hungary (engine failure) or in earlier GPs when he made some silly mistakes of his own. Funny also how most of these accidents involved Ferrari one way or another :D They are really cursed with safety car....
The light guy single handedly ruined Massa's 08 title, I wonder what happened to him after that
On the other hand, if Alonso and Briatore didn't make Piquet crashed, no safety car, Massa win the race and the championship. So, Ferrari's fault, or Renault's fault ?
@@alexandrebarayon4566 both
Can also say the engine failure in Hungary also cost Massa the championship
He also lost the title with his mistakes in Malaysia, Great Britain and Japan.

Hahahaha they finnaly stop call him vettel when 2009
3:38 full braking in a tunnel with blocking wheels is really one of the silliest things I have ever seen in Formula 1.
What the hell was Schumacher thinking in this situation???
It was a mistake, but why did JPM need to unlap himself in the tunnel of all places. Like, literally wait for the light, my guy.
Schumaker: "What happened was that Juan ran into the back of myself"
Reality: "What happened was that I tried to squeeze Juan against the wall and ended up spinning me around"
If JPM was unlapping and unlapping was allowed why did Schumaker try to stop it? If the move wasn't allowed then he would have to give the position back.
Fault? 100% Schumaker.
@@Undivided_X Dont put it on Montoya, it was MSC all by himself, 1. that idiotic braking bringing up montoya near 2. squeezing Montoya against the wall

Finally grosjean can be in a listwith the greats
4:52 Suddenly a wild Webber appears
Sad to see him at barrier. He could won that Grand Prix, which would be his first F1 win way more earlier.
Yeah, like half a second between his sudden breaking and impact, no time to react at all. That's a really shitty situation for a driver to find himself in. You have no breaking lights to see that the car is breaking, visibility is non-existent due to the rain and your grip is very reduced.
F1: How many crashes do would you like?
Grosjean: YES.

Gonna have to remake this one...
I like how Hamilton thinks rear-ending another car in the pitlane is 'one of those things that happen'.
I'm trying to think of a time that's happened before.
1:35 this is a warning from 2014. LeClerc was just clearing the car when Hamiltion went off. The drivers had zero positive control on that black ice rink.
This why Formula E drivers are instructed to stay in the car after an accident.
Yeah, Hulkenberg said as much in the post race interview. They were driving really slow in that corner and they still were unable to control the car. Literally like driving *on thin ice.*
That is by no way warning from 2014, it's slow corner compared to where Jules crashed.
Rosso Tifosi you clown. I don’t think human bodies are designed to take the force of an F1 car hitting them at any speed

i got a couple more to add to this
5:40 he has more luck than Jules 😥
He also almost rammed the SC just before that.
His speed wasn't that big as what Jules had, so propably wouldn't have been a critical crash

2:58 Vettel littelary went, oh so you can hit me? then I can hit you!
2021 season enters the chat.
Well, tbf, every top 10 list could have a piece of this season in it ^^
Finally. I've been waiting for this for the last 12 hours
5:03 VeTELL
Boy do I have some news for you
Quite telling on Lewis' personality: When Vettel crashes into the back of him he is ripping into Vettel for being unprofessional. Meanwhile, when he crashes into the back of Kimi its "Oh you know shit happens lol"
Nah, what was unprofessional was Vettel getting angry and then knocking into him from the side
There's also the fact that one happened 9 years before the other. Lewis's response in 2008 is pretty immature and dumb, but he was a lot younger than he is now. He's grown a lot since then, but his response in 2008 seems mostly down to inexperience and immaturity.
There's a part of People That RESPECT Hamilton and the other part RESPECTS Vettel and Kimi. But Vettel when Lewis Brake tested that was unsportsmanlike but Lewis Did The Same Thing. I respect everyone's decisions thats my opinion.
I don't like Lewis, and think his comment when he hit Kimi was one of the reasons I dislike him, but your comparison is way off. Lewis is not complaining about Vettel hitting him in the rear, he is complaining about him being a totally dangerous twat and coming alongside him then fucking sideswiping him. What kind of moron does shit like that in an F1 car?
Not at all. There is a massive difference between accidentally crashing into someone, and deliberately hitting into someone like Seb did.
You cut the part in Germany 2007 when the crane put Hamilton back onto the track, like in Mario Kart when you fall off.
Also Winkelhock was leading at that point. He pitted for wet tyres before everyone else
I've never ever seen anything like that in F1 until that day and I still don't understand how a car which was stuck on the gravel could be put back on the track without any penalty or investigation. Cars during race are not supposed to get any external help to get back on track. Not even the driver can get out of the car and push it back without being disqualified.
@@almarma a little common sense would tell you that the race director knows the rules better than you do :) anyway, a car can be pushed by marhalls back on the track and before that day the rule applied to cranes too. They changed the rule afterwards as a result of this incident on safety grounds.
'I think Ericsson hit us'
Im crying again, thanks!
4:05 😂 pit stop pileup with Kimi Räikkönen rammed from behind by Lewis Hamilton and then Nico Rosberg rams into the back of Hamilton while Robert Kubica got away once turned green
2007 European GP is memorable
Well, that crash in Canada was a sign of things to come from Hamiltons
That last one was outrageous! Wow! 6 cars. That was a river flowing over the track.
I love it when Lewis doing a Kimi at 4:30
2:40 Did this man try to stop Massa with his foot?
Add Abu Dhabi 2021 Grand Prix to this list now.
Vettel: Angry words when he hits into Hamilton.

Every single one of these was Ericsson’s fault! Incredible!
"Its happened again at Ferrari"....its still happening.

They need to add Abu Dhabi 2021
4:00 Michael completely ignoring the fact that it was himself who hammered the brakes leaving Juan with no chance to react
Dirty as always?
It was under the safety car, JPM should be more alert. It was unfortunate for both, but you can't possibly say that it was Schumacher's fault.
Juan did react. He tried to pass Michael for a small lock up, under a safety car. How is this even an upvoted comment?
@@hpintrepid Schumi locked up suddenly for absolutely no reason, and you expect Juan to hit the brakes aswell? Worst case scenario, Juan would ram into the back of Schumi, and another one would be the car behind Juan to hit Juan, and then Schumi aswell.
Sandro totally right - MSC was stamping on the brakes in the tunnel and JPM couldn't have known this - 100% MSC fault. MSC did the same in Australia one year, and Button crashed off avoiding him.

Oh what one more year can do...
Seeing leclerc dig himself in, the merc crew frantically scrambling for tires was just hilarious af! Also how tf did vettel not get a more severe penalty for actually hitting a driver with his car on purpose?! Also schumi blocking montoya ?!?!?! Why? Move to the side if your wheel is hanging off like that!! And 3:30 why is he not driving behind the barrier?! It’s like he wants a sc to happen to maybe fuck with his direct competition for the title?!

4:15
Kimi: FOR PERKELE SAKE
Last time I was this early was yesterday when this was uploaded 1st time
1:00 perfectly in sync
Yeah bro just noticed that
This one needs an update
And then there’s the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix standing in the corner.
Agree. If we're talking about chaos during SC, 1973 Canada would've win every single time
I didnt know about that event until i saw your comment so i just read the wikipedia page of the safety car to learn about the incident and i just laughed wtf
So true but that was the first ever race wiht teh safety car so they might have needed to consider that. But if not it should easily be number one
For those that don't know:
That year, F1 decided to trial a safety car at several Grands Prix following the fatal crash of Roger Williamson, primarily seen by the fire engine unable to reach Williamson in time to save it having to contend with race traffic. Though tested at several Grands Prix (Austria was one if I'm not wrong), the safety car was only able to come out in Canada following a collision with Jody Scheckter and Francois Cevert.
The lap the safety car was due to come out, race leader Jackie Stewart and _everyone else_ went in to change tyres due to track conditions drying at the same time. The safety car driver, Eppie Wietzes _(former F1 driver himself),_ elected to wait for Stewart to come out of the pits, then pick him up as the leader. However, the Scot had a *terrible* pit stop (think Lewis Hamilton in the video above), and that left the driver dumbfounded. In the days before electronic lap timing, Stewart's Tyrrell crew still lumbering away and the horde of drivers coming out of the pits, Wietzes got desperately confused, and just went _screw it_ and left the pits, picking up *Howden Ganley* as the leader. Have you ever heard of Ganley? If not, I'm not surprised, as he was a lower-midfield driver in those days (somebody like KMag in the Haas would be more appropriate).
As everyone got confused as to who exactly was the leader (partially because everyone agreed _Ganley has no chance in hell of winning a race),_ the general consensus was that Jackie Oliver and Jean-Pierre Beltoise were the leaders, and had gained a *significant* advantage over everyone else in the pack. Emerson Fittipaldi, then contending for the lead, was left nearly a full-lap behind in the mix-up. Once the flag dropped, though, the Lotus driver went on a complete surge, gaining his lap back on both Oliver _and_ Beltoise, then passing them both for, what everybody thought, was the lead.
As Fittipaldi finished his 80th and final lap, Lotus team boss Colin Champan did his trademark 'cap toss' celebration in the pitlane...only to realize *the checkered flag* still hadn't flown. Cars flew by, running over Chapmans hat now laid on the track, including Oliver and Beltoise, and *still* no chequered flag, indicating the leader had yet to finish. As Chapman was left dazed and confused, a pack of cars led by Ganley crossed the line...and only _then_ did the chequered flag fall. Although most people knew that Ganley still had no chance in hell of legitimately winning a race, including _Ganley himself,_ did the organizers *award him the victory?*
Of course not. Among the pack of cars led by Ganley was one Peter Revson, driving for McLaren. He had already passed Oliver and Beltoise way before Fittipaldi did, yet nobody really considered him to be the leader until everyone checked the lap charts of all teams to confirm that, indeed, Revson had won his 2nd and last career victory.
Howden Ganley and his girlfriend then did a complete 180 insisted that he had won. But nothing came out of that. And that's the story of Formula One's first ever safety car.
@@Mclarenboy100 holy shit that's wild 😂
I watch Liuzzi spinning off and nearly going under the tractor and think "if only we'd heeded that warning, maybe we'd not have lost Bianchi". Hindsight is a wonderful thing
I was watching live and I definitely thought it was too dangerous at the time, but Hamilton was insisting on being fished out...
Europe 2007. Legendary. Winkelhock in the Spyker being the only one who had pitted for full wets before the race and leading the race after a heavy downpour had started in lap 1
I think that the new P1 is 2021 Abu Dhabi Safety car.
