One unique event in f1 that I think should have been mentioned was the 1954 British grand prix - then, as now, there was an extra point on offer for fastest lap- but with mechanical stopwatches, laps were only measured to the nearest whole second. At this race, 7 drivers set a 1:50, meaning 7 drivers each got 1/7 of a point. This also meant that Mike Hawthorn finished the season with 24 and 9/14 points

When Max started he beat the youngest ever driver record by almost 2 years, not almost 1 year, according to your list the youngest ever driver at that point was Jaime Alguersuari at 19 years and 125 days compared to Max's 17 years and 166 days. Lance Stroll might be the next youngest but he started 2 years later.

[@tiagodumont4422]

Yeah, that bit confused me a bit. If Stroll started 2 years after Max, how could he hold the record?

[@OutriseLP]

Well he wont beats Seb´s titles for youngest WDC, double WDC, triple ans quadruple WDC though. Thats for sure now, only then you realise how young he was back then. And he "only" sits fourth on the youngest polesitter list. So he doesn´t have all the youngest records.

The race that has (and realistically, will forever have) the current record for least classified finishers is the 1966 Monaco GP which saw just 4 cars make it 90% towards the then still 100 laps of Monaco. Really it makes sense considering that Monaco was 100 laps back then and that this was the first year that had the 90% rule, otherwise this race would've had 6 finishers, in which case I think the record would go to the 20 lap shorter '68 Monaco GP with 5 finishers no matter how you count it (the 6th place person went out on lap 16).

He still went out onto the track after the grid starters had passed the pit exit, as normal in a regular pit start, and unbelievably not a single steward noticed the bright yellow car he was driving until about lap five or so when he retired due to an engine failure. That's how he made the only triple of DNQ, DNF and DSQ. He got banned from F1 with that move

[@adam346]

I think Verstappen being so successful is why they instituted the rule... other teams may see this and try to fast-track younger drivers with talent in the hopes of achieving the same thing. Also to possibly prevent people who have no legal control over their lives from being pressured by parents or legal guardians into signing contracts they have no say over.

[@dinglepringle1380]

As for the second half of this comment, you’ve gotta remember that F1 drivers start a career in racing when they’re 4/5/6 years old. By the time they’re 13, they’re professional and have contracts to sign that they have no say over.

[@adam346]

@@dinglepringle1380 I am unaware of how much junior drivers or f2/3 drivers make in comparison to F1 but I imagine the figures go from 6 to 7-8. Having a parent signing a contract on your behalf where they get the majority of a 7 figure contract is... well, suspect.

[@adam346]

@Trikk not implying that. I am implying that someone who cannot make legal decisions on their own behalf or enter into a contract on their own behalf have people that may be making decisions that may not be in their best interest. Money is a massive motivator, especially if the parents have sacrificed a lot to get their kid this far... so if, for instance, another Max Verstappen type were to rise through the ranks and get in at 17 again... and then die on track... or just get severely injured... it raises the prospect of legal responsibility of letting a minor take part in a known deadly sport. This way, there are no questions.

[@RoyMatzem]

Actually is to promote F2/F3 championships, Max didnt need those to prove himself, if that becomes a trend, FIA would lose lot of money, so these rules along licence points, make those categories now mandatory

[@adam346]

@@RoyMatzem I think they only made being 18 and in the prior categories for two years the mandatory aspect... the license points can be earned by driving in any number of categories and placing well in them... so it is not locking in F2/3. F2 though, does have the most license points at 40 for the top three so it would be the "easiest" to get your license in but not exclusive to it. You can jump from F3 to F1 if you place 2nd two years in a row and ditto with Formula E, Formula Euro and if you place first twice in LMP 2 (World Endurance) two years in a row. If anything, it encourages mixing and matching and encouraging high-placing racers to push ahead. I can see why you would think that with the most points being given by F2 though.

[@Felyxx]

I love how Williams appealed and let Villeneuve compete and then when he only finished 6th so basically got only 2 points at the time, they were like "nah, we changed our minds, we withdraw our appeal, you can consider his race finish null".

[@kariolm2579]

It's one of FIA messed up decisions (the 2021 SC fiasco was far from being first after all). FIA should have give Villeneuve race ban... But for Jerez and allow Suzuka to stand, as he already finished the race.

[@MrOpacor]

@@kariolm2579 I absolutely agree. That would have made Schumacher and Ferrari undisputed champions in Jerez.

Of course, we cannot mention weird moments from F1 history without mentioning the 3 way tie for pole position in Jerez 1997. The top three drivers on the grid, Jacques Villeneuve, Michael Schumacher and Heinz Harold Frentzen, all set exactly the same time to three decimal places, with the official time difference showing "+0.000". The order was decided by whichever driver set the time first, which was Villeneuve. Just as remarkable, but overshadowed by the 3 way tie for pole, was the driver closest to that time. At the time, it wouldn't have been too surprising if it was one of the two McLarens of Mika Hakkinen or David Coulthard, possibly one of the young Jordan drivers of Ralf Schumacher or Giancarlo Fisichella, but no. The next closest driver to the time set by the top 3 was set by Arrows driver, and outgoing world champion, Damon Hill. Martin Brundle put it best: "Who would have expected, after the winter testing here [Jerez] when Damon was 4 or 5 seconds off the pace, that he would be just 1 tenth [of a second] off a pole position?"

About spa 2022, a technicality. Yes it was decided by one lap (in essence). However it’s not fair to the drivers it was only decided after the saftycar. Yes I am aware that’s not how it was said, but not mentioning the tricky qualification runs is a injustice to their efforts. I mean the worst car made it to P2 in that dreadful rainy qualifying

[@ELSTERLING]

Agreed. That race was a farce but letting George's efforts go unrewarded would have been a crime.

[@8020drummer]

translation: it's been a slow week in the 22 F1 season 🤣

[@craigmacmillan2528]

1954 British GP when a point was awarded for fastest lap and it was shared by 7 drivers all earning one seventh of a point - timing was by stop watch then and only to tenths of a second at that race uniquely - as a Brit I am ashamed at our useless technology then!!

[@jsquared1013]

Nothing "useless" about it at the time, and only recording to the tenth eliminates some of the potential human error.

[@HungryFreelancer]

Lewis Hamilton as the only car on the grid at Hungary 2021. That was amazing!

[@subhamde8412]

Nobody can stop the Winkel'Rock'

[@snorxaljasermusic8613]

What about brawn gp winning both championships in their only season in f1? Has that happened before? (Forgive me if it has, my formular 1 history knowledge doesn't extent very far beyond about the mid 90's)

[@JFK37002]

You had to bring up the Belgian grand prix…

[@Atty1997]

I think it should have been included " *becoming* F1 champion while being already dead", 1970

[@armcoqa7349]

No mention of Jochen Rindt?

[@fungusamongus69420]

3:00 that's a bit *sussy*

[@kuchenblechmafiagmbh1381]

4:35 Weird to see Bernd Schneider appear on that list, he won the DTM championship five times (the old one in 1995 and the new in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2006) so successful touring car drivers might not be successful open wheeler drivers, Pascal Wehrlein also failed and returned to DTM.

[@jonathankfouri3431]

Karthakayan being the only person to finish 24th is honestly the most wild because it feels so unimportant, yet so impressive somehow 😂

[@akhyarrayhka4048]

3:09 AMOGUS

[@dhupee]

3:00 AMOGUS

[@SpeculativeConjecture]

Sussy

[@SolidSonicTH]

Karthikeyan actually set the lowest finish in F1 history earlier that season in China (a race with only one retirement, giving Karthikeyan a P23 finish) then broke his own record in Valencia.

[@twatts4436]

What about the one guy who didn't qualify (officially DNS), was disqualified, and then didn't finish?

[@adriaalv922]

2:59 Oh no, please don't say it.

[@rxr1156]

1:27 Schumacher is finally not in this list anymore

[@rvallenduuk]

1998 British Grand Prix, when Michael Schumacher won the race in the pit lane. Pretty sure that only happened once...

[@Siniset]

At least unofficially it happened in 2009 Malaysian Grand Prix. Button pitted on the lap which ended up being the last which was counted.

[@Nator316]

Checo going from Last to First Place and Winning the Race.

[@gentmusic3554]

Pretty sure Jenson did this in Canada 2011 as well, but maybe Checo’s the only person to do it in the dry?

[@RACECAR]

Not quite as well before that, John Watson won the 1983 United States Grand Prix West after qualifying 22nd.

[@jakeothy]

1. Youngest driver was previously held Jaime Alguersuari, Stroll is simply the second youngest driver to join F1, but never held title for youngest.

[@user-sf6gr9qw8x]

And when Lance Stroll debuted, he became the youngest driver ever - a record previously held by Lando Norris.

[@TheShockninja]

😶

[@olajideparis]

Ha

[@joostprins3381]

Which he took from Yuki.

[@RajashreeDarastekar]

Max joining f1 at 17 and impressing everyone is pure class and most magical moment.

[@eamonahern7495]

In my opinion, Tora Takagi was better than his 32 races without a point suggests.

[@CasperEgas]

Benetton was in fact a rebranded (sold) Toleman. So Fabi didn't really move to Benetton.

[@vasilgerchev]

I'm not sure if somebody mentiones if before me, but last years 1 car standing start in Hungary. Hamilton starts by himself, whilst the rest come into the pits on formation lap to change tyres.

[@LiamDilley]

The next races will show. If Ferrari and red bull have to raise their ride height they will be slower. If they don’t and we see them bouncing then we know they have changed based on the directive too. If they were doing nothing wrong those two teams would not be complaining as they have. It does explain a lot and I appreciate this video being made.

[@anthonycarless1748]

That aged well lol Looks like they were complaining about a rule change mid season after all, despite knowing they conform to them.

[@sirzigglesworth]

Damn 777 drivers to start a race, that's a cool number to have landed on during making this video

[@harveyw3469]

Gonna have to change that race starts with no points for Mick now

[@MrSniperfox29]

Funny thing is what happened to Winklehock would now be illegal as it's counted as "driver coaching". You can coach your driver from lap 1 for every single lap, but god forbid you tell your driver its about to rain and he should come in for wet weather tyres.

[@azaz911c]

4:43 great helmet design

[@davidflint6917]

I would say a good honerable mention would be the race (I cannot remember which,) where qualifying was a dead heat for the top three places to a thousandth of a second. Possible to do again, but Highly unlikely.

[@Roxor.Z]

Jerez 97, the last race of that season, also only 1 point of distance between Villeneuve and Schumacher

[@darrensim295]

Soon you can add Latifi finishing 21st in a 20 man season to this list

[@Milehupen]

Yooo, Buenos Aires track lookin hella sus!

[@JolluxMan]

3:09 yeah this grand prix is weird, given the track layout is sus

[@asterixdogmatix1073]

6:52 Ahhh, Penthouse magazine sponsoring F1 teams. Don't think we will ever see that happening again.

[@nathanmccubbin6660]

the first race i watched was spa 2021, great time to start watching

[@frzzzdtm]

and don't forget Jerez 1997 qualifying session. Schumacher, Villeneuve, Frentzen did exactly the same time!

[@bowelrupture]

1.21.072

[@CraigPaulWilson]

What season had the most number of different engine layouts? I think 1990 must be up there, with 5 - V8, V10, V12, flat-12 (in the Coloni-Subaru) and W12 (in the Life).
