F1's Most Horrific Crashes - Episode 4 Part One | F1 Documentary

[@hiromihonda9424]

As a hardcore motorsport enthusiast, these are the best produced crash documentaries I have ever seen. I love how the focus is on the human story of the driver and the situations that led to the crash and the changes that were made in the aftermath. Most videos/docs focus on the sensationlization of the crash and is more about click- bait for non-motorsports types. This is also the motus operandi of many outlets that broadcast motorsports events. These series of documentaries clearly involves a great deal of effort and research and as a motorsport ethusiast, I really appreciate your efforts. Kudos for the excellent effort producing these documentaries!!!

[@MotorMad]

Thank you! I am also in the same boat when it comes to modern-day crash content on YT & it was that which was one of the original influences behind this project, simply because I had grown fed up of that kind of content & thought, as racing fans, we deserved better 🙂

[@gearmeister]

You got that right. This brilliant video production is as good or better than any for the sport. There's definitely a better way to tell a story which honors the drivers and their families instead of carnage. Instantly subscribed 29:14

[@Yukino-014]

33:39 Fun fact: The driver involved in this terrifying flip is Hans Herrmann, and the clip itself is from the 1959 German Grand Prix, held at the notorious AVUS. Herrmann not only survived this crash, but was also unhurt, thanks to nothing but sheer good luck. As of writing this, Herrmann is the last surviving F1 podium finisher from the '50s, with his 97th birthday coming up on the 26th of February.

[@nathanw9770]

Its almost as if this guy single handedly used up all the other drivers good luck

[@MotorMad]

Yeah that's right, I forgot to put a caption on that particular clip 😅

[@MrSaywutnow]

I've tried looking for interviews with Hermann, out of genuine curiosity. The only ones I could find were in German, with no subtitles.

[@kadetrickshot9952]

quite literally the only yt video that i remembered to come back to on a certain date. These videos are AMAZING

[@WarriorRazor]

These always hit so hard and are so well produced. Keep up the amazing work, can't wait for the next one.

[@MotorMad]

Thank you 🙂

[@Phoenixrolo]

THIS is how a docuseries is supposed to be… engaging, emotional, respectuful and enjoyable. Very good job MM!!

[@erik6678]

Danke!

[@MotorMad]

Thank you very much! 🙂

[@kcenneckennek]

These are some of the best motorsport documentaries on youtube. Not only does has it covered the more famous, or rather infamous, crashes, it goes further into the history of the drivers, keeping their stories alive aside from just being known as 'the driver who died in x crash'

[@extragoogleaccount6061]

The most respectful way to handle these topics

[@JovitoEspinoza-e9j]

The 1958 season was really sad, everything was like a very cruel script, when you described the things that happened

[@aditi17g]

I feel lucky to have found this series. One of the best, most emotionally stimulating docu-series I've ever watched.

[@AuntieSmelly]

Oh my God, I am so excited! Looks absolutely fabulous already! Having François in there to make this one in emotional one for me, I think he’s one of the biggest tragedies Formula One has ever seen. I’m pretty sure it was Jackie’s wife that caught that shot of François, pulling his visor down and giving the French kiss right before his accident, that part gets me in the gut every time

[@kevingame3198]

@AuntieSmelly yeah but it’s the description of death that is… gruesome in detail decapitations in motorsport persisted until 1995 with the death of Russell Phelps in NASCAR that is probably the most gruesome death that feels something out of a Mortal Kombat or doom game

[@chrishosie1]

I absolutely love these documentaries. So factual, so entertaining and so human. Human in that they showcase the stories and characters of each driver. Not matter how underrated, unknown or untouchable in their greatness. These are properly well done. And this episode is one of my all time favourites. And it’s over two parts, which makes it even more tantalising and intriguing. Again these are super amazing to watch as well as being very educational. I’ve learned so many new facts and aspects to many of these drivers and events. If this series was up for a televisual award for KZbin made documentary series. This would be a real top scorer, if not outright winner.

[@PescaraProductions]

It's amazing just how much Stirling Moss lost by being one of the nicest people Motorsport has ever had. At least 2 F1 titles effectively given up that I can think of, through simply being the textbook definition of a gentleman

[@1339LARS]

Amazing Thank you!!! //Lars

[@rolfsinkgraven]

A fantastic video again, and well-made, loved it.

[@harry69007]

Thank you so much Jack for telling the stories about these accidents. I've just finished the first part, emotional after hearing about Jo Siffert. All of these accidents are equally emotional, and heartbreaking to hear about. I look forward to watching the second part of this episode after a break, thank you for all that you've done for the series and for the stories you've told about all these accidents.

[@jronmaster8400]

Watched the entire series! What an amazing Job you did man, respect. I loved every minute of it. Your representation of all events is amazing and could not have been done better

[@morgand.3809]

Amazing work. I'm sorry I missed the premiere, but this was definitely worth the wait. On to part two!

[@iancampbell7171]

Thank you enormously........there is so much footage here I've never seen.....absolutely amazing !

[@jamesvozar1]

Foreshadowing; Denny hulme describing almost the same type of accident he would go on to have driving a three series BMW at Bathurst, difference being he suffered a stroke prior to making contact with the wall.

[@Yukino-014]

This Bathurst race was particularly sad. Race winner Jim Richards was a good friend of Denny Hulme. He was only informed about his death moments before stepping up to the podium with his teammate Mark Skaife, where the crowd then verbally tore them apart for winning in a Nissan against the fan-favourite Fords and Holdens. This prompted Richards' infamous "You're a pack of arseholes" comment to the crowd. Also, Hulme's teammate in that race was a young debutant bloke called Paul Morris, making his second attempt at the mountain. I like to think that Hulme continued to watch over him from up there, all the way until Morris finally won the Bathurst 1000 in 2014, after 22 years of trying his best.

[@tdurb0]

Thank you so much mate. Incredible work yet again. However: I’m not only selfish, I’m also massively self-entitled, so I’m already impatient for part 2 😊 Seriously though, your work is fkn excellent

[@Lost1ntheSauc3]

Part two is already out, no need to wait

[@shannoncharlton46]

i have to say i dont really go much on stuff like this but i have to say your editing skills and documentry skills are better then the discovery channel so thank you for doing this you have a subscriber for life...

[@wilkaii]

Oh man, I've been hanging for this! Thanks for these excellent documentaries!

[@KellieLeigh48]

I hope u continue to make content similar to this. Narrated videos about certain races, cars, drivers. Etc. Your voice is perfect for me to relax by. ❤

[@MotorMad]

Don't worry I'm not going anywhere! Just taking a little break & then I'll be back on it very soon 🙂

[@danielkastler3868]

easily one of the best produced videos (and also the whole series) about F1 ever, bravo 👏

[@plisskenationbackfromthede3657]

Its kinda crazy that some kids (no offense) can make a documentary at home that rivals stuff the bbc was making like 20 years ago lol. Not a dig at all. Im impressed. Well done mates. I didnt even realize i watched the 1st 3 months back but ill be sure to watch them again and im subbed for part 5. Nice to see a channel going for quality over quantity

[@MotorMad]

None taken 😂

[@TheAlphaDingo]

incredible quality and care evident again, well done mate! I've probably watched hundreds of various motorsport videos on youtube and your content easily stands out as some of the most memorable and best made. Can see the countless hours or research and production that undoubtedly goes into making these is reflected in the final product. fun fact for anyone interested - The Ferrari movie depicts both the Castellotti and de Portago crashes as well as the storm of controversy in the aftermath of the crash at Guidizzolo.

[@MotorMad]

Thank you 🙂

[@SingerDinger]

Well worth the wait as always!

[@JallyTee]

Brilliant work mate, what a great tribute to the top men that have shaped motorsport forever

[@Abdulbende]

One of the best F1 documentary I've ever seen, great series! Can't wait for more content!

[@CaptainLicorice]

You've really done this very respectfully. You tell their stories and what changes were made. As much as I love the danger aspect of early f1 but I'm so glad we're in a period where a drivers death is a shock. I still remember watching Roman groas. Crash and thinking i just watched someone die and being in complete shock and then tears of happiness when that absolute badass climbing out of the fire. Also his interview with Martin Brundle and him saying how he nearly accepted death before remembering his family before getting out. I have to say. I started watching f1 because of Antoine Hubert f2 accident. I'm a morbidly curious person. Also thanks for reading this, I'm dyslexic and hate commenting on the internet but i just wanted to say how much i loved this series

[@Arturro671]

man, you should have 10mil subs and twice as many views. I hope you blow up real good soon (I mean your channel)

[@tornado1598]

Well done on a great video, i havent watched a video that long in a while but watched the lot. Keep up the good work.

[@ilzee_vk]

I'm taking my time to watch it over this weekend, commenting after hearing the first story. Love the history of F1 that you include in talking about the accidents.

[@supercarparadise5635]

Amazing series! You cover these crashes pretty well and its very interresting to see, how these crashes even happened

[@ziggyziggyziggy]

Compare Revson's accident to Grosjean's... and see how far we've come. Thank you again for a solid sequel to your previous gems. Truly 101 material for every racing fan.

Been watching since the very first episode.. These aren't happy documentaries.. But I feel that they are all very important documentaries ..Also there is something about the narrator's voice and the calm music that is soothing and peaceful... R.I.P to all racing drivers who died in the pursuit of greatness.. 🙏✌️🏎️🏁

Completely unrelated to the video (sort of) but Revson is a great surname for a motorsports driver to me, but complete respect to you and anyone that’s helping you (if anyone is) these are some of the best quality videos if watched and by miles most informative

[@lostsince76]

Breathtaking.

[@leemorrison7113]

Rindt was right to be wary and skeptical of Chapmans Lotus cars... You get the impression its win at all costs with Chapman... an interesting if dubious and shadey character. I know he had ties with the Deloreon scandal.. His cars seemed to be death traps...

[@mrkipling2201]

His death is definitely dodgy, allegedly. Along with the fact that Chapman's wife was turning up in different countries around the world. Flying as well, even though it was well known that she was scared stiff of flying.......

[@leemorrison7113]

@mrkipling2201 Yep no doubt he was a character but something about him... lots of dodgy dealings i bet...

[@willyspeljak2214]

Fantastic jobb

[@Sadkeel]

can we get a sportscar championship version of this series? like imsa and wec?

[@MotorMad]

Quite possibly. All in good time though 👍

[@MrSaywutnow]

What's particularly sad about Rindt is that he promised his wife that he would retire from racing if he won the World Championship that year.

[@fabianrocha9924]

Rindt also didnt wear the Seatbelts correctly because he wanted to get out of the Car quickly in case of a fire if I'm not mistaken

[@21overpar8]

Could Hawthorn have been saved as the first kidney transplant was successfully performed in 1960 only a year after he died. Although there is also speculation that Mike passed out at the wheel of his fatal accident.

[@franklinsthewurst]

the one thing i sometimes think about is what's going through the cameracrew's heads. do they know that they're filming someone perish right in front of them? how do they feel about it?

[@MotorMad]

That's a good question actually. I do believe that they will know in their heads, but at the same time they are being paid to film things, It'll be up to the main studio to decide if us actually see what they are filming. Not so much in the early years though since they would've had maybe just a couple of cameras around & just like everyone else, they probably just accepted it as being a regular occurrence.

[@gchampi2]

Point of Order! Jochen Rindt HATED the early Lotus 72, not trusting the inboard brakes which repeatedly had problems in testing. He had planned to drive the 49C at Monza, but Colin Chapman refused to allow this, cancelling the car's shipment to the track. Given the choice of the 72 or no car, Jochen took the 72 out, but he was NOT HAPPY with having to use the car he didn't trust... I don't know which sources you used for this segment, but from all the account's I've read from drivers of the time, the early 72 was a spooky, spooky thing, darting around under braking as the brakes heated/cooled at random. It was one of those cars that were utterly amazing when it worked properly, but utterly terrifying if it didn't...

[@plisskenationbackfromthede3657]

Sterling Moss was a 5 star gentleman.

[@gajofre]

FINALLY !!!

[@21overpar8]

Musso although he did have gambling problems did come from a very wealthy family. What did help him though is that exactly a year before his death he won the non championship Reims Grand Prix together with the £10,000 prize (equivalent to £205,000 today.) It's doubtful I think that if anything was on his mind that day, his debts weren't one of them.

Im exactly the same never liked F1. But i loves these videos its really interesting. The tracks and cars caused 90% of deaths it seems. Its shocking. Bad brakes. Tires steering rack. Broke budget too. Its insane. Why do they even bother? The taam money is just loss money pitt. No matter what you spend its not enough ferrari redbull will double their budget. I saw FIA car and thought yes. That would be cool. The FIA team they need to work harder at bringing new teams in. But youve taught me F1 is bs still. The car might say Mercedes-Benz or whatever it wants to say. But is it? What parts does Mercedes actually make? Maybe alot but as kid i was confused aF about Sauber whatever. They the real ones. Mercedes-Benz just took over for them. Cadilac coming to F1 😂😂😂 thats just hilliarious the one thing they might have and they buy ferrari engine's 😂😂😂 Not some monstrous LS re print. Bennington Benneton they the resl ones. Lola. Liger. Whatever. Lola has the GT40 and Ford stole it from them. 😢

[@kevingame3198]

It’s in two parts why can’t you just merge them into one video or just name it into episode 4 and 5

[@Yukino-014]

I don't see the problem. Both parts will be premiered one after another, and the full runtime of Episode 4 is ~150 minutes. A break between both parts might help people digest the entire thing simultaneously, especially considering the subject matter.

[@AuntieSmelly]

Don’t question the madness, there’s always a method

[@chrissyp1188]

I think I'll need a break in between! I can only guess but there has been a logic. Ep1, no fatalities, Ep2, fatalities Ep3, no fatalities Ep4 fatalities. I saw the ending on Patreon & that made me cry even though it's not grim!
