MONZA's weird corner names EXPLAINED

[@triptechable]

Ascari is a perfect name for the set of corners. Fitting tribute tbh

[@Kam1Kaz3NL77]

If you want to a circuit and really want to butcher some names, go for Zandvoort :P (you may butcher them, but I thinkthe Dutch don't mind too much, because you at least will try :P )

[@MrVsGarage]

I was thinking about it last weekend, but I still refuse to believe the "Rob Slotemakerbocht" is a real corner name

[@wesselzeilstra2422]

Its weird, yes, and thats coming from a dutchie. But please make a video about Zandvoort.

[@quintuscrinis]

Part of why their have been so few successful Italian drivers is that Enzo Ferrari had for a long time a policy of not selecting Italians to race for him on the basis that it was too dangerous to risk Italian lives in the cars. Meanwhile most other teams were facing the fact that Ferrari was the national team in Italy and moat Italian drivers wouldn't drive for anyone else.

[@vetteltuna1716]

The commentators are gonna need to watch this video!

[@EustTube]

Wish I'd found your channel sooner mate. Informative, and also a really bloody funny, well-written script. Looking forward to more!

[@struikrover1395]

Brilliant video! I've found your channel recently and I've been watching all your videos religiously! Extremely entertaining and at the same time I learn some new things, even though I've already been watching F1 for 23 years. Keep up the good work and can't wait for the next video!

[@MrVsGarage]

Hey I'm glad you could actually find some of it helpful 😂

[@gabrielcanavese]

I really need a video of you butchering the names in Interlagos. The corners there have some very interesting names and histories.

[@MrVsGarage]

don't know what makes you think I would butcher them ;) but absolutely, video later this season!!

[@RadeticDaniel]

​@@MrVsGaragethe long standing tradition of british commentators and youtuber in pronouncing "junção" as yoon-cow instead of june-suh-oo is the worst offender i high expectation of low pronunciation 😂😂😂 Although I'm pretty sure I never got any corner names correct in French or German 😅 What do you think about translating names when possible? It used to be common until it suddenly stopped and everything became corner numbers

[@fredherfst8148]

Been a casual f1 watcher for 25 years. Rarely if ever have I seen a detailed “place” name in a lap format like this. The times a circuit map is on tv are way too short and assumes everybody knows already. Well, new fans probably don't if I don't know them all. This vid helps a lot. Subd

[@patrickmalark8433]

Love these videos. I know many of corner names but surely not all of them and I don't (didn't) know the history. Appreciate you!

[@gw1265]

Your channel is perfect, you will surely get more traction and subs soon ❤️

[@PUDRETE919]

I always assumed that Parabolica derived from it being the second half of the second corner of the oval track

[@blokkebaas]

Would love to see (hear) you do Zandvoort

[@sohamsengupta6470]

I mean you can call these corner names uninventive, but at least most of them are fairly easy to learn quickly. Like the name parabolica itself makes it pretty damn obvious which corner it is even if you don't know Italian, provided you have an image of the track layout or a good overhead view, unlike say pif paf or the infamous eau rouge/raidillon

[@marcellopaniccia3d741]

I'm Italian and I'm laughing hard 😂 Excellent video.

[@RadeticDaniel]

Trying to rename the parabolica which is amongst the most iconic corners in F1 while having Big Corner and Central Straight on the track was a Ferrari level of strategical thinking 😂 Good way to ensure Alboreto will never be remembered in track discussions xD

[@atishaykankaria4461]

ascari is not that uncommon an occurrence sometimes tracks rename a corner or section of a track after a famous driver who died there for another example is turn 7 at Zolder (Zolder the other Belgium GP venue) was renamed Villeneuve after Gilles Villeneuve died there when he colided with another car and his ferrari went air born and he was thrown out of the car and killed

[@joepzenz]

Best names of corners on any circuit by far.

[@claudiorivolta-od6cd]

3:31 Peregallo is a fraction of Lesmo. That’s why. Edit: i know it bc i live in Lissone, a small city near Monza

[@siebebijnens9285]

In zolder the Villeneuve chicane is also named because Gilles Villeneuve died there. But at least they waited only 3 years to install the chicane

[@Peterthegreat1234]

Ofcourse it was supposed to be ' Lesbos ' , but the person trying to register the name had a cold.

[@KarimElHayawan]

"La Curva di Lesmo" is also the name of the first book of the Valentina comics series by Guido Crepax.

[@francescopennetta958]

Alboreto was from Milan which makes sense, besides we love the guy

[@shaurgaur]

It would be the funniest thing ever if in 20 years they rename Parabolica to the Curva Antonelli (given fp1)

[@AlexG91_RSR]

I don't know if you saw this, but monza as the same shape of the Italian hand as you call it 😂

[@Adwnpinoy310]

Please do this for Monaco.

[@Hatezorulet]

Nightmares of every simracer is soo true❤

[@alanwalker3915]

Didn't see the Fisichella corner, did I miss it :)

[@NikkOcello17]

That one above the Lesmos isn't just a canal, it's the Lambro river, but is sounds so baaaaad

[@jackthemelonman]

It’s so crazy that he had hair

[@NickD7986-w5s]

The absolute closest thing you can find to zebras at Monza were the Alpha Tauri's 😂

[@RadeticDaniel]

As for your last comment... engineers don't make good racers, racers don't make good engineers. Nowadays a good strategist may not workout as engineer or racer at all and both those roles eill have people unable to fully strategize... So yeah, Italy does make a lot of good racing cars, which shows a cultural trend for designing and building, but not for racing 😅 They are the opposite of Brazil in that regard, with many drivers either winning or being runner up on drivers championship withiut ever producing a good team or manufacturer to fight for points. The irony in this is that all great Brazilian drivers have Italian surnames 😂

[@Kentanimationnnnnnnnn]

where the interlagos one

[@Fungamer4570]

ive watched f1 for years but decided to watch the other commentators today and whenever they said lesmos it sounded like the m was a b lol

[@goodmorningkay]

Why are the names weird? Is it because they are in a different language? Feels strange to me. Things shouldn't be 'weird' because they are in a different language.

[@mang755]

''italy has a surprising not very good history of drivers in F1'' just wait a few years kimi antonelli will be changing that soon

[@alessandrobertagna8122]

I'm italian and it's "rettilineo" not "rettifilo"

[@marcellopaniccia3d741]

Rettifilo è assolutamente corretto.

[@TillURide420]

You know what Lesmos kinda sounds like?

[@Denes2005]

Curva Grande in theory, in reality i can’t not think of it as Kurwa Grande

[@Sosuke0727]

I wish all commentators knew the names of the corners of the circuit they comment 😔 If they don't have a name use numbers 🤷

[@oktayyilmaz5134]

how the hell Albereto is the best when there is Ascari:=)

[@Bobbo_1]

3:14 i can speak italian fluently but your pronounciation is so bad i didnt get it :)

[@LuckyRowlands]

I see nothing strange about naming a corner after a driver deceased there. It's a tribute, a posthumous honor. It seems you have a pretty closed mind about cultures different than yours

[@RadeticDaniel]

Wasn't "curva grande" the name in the 1960's before the chicanes were introduced at the end of the main straight? The corner was reprofiled to a significantly smaller radius because of the chicanes created at both ends and changed into "curva Biassono" after that as I understand

[@ciaocomestai2460]

It’s not weird it’s italian

[@joaovitorsilvagohl682]

Wouldn't be a perfect parabola if you count the oval?

[@MrVsGarage]

that would be even worse, and also parabolica isn't part of the oval, the oval sits just behind it

[@francescospina7473]

@@MrVsGarage I think (I don't actually know) that the thing being parabolic is the banking of the old oval track at the bigger corner behind. That is/was similar to nascar's oval tracks or zandvoort banked turn. It's for sure that the original Parabolica was the older one, the turn of the oval, and the Parabolica of modern days just inherited the name

[@gabriele8687]

It's rettilineo not rettifilo

[@MrVsGarage]

I got most of the info and spelling from the tracks own website so you're going to have to take it up with the people who own the place

[@pietrobandinellibandinelli6139]

@@MrVsGarage and as a matter of fact you're right. rettilineo means the same thing and it is way more used in italian, but rettifilo is an older term that sometimes still comes up. (mainly just in monza, cause as you said, that's the official name of the straight).

[@the-eye-is-watching]

I can't figure if you are trying to be humorous, witty or just funny. Regardless I long for the days when the dislike button functioned. For this video was a disrespectful joke.
