My FIRST RACE in Formula 4

[@khawajadotd]

Pole position, and then made 9 passes to finish in top 5. All in your debut race. You should NOT be apologizing to us. This is the reality of racing: errors happen, and this may end up being a mechanical issue, even. As a fan, I am completely proud of your work here. You don't owe us perfect results, we just want to be a part of your journey

[@MikeOnTrack]

Hell yeah, and he's shown he's got some serious pace. Man, Naska, I'd love to experience F4 at Mugello. That's a dream combination, and you're living it!

[@alecmillea4539]

Couldn’t have been said any better

[@MXMmainchannel258]

Thx for spoiling

[@droppin_deuces]

Yeah sheesh. I hope everyone has a fan like you in their corner 👍

[@JTheraos]

​@MXMmainchannel258 you spoil ot for yourself by reading comments before watching.. smooth brain move right there lol

[@Hardcaslte]

Dude seriously, you're like the real life version of watching a sim race where you start in the back and destroy the field with people spinning and going off track and everything. You're a beast in every car you drive, you were faster than the whole field. That by itself says who you are, not the mistake that happened at the beginning.

[@ksln]

Lol! This. Very much this.

[@ninklehoonofficalYT]

He’s nearly the Max Verstappen of F4!

[@Roguescienceguy]

Those are clearly amateurs he is racing. Alberto is a bit better than that. I mean, handling a dinosaur(NASCAR) of a car around twisty Italian tracks does set you up for quality car handling.

[@luca.awracing]

seriously Alberto, dont apologise for not winning. It happens to everyone and we cant be angry at you for an issue that is so apparent with these sorts of cars. Great result, LETS KEEP PUSHING!

[@billyrobertson5213]

Exactly max is anomaly top 5 in any pro race is something to be proud of

[@qaywsxefb]

You are just insane and also insanely passionate. Somehow, being one of your financial supporters makes me feel closer than ever to your racing career. Also the filming which takes up a big chunk of your budget is crazy. At least 90% would have said fugg it, i'll race without the cameras, but you go the extra mile, spend the money, invest your time, put yourself under a huge load because you still have to stand in front of the camera while racing the whole day. Anyone would just race in their series and in between the track time they would carefully debrief their sessions or just relax but you still go the extra mile while being one of, if not THE best driver on the grid without experience in this series (and not just that, you are coming from nascar and eurolegend now racing in formula 4 which is almost like 2 different kinds of racing). And now, with your really bad practice sessions, you go Pole, you failed the start you managed to get back to p5, starting in P2 for Race 2. My man, be happy, be proud of yourself you did such an insane job this year already. Appreciate what you got, you went 10 extra miles compared to others and in the end, did really really well. You got that!

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Always such inspiring racing storytelling! Keep going man ❤

[@WarJournalist414]

Brother i work in Formula 2 right now and I see that you got some good pace. The test drivers in our team went from f4 to f2 and he had the same pace as you. You got some potential mate

[@wxyz2589]

30:55 props to that guy for letting you pass

[@Dkieuf1]

Idk about F4 but in F1, there a rule you can only make 1 defensive move with defending so the guy in the video take the left line so he can brake later. If you make 2 moves you'll get a penalty in F1.

[@matejhorak4548]

Mate I have never thought I would love to watch these "lower" series but Your passion and YT channel has made me fall in love with your racing path and I'm extremely drilled to watch more of your content and hope you will make your career better and better with each race. I'm watching your YT channel only for 6 months but your personality and passion is incredible.

[@matiasvillarreal6207]

Dude! You were last and ended p5, that's amazing! Stop being so hard on yourself and be proud!

[@EmmieFloding]

glad you see you're trying so many kinds of cars!

[@charlie-charles]

Exceptional in projecting the beauty and drama of racing! Experience like no other! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 You absolutely crushing it 💪🏽

[@jeffstaples347]

Dude this is awesome to watch. I wish every F1 driver ran a KZbin channel like you do. Keep pushing!! From Portland Oregon

[@benzina5917]

Standing starts in single seaters are very difficult to get right and they take practice. You are very lucky that you were not collected at the start and I am sure you'll get the hang of launching these machines. Also the editing on this video was excellent. The inclusion of the discussion with Luca added a fantastic dimension to the production. Really good work by your team.

[@Poppofski]

Please dont lose your passion for racing trying to Make videos

[@Poppofski]

Felt so bad when you said you felt like you had been at work all day and not driving

[@davideleoni2020]

⁠

[@lock_estunts5685]

Love watching your videos and when you do the corner by corner commentary you have me on the edge of my seat 👍👍👍

[@JohnMelchiorri]

Please keep pushing Alberto, I dont know what I would do without your videos and motivation man!

[@ryuflex8090]

I've already watched the italian video (although I don't speak Italian at all) all I can say is great comeback, really really nice comback

[@willem3456]

That's motorsports mate, well done on the recovery. What a race to get up to p5. Right on the limit.

[@DrexAviation]

So glad this video is finally out!

[@tehcompbuilder]

Fantastic stuff mate, keep it up!

[@jaguatiricaimediata5305]

What a fantastic content! Keep it coming

[@ImLehwz]

Very fun to watch. Thanks for making these!

[@DM-vc6jb]

You gave me a hearth attack for a second when you made that mistake and put the black screen on. I wish you good luck in the new seson and hope it will be the most interesting one to date.

[@ksln]

I actually went "NOO ALBI!" when the rear stepped out and the screen went black.... xD

[@ksln]

Hey there, Albi. Figured I'd drop a few friendly words, but it suddenly turned into quite the rant. Hope it finds you well, if at all. :) TL;DR: I really do appreciate all the effort you put into capturing your driving, but I personally would have been perfectly happy with the backup camera - assuming it's built into the car and/or didn't need all the extra care and attention to pass regulations. :) Following your expressed concerns, I started thinking about what makes me come back to this channel so frequently, and here's my conclusions in reverse order of importance: 3. Your editing style manages to build suspense without exhadurating or relying on excessive use of cheap tricks. Also the way you utilize ambient music is top notch and the tracks aren't cheesy, making the production feel very professional. 2. You don't make any efforts to hide your mistakes, but rather display them in all their glory. 1. To ride along onboard with commentary focusing on what's going on in your head, and what you are trying to achieve while driving (positioning and lines when attacking, etc). To contextualize and hopefully take some of the content creator related pressure off your back: Considering my initial TL;DR, the significant effort put into passing regs while being able to capture, the endless hours spent on editing and so on -- if it means you get to rest more in between your sessions, including your time off-track; I'd be perfectly happy with a bare bones upload of the backup camera with commentary. Or heck, even without commentary as the driving in of itself tends to be exciting enough. xD I'm not here for perfect picture clarity, color grading, bells nor whistles - all that is just a bonus which is appreciated, but not expected from a one-man army with a few support players. :D Keep up the good work, man. It's inspiring and great entertainment.

[@shadeburst]

This video has an extra purpose, to sell to potential sponsors. It has to be of the highest standard. If I had the money and a product or service to sell, I would want my sticker on the Harp cars!

[@Imotopilot]

Tough start but you have the rest of the season to shine. Cheers from Texas!

[@IanNubbit]

Driving 2 COMPLETELY different handling cars is wild to do back to back. Props to you

[@WA-Racing]

Its encouraging to know that people around my age are making debuts in car racing series. Hoping I can have a go someday.

[@bosse-1760]

I got really worried in the start of the race I was sure you were going to be hit. But you were lucky. Incredible racing anyways. You are a true racer

[@theroyalbureau]

New follower from Wisconsin (home to Road America). Awesome video. I love the turn-by-turn narration.

[@jaguatiricaimediata5305]

If he is so much faster on the straights but slower on the corners and braking, it's possible he is going with a very low drag setup. Less downforce, so he can't take the turns with as much grip as you, but he doesn't have as much air resistance when he is accelerating.

[@DART_77]

FXXK ! That's what I screamed when the start was messed up. Fortunately you was able to recover slightely. I know what you mean by doing everything on your own : racing, fixing, filming, commenting... I am doing as well, but on a lower scale 😂. I can't wait for the rest of the Season. Vai Vai Vai avanti

[@rubiksmaster-ks3ut]

bro do not apologize for not winning. it's not about how you finish, it's about the process that got you to where you are. 9 PASSES TO GET FROM LAST ALL THE WAY UP TO P5. THAT'S FUCKING AMAZING DAWG

[@goncalorosa5963]

Lets goooo! Heads up and focus! We'll be here

[@max44.v]

Hope after so,e year I will be supporting him in f1

[@colossae3241]

I still can't believe how big sponser still can't see you as a good product to go professional racing. You have a good raw driving talent and you also know how to market yourself through the video you make. Also alot of people are following you. For a brand to sponsor you it will be a massive benefit for there marketing strategy. What ever happed, we'll here to support you sir.

[@ronaldvanas9492]

And having his YT channel is good branding for him and for a future sponsor, they can see his raw talent and they now have more than one way to advertise their product/service to help him afford racing

[@scoptimizations]

Feels like the new anime called: overtake. Same situation and same series. Funny coincidence. Wish you all the best for this journey!

[@Mauriibor1]

Great Job Alberto! keep pushing hard. Greetings from Argentina.

[@RacersRushCars]

Dont feel bad about the start, at least we saw some great overtakes!

[@C42ST3N]

I was working as a race engineer in F4 Germany with those cars for a while. Nice to see you are back in a formula car.

[@jessebannasch5410]

Lets gooooo Alberto bravissimo!!!!

[@master-de-la-turbo3394]

so many up and downs XD great race, great video, very entertaining to watch, ty for that

[@BrianVeliano]

From an Australian-german-salvadoran driver keep it up your outstanding

[@charlieallen5979]

please can we all keep this man in motorsport for as long as possible. I saw him at Brands Hatch last year and have looked up to him ever since, lets do everything to keep him in this

[@live4life767]

Bravo Albi forza testa in alto hai tutta la stagione d’avanti a te! Un tifoso nato in America ma discendenza italiana ed anche vissuto in Italia 🇮🇹🇺🇸🏁😁👍🏼

[@5DNL5]

never thought one guy could make my day by simply uploading his life

[@SyprasKill]

You are so lucky! I hope you live your life to the fullest because you are so inspiring.

[@BRIANumber7-RCandModels]

Kind of reminds me of my first ever real motorsport race (125cc TAG kart). I had to start from the back but was P3 by the time the checkered flag was waved. Never raced in real life before, but was an amazing experience nonetheless! Besides whatever happened during the standing start, you definitely got the craft down! Good luck out there!

[@InsertYourself1]

if they're pulling away on the straights and you're catching up in the corners it could be a difference in downforce levels

[@Daisy-ns2xn]

You are a inspiration, Bello

[@СамуилПетков-ш3р]

Such a talented driver, sig you the best! 👏

[@Recon6delta]

Love the videos man. I’m a huge fan. Good luck with everything you do this year.

[@skaterboy708]

Rooting for you bud. Greetings from America! 🇺🇸

[@ricardotovarsoto7834]

Very inspiring yoiur debut in F4. You did your best and I enjoy your video.

[@GT4Race]

Great performance and video 👍👍 Keep improving, but don’t crash, you’re clearly very fast ⏱️

[@dougy_junioryt1586]

great video and loved the inspiration im very happy for you again

[@TheHabz]

You can be upset but you made up 9 positions after a terrible start, that was one hell of a drive!!! Champion level driving! Love from Australia!!!

[@sempreverde7462]

Hi naska i just learnt that you have an english channel and i gotta tell you that you speak EN with no problem if i wouldn't have known you are italian i wouldn't have recognized that you are acctually one of us congrats💪👍👍

[@spring_shadow]

Happy to see you in my recommended frequently again

[@jacklooney1572]

Five overtakes in the first lap is insane

[@kennyleong5618]

patience play and amazing overtakes

[@peterc.4638]

incredible video, thanks for sharing, wish you all the best for the next race💪💪💪

[@stephencalvert6040]

great driving. Although it goes to prove that the higher you go up the ladder doesnt mean the drivers get better,. u are great btw and made it look easy

[@rockerrohan5445]

We need to support this

[@23basix]

things happen bro.u did a really good job bro,keep it up,i wish one day to race formula 4 cars aswell

[@jdubz22]

Respect to the Harp Racing guys, racing might need a financial foundation, but all the beams are made out of passion.

[@williamthenoah5277]

You got this, you’re living all of our dreams

[@kartmangillard]

How are you so fast with so much steering input. You have a special talent. Congrats

[@vetteltuna1716]

The quality of these videos are insanse

[@squarex8659]

Yeah, like the video game.

[@MrKiruliS]

ready to watch! good luck in f4 car

[@shadeburst]

What a professional video! Max didn't win his first race in Formula One, now look at him!

[@Nosypoke]

I can’t wait to see you in F1!

[@itshappening100]

Donated 💪💪 good luck Naska

[@anthonyhuffman1069]

Keep digging! Just cause your a little rusty at the standing starts does not mean you can't do them. Be confident in your abilities as a driver. It's more than half the battle in any racing series.

[@stepestrella]

been watching since motorcycles content, always best story telling on your videos

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

That comeback was nuts.

[@thua3761]

why is the throttle data always stuck at 97 and never goes too 100 like 33:57

[@luclucas135]

Super comments, very entertaning !

[@Roguescienceguy]

Alberto is playing Codemasters Racing driver career mode in real life. He even looks like the generic racing driver from the game. Blue eyes, handsome devil and does his own strategy😂

[@jaguatiricaimediata5305]

Could you also post a version with just natural sounds (no comments). I like the comments but I'd like to rewatch it with just sounds

[@orpaztron]

Alberto, you did great. I think if you're faster than the rest by more than a second per lap, you should consider judiciously jumping and overtaking if necessary later on.

[@bagas91919]

The great side of his video is always making the tense in every single race (even its ended badly), it always rough, its like a scripted movie hahaha

[@Rayyy_ZackTv]

Remember me when you’re a star f1 driver!! Great video!

[@Abby-be8ms]

p14 to p5 is still pretty insane, no need to be sorry you did wonderful

[@arshvindersingh9218]

Hello Naska sir, good to see youbin F4. """I am not sure but see some of the Wiggles in your front left tyre while steer i feel like might be play or some freeness in **Him joints/Arms Ball joint** . Apart from amazing race i believe that you are a winner. Lots of Love from India 🇮🇳 A fan😊😊

[@iurizex]

even after stalling, he made so many overtakes! Looks like he's playing on easy mode xD

[@d5lebron788]

Very cool video, please do the race 2 video pliiis

[@emenseambush]

Bruh your team could care less about the stall they know they got a driver that has pace and can put it on poll a mistake is a learning tool

[@emenseambush]

God tier man

[@emenesu]

LET'S GOOOO ALBERTOOOO

[@steveindorset]

Great cockup! Great racing! Great comeback! I thought F4 were faster than 180kph?? I thought maybe the top speed would be around 210-225kph??

[@CarloCorvaglia]

34:48 in the main straight with the sleep stream can go faster than 225

[@Potato_boif1]

very cool and good content!

[@fillman86]

sorry you didn't win, but it still looked like a bunch of fun

[@reelmsy3831]

lets go alberto!!1!1!11

[@gbailey7610]

Great stuff

[@triedproven9908]

The good news is you're toying with the field.

[@AndrewMalkin]

I actually prefer when you race from the back. It's more fun to watch

[@tadydrift]

amazing Race, as a fun fact I was actually doing some practice Sessions on Mugello in iRacing yesterday lol

[@kartingkyano1418]

18:25 im Polish

[@nescojoga]

i dont know if you can, but if you could, you should put a pendulum camera like f1 on the car, will be mega

[@loel2312]

Why don't you have tire warmers like with the bikes?

[@enzodeligny17c]

The commentating is amazing 😂
