My favourite fact is about the 1997 European Grand Prix. In qualifying, Jacques Villeneuve set a time of 1:21.072. Michael Schumacher was second with a time of 1:21.072. Heinz-Harald Frentzen was third with a time of, yes, 1:21.072. Top 3 drivers qualified with exactly the same time, down to thousands of a second.

[@godbernaz]

Yeah but they already said back in the days, the counter was not that right like we have today, but still was fun to watch, and Im not saying that didnt happen its like commentators say, gonna be the misterys of f1 due the old tech if they actualy did the same exact timing or not.

Here's a fun fact... During Fernando Alonso's debut season in 2001, the team he drove for (Minardi) was so short-staffed and financially unstable, that he was actively helping the mechanics work on his car... Like we're talking literally helping to take the whole thing apart and put it back together, for pretty much every race!

[@alexardies3171]

@hurrdurr.. Minardi was even allowed to drive with a V10 while every other team had to drive with a V8 later on in that decade. Fernando who was a two time world champion back then joked about it when saying:” why don’t they use Ferrari’s V 12?”

[@Ennui.]

@@alexardies3171 yep, that was Toro Rosso in 2006 (essentially Minardi)... The last F1 car to use a V10, even though they were basically outruled for the 2006 season.

[@alexardies3171]

@@Ennui. was that Toro Rosso? The first one than cuz Minardi was basically a Dallara chassis with a Ford Cosworth engine in the back. I don’t remember, all I know is that it was the last year of Michael Schumacher driving for Ferrari. Kimi took over and became world champion but I didn’t know that Minardi was called Toro Rosso. Thanks for the info. Greetings 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@Ennui.]

@@alexardies3171 Yep, after RedBull bought Jaguar in late 2004, they then bought Minardi in late 2005 as they saw that as an opportunity to have 2 F1 teams on the grid. They renamed Minardi into Toro Rosso (which just means RedBull in Italian lol) Nowadays the team is called Alpha Tauri. So yeah, we technically still have Minardi on the grid...

[@alexardies3171]

@@Ennui. yea when I was 14 I even saw Eddie Irvine on the podium in Monza. The only time he finished third with his Jaguar behind Shumi and Barichello in 2004. I’m Belgian so yes I speak 7 languages, Italian being one of them. I even work for Modena but I didn’t know that RB bought Jag and Minardi. Which is crazy because in 2017 I drove a Minardi on Fiorano!!! It was a Minardi from’89-90 which had the V12 Ferrari engine and o man it was bloody fast! Minardi was always way back on the grid but once upon a time they scored points driving in the midfield with that engine. Crazy story right? But true. Seb Vettel got his first win with a Toro Rosso so no wonder that he ended up winning four titles for RB. A shame that he couldn’t win a title with the Scuderia but Ferrari is known for their merciless behaviour with their drivers. Prost, Mansell, Alezi, Alonso, Seb.. all victims of their ruthlessness. I’m pretty sure that by the end of this season Charles and Carlos are gonna be ready for the mental asylum with all those fuckups in the pits.

[@derheiligespaten435]

I think it is really sad that F1 doesn't race in Germany anymore. It's literally the country the car was invented in and cars are really embedded into the culture. Plus, I live about twenty minutes from the Hockenheimring and I'd really love to see F1 race there again ;)

[@csanadhorvath]

for real, Liberty is killing the sport. you only get into the calendar if you pay enough, and its become a bidding war. obviously Germany, France and Belgium dont want to (and probably CANT) pay as much as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia, China and Las Vegas.

You really need to watch the movie RUSH, it's about the rivalry between Niki Lauda and James Hunt, during the 1976 season. It's based on reality and shows the true characters of 2 of the most iconic F1 drivers of all time (In my opinion). Niki was almost incinerated in a crash at the Nürburgring and the fact he was racing again, weeks later, is sport's biggest comeback story of all time (Again, in my opinion)

My favourite fact is that Hans Heyer is the only driver to get a DNQ, DNF AND DSQ in the same race. Which is the weirdest hat-trick in racing I've ever heard of.

[@evilsocietyHD]

Actually in my opinion the thing that made most people not wanting that much races in the US is because you cant have unlimited races, so you have to cut off some others, and some of them are actually historical F1 racetracks (spa, mugello, monaco, monza, etc, etc) and the idea that some of them might be replaced one day, for business purposes is what makes people kinda hesitant about this.

[@magnusmikkelsen539]

There is a F1 movie you need to see. It's called rush, and it's about two hard-core rivals, James hunt and Nicci lauda. It's amazing.

[@dominikbleuel4163]

The alonso technique blew my mind when someone pointed that out to me Back in the day the tires were extremely diffrent than today These had way less grip and it was hard to keep the temperatures up during a race This was due to regulations So alonso just entered corners extremely aggressive forcing the car to understeer on corner entry Something you usually dont want But this resulted in heating up the front tires in the corner wich generated grip that he used to get through the corner It made him faster than anyone

[@BurgoYT]

That’s so smart wtf

[@francescoferro9885]

You should look into Valentino Rossi’s career! He’s been the image of MotoGP for years and has now starter his car racing career, now competing in GT cars! He’s an Italian hero and quite the character!

[@MrJasperdeKnegt]

I second that 👍

[@mbochum83]

13:05 Alonso would oversteer into corners to heat up the front tires which provided better grip through the middle and exit of corners. This was when teams could only use 1 set of tires during a race so the durability wasn't an issue.

[@counterfit5]

Understeer. He just prefers that as the overall balance of the car even now.

[@mbochum83]

@@counterfit5 He would oversteer by turning the wheel too far, causing the car to understeer. And drivers can't get away with this now due to the lack of tire durability.

[@serialkorner]

As a french fan born 1987 and remembering races since 1993, I do appreciate your point with too many races being held in the US. You may know there are fewer and fewer races in Europe, with races like France, Belgium, Italy or Monaco being questionned because they don't offer as much money as US or Barhain or Saudi Arabia to hold a race. And I truly think that's for shame. The sport was born in Europe and was always meant to be a worldwide show, but things are getting out of hand because of money, and forgetting the fans are not only where the cash is !

[@FormulaKimball]

You MUST check out F1 Adelaide 1986 Johnny Dumfries OnBoard - the V6 engines back then sounded so awesome, and the shifts are so quick (with an old school h-pattern), and the track layout is really cool. My first ever F1 race I saw on TV was 1985 Adelaide, what fun that was!

Considering the US place in F1, I'm of course glad US get to enjoy Formula 1 but I also find it unfair that the number of races their is done at the expense of other Grand Prix. I'm of course biased because next year I'm losing my home Grand Prix in France and it will probably alternate with Spa going forward, I'm quite upset about that.

[@triplemoyagames4195]

Yeah, like I guess one big reason is the sheer size of the US.However it is getting borderline ridiculous if one nation has three, as there only 23 races so it doesn't make that 13% percent of the calendar is one country, since there only 21 countries in the calender

The Ferrari F2004 was the ultimate beast ... and it drove on grooved tyres back then, so it could go faster with slicks ... maybe even faster than modern F1, more topspeed for sure. Those V10 engines were brutal

[@AndorFazekas]

My facts: 1.The strongest natural aspirated engine is the ~2005 V10 engines. 900-1000HP and 19000rpm, this means the engine every single cylinders move up and down 316 times in one second. 2. In the 80s (mostly 1985-1986), turbo engines were timed at 5.5bar turbo pressure. This was achieved with a larger twin turbo kit and special super-soft tyres. Engines were 1.5L V6 or I4, the most powerful was the BMW engine, which had 1400 hp and was I4 only. These engines only lasted a few laps, after which either the cylinder or the turbo melted. 3. The qualify tyre was so soft that when the driver returned to the pits, the mechanics had to water the ground in the garage because the tyre was sticking to the ground. Qualify from the 80s Adelaide with BMW 1.5L I4...the strongest engine...and huge turbo lag kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6WXqpl-m7mZetU

About the number or races in a single country. Historically, in Italy there were different tracks over the decades, but 2 are the "classic" ones: Monza and Imola. For years, Monza was the Italian Grand Prix and Imola was the San Marino Grand Prix (San Marino is a little State inside Italy, like the Monaco Principate in France). Imola is an Italian city of Emilia-Romagna near San Marino, so its GP was held there. In Italy today we have 4 tracks able to host a F1 race: Monza, Imola, Mugello and Fiorano. The last is a little circuit of Ferrari, near its offices and production area in Emilia-Romagna, so it couldn't realistically held a GP even if it's omologated for F1 for obvious reasons of Ferrari. Mugello is a circuit classic for the MotoGP calendar and it's also a property of Ferrari in Tuscany. For years though the only Italian GP was Monza, because the San Marino GP doesn't exist anymore. Things changed in 2020, due to the F1 calendar changes for the covid pandemic. In that year, in Italy we had 3 F1 GP: Monza (Italian GP), Imola ("Emilia-Romagna and Made in Italy GP"), Mugello ("Tuscany GP"). Since 2021 in Italy we have 2 F1 GP, Monza (Italian GP) and Imola (Emilia-Romagna GP).

The Targa Florio is still fully driveable. I don't know how much of the Battenbergring still exists. Or take a look at the old Spa they used till the 70's. There is so much out of there. I loved seeing this videos and then happily found downloads for Assetto Corsa and can drive them, closely to how it felt, to race on it.

7:40 NASCAR does actually have a European series since 2009 (which currently only runs road courses, though has run 2 different ovals in the past), a Canadian series since 2007, and a Mexican series since 2004. They're all separate competitions, though.

Perspective is a great channel! Well worth following if you love F1

Lewis wants the 8th or he will sit in the shadow of MS forever. Probably the only thing that keeps him driving right now.

[@lalalittle3900]

IMO he will never sit in the shadow of anyone. There are other drivers that have the same amount of titles as one another. No one is sitting in anyone's shadow. MS set his records during his time, and Lewis has set his records during his era. Does he want that 8th? Yes, I'm sure he does, and I hope he has the car to fight for it next year. This year is pretty much wrapped up by Max. I just wish it had been a more exciting season. I thought at the beginning it would go down to the wire with Ferrari, but they have been a bit disappointing to say the least.

[@dfg12382]

@@lalalittle3900 No doubt, Lewis is one of the best. But in his mind he's just the 2nd driver to get 7 titles. To break a record, you have to one up it, a tie isn't enough. And in my mind, that's his #1 motivation to keep driving right now.

[@lalalittle3900]

@@dfg12382 I get what you're saying. I want him to get the 8th as well, and hopefully Merc will give him a car that gives him a chance to do it.

To be fair, the US is such a big country that we can hold multiple grand prix’s in totally different areas. Miami by the coast, Austin in the south, Las Vegas in the desert city. There could be even more tbh

[@razvanmazilu6284]

Regarding Adelaide: look up the 1986 Australian Grand Prix. Crazy title deciding race.

[@paulcraig1943]

In 2004 Schumacher won 13 of the 18 races that year, it was also his last world drivers title.

[@FormulaPenguin483]

If you like old tracks out of use, I suggest Solitude in Germany(currently an actual road) and Clermont-Ferrand in France. The latter also has some history from the 70s.

[@abramcastillo4121]

Actually the US has been apart of F1 sense 1908, but it wasn’t just in circuit of the Americas because you also had for example in 2007 with the US Grand Prix being held on the famous indi500 track using the infield portion of the circuit.

[@deterrentdubz9116]

you're definitely right in saying MotoGP is the F1 of motorcycle racing. The Isle of Mann TT race is the pinnacle of motorcycle racing though.

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

f1 had 3 races per season in the 1980s too. I don't think it's crazy since it's a huge country. Though I do not want historic circuits to be removed either. There is a clear happy medium to be found.

[@Parax77]

In the olden days Circuits used to be much much longer.. like Pescara at 25km or le mans at 14km. now spa is the longest remaining circuit.. long circuits are not good for grandstand spectating or the number of TV cameras required.. in the 80's and 90's they used to have to rely on helicopters to get TV coverage of the "forest sections" of Hockenheim and spa..

[@Kris_T_]

I'm a Brit, and I have no problem with 3 USA races. Take the Euro leg for example, we have Silverstone (UK), Paul Ricard (France), Spa (Belguim), Zandvoort (Netherlands), Monaco etc. and all these circuits are within a day's drive of eachother. It's much easier on the logistics teams, compared to 'fly away' races. And it gives spectators options. Thousands of brits attend European races, Spa is particularly popular with uk f1 fans. So given the size of America, having flown the entire circus over the pond, it makes sense to have a few races. To give the teams a break from international flying (& jetlag), and to give more American fans access to races. If you live in Maine or Washington, it's a long way to COTA in Texas.

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

1986 Australian GP at Adelaide was the craziest season ender (well at least untill last season), please watch teh highlights, it was the perfect end to a great season.

[@БорисМарков-ы8ф]

how is Nigel Mansell not winning the championship because his tyre blew a perfect end of the season?

[@RamaAlonso]

You should see more of Fangio's history !

[@mattyt5605]

Regarding Lewis Hamilton, a lot of this year's performance is on the car. Mercedes was really struggling with the new regulations at the start of the year, but they seemed to have really turned the corner. Lewis should be back in title contention next year. And I'm saying this while not being a Hamilton fan.

[@danieloszyi9734]

Love your videos!!! You should check for - "Lewis Hamilton summing his Qualy up, his eyes got wide open when F1 V10 sound blasted past behind" - it's so funny to see his reaction to an older F1 V10 car instead of the V6 hybrids today. keep it up and enjoy :)

[@jok3r906]

Adelaide, Laguna Seca, Nurinburg ring (if you aren't afraid of a sadder video) are just a few tracks

[@dacartrainguy]

About the fact of the Nascar, there's also the european championship of Nascar, named EuroNascar... They have the same rules of the american Nascar, but the cars have slightly smaller engine, still V8, and they're setup to make corners way better than the american Nascar's cars

[@foyorama]

If you go to a race go to Melbourne, you go to Australia and F1 at the same time…. You will love it for sure…. We did it in 2005

[@crusherbmx]

My favourite F1 fact, mainly because no one seems to realize it, is that nobody has a 3 championship streak. There are lots of 2 title streaks, three 4 title streaks and one 5 title streak....so if Max wins the title in 2023, he's statistically more likely to win again in 2024 than any one else.

[@djambush360]

7:22 when they start in Vegas they will cut one race out in the US. I personally think 2 races in the US are ok. There where times when there where 2 races in Germany (Hockenheim, Nürnburgring) but one of these was was then the Grand Price of Luxembourg.

[@YsrMahmoodVlogs]

@iwrocker the way they managed to have 3 grand prixs is that F1 is owned by liberty group which is an American company, hope that helps.

[@Suspect333]

Considering they're thinking of not having Spa anymore 3 races in the US sucks.

[@DanielOliveira-ju3zx]

Spa is confirmed for 2023,Paul Ricard is leaving apparently but no Kyalami and no Hockenheim/Nurburgring pisses me off

[@nelsondawson9706]

TBH I don't think Vegas will work. And the rivalry between Lauda and Hunt I heard was awesome

[@oidciao9540]

lovin'you but need to inform u that's actually it exists European nascar which not only rides into circles like circuit,but even into sum F1 circuits and it pretty exciting

[@rickym5474]

Barrichello was 100% championship material and showed us glimpses of his potential constantly during his career. The only person who really stopped that from happening was Schumacher who was the golden boy at Ferrari. If he was signed to Ferrari a year earlier and Irvine was given the flick I reckon he could've won the '99 championship.

[@danigonzalez4299]

He was not.
