Narain Karthikeyan: The Fastest Cucumber in the World

[@PeterBrookF1]

Please excuse the FOM-induced cut during Malaysia 2012...

[@TheShockninja]

the first foreign born driver to win Most Popular Driver Award on NASCAR Trucks in 2010.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

Probably the best historian of F1 information on tv today.

[@mrkipling2201]

I have to disagree. Its much better than what's on TV today!!

[@tomw7367]

If homologation is successful, Buddh will be used as a MotoGP track next year! I know videos on series as a whole isn’t something you’ve done, but a video on A1GP would be fun I think. Was a great concept for a series imo

[@whyareyoureadingmynickname8158]

I remember liking Karthikeyan back in 2005, partly because he was the first Indian driver and partly because I was Jordan fan. Also, not really related, but that "idiot and cucumber" part shows how much has Vettel matured as a person from his Red Bull days. He went from being completely unlikeable twat to being one of the coolest guys in F1. Kinda amazing, honestly.

[@Creeper-ve3jy]

Fun fact:in the 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix,after Rosberg crashed into Karthikeyan,they were both seen casually chatting as they headed to the pit lane,a moment of sportsmanship.

[@issammelzi728]

Yeah I think rosberg was understanding after learning the reason for the crash was nareen getting scared due to a steering failure in the fast corner therefore slamming the brakes causing the crash

[@leewat9068]

I was in Zhuhai and saw Narain winning in A1 back in 2007, great memories

[@misteryorkie8674]

I definitely enjoy the long in depth videos. Thanks again!

[@bigmystake4747]

Such a good quality video 😭😭 deserves more views fr

[@abhijitkalita6931]

Thank you for this video. Love from India 💓

[@mrbeschissen6690]

Great video as always 😊

[@fabriciorosso9807]

The legendary cucumber!. Great video btw.

[@VonBlade]

Sato, Pizzonia, Bruni, Karthikeyan. It's safe to say that wasn't a golden era in the lower formulae.

[@gonnaleaveamark]

Well, at least Sato wasn't the worst of his country in that era. Yuji Ide, well...

[@whyareyoureadingmynickname8158]

Sato was OK when he wasn't crashing, even managed to get 1 podium in 2004. But yes, there were a lot of dunces in F1 at that time.

[@dorkynerd3957]

Great idea for a video mate 👍

[@Parvician]

I am a huge Narain Karthikeyan fan, I love watching videos like this! Great video.

[@marktucker208]

I think he was actually pretty decent, perhaps not in F1 because of his cars but in other series he was solid enough

[@1989SupraGuyFIN]

I actually kinda liked HRT's 2012 livery quite a lot. Otherwise, there's not really that much good to say in said team. Was always the biggest joke out of all new teams, that joined in 2010.

[@mrkipling2201]

So he raced for Hormone Replacement Therapy, who ultimately said Tata.......

[@christendombaffler]

I sometimes wish Vettel still had that ruthless streak he once did. For all the good that he did elsewhere, Karthikeyan really was an idiot and he made even Max Chilton look like a world beater. I do not miss him in the slightest.

[@grahammc3189]

Fantastic video...really interesting and very enlightening.

Lmao Formula Rally, that'd be sick. Imagine an F1 car with snow tires, now that'd be fun

[@georgetownsend6630]

Complete lunacy. There is no 'ground' to speak of... And do you want drivers to get snow blindness? On top of an autopsy for a handful of them...

please let atleast antartica aloof from pollution

[@johnvandeventer8668]

Great video

[@KimiFan2002]

15:07 Highest? Didn’t know that Karthikayen was the only driver to win a race😂😂

[@neild4451]

At 15:30 , "he crashed in practice and failed to qualify but in the race finished 17th" , very confusing information.

[@Alonso21.]

I never liked him, not much talent and unlikeable personality for me, but thanks for the another good video, we love the long videos 👍

[@noahdommaschk]

can't help but wonder, but does cucumber come from the german term "gurke" which means cucumber and is what we say when something is really slow?

[@PeterBrookF1]

Yes that's what it was!

[@noahdommaschk]

@@PeterBrookF1 ok hahaha I find that hilarious that I can now say that in english as well as in german when talking about F1

[@kimifan06]

I love Jordan, but man, I didn't realize how unreliable those cars really were.

[@nullc0ntext]

"First dark-skinned Forumula 1 driver" Oh this ends well. Honestly this guy was a complete tool and less qualified than Karun Chandrok to set lap times.

[@Sidgeee]

THAT TITLE. Girls would love that 🤣

Summary "One time he almost didn't finish last". 29 minutes is about 26 minutes too long for this guy. Admit it you are pandering to the Indian market to get views.

People like you are the reason why shallow fast content is the status quo on youtube instead of in depth videos with actual substance.

[@paulsontag9233]

@@ihavewaited90daystochangem51 I love long videos more than short ones. Not everyone merits a lengthy exposé though.
