that 2005 suzuka pass on turn 1 by raikkonen is even more amazing in this case since it's probably the win that brings him above alonso on points, unless i'm wrong on how the point system works.

@@razpberry5169 Except the FIA kept the drivers fight alive and removed them from the constructors instead. Your post is actually absurd, it would require a secret deal, and dozens if not hundreds of people, including the two drivers, to be aware and consciously throw a championship without ever once coming out about it. It's been 15 years, SOMEBODY at McLaren would've spoken out. What actually happened is the truth, Alonso and Hamilton just lost, despite driving a faster (illegal) car.

[@Vorgaloth]

What if a whole new racing series took the best aspects of F1 over the last 4 decades with the primary emphasis on who is the best driver as opposed to the team with the most money and political power? Beautiful smaller, lighter cars with iconic livery, simple aero and cars matched to equal performance for very close competitive racing, roaring, screaming V8, V10 and V12 engines for the diversity of glorious noise, you could tell which car was coming around the corner, back to analogue cars with a manual transmission (camera in cockpit to watch the footwork), no power steering, tyres that are optimized for performance and longevity and tyres specifically for qualifying. Think of the violent onboard footage of Senna in his MP4/6 but with hi-def audio and 4k resolution. Screaming V12 with his head bouncing all over the cockpit trying to tame the beast. Also his and Mansell's qualifying footage at Silverstone 1991. Sparks flying, the cars were so alive. Unfortunately just a pipe dream but if such a series miraculously came to fruition I think it would explode with success. Senna on increasing technology: "The machines have taken away the character and it is the character that the sponsors and public are looking for. At the top, you have a few characters of conflicting personality; the rest, without good results, don't have any credibility. We must reduce costs so that we return to an era where the emphasis is on people not computers." On computers in F1 cars: "I want to be challenged by my own limits and by someone who is made of the same skin and bone and where the difference is between brain and experience and adaptation to the course. I do not want to be challenged by someone else's computer. If I give 100% to my driving, which is my hobby as well as my profession, I can compete with anyone, but not computers."

[@firefoxmarbleguy1173]

Man great video but you gotta give that one fastest lap point to Mazepin

[@miklosgyetvai1966]

How did Verstappen and Hamilton both score more points than Red Bull and Mercedes in 2021? That wouldn't make sense. I believe there might be a miscalculation there somewhere

[@claycopter]

This happened in several seasons, you just cherry picked the most recent one. The reason is that the constructors' standings also took a team's best 70% of their results (the position of their highest finisher), but not the fastest laps, while the drivers did take the fastest laps. Then you end up with situations where if one single driver is the highest finisher for that team most of the time, and that driver also scores a few fastest laps, he'd score more points than the team.

[@Claggyt]

Excellent video. If Senna is generally considered as the best of all time (only rivalled by Schumacher and Hamilton) then Prost beat him in the two seasons they drove together at McLaren in 1988 and 1989. Prost is far too easily overlooked in the "best of all time" conversation.

[@WolfeN-]

Prost didnt beat Senna in 88, Senna uses the Victories factor as strategy, he Said on Interview in Begin of 1991 Season (First without the best results system) that now, he could Focus on make points and not necessary pursuit only victories. In 89 Prost won, but he never complete a race infront of Senna, when they finish without problems.

[@corpsecoder_nw6746]

wow I thought Sebastian Vettel would lose 2010 and 2012.....he was cookin then considering the number of mechanical failures, pit stop blunders (only one or two but they cost big points) that he suffered from. Not to mention 2012 McLaren was actually tied for fastest car that year, getting so many wins and poles (more than Red Bull and RB8 only became the quickest on par with McLaren after the summer break).

[@isthatrubble]

I know you've done a bunch of these so you're probably sick of them! but have you ever done the calculations for what would change if the points each race stayed the same each year as in reality, but how many races counted for the championships was different (all, or keeping the original system from the first years). I wonder if the constructor's titles from the years only the best result per race counted would be seriously changed, considering some constructors entered way more cars than others. I also wonder what kind of results we'd get if there was a seperate title for engine suppliers. like, in years where the DFV was used by many teams but didn't win the championship, would any of the winning engines be able to "beat" the DFV's combined results? I'm guessing not, if it was a close championship and both 2nd and 3rd place teams used the DFV, but maybe I'm wrong.
