Jochen Rindt was laying in a coffin when he clinched his title, I think that was crazier.

[@eloicpotel7272]

Dude, Jochen Rindt was 6 feet under when the won his title. How crazy is that

[@yellowflag9945]

Ah yes, the man who left the italian gp to get fuel for his car. Jack brabham was great

[@MattGoelz]

Jochen Rindt is by far the craziest. This might be a good runner up though

[@billylawuk]

I would also say winning the championship while being dead is up there too (Jochen Rindt)

[@RJSRdg]

Then, as now, the race ended when the winner crossed the line. Any cars on the same lap as the winner were allowed to complete the race, lapped cars would only complete the lap they were on. As McLaren, Trintignan, Brooks, and Brabham were the only cars not to be lapped, it wouldn't have mattered how long it took Brabham to push the car over the line - had it taken half an hour, he would still have been 4th. Indeed, had he abandoned the car and gone for a lemonade, he would also have been 4th. Pushing the car over the line made no difference either to the race result or to the championship.

Something crazier can still happen: Valtteri, it's James. We need you to push Lewis's car across the line.

The aussiest way to win a world title

I'm truly amazed at all of the live period footage you found for this Matt, especially that of Brooks being taken out by his teammate! Great video.

[@DaniMacYo]

Jack Brabham pushing his car over the line is true Aussie Grit.

Ham & Ver crash some more, get dsq from the Championship like Schumi did 1997 and Lando wins WDC without a single win! (Heard it here first)

[@naomorra]

You guys should make a video about Jochen Rindt. I mean, what happened after he died? How was the celebration of his championship? How was his funeral?

[@T0nit0]

Jack Brabham,

[@AudreyH48]

What a Legend. The good old days of do what it takes to win. Love that era of F1.

[@yuvals7596]

Sad Jochen Rindt Noises

[@petiertje]

Crazier finish to a championship would be:

[@colethebowl2994]

love the fact that 2 minute repairs have a nascar gif with it

[@DanialStreetFighter]

All you can say is massive respect to Brabham!

[@chuala428]

Jochen Rindt was not even racing when he won the title

[@TomasTots]

Max and Lewis go to the final race and crash on the final lap, with both losing one wheel and racing on 3 wheels for the finish
