The biggest missed story of drive to survive. Like seriously, this was a massive turning point which would have made an exciting episode

[@babelaszombie]

DTS being a Netflix property, I believe they felt obligated to push exposure for Perez and Racing point(The Strolls) as North American entities. It was truly a shame that Williams didn't have a crew at that race, but I do believe that they will be watching him closely in 2021.

[@deliberation6022]

Due to Covid restrictions there were only 2 Netflix teams assigned each race. And once they were with a team they were completely stuck with that team and werent allowed to move around etc. Mercedes didn't have a team so there was basically no footage behind the scenes so it wouldve been a little hard. Plus it being Sergio and Racing Point first ever race win from last place no less its understandable.

[@deliberation6022]

@A Z I think if they do that to the extreme they will probably make people dislike Russel. Because Russell may be better than him in some ways but it isn’t to the point that Bottas is literal garbage.

[@deliberation6022]

@A Z ah okok, I thought they were going to show his failure out of context while also showing George’s successes to try and show that George was succeeded while bottas wasnt. But if they just do a full on bottas fails compilation without any successes then they will probably just make people who follow f1 annoyed/angry

[@anthonyritchie5128]

Even as much as DtS manufactures controversy for the sake of compelling story lines..I have to agree with you. With George essentially a shoe-in at this point for replacing Bottas, this was a serious missed opportunity for Netflix to capitalize on an ongoing story line and create a little cross-season character development. If they really didn't include this moment because of COVID restrictions, then they've got to be kicking themselves for not scheduling a crew to be with Mercedes this weekend.

@@shodore Well it took only 4 races for Max to win his first race with Red Bull. Granted 4 races is a lot more than 1, but what if George is genuinely talented like Max. Also, George has been testing for Mercedes since 2017, so it's not like he was driving a Mercedes for the first time. Moreover, the 2020 Mercedes W11 EQ is considered to be the fastest car in the history of the sport, so no wonder he was able to overtake the drivers with such ease. The perfect combination of a dominant car and a skillful driver always produces the ideal team. We saw it with Michael Schumacher and Ferrari; Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull; we still see it with Lewis and Mercedes. And if you question the skill of a driver who drives a fast car, well that's just dumb. People used to question Vettel all the time back when he won 4 consecutive titles and now people praise him for the talent and skill he portrayed while at Red Bull.

8:25 If a Williams driver immediately wins after being put in the fastest car on the grid, lots of questions arise. How is the car so fast? Are Merc actually following the rules? Where exactly is their extra speed coming from? George is a talented driver, but so are most of the people on the grid. How many of them could win in Hamilton's car? Probably most of them. Merc doesn't want those questions, because they are cheating. Ferrari was caught cheating in 2019. It does happen. This is not a conspiracy. If one team was caught cheating, another could be cheating as well.

[@TheAdamwalters]

I don’t think they are cheating they just have a vastly superior car but that takes away from Lewis and he is their golden child

[@sadesekoni1231]

I think it’s more of a money thing… we all know Lewis brings the most money in for Mercedes due to his championships as well as capitalising on him being Black (which he should do)… so it’s likely they aren’t cheating but are able to afford the best of the best for their cars 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

[@matteomolinari77]

@@TheAdamwalters nobody cheats and also everybody cheats in formula 1 and every other motorsport, tenth of seconds are found in the grey areas of the rules. The ferrari situation was just one instance of many where a team found a way to get around a loose regulation of fuel flux and since this was giving them a significant advantage in term of top speed they got reprimanded. Another example is DAS where the rules said the front wheels must be only controlled by the steering wheel but didn't specify which kind of movement, however there wasn't enough advantage to be gain to call for a penalty... yet. the bottom line is that none of the car on the grid are strictly speaking "legal", and they shouldn't be since this sport drives innovation in automotive engineering.

[@ivailok3376]

Since we're talking about conspiracies, here's mine (tinfoil hat on): Lewis was watching the race from wherever he was back then and saw that Russell was proving to everyone that it was he was on par with him in terms of pace and racecraft, so he called Toto to screw up Russell's race to not embarrass Hamilton. Judging by 2007 Hamilton and 2016 Hamilton such a thing was entirely possible, especially when this year he said that he wants Bottas as a teammate as part of his contract negotiations. My theory is that he's afraid of Russell and doesn't want Rosberg-like competition, so that's why he sabotaged Russell's race. *tinfoil hat off*

[@sacredheart9053]

I can totally believe this. Hamilton probably threatened Toto. Now they're getting revenge on Lewis.

[@CC-dd6fm]

I think that’s very likely as Mercedes are also protecting their brand. I think they expected Russell to end up around Alex Alvin, but he pretty much proved that a lot of what makes Lewis so formidable is his car.

[@chickenchomper69]

[@DarrylHart]

That's exactly what happened

[@Pugritto]

My thoughts exactly

[@PiousMoltar]

The main reason I don't believe this, is that George still proved how good he was, so it's still just as embarrassing for Lewis and Valtteri. Everyone knows he should have won the race, or at least still a podium, even after the pitstop tyre mistake.

[@MENQN]

He needed luck not skills that's all it proved for George Russell as he is hopeless in a Mercedes and A Williams also 😭

[@navykip]

George proving himself capable was the only thing that could benefit Mercedes. They got confirmation that he could drive the car well. Him winning would draw to much attention to how much better the car was, and would diminish Lewis and Bottas’ public appearance.

[@MarshallGA12]

I think Mercedes wanted help to Racing Point finish 3rd in constructors championship and maybe that is the real reason why Hamilton not started, because he does not want to loose on purpose... It looks like Williams also helped with safety cars... Aitken's crash looked so fake - full gas immediately after gear shifting when he was off the track - no profi driver would normaly do that

[@arkangelgaming35]

Yeah, I think the tyre mix-up was real but the puncture, no. Drivers can feel punctures in all forms because the integrity of the car begins to diminish. Lewis was a 7 time champion and Mercedes dominated the Constructors and Mercedes had an opportunity to test a Williams driver and without any risk.

[@dorabora2936]

Now I wanna start this off by saying I have no problem with the video. It’s fun to theorise about this kind of stuff and I think the video was well made too. I have no issue with someone having fun with the idea. *however* to anyone who actually believes they intentionally did this, just no. It would make absolutely no sense for them to do this. For starters, anyone who knows a thing about F1 would be able to see Russell’s clear pace despite the result, everyone knows he would have won the race without that puncture. They would gain *nothing* by ending his race. Secondly, if they really did want to hide that true pace of the car, why Russell? He was an F2 and GP3 champ in his rookie season of each and had put some incredible performances in at Williams. Everyone could clearly see he was a future star, and getting him from Williams would have cost Merc a very large amount of money too. Compare that to Vandoorne, he was Medcedes’ official test and reserve driver, he was at the track, and he’s nowhere near as quick as George. If they wanted Hamilton’s replacement to have a bad result, they should have took Vandoorne instead of Russell. Everyone at Mercedes would know this. The idea that Mercedes would intentionally miss out on points for something that gains them nothing (in fact, does the opposite because it made them look suspicious to conspiracy nuts) is insanely stupid. Nothing here would add up for them to do it intentionally. They lost everything and gained nothing. They had far better ways and choices for getting the outcome you think they wanted. It’s fun to suggest the idea as a joke but you have to be an idiot to actually believe it.

[@JJmoogle]

I think there's the possibility something going on given the contract situation around Lewis at the time, Mercedes had locked themselves in to win by that point so points weren't really an issue. George winning would have exploded into an actual news and media sensation, especially since it was COVID times probably would have mentally fucked Valteri up even more, shagged the team cohesion. Given how it's going for them this season though I reckon it might have been worth a punt on taking the hassle.

Watching this again a year later, the mercedes drive really showed Russell what and how he had to do in williams to change his drive and the team and he proved himselfin Belgium and qualifying over the whole course of 2021.

[@ellaneve1021]

You really did George dirty with that photo choice 3:25

[@BoyFromBelgium99]

*This is my reasoning on why George & Mercedes had an agreement on not to win the race but just do well for the team:* First, they knew Russell wanted to prove himself during the whole weekend for a future Mercedes seat. Already his 2nd place during Qualifying was a huge statement/achievement. A win next to that would say a lot more about the car than the talent of Lewis & Valtteri, which would impact their carreer and the team negatively. Then the crash of Jack Aitkin during the race happened. Jack Aitkin didn't left debris on track, only next to it at the exit of the last corner otherwise the safety car would've probably driven through the pitlane and marshalls would've been seen cleaning up the track. Then there is also the fact that other drivers didn't got any puncture as well because at least some of the other drivers would've used the same exit line as George. Laps after the safety car went in he overtook some cars in order to get to second place and his pace was very clear that he was capable of to winning the race. Then the call suddenly came and it was already very clear that it sounded suspicious. A "genuine" puncture? Just when George was 2nd? Just when George did some laps of overtaking? The flat tyre didn't show flat on-screen during the pit stop? The team that has all the data and the lap data that didn't drop?

[@willjones8849]

Such a good video this will defo be your most viewed very quickly. I’d if when GR63 retires from F1 he reveals it was not a puncture

[@vamsiampolu8438]

I asked Toto Wolff yesterday: "It's Bottas' fault"

[@Dylanf1fan]

Wow an amazing video well done

[@rotorairgroup8409]

Mercedes sold the win to Perez. He was on his 191st race without one and needed to look good to get hired by Red Bull. Force India fired him.

[@MadeByPerspective]

Thank you mate!

[@default123default2]

I thought it was unbelievable till someone pointed out that Merc did NOT need the points. They were already dual champs. They threw the race. Book it.

[@matt-bl4tg]

I’m a big Perez fan so thank god that russel had to pit because then we wouldn’t have gotten that amazing result

Conspiracy IV: The Russian government caused Kubica rally accident: In 2010 Robert Kubica destroyed Vitaly Petrov in the Renault. Vladimir Putin wanted his drivers to look very good to assert dominance over other nations. To stop Petrov from looking bad they placed a Russian doll full of spikes on the apex of the corner that Kubica was going to hit. This was done by placing a Russian spy on the corner and putting the doll there just before Kubica was scheduled to go round. This caused a puncture which caused him to hit the barrier and be forced to take 2011-12 off. Putin was also instrumental for getting Heidfeld out of the seat mid season, which seemed like an odd decision. Heidfeld was the leading Renault driver in the standings, which would have made Petrov look bad. Petrov scored just enough points to surpass Heidfeld's total at the end of the season (even though he had almost double the races of Heidfeld), and saved Russia's motorsport face. Putin then gave up on Petrov after 2011, forcing him into "hiding" at Caterham, while the Russian dictator focused on a new upcoming talent, Daniil Kvyat.

BuzzfeedUnsolved vibe. Love it

[@olderthandirt7023]

I reckon the whole pitting fiasco, was caused by George Russell taking up to much of to the pit wall radio and the pit crew not knowing exactly what to do as a result. George was being coached throughout the race as George really didn't have the experience in that car and George was on the radio far to much. Thats my thoughts on how it all started. As far as the slow leak and Bottas driving on old hard tyres, he didn't have a chance. The whole race was a disaster for Mercedes and then I believe Stoffel should have been behind the wheel instead of George. Anyway, I have had my say. Great channel you have here mate !

[@fazilmuhammed5410]

This is really well done❤

[@FNTM2k3]

I’m glad this series is back.

[@EYS318]

The very fact he was told the word “genuine “ puncture tells us that it wasn’t genuine

[@slaughtercarrie3172]

u did george so dirty with that picture at 3:11 💀

[@danielcena4691]

I was waiting for this one

[@phantommenace4825]

Also Mercedes were saving themselves because even though people knew they had the best car nobody knew by how much because they were using Hamilton to conceal how good the car was. This kept their rivals guessing as to which is which. Russel was destroying that narrative!!

[@MENQN]

Russell only thing he's destroying is The chances of first time ever points for his team. So useless can't extract any points loser 😭

[@BronAsreal]

@@MENQN fake f1 fan here

[@MENQN]

@@BronAsreal Your a fake thinking a no point loser Russell is brilliant hahaha 🤣😂🤣

[@aaronaaronsen3360]

I really like those carbon fiber-tinfoil alloy themed videos.

[@Adreno23421]

Hamilton's dominance ONLY happened because of the car. He would not have won titles in Alfa Romeos, Racing Points, Alpines, Alpha Tauris or Williams. He will again lose this year against Russel. He is not worth the 60m pounds he costs. Literally half the budget for the whole rest of the team, for the cars, for the whole year. Just for him to say "I told you so?" Mercedes should not rehire him next year.

[@anirudhjilla5908]

That DAN TICKTUM bombshell tho!!!!! 🔥 lol 😂

[@emir.e99]

Mercedes Behavior since Monaco 2021 has make me suspicious AF

[@3ddrew691]

Mercedes screwing up the pit stop and him magically getting a puncture when he was about to win always had me questioning the whole thing. Considering he didn't fit in the car, he is taller than Lewis by a lot. Yet he would have won hands down if they had a good pit stop. Even with a puncture, instead of 2 stops for the tire mix up, he would have easily won. We will see this year.

[@StreetWarrior24]

I can't wait... 🔥

[@Bilalx1905]

so after 11 rounds Russel is on 128 Points and Lewis on 109

[@jan.k4259]

YES PERSPECTIVE CONSPIRACY VIDEO!!! Today is a good day.

[@ForgFromFinland]

This was a excelent video once again but the one thing about this race that i hated was everyone calling bottas a bad driver because russell got by him at the end of the race and he dropped so far back. the only reason bottas lost the position to russell and everyone else was because his hard tyres were off his car and of the ground for over 20 seconds which means they lost all the temperature and its hard to get it back with them being so worn out. i remember after the race people wanted bottas replaced immediately because his tyres were 2 laps fresher than perez's hards but perez's hard werent ice cold

[@fatjoe8083]

Bottas is honestly underrated

[@ForgFromFinland]

@@fatjoe8083 yeah

[@sonnyzachariasjr]

Lewis’s dog roscoe was let lose on the tires

[@tomhutchins7495]

This is what happens if you let him think your tyres aren't really worn out. He only eats tyres in good condition. Roscoe: "Rrrrrrr..." Lewis: "tyres are gone man" Roscoe: "oh fine keep 'em them"

[@fitchmultz]

I've heard lots and lots of radio messages and have NEVER heard "genuine" puncture before..

[@curtwillett8702]

Couldn't show the world someone is good as lewis in that car

[@arthurcassuli]

This makes A LOT OF SENSE

[@Gabrielm624]

You should do the 2015 Singapore GP next, it was a massive deal at the time and there was plenty of conspiracies as to why Mercedes suddenly dropped off the pace.

[@SirPsychonautic]

1:54 why does this sound like a Buzzfeed unsolved video lol. First time watching, just something to point out :)

[@81casperflip]

I thought this as well, also Ferrari's pit stop of Eddie Irvine in Europe 1999 with the Championship on the line. Even Ross brawn has said the team would have felt split on Irvine winning it that year

[@justinwong833]

Could you do a video on Singapore and its history of hosting races? dating back to 1961 with the Thomson Road GP Circuit. Thanks!

[@RaiZdbyDINGOES]

In Lewis Hamiltons rookie year suspicious things happened to stop him winning the title in his first year. My guess is F1 don't want to show the huge discrepancy between cars and how easy it is for a rookie or young guys to beat drivers that have been there for years, just because of the car. If Lewis was in a Williams he wouldn't be winning championships

[@ljummingen]

I still think Vandoorne should have gotten that race, why do teams even have reserve drivers for if not using them in situations like this?

[@Fab98]

I don’t think it was to save them from embarrassment because the race had already been embarrassing. Mercedes in 2020 were not making mistakes, the tyre mixup was weird, and Russell had already proven that he was faster than Bottas. I remember being really sad because Russell had lost the win that he deserved, but it was great for Perez

[@josemonsaji]

Imagine if George signs for Mercedes for 2022 and the regulations literally flip the field. George Russell out of points, finishes 11th, being in the points until the last lap only to be ovdrtaken by ALONSO in the Alpine. And NOCHOLAS LATIFI wins the race for WILLIAMS

[@MENQN]

George Russell can't extract any points from FW34b Williams 😭 O zero points loser again Austria
