Virgin Racing: How Not to Build a Formula 1 Car

Formula 1 is a sport in which you can either sink or swim. Trying new methods can sometimes be a genius move, but often it’s best to stick to the status quo. One team in the modern era tried some new ideas, which ultimately didn’t pay off, but through clever investment and sheer force of will were able to endure much longer than their main rivals. This is the story of Virgin Racing.

Imagine never being able to score and have ‘Virgin!’ splashed across the car. 😂

[@ForzaPolska06]

Great thumbnail Now we are still waiting for Haas 2020 season

[@RadityaPramanaPutra2001]

Haas 2020 aren't any yet, right?

[@Kinggrave]

do you mean 2021?

[@ForzaPolska06]

@@Kinggrave 2020 wasn't done yet 2019 was the last episode

[@Kinggrave]

@@ForzaPolska06 damn I didn’t know he did haas episodes. I knew about the shit 2010 teams but didn’t know he made ones for haas

[@IGG2002]

In F1 2010, Virgin used Spec A only.

Wake up babe, Peter brook uploaded!

And we all know you're single

[@yudhabagaskara98]

Is that glock downgrading to Virgin 😭

[@TheShockninja]

Oh my goodness me, you're right.

[@nathangamble125]

Is that Glock going slowly!? Yes! But the car is working, that's just as fast as the Virgin can go without exploding or running out of fuel!

[@TVFortuna]

Just casually throwing in the name of that Icelandic volcano few can pronounce like it was nothing

[@mrtom2854]

(he pronounced it wrong)

[@SpaceHCowboy]

Being a Virgin was rough.....

[@ChrisHopkinsBass]

Was it really Wirth joining without a cost cap? Sorry (not sorry)

[@TeamRedWolf11]

I don't think they have a choice they had to commit at that point

[@davesiddons8921]

Have a shot every time he mentions gearbox

[@spookats1856]

It's been half an hour, and I feel dead already. The world is spinning

[@ANTONSV5]

Great video, Peter! Showing your excellent thorough research of every detail during a teams lifespan. Bristol Zoo was actually my local zoo, so its cool to see they had some involvement in F1. Unfortunately, they went through tough financial times and shut down. Also funny as Jerome like Bruno would find himself in a Lotus.

[@PeterBrookF1]

Yes they were my local zoo too!

[@jamiewebber1903]

Instead of using McLarens wind tunnel they should have used Sauber’s because they are wind tunnel gods.

[@oxcart4172]

It is hard to believe that a man who started an airline is worried about emissions from F1 cars!

[@JeffGordonRamsay]

Love your videos Pete keep it up 👌

[@JTeam45]

They got to do a Lightning McQueen livery and decided to make it suck. I didn't think it was possible.

[@bugattiwu]

20:05 Hmmm why does that sound oddly familiar?

[@Hoonkeen]

You make so nice videos :) Great content!

[@Antistar_TV]

39:13 I think that "Quick" is not Quick Logistics but just Quick, a Belgian fast food chain which is also available in France and a couple other countries. That's the same logo and it appeared the same year Marussia/Virgin had a Belgian driver so that should be it.

[@TheRabbitHouseHole]

Or quicktie! they are a pretty big sponzor in nascar now!

[@townicus5908]

Immediately given the video a thumbs up based on the first 10 seconds. Will watch the rest tomorrow as it is late

[@sanfordcurtis8242]

Hi Peter, this isn’t really to do with this video, but thank you for being based and real about Yuki Tsunoda’s PrObLeMaTiC radio message at the Austrian GP. I too was diagnosed with Asperger’s in the early 2000s and wasn’t offended in the slightest. Don’t listen to the woke wet wipes of F1 Twitter or let them get you down. In fact, Yuki should do it again 😂

The only thing I like about the 2010 Manor Virgin is the livery

[@grimsadventures]

Awesome video, do you make your own thumbnails ?

[@PeterBrookF1]

Nope, I have someone that does them for me!

[@MooncricketsInc]

Alright, Tyrell Benetton and Sauber analysis next?

Commenting for better reach.

How much reliability do you want? ... hmmm no

Guys hes back

[@alimantado373]

Branson was quite disgusting really, thought he could be Ross Brawn. No interest in the sport at all, just the money!

[@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044]

I was disappointed in him too. I thought he'd be a marketing machine like Red Bull in F1.

[@Lessflaw]

imagine being known as a virgin driver

[@T.E.S.S.]

They were very ugly cars. Anyway, great video!

Manor Grand Prix > Virgin Racing > Marussia Virgin Racing > Marussia F1® > Manor Marussia F1® > Manor Racing. Guess which year for all of these! *EDIT:* Unpopular opinion, but their car's livery in 2010-2011 is one of my favorite! 27/06/2024 18:32 Or 06:32 PM At My Local Time.
