Formula 1’s Never Ending Story
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- As an American getting into Formula 1 for the past seven years or so - I thought I would give my brief insight on the motorsport itself, its fandom, and much more. F1 is one wild ride and some of it has a ridiculous double standard.

rpm is hilarious.
I swear down on me nan's grave!
DISGUSTANG
THE NERVE
@@butwhytharumi love that lunatic!! 😂
Woah! I will not tolerate Logan slander, I’ll have you know he’s gone from 21st to 20th in the championship.
does he finally have more points than Ollie Bearman? hehe JK
Bahahaha
@@sixfthreelmao nice !
Old Man Alert: I've been watching F1 since the early 80's and to be honest, a lot of it hasn't changed. I'd argue there is simply more exposure. There has always been drama and politics in the sport. That being said, the draw of F1 in America has always been up and down. We are certainly enjoying a boom right now with American popularity, I don't think this would've happened without first finding a stable home in COTA. America has the unfortunate honor of having more failed race venues than any other country. Under the ownership of Liberty Media and with the success of Drive to Survive, F1 has finally found the formula (HA!) to keep American fans invested.
Thank god COTA is within the FIA regs Sucks we can't have Sebring. That airport section would wreck the cars. But I also wish we could go back to Hock, Nurgburg, Kyalami and Sepang. But yea, I have been following from the early 2000s, Probably 04 or 05. It has always had politics and drama. I openly admit I am a Max fan. He drives to the absolute limit, and does push the rules, but you have to. Schumi, Montoya, Villneuve, Senna, heck... Prost and Mansell. Equal in aggressiveness, yet they are all praised as hero drivers. I don't know to much of the politics as much as I do now, as you said its more public now. Was it about the same treatment as Max gets now? I am willing to bet in the near future when Max moves to WEC he will be hailed as a hero as the previous era drivers.
I'm surprised that David didn't talk more about the drama aspect of F1, I'm also part of "old man" gang since I remember watching and rooting for Senna when I was just a kid. It's always been that the drama OFF the track and the human stories are just as interesting as the actual racing itself.
I'm sure there are a lot of opinions on the whole Cadillac/Andretti drama and about an American team just wanting to join F1. It still is very much a "sport" of the elites.
@@EvLSpectre Every driver has their fans and detractors, only time and rose-tinted glasses determine who eventually is liked more. Believe it or not, there were people who absolutely could not stand Senna, same with Schumacher; yet they are universally loved now. As far as Max goes, I recognize the talent, but it's hard to root for him all of the time personally because of his fanbase; absolutely toxic at times. Sometimes his tactics leave some to be desired. But nobody ever said you have to be loved or popular to be a champion.
@@IndyF1FanMarquis I would be figuring that they had their own haters and fans during their time. I will completely agree that the fans now are rabid. I know Max pushes the rules just a bit much and can be over aggressive. I completely agree too that you do not have to be loved or hated to be WDC. I never really saw hate for LH, only Max and Vettel during his four year run.
The thing with Lance stroll is, He can Put down very respectable laptimes but absolutely cant race other cars
It's actually the opposite. He's always been good off the line and in the wet. His one lap pace has been his weakness.
@@garf117lol no. His pace sucks AND he has exactly 0 peripheral awareness
@@garf117he’s “good” in the wet because he under drives the car. Soon as someone gets close or next to him he goes full retard. He shouldn’t be in F1
@@mattyp3119 years ago he consistently had the most passes on the opening lap of races. He was good in Brazil in the wet twice now. I'm not saying he doesn't suck. I'm saying he doesn't have single lap pace. He's always underperformed in qualifying.
@@mattyp3119His pace doesn’t always suck, he just inconsistent and not very aware. Lance is absolutely good enough to be in F1, but he’s not great.
I think formula 1 and Nascar are cool because the drivers are in the spotlight alongside the cars. Whereas (at least in my case) when I watch IMSA I root for a specific team/manufacturer
I started watching formula 1 with my grandpa, he was a Dutch immigrant and was super excited to see Verstappen make his debut in Formula 1. I still remember watching the 2016 Spanish GP and all the excitement when Lewis and Nico decided to take each other out and open the door for Max’s first victory. Unfortunately he passed away in 2020 and didn’t get to see Max become world champion in 21’ but I’m still grateful he got me interested in the sport.
RIP to your grand father man, I would loved to know him. He sounds like an awesome guy.
R.I.P 🕊️
That's an awesome story.
Rally is the pinnacle imo but because its a time attack format, people dont watch it.
I appreciate your perspective but still seems like you have a bit to learn about the sport. Keep watching!
Was looking for this comment.
Im a honda guy so i follow the engines wherever they go. But Lando is cool ASF and im still rooting for Riccardo to make a come back
Please tell me some Americans have been around before Drive to Survive? Coming from an American fan....
Redbull and Merc fans are a dead give away for dts'ers
2011 Italian GP on SPEED channel was the first race I watched, hooked ever since!
Max fan, but I was a Renault and Nando fan when I first started watching as best I could back in 04 05 time frame. Of course Vettel as being the young gun and no one thought he could win.
@@Chipnrail Hell nah bruh, I was a Merc fan before they were even Mercedes.
since 2006 after getting a glimpse of Lewis killing the competition in turkey gp2.He was the greatest of all time to me then in 2006 watching him actually become the Goat is pure motivational Bliss.
Thing I hate about F1 is that they don’t want American drivers. They just want our money. Them turning down the Andretti Cadillac entry is what really made me lose interest.
That wasn’t F1 that was the teams. F1 actually accepted Andretti’s bid.
Also you might wanna do some reading on how screwed up the France family is when it comes to running NASCAR….
@Michael-pi8ps Oh trust I know their history. They care nothing for the drivers, teams, and legitimacy of the sport. They only want money. F1 may have politics but at least they don’t have gimmicks and manufactured shit.
@@Michael-pi8psit was FIA who approved, not Formula One ( more specifically Formula one Management who rejected them)
Also i think Andretti wanted to add an 11th team instead of purchasing an existing f1 team like Audi
@AAS-gw5mb to purchase a team, you have to have a willing seller.
Actually check out Michael Schumacher being given a win by Ferrari and his teammate being told to let him pass to take the win
Ppl hated Lewis too like HATED but its kinda gone now
People still hate lewis due to his fans which is understandable and I'm no different however I was happy to see him win on sunday
This is why the "$2000 Challenge" from Grassroots Motorsports is starting to gain such traction!
Its cheap, SUPER RELATABLE, especially in this economy in the US at least, and everyone can make it challenging in their own way but still keep itoriginal and unique with mods, car choice AND how MUCH you CHOOSE to spend on that $2000 budget and possibly win. Thats where racing is headed as thats our saving grace for racing now.
2005 Indy race was the most embarrassing moment in F1. The teams running the Michelin tires were told by Michelin not to race as the tires were unsafe and they couldn't guarantee the driver's safety if they chose to race anyway. Not sure if thats an actual boycott. Its not like the teams didn't want to race but they just couldn't due to unsafe conditions. The 2 Ferrari cars lapped the remaining cars at least twice.
Number one reason it's not just the car: circumstances occur that require the driver to MAKE the car do a certain strategy in order to win. Part of Merc's dominance was because Lewis could drag the life of a set of tyres out forever, even while they felt dead. So, they'd overcut the other teams and drive away. Max is required for consistent performance from RB cars of the past 4 seasons. The Michael was required to make Ferrari's 4-stop strategy work in France 20 years ago. That's all not to mention Lewis driving Max's tyres off during a 3 stopper in Hungary in 2019, forcing Max into an unwinnable situation. That can only happen with fast, accurate, consistent, unshakable drivers with a cutthroat approach at the right times. Valterri, Gasly, Albon, Checo, and Rubens couldn't do/be that; if they could, we'd be talking about them instead.
I’ve had a off and on relationship with f1 my whole life. Having a motocross upbringing of living in Maryland, I’ve always been more interested in the more grassroots where they fans can be right against the action. F1 to me is like watching a superhero movie. Superhuman driving vehicles that the average person can’t even fathom at speeds that could cause the veins in the neck to burst if you’re not prepared.
Living down the road from Road Atlanta and having attended races since yearly since 2007, I find IMSA very engaging and interesting as a car lover. You get crazy access to the paddock and drivers. All those brands represented on track are well represented in the Car Corrals - Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Dodge, Acura, Mazda, Audi, AMG - it's kindof insane how much there is for any fan to appreciate and root for - and they race all over the U.S.
The annoying part is that a lot of my friends are starting to get into F1 and they immediately start trash-talking other drivers because that's what they see online. It's like people have to pick a side in F1 and can't just support the sport as a whole and all the drivers.
I've started watching F1 back in 94, and though I didn't really follow it for several years, once Max got back in I've been watching it again,
part of what really hurt F1 in the US was the 2005 Indianapolis grand prix, where due to a tire war (1 of the brands couldn't guarantee the drivers safety) only 6 out of 20 cars actually started the race,
the other problem I see is the superlicense points system, it's a lot harder to gain the right amount of SL points in indycar compared to for example any of the feeder series (F2, F3, F4 etc) which doesn't make any sense to me since in indycar the driver level is far higher than in any of the feeder series.
another thing that makes F1 so different compared to other series, everyone develops their own car and there are very few parts actually interchangeable
Just remember the worst F1 driver is still a better driver than most everyone in the world. Tony Stewart is an icon in motorsports yet you can see him struggle driving the F1 car. Hamilton did fine in the NASCAR. Rally drivers are just crazy 😂.
Put Hamilton in a nascar race then see what happens, a cup car is easy to drive by yourself.
As a american who's been watching since 1996 as a 5 year old. Have my favorite team, ferrari, and my favorite driver, max. Its like being fan of motocross.
Also saying Nascar isn't a rich boy "playground" is ridiculous
@@Chipnrail Nascar isnt as bad as f1 in terms of cost a f1 car costs around 15 million, a nascar car cost around 300 thousand.
@@jonsnow3176 He was talking about the drivers are from rich family's. Not that F1 cars cost more money to develop. Nascar is nothing but rich silver spoon drivers.
the media surrounding F1 is the worst part about the sport. they have the D2S mindset with every incident that happens on track where the best of friends are suddenly the worst of enemies
when liberty media bought the sport the broadcast races are alot more action. its not just following the leader but showing the mid pack and back marker battles.
if you watch the monaco gp vs others you can see the difference in the coverage on the broadcast. even tho monaco is essentially a parade now.
Probably the most cold take you'll ever hear. Watching motorsport in America is too expensive. And half of the time we get geolocked from watching stuff. I installed a VPN just to watch the 7 hours of nurburfog and it's the same thing with most F1 races. If you want to watch it you better have a VPN to the UK to be able to watch anything besides Canada and the 3 US races. Id love to get more people into F1 especially with the tech coming to cars (new 911 turbo hybrid system) but it's so flipping expensive to watch and the time zones are AWFUL for us
What are you talking about F1 is on ESPN plus there is the F1 app
I’m going to hold your hand when I tell you, it’s the same way for U.K. viewers watching UFC when it’s held in vegas viewing at 3am. Or Formula Drift being held in America and it streams in early hours of the morning.
Just get over it. What a first world problem to have…….
Just pay for the F1 app, I did, best choice of my life 3 years on
F1: "We are checking" (Ferrari reference)
"box, box"
@@royalbadger6560 NO NO NO NO STAY OUT STAY STAY STAY OUT
Acceptable answers for favorite drivers include, but not limited to, Kimi Raikonen, Fernando Alonso, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, to name a few.
they need to let Andretti in if they want to capture an american audience
We got that dude in blue throwing shade at the window licker before gta 6
I started watching f1 with the 2012 season. I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ll admit that some of the races can be absolute snooze fests but when it’s good it’s really good.
You missed one important thing... there are no commercials during the live F1 broadcast, name another major sport that does that....
that entirely depends on the broadcaster. or the way you choose to view it.
the F1 app has no ads, but on regular television they do picture in picture ads with a commercials playing in the corner of the screen.
also MLB doesn't have ads if you subscribe to their app, there are "commercial breaks" but it just cuts to a screen saying "commercial break" and it only lasts as long as a picthing change or an inning change, they will cut commercials short if the game resumes.
Hamilton received hate during his dominance as well, it’s why so many people were happy to see max win in 2021. Same with Seb and his 4 championships with Red Bull. He was the villain for 4 seasons straight but his later ferrari years and Aston Martin saw him as a fan favorite.
That's common in F1 with most dominant drivers, it also didn't help that Lewis and Vettel acted like spoiled brats when they were dominating.
America is probably the only country that's out of the loop on world wide sports. The whole world loves F1 and soccer for example. But America thinks turning left and throwing a football is the only thing out there.
The only reason why anyone in America knows about F1 is because of Netflix
That's just how American exceptionalism works. But USA teams in global sports also do well, except men's soccer that is.
@@LouisSubearthWhich is funny because now the US does have a solid football national team. But their coach is shit.
Not anymore it seems. Soccer is about to overtake any other sport in the US. Lets see if its just a hype or more.
@@user-or5lt5eh4sNo it isn’t, I’ve been hearing that since I’ve been born
@@user-or5lt5eh4s they said that back when David Beckham joined.
“All the time you have to leave the space!”
Some of those clips for lance were not even F1 Crashes…..Idk its not fair to judge Lance because his father bought the team he is a quick driver saying that he causes a crash every time he goes out isnt fair
I like Lance too, but even I understand that he's had more crashes than its permitted to other drivers in other teams before they're fired and replaced.
Woah Logan Sargeant has out qualified sergio perez 7 out of the 12 races...
I am really enjoying WEC this season. Prob my fav motor sport to watch
People try to follow their favorite drivers, but also forget it's a team sport.
It's an arms race at 300kph. Most series have deep regulations and balance of performance, or the cars are identical.
In F1, everything needs to work as a well oiled machine. Strategy has to be spot on, the car quick and reliable, drivers take every opportunity and work together, engineers and drivers give input needed to make the car faster. All this has to happen all the time or you fall down the order.
As a Spanish, i watch it for the Sport, for the Spirit, for the heritage.. not for CHEAP DRAMA
I DONT GIVE A S*** ABOUT STORIES, OR LIFES, OR DRAMAS
And WHY STREET TRACKS, instead of DAYTONA?
This is how I see f1. For me it is the peak of automotive technology being pushed to its limits. The pressure on the drivers to perform is so intense it makes it interesting.
They change the layout of the engines and cars every 4 years or so. They try things sometimes they hit like the V10 days and other things like the 4cyl turbo engines with anti lag and drs etc not so much. But they have to try things and mess around with new technologies that will eventually trickle down into consumer cars for the most part.
So what you and I are seeing is the absolute limits of automotive technology. And that makes it fun for me to watch. I don't get invested in the driver drama and all the behind the scenes bullshite they go on with I'm here for the cars.
Perfect example is Mercedes and their dominant run. They split the turbo in half, put the front section on the front of the block and the compressor side on the rear of the block with a long shaft through it . This design basically made them have 0 turbo lag and they dominated because of this design. Nothing could keep up with them speed wise. Everyone was chasing them for years, many a meeting was had to try ban the design etc because their car was just on another level. The current season with the new layout they have been struggling. So you can have dominant cars season to season end up not being so dominant due to the other cars catching up design wise.
But they were inside the specs they just thought of it differently.
Porsche has now started using this turbo technology in their road cars and the gt rs cars are so damn fast due to the 0 lag issue. We will see this technology come down the pipe eventually to everyday cars.
Stuff like over boost and turbo bleeding etc all came from f1. DRS is now being used on a bunch of cup cars and production racing cars...the next step will be consumer cars.
That's why I love f1. They push the limits sometimes good and sometimes it doesn't work out for them. The things that work tend to trickle down eventually into the cars we buy. It takes 10 years or so but it's the reason I like to watch. The engineering and design to inch out every bit of speed and grip.
Yes but i think it might be better is it started as a spec series from the start of the regulation. Then through the races the parts start to change.
just imagining big SUVs and ecoboxes leveraging active aero to improve braking
F1 is reality TV. That's a great way of putting it. But it's also what worries me about F1. I think it's really important to know where the line is between sport and entertainment, because without that, either we get another Abu Dhabi '21 moment where sport was sacrificed for entertainment value, or you get a dominant season where Max fairly wins every race but no one wants to watch.
I have the most enjoyment when I have a healthy blend of fair sportsmanship and entertaining storylines. But honestly, as an F1 casual, when I watch a race I'm just here for the ride.
6:00 no, they do not share the blame, I’m neither a max or lando fan but the F1 rulebook clearly states that a driver cannot move under breaking, during that crash we can see max choosing an inside trajectory going into the corner, so lando chose the external line, and then mid braking max suddenly moves to the left hitting lando. F1 has strict rules and they are important for understanding what’s going on and who’s at fault during races, to confirm this fact max also got a penalty for that move
Also dive bombing isn’t against the rules, it’s annoying but it’s not against the rules
Max didn't move under braking. He adjusted his car just before braking, whether this is dirty or clever is up for debate, but what he did was completely within the rules.
He got a 10-second penalty for causing a collision.
@@nealfirstofhisname well the stewards disagree with you, and that’s not up for debate
@Sbinott0 The stewards at the Austrian GP gave Max a 10-second penalty for causing a collision and no penalty for moving under braking, so I don't know which stewards you are referring to.
@@nealfirstofhisname that’s because there’s no explicit rule called moving under breaking, but there’s a rule about not behaving dangerously while breaking (ironically introduced because of max tendency to to do it) which include among other dangerous behaviours that of changing directionunder breaking, the infrigment of that rule caused the crash and max was penalised for it. Know your stuff before commenting please.
I've been obsessed with formula 1 since I was re introduced to the sport in 2020.
I won't lie, I don't even really watch the races. I just keep up to date on whats going on with the cars and the driver drama. It's like a soap opera for grown men.
I'm the opposite, but I can see how minds are split. I love motorsport no matter the format or level. F1 is the pinnacle of open-wheel, but definitely not the pinnacle of motorsport. Paddock drama is very interesting when it's transferable to on-track performance, otherwise it's unrelatable and I don't care. There's two types of F1 fans. Those that sourced all the pics of the car floors as they got crane lifted in 2023 Monaco, and those that sourced for Horner's alleged dick pics. Both very exciting images in each camp.
too much masculinity in m'nuts to just keep up with the lady drama..
engine go burrr, I go weeeee
@@willybe6427 No, it's just a fascination in mechanical engineering. But if you wish to imagine it as something else to appease your ironic narrative of sexism, good for you. Just be aware most people don't look kindly on misandrists or misogynists. Based on such a comment, I imagine you understand at least one half of that, but obviously not the other.
Weird place for the mind to go off the topic of motorsport, regardless.
@@saltesc ggaaayyyyyyy
To say Lawrence just "came in and bought Aston Martin F1 for his son" is kinda wild, and really borders on just a blatant lie. Lawrence bought a Force India team that was literally days away from insolvency, with no buyers lined up. In all likelihood, with how greedy the teams are about not giving up their pieces of the pie to let Andretti in, we could genuinely only have 9 teams currently on the grid. Also, Lawrence's investment in Aston Martin, plays no small part of the brand's current turnaround, as Aston Martin wasn't doing well either, prior to 2020.
My point is, don't view Lance as taking away a driver's seat. View it as Lawrence providing an additional seat. I'd rather have 19 drivers and Lance, then 18 drivers.
However people can still be mad that the only reason he has that seat is because of his dad. Any other driver would have been fired for under performance and Lance makes $3m a year to be a driver who can't keep up with his teammate. He also states that F1 is not a career for him (I know Max has said something similar but he has the skill to be worth what he is paid) and he is taking a seat from the talented drivers in F2 that may never get a shot in F1 due to that relationship. Also you can still argue if he didn't buy the failing team, his son probably wouldn't be in F1 anymore so he did buy the failing team so his son could still race lol
@@collincreeden2862 "and he is taking a seat from the talented drivers in F2"
You can't keep having it both ways. If Lance never races, there would only 18 spots on the grid. Period. It absolutely looked like no one was going to save Force India. I'm sure Alonso keeps racing, so thre's even less likelihood of more talented F2 driver coming in. What Lance gets paid, whether he really evens wants to race, or his on track performance is irrelevant. That extra seat is still there.
Couple fun facts -
1. F1 used to race here in Detroit
2. It was in Detroit in 1983 that Italian driver Michele Alboreto drove his Tyrrell 011 to victory in the US Grand Prix East in what would prove to be the 155th and last ever F1 win by the Cosworth DFV V8 engine.
I watched f1 since a little kid. I’d watch it with my grandpa when I’d visit him in Italy. He loved it and I learned to live it as a kid. It baffles me how some Americans don’t consider it a sport
4:48 he's saying this after one of the few weekends when stroll has been competent
Same thing happened when RPM dropped his Lance diss, when he carried the team in Imola, which is what I'm sure was partly used to research this video.
La ce Is a weird driver, he's a god in wet and sometime he drives as good as Senna but he's super inconsistent, which is his actual problem, on day he does good and get point and the next he sucks balls.
@@Ms666slayer yeah ik
as someone thats followed F1 since i was a little kid, F1 will always be amazing. Some of the best moments and battles in racing happened in F1. Even though ive been drifting for years and hugely influenced by the Japanese golden days of drifting and its history, F1 has been able to inspired me in just as many ways to get in a car and polish my own driving. now that the field is getting closer and were not seeing as much of a Verstappen dominance as before, this is the time to tune in and watch some great battles and gran prix drives. this past weekend at Silverstone was glorious to watch!
I got into F1 in the early 2000’s with the 19k rpm V10’s. The cars were always the selling point for me. I don’t really care about these drivers now, but I’m enjoying Max’s villain role.
David, I have been enjoying these 10 minute short commentary videos you have been putting out as of late. would be curious to see you do one on the state of grassroot motorsports in 2024 such as drifting. what it takes to get started and the real cost of going to an event to put into perspective of what it takes to do things at an entry level as a motorsport's enthusiast looking to get into things like drifting or track days.
WEC is better than IMSA
I am a 67 year old who loves F1, kinda likes Indy car, and cannot watch Nicecar. All things considered, I can’t explain why.
I watch a lot of IMSA, but struggle with total commitment due to multiple drivers and car classes. MX5 Cup is simply amazing.
However, nothing beats Goodwood Revival.
Hope to see you at Road Atlanta one day. I park the travel trailer their for the weekend at least four times a year.
Im an old head & I personally find Formula1 to be rather inaccessible, expensive as all hell when in comparison to watching anything IMSA related; to include the Rolex24 & 12Hrs of Sebring. More expensive than the Daytona 500. Definitely more expensive than watching a live drift event (grassroots or not). I've had other people who I've spoken with tell me the exorbitant prices they would pay to watch F1 live in Vegas or Miami this past year. Segueing with cost; it is certainly a 'rich man's sport' to say the least. Look at how much Red Bull spends on their F1 team in comparison to Hendricks motorsport in Nascar or RTR regarding drifting. Then look at what it costs to attend those events. Mom & Pop w/their two kids probably can't afford that average price of almost $1200 a ticket. Therefore it's difficult to get a younger generation into that type of racing in comparison to other brands of motorsport with four wheels.
I will say that there are other reasons to let the slower driver pass the faster driver at a track and its if the one that's slower is fighting for the championship and the one who is faster that day doesn't have a chance. It also just depends on the standings as a whole sometimes as well
Been an F1 fan since I was 8 (60 now) with a 7 year hiatus after Senna’s death where I became a big CART (Indycar) fan before the split destroyed that series which for a time was much better and as glamorous as F1.
One other thing. The big push in America and the 2 new races in America are down to LOTS of American money being pumped into the sport a few seasons back, to the point it’s now OWNED by Liberty Media, a company I’ve never heard of before but I’m going to go out on a limb and assume a name like that belongs to an American firm.
I’ve never seen anyone defend Stroll tbh he’s a Veteran of F1 now and hasn’t gotten any better
I mean I definitely respect F1 from a sheer professional standpoint of monitoring every aspect of the race cars from aerodynamics to tire pressure, steering input, etc. but while I may not follow let alone root for any particular drivers, I at the very least enjoy witnessing who is able to take each other over in just about any corner/straightaway on a track and ultimately see who can come out on top in the end with the celebrations being just as big as Nascar ones. And I mean hell one of my fav racing movies involving F1 is 2013's Rush. And I did play a bit of F1 Grand Championship on the N64. Regardless of everything tho, F1 to me is a neat modern way of how to build/manage/race a car solely based off of aero and achieving the highest top speeds and most amount of G forces.
I have never heard anyone defending stroll . It’s the car is typically a knuckle dragger excuse
Checo's existence proves that it's not just the car lol.
F1 got my attention when I was stationed in Germany. Michael Schumacher was champion and was hard to beat. Today, it's hard to believe how fluent changes are made. Drivers are changed during the season, and team members are fired if not performing to expectations. Max Verstappen is clearly the best driver since Louis Hamilton. Hamilton is old now but still does well. I think Max will go down as a legend in the sport, and Hamilton will be more like Schumacher. A great driver that also always had the best car. Sena was like Max because of how he drives the car. It's hard to explain, but the number of wins doesn't always mean legendary status. That's my opinion, but Max's performance during the rest of this season may change my mind.
They need to randomly assign drivers to different cars for qualifying and races. Then half the points go to the driver and team. Just to turn everything upside down.
TDIB and F1 in one?? Sign me up!!
I think that for us car lover's, as a whole, just really love and appreciate F1 for the cars. The incredible engineering and designs, the powertrain technology and just how absurdly fast these cars have become. Like 5+g in braking and cornering forces is insane. I don't care who is winning, I just like to watch some good racing regardless of who is "better".
As a Canadian. We are embarrassed of Lance Stroll 😅😅
Formula 1 is the WWE of motorsports
Sounds sick to me
Braindead take
Actually that’s nascar where the France family is free to manipulate the race as they see fit
The problem I've seen with Formula 1 is who ever has the best car for that season will dominate. Most of the drivers are some of best in the world but get stuck in 💩 cars. After 2 to 3 races you can pretty much predict the season. I only watch the Netflix series as it gets more in depth with the drama otherwise don't care that much
MY DUDE!
If you do a segment on F1 from time to time I will definitely watch that
I have tried to get into formula one, but I just cant I dislike how the cars are made of glass especially when watching nascar you see them beating and banging. I especially dislike how the fia is goes " you didnt pass him polite enough 5 second penalty" just idk kinda takes the fun out of it. I rather watch cup guys have at it and just see who comes out on top.
I just like the sounds and how fast and technical it is
The problem I have with it is that I'm not wT hing it at 3am. Lol
Haas, I'm running one of their machines right now😂
I've been following F1 in depth since the Sebastian Vettle days at Red Bull. I love it. But lately it seems like it's changing for the worse. It's becoming too commercial and sterile.
We do not talk about 2021, David.
I’m a casual fan. The Video games and reality show got me into the sport.
What about Checo's faith are we supposed to be surprised about? You said he "was supposed to be under contract"... Well he is..... So ????
My favorite driver is Alonso. He’s old. Very accomplished and seems like he’s one of the few drivers out there having fun. And his a living meme on his own personal social media
1) I like all motorsports 2) you were spot on; I will only add that f1 fans tend to look down on others sports 3) the reason I like f1 is more on the technology side of things not so much its competition for that look up a spec series etc
I watch F1, Super GT, Imsa, Formula E, and WEC.
Formula 1 probably is my favorite cause the drivers are so involved but I also don’t like that it’s so dramatic
It cost to much to even get started on.
the engineering is my favourite thing, the rich boy expensive watch part I hate
I like watching gt series racing because you can emulate those cars and relate to them or aspire to have them.im not interested in watching long ass go-karts drive around 🤷🏾♂️ formula 1 is not for me
0:20 I’d love to hear people’s view on this, but from someone who isn’t an American, that seems to be half the problem with the attitude and mentality over there, in a country where anyone can do anything, it becomes “can I do this in America” and if they can’t relate to it or see themselves doing it then they’re not interested, so sports that are played at an amateur school level like baseball or football are relatable. There’s no sense of awe in watching 20 people who are far greater than basically 90% of people within their own discipline, let alone the entire world performing at a near super human level be far greater than themselves watching at home
"Unless you're a rally fan" 😅
It's too expensive for us normies to go and have a good time. The spectacle has turned into a popularity contest.
i am a f1 fan for about 2 years know and i already know basically everything im not ok :) and i also know much about indycar and am learning nascar i really need a new hobby
I'll start watching the Netflix F1 show Drive to Survive when Lance Stroll annoys Daddy enough to seriously consider removing him from F1.
"real life pod racing"... If that was the case, every American would be watching. I think the biggest issue is the stewards and the rules. They are much stricter than NASCAR.
Never been into F1, but the Mario Andretti situation is actually kinda interesting to me. Not sure if there's enough there for a video, but basically getting the US government Involved because they "arnt allowed in."
All the locals here in Las Vegas hate it!!
Isn't it life? In that double standards, life ain't fair...the quicker one gets that, the better off they will be. Blame culture/feel sorry for me stuff....gets you nowhere
I think Russell is still my favorite driver. Has been for years. Very consistent and I believe he is a principled racer. No double standards. Lando is one of my favorites as well and has been for a few years. Very happy to see him doing so well. Ricciardo is also another personal fav, so I'm glad to see him back in. Lewis Hamiltion will always be one of the GOAT. You're absolutely right though that so many fans treat it like politics where my guy is always right and everyone else is always wrong. Pretty sad.
Rally vid next? 👀
@1:30 This is Formula 1 and motorsport in general. This is the answer. There is no favourite driver. The whole point of F1 has and always will be the constructors championship. It is whichever team produced the best car by formula and the best car for the driver. Who that driver is? No motorsport fans care. We know who the best drivers are and whoever's 8th in the "driver's championship" could've easily been first had their constructor performed as well and produced the same car as #1. No motorsport fans have a "favourite" driver, they just like more than others in the top tiers, usually purely because of their personality.
This concept is incompatable with America's celebrity obsession which got hooked into with DTS, and subsequently we see the massive uptick of F1 popularity in the US, even though the sport has been like this for decades. The US market has been finally tapped. It's not motorsport they care about, it's celebrities, drama, and a fast-paced environment for it all to happen on. Excellent for revenue.
Have you watched the sport as long as I have, you would have seen all the phases of everyone backing someone for WC, then by the time they got their third, everyone hates them. Tall Poppy Syndrome. This happened to Max most recently, Hamilton before, Vettel, before that, Shuey before that... so on and so on... These are not fans of the sport, just fans of an individual's drama.
So cool to see people talking about F1. Marketing is an amazing thing when it works.
If anyone is interested in learning more history and getting some deeper analysis check out Peter Windsor.
Max's dominance is similar to Schumacher's. It's manufactured by the team because of his once in a generation (methinks) talent.
Lewis on the other hand never had a weak teammate nor was he number one.
F1 is like that though. It's the fastest car that wins because they usually have the best drivers.
Max was penalized because of his reputation.
*_Also in 2021 Abu Dhabi is the worst decision I've ever seen in any sport._*
Honestly, I never could get into watching Motor sports. It would take a lot of time investment to follow, and I’d rather be wrenching on my own cars/ going for a drive myself.
I don't watch F1 anymore, it's not like how it used to be when I was a kid growing up in Brazil in the 90's. It was something we looked forward to not only to cheer on our countrymen, but because the sound, the competition and the drivers were great. Speaking of the drivers, they were much more likeable as public figures, they knew how to be professional on the track, and in front of the cameras. F1 was held so high that it was common for men, women and even kids to discuss race events or general opinions about the sport as a casual topic of conversation, like Americans do with football, baseball or hockey. I guess part of this feeling I have is nostalgia because a F1 race on a Sunday was a nice way to enjoy a churrasco with the family, but a lot of things beyond F1 doesn't seem as good as they used to be. Maybe I'm just too old now and I rather watch a Honda Fit and a Ford fiesta go at it in SCCA B-spec😂
In my honest opinion, the sport has always suffered from the same sins. Drivers have always been petulent. Teams have been dominant. Backroom politics have been rampant. Terrible drivers have always been on the grid. Etcétera.
But what made it worth it back then was that it was nationally televised. Everyone could watch. And when it switched to cable, because almost everyone had cable at the time it remained highly accessible. Bo it is not like that. You have to be an F1 fan to watch F1. There are no longer casual viewers.
Also there’s that new American F1 film starring Brad Pitt coming out 🤔
As a multi decade F1 that has attended US F1 races. First was the first Indy F1 race while in college. Lewis and Max fans are more alike than they want to admit. I'm not watching the TV shows and it is one of the things driving me away. Currently I don't have a favorite as the drivers aren't really drawng me to pull for one and the teams all have their flaws. I hate that the price to attend a race is so much more than it used to be. My last was the first at COTA. Ticket and hotels priced me out of the second COTA race.
There is some truth in the "it is the car not the driver" but not the whole truth. In my opinion Lando, Russell, and Lewis could win a championship in the Red Bull assuming Max was not at Red Bull.
I'm not a big Red Bull fan but Mercedes is the biggest complainers currently not long ago by F1 standards Red Bull was a young back marker team. McLaren had their own scandal of stealing tech resulting in a multi million dollar or Euro fine. Ferrari manages to give away races they should win. F1 has it all without turning it into reality TV. The biggest question or story in F1 isn't Lando vs Max or Lewis breaking his slump, it is where is Newey going.
Thank you! Max and Lando both deserved penalties. Bridgestone owns Firestone but a valid point. However, it was not F1's first time at the track. Michelin shoud have designed a better tire. I agree with the rule of not changing tire brands as the tire manufacturers don't make enough tires for the team to switch weeks out and certainly not race weekend. I went the next year to Indy thinking it was going to be the last USGP for many years.
Should have talked about formula 1 wants to incorporate USA tracks but don’t want to incorporate another American company into the grid
