Applicable to all of motorsport, really. One could argue no one is as passionate as them in extreme sports. Or, they might be oversaturating the market. IDK…
Something I noticed being criminally unnoticed, is during the F3 feature race, Pepe Marti (in his rookie season) went from p30 all the way up to P9, whilst finishing about 12 seconds ahead of his team mate in p10
Barnard did something similar, to a lesser extent, started P18 and finished P9, in the second worst team on the grid. He's also in his rookie season, having jumped directly from F4.
The 2022 Bahrain feature race was a great example of this, between Nissany driving like a maniac and botched pitstops and a tire rolling down the pitlane, it was funny as fuck
The other categories were nuts as well. A car ended up upside down during qualifying for one of the Porsche Carrera Cup races, while during one of the races two others crashed on the run to turn 9. And as for the Supercars... Controversy over tyre changes in Race 1 (teams exploiting a loophole thanks to the race being called wet) Nick Percat's Ford Mustang catching fire in Race 2 James Courtney's Ford Mustang catching fire in a similar yet bigger way in Race 3 Several time penalties for unsafe releases over the course of the weekend, one driver even getting done for it twice. Not to mention some big crashes.
Not to mention SVG spun twice at high speed and almost didn't hit anything. You know the track is garbage when that's happening to a driver of his ability. There were several very similar incidents at that part of the track over the weekend, I have no idea how Albert Park keeps getting a Grade 1 certification from the FIA.
I think there is a sizeful gap in F2 / F3 / Indy coverage on RUclips that you can keep treating us to! Love these vids as I don't follow the series close enough.
RedBull: Alright, a new seasons starting in the juniors. Helmut, you think we really need to sign anymore young drivers. Weve got like 80 already. Helmut: I want to collect them all..... RedBull:........Okay, how many should we sign. Helmut: Yes.
It’s up there with that European F3 race at Monza a few years ago. I think some conversations about driving standards will and have been had. Great racing as ever tho. Nice one mate.
0:14 every british and european person cries and whinges when the race is on late at night or in the morning ON A SUNDAY when us australians have to watch it AT MIDNIGHT, YES 12:00am ON A MONDAY
imo if f2/f3 go to a brand new track like they did here, they need more practice before the races. Most races in Europe the majority of the drivers have driven the track already (except maybe silverstone, hungaroring, etc) but at a race where NO ONE has ever driven it before its just too unsafe, it was lucky this weekend that noone was hurt
Also that weekend was the Supercars Championship and Porsche Carrera Cup Australia. Both had multiple crashes but the Supercars had 2 cars in different races explode into a ball of flames on lap 1. Carrera cup somehow managed to roll a car in the final corner Nissany’s crash on Sunday is definitely at the top of the list of dumbest crashes of the year
You have no idea how much I laughed during the weekend just watching the juniors doing their things. Man, this is why I love them so much. Besides the competition, the chaos was what I seeking for
yeah I've grown to love f2/f3 for this very reason, they're complete terrors, the young drivers and this competition is supposedly where that is weeded out of them haha
8:50 "Except for Martins and Hauger, *they* couldn't even make it around the final corner without wiping *each other* out" Look, I know it's meant to be funny, but this was all on Martins. Hauger was on for a 10th-->Podium race before that.
I think you can keep F2 and F3 in Europe. They took away from the V8's and other Australian support categories that would have been much better for this weekend.
Personally, I disagree! Loved seeing F2 and F3 racing in Australia. I can totally appreciate the Australian categories but they're already reasonably accessible to us unlike f2 and f3. while it's great to see some local support categories the supercars and porsche's gave me enough of an Aussie fix through the weekend, especially since there were Australian drivers in all of the formula categories.
Those guys are the cream of the young drivers. They went throught international go kart competition. The level of those races is incredibly high, this is why there's some crashes. Each place need some big risk. Those guys are pure talent. I'd like to see yourself.
FYI, Masi was there because the Australian V8 Supercars were there, and he's one of the bosses on the Supercars board, hence why he was there. The v8s also did 4 support races on the weekend!
Nice video and how nice of them to provide content. Also "helping" is that F3 and F2 are spec series, so everyone in F3 is driving the exact same car with the same engine and everyone in F2 ditto, so you get all sorts of fun cause people will swap places over and over again.
3:32 i was standing right there when they crashed that was our spot for the day on saturday and the impact its so much louder than you can imagine and there was harldy anyone standing there and when they crashed all of a sudden there were like 100 people crowding around and i was in the front of it all best day of my life

we got to albert park late on the day of the F3 sprint and one of my mates said “don’t worry i bet there’s a red flag so we won’t miss much”, low and behold we got there and there was a red flag 😂
I really enjoy Will's video's.... but this one is clear in it's message that I never have to watch there junior series. I enjoy competence, not the lack thereof
I may have only driven formula 4 cars for about 2 races, but our two races were as close and no contact and only 2 crashes. i was shocked about how much people crashed at the Aus GP this year in ANY series, let alone both F2 and F3
It's a very sketchy track, one little mistake and you're in the wall. Some parts of the track were so slippery cars were losing traction and spinning out whilst going in a straight line. I have no idea how it keeps getting a Grade 1 certification from the FIA, it's dangerous AF.
@@woopimagpie i mean i love the circuit. it's been one of my favorites for a long time. as for the slippery track, we were in mixed conditions in road atlanta and that is sketchy. Albert Park is almost perfectly flat
First, nice whining about the start time. :-) As a West Coast Canadian, you can imagine I don't complain how I stay up for 90 per cent of races. As for the F2 and F3 races, they were a blast. It's not like F1 was clean, especially given they are not as green as these kids. A plurality of support races are usually gong shows anyway, too (bigger grids, lack of experience, cold tires, etc.). The Albert Park race is now later than usual, so the weather was colder and saw that precipitation. Ultimately, F2 and F3 are about separating the wheat from the chaff, and a race like this is an amplifier for that.
As someone who was there in person.. haha l loved all the crashed and drama from the f2/f3.. also thought they sounded better than the f1's. Still loved the supercars and porche races as well with wheels coming off and cars catching fire haha
F2 was some of the best racing I’ve seen in a while but it usually is. Doohan’s pass on Jak Crawford was always on. Crawford trying to contest it - and then going off the track - wasn’t and the stewards agreed. Roy Nissany is the new Pastor Maldonado. Either Hadjar’s voice hasn’t broken yet or his seatbelts are too tight.
has anyone bothered to count how many safety cars were on that weekend in total across f1,2 and 3? must be some sort of record. probably a record for cars wrecked on a weekend too?
Seeing this makes F1 seem even more foolish for doubling down on their own internal pipeline for new talent rather than accepting someone like Colten Herta or Plato O’Ward from Indycar that actually know how to drive respectfully.
8:53 who who what dis you just say? hauger and martin took eachither out. Nope no no no! It was clearly martins fault, locking up straight into hauger and yes I took that quite personally! Otjerwise great video!👍
Will, I honestly don't see much of a difference between the F2 & F3 races and what we saw from F1 in Australia. The whole weekend was a clusterfuck. Cars going off like it was a special Olympics event. Safety cars and red flags galore. Simply awful? The rules changes and track changes need some serious rethinking.
Like F3 & F2 , its fun & at time dear god its pure crazy,i only wish it had more spotlight on them(kinda like the old Renault 3.5 had in its glory days),however i wish the juniors didnt had the team livery(RB cars all over),also now i wish SuperFormula was easier to see and compare with these 2 for fun(and NO no thanks on indy,rather enjoy touring cars than that).
as a first time watcher of F2 and F3. it was brilliant. They are also insanely loud, compared to F1. I hope both series gains mre exposure and coverage. as the Cars look brilliant.
Or cars are getting knife edge to drive again. F1 seems to go through stages where the cars get a bit faster but easier to drive, and then ones where they get a lot faster but harder to drive. Harder to drive is better for spectators, but does make drivers look silly when things go wrong.
I think there genuinely should be a discussion among the drivers about the racing standards. That can't genuinely be the level of future F1 drivers. Looks more like common amateur hour
Things you never say after watching an f2 race: "I don't think there were enough red bull liveried cars"
BWT: "I ruin the most liveries."
Red Bull: "Hold my energy drink."
lol
Or.... I wish Mahaveer would make a comeback...

Something I noticed being criminally unnoticed, is during the F3 feature race, Pepe Marti (in his rookie season) went from p30 all the way up to P9, whilst finishing about 12 seconds ahead of his team mate in p10
He’s not a rookie, he completed a full season last year…….
Rookie or not, it's still quite impressive

The whole weekend in Melbourne just had some sort of chaotic atmosphere about it and it’s not just the F1. But also F2, F3 and V8s
And Porsche Carrera Cup. One of them ended up on it's roof don't forget.
I swear the scariest thing on the broadcasts this year is "isack hadjar team radio" appearing on the graphic
You didn't even mention all the Supercars catching fire 😂
And starting the Sunday race under the safety car because they didn't trust them not to crash 😂

Colapinto obviously took his tips on “how to deal with a high speed puncture” by watching old episodes of Police Interceptors
That is a damn good show
The Australian Superscars support races were just as shambollock too, not sure if they were broadcast in the uk though.
imo if f2/f3 go to a brand new track like they did here, they need more practice before the races.
