When you said you recognized Michael Schumacher's name, it's probably because he's arguably the greatest F1 driver of all time. Can't say he's racing anymore, however. He retired at the end of 2012, and then afterwards had a skiing accident that resulted in a life-altering brain injury. His son Mick still races though, and he's doing fairly well for himself.
Oo I want to argue. I unironically think lewis has a slightly more impressive career. While I think it's fair to argue he's had a better car on average I'd say he also had better team mates on average. Any thoughts?
@@kumaflamewar6524 What separates the two is Michael resorting to dirty tactics at times. Don't get me wrong I have a lot of love for the guy but it sucks that he felt the need to do that when he's so talented.
For Romain crash (the last one), the fuel cell is just behind the seat, and the exact position were the car split in two. So, even if this cell is made to be resiliant, the G force were so extreme that it broke, expand fuel on the exhaust pipe. That's why it catch fire, and because it's the started of the race he was full on fuel (100kg of fuel).
Ah that makes sense. I’ve seen that crash many times but never really looked into why it happened. Thanks for educating me! It’s sort of nuts that even after all the safety precautions being taken, that crashes like this still happen- just goes to show how dangerous driving a car that fast really is. Respect to the drivers for doing it week in and week out!
@@tylertheamerican1858 Yeah, and the FIA, to know exactly what happened and improve safety kept the helmet and the car into their lab during several month. I think they had give back the helmet to Romain, but kept the car as a model in a museum or something like that. The part where the drivers is sitting is call a "survival cell", and it's almost indestructible (it go through the barrier, keeping Grosjean safe, instaed of being destroyed with the driver inside). During the past few years, FIA made really big change in safety measure, and a 'fun' fact, Romain Grosjean was agains the Halo at first ^^ good for him they didn't listen because it saves his life.
The tyres bouncing have not caused fatalities for drivers in f1 but the debris has killed marshals in the past. The USA one was at Indianapolis. The track was actually fairly good until the tyre failures of 2005. It meant that only 6 cars could start the race and set back interest in the sport in the US massively. The 2009 crash didn’t look as bad as it actually was. As the commentator said, a spring had fallen of the car ahead. When massa came round it collided with his helmet knocking him out. He ended up with brain damage from the incident and while he would return to f1 the following year he was never the championship contender that he had been before
Rolling starts are pretty much unanimously hated by F1 fans as it's more entertaining because it requires the drivers to get the perfect launch since the cars don't have traction control
With Grosjean at the end, the car split in half, which is why so much fuel was able to come out and ignite on the hot engine. Plus, it was at the start of the race, and since they don't refuel in F1 the car was completely loaded with 110kg of fuel. Saw this live and thought he was a goner.
It is indy, it used this track as the USA until Austin [COTA] came into place. Edit: the thing you were in about was called the halo, it has saved a few lives ever since it was in f1 2nd Edit: Grosjean catching on fire was the fuel going out if the car. Any fatal crashes in this time period [either than jules bianchi crash] was Memorial/test event
The halo was introduced in 2018 following Jules Bianchi’s fatal crash in 2014. In a wet race at Suzuka he lost control of his car and veered right towards the run-off area and collided with the rear of a tractor crane which was removing another car, that spun out of control and crashed in the same area a lap before. With no halo back then his car went under the crane and got wedged. Causing him massive head injuries. It was a massive driving force for pushing the halo through. We’ve seen a lot of incidents since, including Grojeans, which prove that the halo has undoubtedly saved lives since.
Standing starts are more exciting because there is more opportunity for someone to make up places off the start. Rolling starts are boring in that regard. Yes, it comes with increased crash risk, but it's better racing.
I would love for f1 to come back to indy. The last race there left a terrible taste in the mouth but with more exposure from Alonso and Grosjean in recent years as well as how successful COTA has been I think the Indy road course could make a great comeback
The start/restart of the race into the first few corners does tend to see the most crashes as that's when all the cars are closest together, there's just more happening at that point Re: tyres, under current rules they have to be attached to the car with a tether cable to ensure that they don't fly off into the marshals areas or into the stands
unfortunately the first crash in the compilation actually was fatal. the tyre that you very briefly see shoot off to our right struck a track marshal and killed him instantly
Its f1, you havw a standing statt in f1 thats Tradition, a standing start is a Exiting thing and its normal, they say a Rolling start can be saver but we Could make a speedlimit at 30 mph and overtaking just in the start finish straight this would be the savest thing, its f1, its a standing start

The first crash was actually a fatal one. A Marshall died after he got hit by a tyre

Yeah was a spring from Rubens Barrichello's car...

The halo and him not falling unconcious saved him.
Grojean

140 mph straight into the wall , i guess there is some fire
Spa (Belgium) 1998 was the best (if you can call a crash best) but no one was hurt s far as I recall, amazing to watch, I remember it live.
The start is the point all the cars are closest together
The halo was introduced in 2018 following Jules Bianchi’s fatal crash in 2014.

We’ve seen a lot of incidents since, including Grojeans, which prove that the halo has undoubtedly saved lives since.
If you think about it there's bound to be more collisions at the start simply because they're all bunched together. The "cage thing" is called a halo.
Standing starts are more exciting because there is more opportunity for someone to make up places off the start. Rolling starts are boring in that regard. Yes, it comes with increased crash risk, but it's better racing.
The cages your on about are called the halo
Thank shean todd for the halo
"Non-Fatal" and the very first clip is where a Marshall was killed.
I would love for f1 to come back to indy. The last race there left a terrible taste in the mouth but with more exposure from Alonso and Grosjean in recent years as well as how successful COTA has been I think the Indy road course could make a great comeback
When Massa got hit by the spring.... horrible.
If you want to see madness on two wheeles check motogp, moto3 and moto2
You didn't watch Zhou's accident during the 2022 British GP
The start/restart of the race into the first few corners does tend to see the most crashes as that's when all the cars are closest together, there's just more happening at that point
Re: tyres, under current rules they have to be attached to the car with a tether cable to ensure that they don't fly off into the marshals areas or into the stands
Are rolling starts safer?? I mean when you reach turn 1 you are going at a higher speed?!
Fair point. I’m not too sure- would love to see some data on that
Nah this is a bad take. Rolling starts are effectively safety car re starts and there’s way less drama on a re start compared to a standing start
unfortunately the first crash in the compilation actually was fatal. the tyre that you very briefly see shoot off to our right struck a track marshal and killed him instantly

we don't have cages in f1 and probably never will
