@@swattoolblaastoose1761 He didn't win it, yet.. Just podiums sadly. The #7 Toyota he drive in have a lot of "bad luck" for couple of years. The one who've been winning Le Mans is Nakajima in #8 Toyota (2 times).
Sato, Kobayashi, i loved them both especially Sato. He was great with BAR and Super Aguri. Canada 2007, great drive. We need Japanese driver on the grid.
Tsunoda is now in F1 so maybe he will be takin podiums with ease bcuz he was in GP2 only 1 year and finished 3rd in the drivers championship. Imagine in F1
Ahhh Kamui Kobayashi....what an exciting driver to watch. Made in the Toyota family just like Kazuki Nakajima, but stayed on for way longer in the sport in teams that had nothing to do with Toyota. In this day of paydrivers like Stroll and Ericsson, that in itself is impressive.
0:35 When Pedro saw that it was raining, he was like ''wait a second... I said it was gonna rain, and it rained? Thank you, God'' (For those who don't know the story, Pedro usually fails the weather prediction. For example, before the Hungarian GP Qualifying session, he said ''it's not going to rain at all'', and we all know what happened hahaha)

Sponsorship. It got so bad that he started an online donation page in 2014 asking fans to provide funding for him to have a seat which it failed miserably.
It's amazing to see the pure joy they get from making the podium, even if it's only third place. And you can see the other drivers are exited for them aswell. Great video!
1:30 And to think he won another race here going the opposite direction. I think Sato is the only driver to podium in both the US GP and the Indianapolis 500
Jyrki Järvilehto had so much potential ( He were maybe faster than Mika Häkkinen back in their karting days) but sadly he had dangerous crash in Silvestone before the 1994 season. By my knowing his neck never recovered from that and it could be intresting to see what he could do with 1994 Benetton as healthy.
I remember the podium at hungary 2006 with Button in first, de la Rosa in second and Heidfeld in third position and for me this was the happiest podium I have seen in F1. :) Of all those drivers in these top 10 list I think Andretti was the worst of all. Unbelievably weak on track and a shame for McLaren. Sure the Car was 1993 not so good as in the years before but one race before his last at monza he had only 3 (!) points and Senna in comparison had 53 points... :-/
Andretti brought a lot of it on himself by refusing to move to Europe (where everyone was based) so he had to commute a lot. That said he also suffered by less practice laps (so he couldn't learn the tracks) and Senna's decision to stay with the team with the young upstart Mika Hakkinen waiting in the wings.
The crowd chanting "Ka-mu-i" at Suzuka 2012 still gives me chills. Miss him in F1, he was such a great talent with plenty of raw speed, shown by him smashing the Le Mans record 2 years ago and getting pole again this year, going faster than even Fernando Alonso.
That shot of Sato flying past at 1:33 was insane. I know modern camera angles are set up to include sponsors. This is devaluing the on-car branding, diverting money from the teams to the tracks/media owners and reducing the camera operator's ability to make engaging shots, focused purely on action. What liberty media are doing on RUclips is great but the actual live TV broadcast needs way better camera work with less of these wide sponsor shots. Too many decisions in the sport have been made at the expense of audience enjoyment, this is just another one.
Seriously that Maldonado's victory, which in a race that looked more like a parade of cars that did nothing, was considered in this top 10 the best. Kamui Kobayashi's P3 was much more magical for many of us. Maldonado dropped off the pole and won. Nothing else. Kobayashi on the pace got that P3.
How could you forgot Roberto Moreno? That was one of the most satisfying moments in F1 history. And people also always forgot about Nicola Larini finishing 2nd in the infamous 94 San Marino GP. That was his last race for Ferrari.
Maldonaldonaldo finishing 1st both in qualification and Race was one of the most random things i ever watched

Kamui Kobayashi is really great talented racer and still deserves comeback in F1.
What about that of Kevin Magnussen? Finished on the podium in his first ever race. I bet only a few have done that!
He's hasn't retired from F1 yet, though it would've been hilarious if they included existing drivers.
CHRoOMAX but he's still racing, think the list is about past drivers
CHRoOMAX If i’m not mistaken Alain Prost & Lewis Hamilton
Is there another current driver with just the one? (edit: hard think, Stroll, Baku...) Missed him as well, would be better pick than Monteiro imho
I bet no one "haas" done that
When you see all those average drivers with podium...
and you remember that HULKENBERG has not A SINGLE ONE yet!!!
Hulkenberg is so overated he is too shit.
Pablo I think the opposite. He's solid but not enough . . .
