Kubi is one of the great 'what ifs' of F1. Imagine if he weren't injured and could stay in the sport. Even if he stayed with Renault and later Lotus, he would've been epic alongside Kimi.
@Alan ALI 12 Yeah he let him win. And you're gonna to ignore the fact that RK in 7/8 laps I'm not exactly sure how much laps it was, has created a gap over 20sec. That's why he won. Heidfeld let him through because he didn't expect that RK will be able to be ahead of him after the pitstop.
Jackie Stewart and Francois Cevert were like father and son, everything Jackie knew he was passing it to Francois. Jackie wanted to see Francois succeed so much that Jackie planned to retire in his 100th GP at Watking Glen so that Francois could be Tyrrell's number one driver in 1974. But after Francois was killed in practice at Watkins Glen, Jackie decided to withdraw from the event and retired right away ending his career with 99 Grand Prix starts. Rest In Peace Francois Cevert, another king without crown.
In my opinion Robert was one of the best drivers in the world. If he hadn't had his accident, we would have easily seen an extremely large number of wins from him! And if you can do another kind of performance with such an arm, it's just amazing.
Yup. Kubica was criminal underrated in 2019. And Kubica was the Polish Alonso. Kubica did things with the Renault, what He shouldnt be able to. Nando did things with the McLaren and Ferrari what shouldnt had Happen. Just with the difference, that Alonso had bad cars and the Renault wasn't Bad, but Just a midfield car
Not an opinion, but a fact. Never had the best car, but just like Alonso always made the maximum out of all of them. He was so heavily disrespected by all the "fans" as well as by the team in '19.
That, and maybe this is an odd comparison, but it is a bit like Rocky VI, it's not so much about the victories, but about still being able. His comeback alone brought me to tears back then. That single point he got was worth a million. Personally i also love when new guys finally get their succes. When Gasley, Perez, Ocon won, and Ricciardo again this year....it gave me the feeling that Max and Lewis may have lost, but the sport itself wins.
Jean Alesi cursed Kubica. "After the race, Jean Alesi was there. He came to congratulate me and said ‘Don’t do the same as me’. I asked ‘What do you mean?’ And he said: ‘I won just one, in Canada!’"
As much as we joke about Maldonado, he was an unbelievable driver on any given race weekend. .. It's just a shame he crashed so much. His F1 game stats would be like 92 pace, 10 race craft
@@rickstrolled970 2012 season perfectly summed up his career. When he stayed out of trouble, he was racing the likes of Alonso, Hamilton, Button, Webber, and Rosberg throughout the season, but he also would completely lose focus and make so many mistakes as soon as it looked like he was becoming a top rated driver. So much pace, but so little consistency
Williams could have been in a waaaay better position nowadays if it weren't for Maldonado and Senna losing so many points in 2012. They threw away so many points in Australia (5th place), Malaysia, Bahrain (double DNF), Spain (Schumi crash), Monaco, Valencia (crash), Belgium (jump start), Brazil (double crash)... Finished 8th in constructors but could have easily been 5th in front of Mercedes... This pretty much sealed their faith for the next decade. They lost out on so much money. And in 2013n only 5 points...
Nannini's story was almost exactly the same (swap helicopter for rally car, and rotor blade for barrier). Nannini also went on to very successfully race in the DTM, and did some (light) testing after recouperation, but never raced in F1 again.
It still hurts that Kubica has just 1 win when in fact he was being talked about as the next WDC before his accident. Whatever it is, you're a legend Robert!

The fact that Cevert Won in the same circuit he would die makes it even more emotional. He passed hundreds of times at the same turn he would end cut in half..... Horrible Tragedy
Alesi may be the most unlucky driver in history, but with his one victory, he also has the most legendary victory lap in F1 history... The picture of him standing on the car while Michael drives is beyond EPIC!
Media always afraid to tell the truth about Lewis. 11:18 - It wasn't a "collision" which implies both drivers are equally guilty. It was LH crashing into Kimi, who was waiting at the red light at the pit exit, by the rules.
Just shows you how much the FIA were against Senna. "He was disqualified for rejoining via the escape road" this is exactly what you should do? What was better that he reversed back onto the track into oncoming traffic
There is a video of the driver briefing at Susuka 1990, Senna and Balestri get into a heated argument because of that. Just by the way he treats the driver you can see that he was a c*ck
Robert Kubica was not only a one win wonder. His pace was so strong back then. He finished 4th in the driver standings in 2008 in a shitbox. If it was not for his accident, he would have become a Ferrari driver and a world champion.
True. I think it's just a bad choice of words for this video title. Most of these drivers were brilliant but just couldn't match up to the best champions or cars on the field, but are still worthy of being remembered.
He would have become a Ferrari driver (assuming you believe the myth) Great, he's about to become a driver for them right before Mercedes dominate everything and he'd never get a sniff at a title.
@@morfeusz525 It's not surprising that he has one a race. It surprises me even more that he hasn't won more races. It was no wonder. It was just a matter of time until he won his first race. If the accident never happened he probably would have had as many race wins like Ricciardo and Verstappen.
Seeing my countryman Pastor Maldonado in the thumbnail of an F1 video titled "Top 10 One Win Wonders" truly makes me smile in both pride and irony, Thank you F1, you made my day now! XD...
@@tiax1592 Prost said at the time he didn't see Senna coming up the inside. Now he admits he knew Senna was there and still turned into the corner, so there was psychology on both sides of the incident in 1989. Prost has more former teammates that didn't like him than Senna. That speaks volumes.
@@AssassinoDB that's what I thought so there was either a mistake or the sentence wasn't complete. Or, it's been so long since the start of Mercedes dominance that they forgot there was a time Hamilton was not in a Mercedes.

Maldonado is not a one season wonder. Guy took a below average williams car to consistent top q3s whereas his teammate bruno senna kept getting knocked out in q1
Great qualifying performances don't mean anything if you constantly crash out during races... Williams lost too many points in 2012 due to both drivers crashing out too much. Australia, Bahrain, Europe, Monaco, Brazil... All while challenging for great point scoring finishes.
If anyone watches Josh Revell's video on him, you will soon understand that he is not quite the slow driver as many thought. It's just his high tendency to put his car into the barrier, his incosistency and inabilty to supress his anger that really paints his career in a bad, jokingly way. Spain 2012 really shows us what happens if he decided to keep his composure down and wins the race.
@@3ormorecharactersmaybe5 I think most of us know that, he had the speed but his tendency to crash into others and how "funny" and crazy many of them were made him become a legendary meme.
For now he joins the infuriatingly long list of french drivers who only scored one win. Beltoise, Cevert, Panis, Alesi, Gasly and now Ocon. Let's see if either Gasly or Ocon can break the curse. Although they would then join an almost equally long list of french drivers with two wins...
2:13 portuguese isn't spanish in spanish, josé is [xoˈse], but in portuguese it's [ʒuˈzɛ] (in portugal) or [ʒoˈzɛ] (in brazil). the J is a similar to a J in french, a [ʒ] sound. also, in portuguese, a C before an I or an E makes a [s] sound (before other vowels, it's a [k] sound). it's not a [tʃ] sound.
I imagine it’s both thrilling and maddening to have only one win in F1. Thrilling because so many never win a single race but maddening to taste it one time and never have the experience again.
I would have thought Giancarlo Baghetti would have been the ultimate one win wonder as he won on his debut. There's quite a few others that are surely worth a mention eg Jochen Mass, Jo Bonnier, Peter Gethin, Ludovico Scarfiotti and Vittorio Brambrilla.
You literally support a driver who can only win by cheating and will never amount to anything in the sport without it (Leclerc) and this is the stupidest comment I have seen
"Although he returned to f1 in 2019 he never reached the heights in Montreal" I mean he was in a Williams he wasnt gonna pull up trees in that dog of a car
I don't know why nobody not expect Robert's in grid of Alfa Romeo in 2022. 1st he is same talent as Hamilton, Rosberg, Alonso, Kimi etc. + 2nd he had huge petro sponsor PKN Orlen in his pocket. These are the two dependencies that should give it a seat in 2022 ! Hope

This is kind of narration I would like to see in movie about Kubica... where the team decissions may have costed him WC... some facts, some fiction, some humor, a lot of drama.
4:40 Maldonado drove with great composure ... Never imagined Maldonado and composure in the same sentence
It’s crazy to think how f1 has changed for drivers age wise. In the old times drivers were still seen in their primes around mid to late 30s nowadays if a driver is near 30s people are wanting them replaced by a driver who’s barely even 18 yet
It's almost like Vettel, Hamilton, Raikkonen, Riciardo, Perez and Bottas don't exist.
@@caphowdy666 Out of that list, only Hamilton is still a WDC contender. The rest are decent or midfield drivers. Age wears away one's reflexes, so it's perfectly reasonable to want a young driver in this regard.
@@liamcdm3689 That has nothing to do with anything. The reason most of them are not in with a shot at the title is due to the cars they are in. And that has nothing to do with the original post I was replying to. Nobody wants these older guys replaced by younger guys, they want the likes of Stroll and Latifi replaced, not the likes of Bottas, Alonso and Vettel. People actually want those guys to do better. And if you think Hamilton is the only one who is a WDC contender, why is Perez ahead of him in the standings and getting better race results?
@@caphowdy666 Hamilton isn't a contender this season. This season's an outlier for him.
@@liamcdm3689 You just said he was the only one on that list that was a title contender, and I pointed out that Perez is, now you are saying Hamilton is not this year. None of this, as I say has anything to do with the point that I was making that next to nobody is saying these guys should be replaced.
The fact that Cevert Won in the same circuit he would die makes it even more emotional.
He passed hundreds of times at the same turn he would end cut in half.....
Horrible Tragedy
I'm so happy that my hero Francois Cevert is in there! He would have been a WDC one day if not for Watkins Glen :(
To think that the halo would save him it hurts so much
The Glen giveth and the Glen taketh
@@tobias03coimbra52 Not sure the halo would have saved him TBH.
Alesi may be the most unlucky driver in history, but with his one victory, he also has the most legendary victory lap in F1 history...
The picture of him standing on the car while Michael drives is beyond EPIC!
4:35 Ah yes Lewis already at Mercedes
Well yesn't
Maybe they mean his mercedes engine, which is what let him down
@Alan ALI 12 oh ok
Media always afraid to tell the truth about Lewis.
11:18 - It wasn't a "collision" which implies both drivers are equally guilty.
It was LH crashing into Kimi, who was waiting at the red light at the pit exit, by the rules.
Just shows you how much the FIA were against Senna. "He was disqualified for rejoining via the escape road" this is exactly what you should do? What was better that he reversed back onto the track into oncoming traffic
U mean maFIA?
There is a video of the driver briefing at Susuka 1990, Senna and Balestri get into a heated argument because of that. Just by the way he treats the driver you can see that he was a c*ck
Politics always ruled F1, just right now maFIA does everything they can to help Mercedes and their golden boy Lewis.
@@aesir1ases64 aged well
Robert Kubica was not only a one win wonder. His pace was so strong back then. He finished 4th in the driver standings in 2008 in a shitbox. If it was not for his accident, he would have become a Ferrari driver and a world champion.
True. I think it's just a bad choice of words for this video title. Most of these drivers were brilliant but just couldn't match up to the best champions or cars on the field, but are still worthy of being remembered.
He was closer to winning the title in 2008 than Ferrari has been after 2008
''Robert Kubica was not a one win wonder'' one win wonder means a person who only won once. so um...
He would have become a Ferrari driver (assuming you believe the myth)
Great, he's about to become a driver for them right before Mercedes dominate everything and he'd never get a sniff at a title.
@@morfeusz525 It's not surprising that he has one a race. It surprises me even more that he hasn't won more races. It was no wonder. It was just a matter of time until he won his first race. If the accident never happened he probably would have had as many race wins like Ricciardo and Verstappen.
Seeing my countryman Pastor Maldonado in the thumbnail of an F1 video titled "Top 10 One Win Wonders" truly makes me smile in both pride and irony, Thank you F1, you made my day now! XD...
Now Venezuela is famous because of inflation...

Pretty sure he was still driving for Mclaren at that time
I'm guessing she said Mclaren Mercedes, but who ever did the edit probably cut it out by accident.
My historical details are ****, Bono
That escape road rule that Senna lost the championship must be one of the biggest daylight robberies of logic in motorsport.
Jean-Marie Balestre at its finest
He lost the championship when he tried to barge Prost out of the way.
@@thiscocks no he did not. that was not why his win was disqualified you nitwit.
@@tiax1592 Well that was why he crashed you flid
@@tiax1592 Prost said at the time he didn't see Senna coming up the inside. Now he admits he knew Senna was there and still turned into the corner, so there was psychology on both sides of the incident in 1989. Prost has more former teammates that didn't like him than Senna. That speaks volumes.
Was Hamilton already in a Mercedes in 2012 ? I thought he was in a McLaren and joined Mercedes in 2013...
You are correct.
Lewis Hamilton joined Mercedes in 2013, in 2012 he was in McLaren, check with wikipedia if you are not sure.
Yeah, she is wrong there
Either that or they meant Mercedes engine maybe ? Idk
@@AssassinoDB that's what I thought so there was either a mistake or the sentence wasn't complete. Or, it's been so long since the start of Mercedes dominance that they forgot there was a time Hamilton was not in a Mercedes.
McLaren Mercedes was a thing guys. Their split was kind of a big deal.
Many of these drivers were taken too soon and could have achieved so much more. True legends in my eyes!
Driver gets their Maiden race win
Helicopters: Allow us to introduce ourselves
Kubica was a big example how possible to someone against trauma until WIN at the place that almost killed him. If we are in his shoes, it could be huge PTSD for us and become last race after faced that horrific moment. Salute Kubica
Senna's DSQ in Japan 89 is the biggest robbery in F1 history no doubt

Hopefully Pierre & Esteban can get their next soon
Honestly... I think Pierre will join this list.
Pierre will definitely be on this list the kid has no hope anymore unfortunately. Ocon still has something to go off being managed by toto and quite close to the Mercedes team, Gasly had his chance and blew it. Red Bull bringing him back to the main team would look bad on RB
@@GlockGrippa If Pierre gathers the confidence he can win a lot of races when he is in the right car
@@Lars._ He's proven he can win races now I'm not disputing that, it's just unfortunately he won't get a seat with a top team to be able to demonstrate that

4:36 "When Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes was excluded from qualifying". The dream combo arrived early.
Maldonado is not a one season wonder. Guy took a below average williams car to consistent top q3s whereas his teammate bruno senna kept getting knocked out in q1
Great qualifying performances don't mean anything if you constantly crash out during races... Williams lost too many points in 2012 due to both drivers crashing out too much. Australia, Bahrain, Europe, Monaco, Brazil... All while challenging for great point scoring finishes.
If anyone watches Josh Revell's video on him, you will soon understand that he is not quite the slow driver as many thought.
It's just his high tendency to put his car into the barrier, his incosistency and inabilty to supress his anger that really paints his career in a bad, jokingly way.
Spain 2012 really shows us what happens if he decided to keep his composure down and wins the race.
No one said that, he is a one win wonder, thats a fact.
BTW, Frankie >>>> PE Ole lol
@@3ormorecharactersmaybe5 I think most of us know that, he had the speed but his tendency to crash into others and how "funny" and crazy many of them were made him become a legendary meme.
2012 Williams was a fast car but the drivers were bad. This one time Maldonado performed really well.
Their is a mistake in the video. Lewis Hamiltions "Mercedes" was excluded from quali. Lewis was still at Maclaren in 2012!
It was McLaren Mercedes, i guess they left ‘McLaren’ away to keep that part short enough.
@@markzijnrules Mercedes existed in 2012 with Rosberg and Schumacher.

Everytime Cevert pops up anywhere......my heart just breaks....
Don't jinx Ocon please, hopefully he doesn't end up on this list!
Also Pierre Gasly
Gasly too
Gasly still has chance for another win
I can feel it
For now he joins the infuriatingly long list of french drivers who only scored one win. Beltoise, Cevert, Panis, Alesi, Gasly and now Ocon. Let's see if either Gasly or Ocon can break the curse. Although they would then join an almost equally long list of french drivers with two wins...
That 2004 Renault is one of the most beautiful f1 car ever.

portuguese isn't spanish
in spanish, josé is [xoˈse], but in portuguese it's [ʒuˈzɛ] (in portugal) or [ʒoˈzɛ] (in brazil). the J is a similar to a J in french, a [ʒ] sound.
also, in portuguese, a C before an I or an E makes a [s] sound (before other vowels, it's a [k] sound). it's not a [tʃ] sound.
I agree with you, But "Pace" is an Italian last name.
We all know Maldonado's win wasnt a fluke. it was bound to happen
Pastor Maldonado - the most underrated driver in the last 20 years. Last winner for williams.
I imagine it’s both thrilling and maddening to have only one win in F1. Thrilling because so many never win a single race but maddening to taste it one time and never have the experience again.
I would have thought Giancarlo Baghetti would have been the ultimate one win wonder as he won on his debut. There's quite a few others that are surely worth a mention eg Jochen Mass, Jo Bonnier, Peter Gethin, Ludovico Scarfiotti and Vittorio Brambrilla.
