End of an era! Huge thanks to you guys and to Veloce Esports for making these events possible. I'll never forget how lucky I was to take part in such a huge period for sim racing.
Now that this is finished and the global pandemic still exists, f1 2020 is coming out, we still need entertainment and well, RUclipsr championship seems like it could work............
they never were rivals or are „friends“... in the meantime those F1 drivers surely forgot their names. They just played some video games for a few times, that‘s all
@@chadvader93 Lol...Really? I am 100% sure Lando and Leclerc would acknowledge him if someday asked about him. Do you really think F1 drivers are such assholes?
@@حارس-م3ي dream scenario: Max takes out both Mercs at the start, but can continue and finishes 3rd after a drive-through, just behind Norris and Albon
Love watching you battle lando in the beginning and trying to beat lando, to him being your engineer at Monaco, amazing how close the f1 drivers have become with the youtubers, thank you ben this has been one of the greatest things to happen to f1 in a while
@@Thewhitetile Yeah also looking more into their everyday lives at their own homes... It was a nice change of pace I guess you can call it that.. Definitely gonna miss seeing that tho but now real life tracks await.
The moment that Lando and Ben started becoming friends was when Ben said "haven't you always just been a number 2 driver?" To which Lando said "can I just mute you on the discord" and Ben said "I'll just mute myself". That moment showed to Lando that Ben wasn't going treat him differently because he was an F1 driver. We forget that F1 drivers are humans too and just want that normal life (which is kind of coincidental) so when Ben treated him like a human and bantered with him, it changed Lando's perception on him. Lando and Ben racing/Bantering was so good to watch.
Can we just appreciate the things Ben went through as well? I remember I first watched Ben in high school where he didn't had that great of equipment to work with and had to play games with a lot of difficulties and now he got to race many real life F1 drivers in his own turf. Brilliant.
Man you really deserve the success! You have worked hard for this, and look at you now, almost 500k subs, driving with f1 pros, legendary football players and other celebrities. Much love from Sweden!
Just getting caught up on my videos, but I REALLY enjoyed your videos this spring. There was one Saturday morning ( California time) that you and your buddies and some F1 drivers including Charles, I was doing yard work and listening live , ( through a Bluetooth hearing aid app) and I was laughing SOOOO HARD my neighbors were peeking over the fence at me! Thanks so very much!
I will really miss this. I really hope that they bring back the Virtual GPs during summer/winter breaks every now and again, it was just so fun watching real-life F1 drivers racing against normal everyday people like Ben and being relatable. It definitely cheered all of us up during these times. Thank you Veloce, very epic :)
Im only a casual follower, but that must have been awesome racing with F1 drivers. I saw a few races on TV and you were always right in the mix. Well done.
Man its been crazy, I'm glad I found your channel just time. I love how much I've learned about the F1 drivers the most i think. How they aren't just the monotone statues who sit in fast cars lol
Thanks Ben and all the drivers for making the best of a bad situation and bringing everyone a much needed distraction! I have been watching you for a long time and will continue too. I hope there are some virtual events with F1 drivers when the off season comes.
I hadn't watched F1 for about a decade because I found it boring after a while, caught these F1 drivers streaming and I'm hooked the comedy between them is gold. I want a top gearesque show with lando, George and Albon in the future
The comment from Lando about second driver, he in fact WAS second driver in 2019 given he was a rookie compared to fifth-year Sainz (who was in his first year at McLaren after two-plus at Toro Rosso and one-plus at Renault)
I watched a lot of the streams. They genuinely liked you man. You had great pace with them, too. It was entertaining to watch a RUclipsr go against F1 "kids" lol
"So what did you spend your lockdown doing?" "Spent time with the dogs, lost some weight, baked some banana bread, you?" "Spent my time racing most of the F1 grid" "..."
This is why the F1 streams during the lock down were way better than Nascar and Indy. They didn't take it too seriously. Too many serious races were kind of weird as there was such a sim experience gap. Nascar wasn't too bad, but Indy was a shit show. Lando mopped them up (granted, Indy oval racing is VERY hard to properly simulate.)

We've gotta thank you Ben for creating brilliant content for us viewers whilst in lockdown

12:40 I've never seen you that happy before and I wish to see it again
Love how you and Lando go from intense rivals to good friends after a couple of races!
I hope they are good enough friends to race together again after the F1 season!
they never were rivals or are „friends“... in the meantime those F1 drivers surely forgot their names. They just played some video games for a few times, that‘s all
chadvader93 no they where genuine friends
It’s brilliant
@@chadvader93 Lol...Really? I am 100% sure Lando and Leclerc would acknowledge him if someday asked about him. Do you really think F1 drivers are such assholes?
Your bucket list must've been ticked off by now.
the only way I can improve from here is if I race Ricciardo or Hamilton. That's bucket list completed then ;)
Tiametmarduk did you actually end up racing George Russell in the end or nah?
@@Tiametmarduk Fair.
Ben: * picks Sainz * "I'll pick the quicker McLaren driver"
Lando: WANNA FITE
I like the way lecterc Norris and Ben actually get on really well 😂
F1 Lockdown was one of the greatest things I have ever seen in my whole life.
Agreed... For me it was worth the quarantine we had over here... At least for myself ofc lol
The only disappointing part of the f1 season finally starting.
and then we had the best race in F1 in 5 years
we just had the best race probably in a decade
@@NNNIELSEN Nah, Germany 2019 was better
Its the last year of development so theoretically this should be the years where the cars are the closest in terms of performance
@@kingtrails5348 what do you mean last year ?
That hockenheim race was the best on this game
I loved that one too!
"OH HE'S DONE A ROSBERG!" has got to be the best moment of quarantine F1
"I'm side by side with Lando Norris like, what is going on *_*"
"SCREEEW YOOOU!!"
That had me rolling on the floor for a while
I thought I was the only one laughing at that part 😭😭😭
Lando in p4. I love how Ferrari is like out of the top picture until Hungary. Should be interesting
Hope he gets podium
@@حارس-م3ي Yoo seriously me too
@@حارس-م3ي dream scenario: Max takes out both Mercs at the start, but can continue and finishes 3rd after a drive-through, just behind Norris and Albon
Commentators - Racing point quick
Norris - Be wrong boiiiiiiiii
@@حارس-م3ي albon too

The memories, some great racing in these clips!!!
Not gonna lie, I probably liked this virtual racing more than I would the regular season.
It provided such a unique experience to be able to hear the drivers talk to each other and watch from different angles.
@@Thewhitetile Yeah also looking more into their everyday lives at their own homes... It was a nice change of pace I guess you can call it that.. Definitely gonna miss seeing that tho but now real life tracks await.

Lando and Ben racing/Bantering was so good to watch.
being around Ben will be great training for Lando next year when he's alongside Daniel.
Because of the Australian lag? (I know Ben lives in the UK but still)
Late breaking is key
I hope this can happen again at some point, the drivers looked so into it and the content was just so entertaining
Can we just appreciate the things Ben went through as well? I remember I first watched Ben in high school where he didn't had that great of equipment to work with and had to play games with

Ben uploads a 25 minute video
Me: This is gonna be a good one...

I love this montage, I will forever come back to this as a reminder of the good times over the past 3 months 😂
I laugh every time I see TRL_Limitless react when Ben overtakes him at Monaco. “What is he doing?”.....lol
7:01 Loooolll it's Latifi in Austria Qualifying yesterday
I will really miss this.

Im only a casual follower, but that must have been awesome racing with F1 drivers. I saw a few races on TV and you were always right in the mix. Well done.
So when can we have F1 RUclipsr Championship with you, Matt, Noble, Aarava, Scott, Leclerc, Norris, Latifi and Verstappen?
Verstappen only plays real sim games.
Man its been crazy, I'm glad I found your channel just time. I love how much I've learned about the F1 drivers the most i think. How they aren't just the monotone statues who sit in fast cars lol
Tears in my eyes watching Ben ascend into the pantheon of F1 Lockdown greats
Charles and Lando are going to make the F1 great for years to come, top class lads!
Thanks Ben and all the drivers for making the best of a bad situation and bringing everyone a much needed distraction! I have been watching you for a long time and will continue too. I hope there are some virtual events with F1 drivers when the off season comes.
I’ll never forget these times thank you so much for it Ben and veloce I and many others really appreciate it :)
21:32 THE BEST EVER
Wow you fought with a podium winner, thats another tick off the bucket list... very happy for you my dude
Looking back on this after 5 months and the season has ended, just so wholesome to watch
This was a massive step up for f1 esports and it sad to see it end but i am happy to f1 season start again it was fun to wach all this happen
I hadn't watched F1 for about a decade because I found it boring after a while, caught these F1 drivers streaming and I'm hooked the comedy between them is gold. I want a top gearesque show with lando, George and Albon in the future
11:10 almost what happened last weekend in the Styria gp
Ben this is your coolest video. This is history, 20 years from now this video will be a piece of history from a remarkable year.
The comment from Lando about second driver, he in fact WAS second driver in 2019 given he was a rookie compared to fifth-year Sainz (who was in his first year at McLaren after two-plus at Toro Rosso and one-plus at Renault)
15:40 Albon is heard everywhere
damn... the race in the game is much more intense than actual race lol. love it
love the bromance between ben and lando growing through the series
15:58 Lando doing the Hail Melon before it was cool.
Despite all the negativity of COVID-19, this was a really special time.
I watched a lot of the streams. They genuinely liked you man. You had great pace with them, too. It was entertaining to watch a RUclipsr go against F1 "kids" lol
"So what did you spend your lockdown doing?"
"Spent time with the dogs, lost some weight, baked some banana bread, you?"
"Spent my time racing most of the F1 grid"
"..."
Aarav: swears
Me: 😮
Real F1 will never compare to the banter and awesomeness of these three months.
19:20 So that's where this originiated from 😂
Drinking game for Baku:
1 shot for every time Charles says 'Mahavier'
2 shots when he screams 🤣
2:45 for the same move (even milder) Hamilton got 5 a second penality,lol
This is why the F1 streams during the lock down were way better than Nascar and Indy. They didn't take it too seriously. Too many serious races were kind of weird as there was such a sim experience gap. Nascar wasn't too bad, but Indy was a shit show. Lando mopped them up (granted, Indy oval racing is VERY hard to properly simulate.)
16:13 Seb at Austria quali
Crazy how this was four years ago. Covid brought a lot of people together. This was hilarious as the first time 😂
Watching 7:20 after Lando has just got his first podium lol
Lando is an absolute character and racing scally.
5:33 is that Felix von der Laden the german youtuber on the 12th place?
Congrats to McLaren and Lando on the podium for today's race.
what a great time it was...i really enjoyed it. thank you ben
9:47 I made it mum😂😂😂
0:09 CAUTION FOR HEADPHONE USERS LIKE ME ON FULL VOLUME
Man have you not watched a tiametmarduk video? You should have been prepared lol
Louis” I need a spotter” Aarav”Yeah I’ll spot you” *less than a second later Louis spins into him 😂😂
Ian is actually hilarious! He needs play with the lads more often!
To think this guy has more podiums then nico hulkenburg
12:38 Whats the musics name?
11:31 what the f was that scream 😂😂😂
Norris with you..... Im almost crying xD
14:00 the salt was real
19:22 a sneak peak of lando with Danny ricc
it was fun to watch! you aren't done with F1 drivers i can assure you. they will sit you in a F1 car one day :D
I like how all the top drivers on RUclips don't use rigs......wheel mounted to a desk and a rolling office chair.
@13:04 Am I the only one who miss-heard that ?
If you want to know how Tiametmarduk and Lando "meet" all you need to do is watch the start of this video and it sums it up for ya.
the two guys in the thumbnail were on the podium....
Congrats for the 500K!!!
Charles in the Thunbnail: *SUZUKA! HAAA!*
This is just what I need to blow time waiting for f1 highligjts
Literally my next up video is quali highlights lol
That’s me at 09:58 LMAO I’ve made it booooys 🙅🏻♂️
Ben literally beat goatifi in equal cars, imagine the feeling of beating the best f1 driver to date in his on profession
I really hope we get some of this in the off season
I really want to know what song this is here at 12:33, this was an amazing f1 lockdown season
14:01 Matt predicted the future
Latifi may not speak French, but he DEFINATELY has a Montreal accent lol.
This was a super fun video to watch.
if im honest i kinda miss the virtual GP days
2:58 mini youtube bar
19:19 as ulan bayrakları as as as
18:09 😂
Obviously you've been giving lando some tips after today's performance
This is pure gold
My plan didn’t do as planned
Charles Leclerc, 2020
Finde es irgendwie krass wie einfach Deutsche RUclipsr dabei waren ^^
Because of the lockdown i got to race dan ticktum, arthur leclerc, mahaveer raghunathan, esteban ocon and max fewtrell. #blessed
noiceeeeeeeee
11:07
*"Charles, Ben is faster than you."*
F1 is back baby!
how the fuck did i never notice that my logo is on that logo filled car 5 times
It definitely paid off for lando
Yo Charles LeChair and Lando casually disrespecting Mahaveer, don't they know he's our lord and savior?
Anyone here after Lando just scored a cracking podium ?
Where did he get a podium? In a game?
