Also remember in 2014 how whenever a car crashed hard the race engineer would tell the driver to jump to the ground and not touch the car and ground at the same time to avoid being electrocuted. The fact that this was a continuous thing throughout the season helps make this theory more believable
They still do this when there's a fault in the electrical system
And a few years ago, I remember Ricciardo retired his car but it took longer than usual to remove it because of the risk the marshalls had to be eletrocuted

sorry
Bruh, imagine being a McLaren staff member and hearing him wake up speaking Italian thinking he's at Ferrari, I would get chills instantly, that for sure is not normal
I can also imagine that Alonso had a small dropout that day, which no one could really explain. It didn't even really have to be the car itself. That would also explain why neither the team nor Alonso himself wanted to talk about it. Something similar once existed in my family. A relative drove his car at slow speed over a traffic island and did not respond to his wife's calls. Otherwise, everything was fine with him and nothing comparable ever happened again. He could not remember anything, although there was no accident with impact. As a consequence, he was not allowed to drive a car for a year, until he was allowed to do so again by the doctors. But a cause was never found. Something like that would be really tragic for an F1 driver, of course. Just a theory, but maybe something similar happened to Alonso at that time.
I remember once i was in my teen years at some local sporting club with my friends we were just hanging around, just a normal day. i remember at some point i "woke up" standing in the middle of a narrow hallway blocking the passage with 4 people behind me screaming out my name so i can move or get out the way. I have no idea how long i was standing there, how did i get there or why did i occur this weird mental lockup.
it never happened to me again, but i'll never forget it.
@@256k_ I had something similar happen once in my childhood where I was riding my bicycle, and all of a sudden I "woke up" a long ways away from the last place I could remember riding by. Didn't have a clue how I got there. Interesting to hear other people have had these weird instances also...
@@256k_ dude, this is crazy. I have never experienced something similar. Do you know what causes this?
@@256k_ hi 256k.
I found myself at the traffic lights at the end of the M1 in Hendon. Last thing I remember I was near Hemel Hempstead - Jct 9 or thereabouts. Fortunately, there was not a mark on my car, and I had stopped at the red lights. I was able to quickly realise where I was because I had worked in the area, and was actually based in Hendon, about 30 years before! (Nothing had changed particularly.) I had been aiming for the M25 on my way to the M4, though. I'd only done about ⅓ of the 300+ miles I needed to do that day. I kept stopping for rests and drinking so much coffee that I was forced to take loo breaks at each service station.
Many drivers have had "moments" where they couldn't tell you how they got somewhere, especially on the drive to or from somewhere like work, where you know every inch of the journey. It's surprising that more accidents _don't_ happen! I wonder if Alonso had a moment like that. How many laps of that track has he driven? It wasn't his fault, even if he did "blank out"; that car would probably have crashed anyway.
‘He woke up speaking Italian and thought he still drove for Ferrari.’ Honda: I cannot speak, if I speak I will be in trouble.
There is another version of the story where he woke up saying he raced karts
@@RS-jq4oc Honda: I cannot speak, If I speak I will be in trouble
I'm a huge Alonso fan. I remember when this first happened. There were reports of an electrical shock to Fernando. I read there was an issue with the KERS. Apparently, when the car came to rest after the accident, the track workers had to stand back from the car for about 20 minutes so the energy from the KERS would have disapated.
My Dad is a mechanical engineer. I asked him if this was possible. He said it was possible but doubtful; however, he was very surprised that Fernando was in the hospital for 3 days. At that point, my Dad agreed that there could be an issue with the KERS.
I'm still fan of KERS conspiracy. And will aways be a fan of Fernando.
they didn't have kers back then, probably an ERS issue
@@timzy4395 you need to have kers to recharge that batteries again
@@rul3s1232 ahh alright
@Josip Bogdan yeah i see, for no reason i thought ers and kers was the same thing lol.
@@timzy4395 hi Timzym
I was under the impression Alonso always disliked McLaren as a team, before he joined.
After he joined I suspect he hated it even more almost ruining his career with a crappy car for 5 seasons and counting
Well he drove for them in 2007 and we all know how his time there was. So yeah, he hated them with a pretty good reasoning
Alonso just probably wanted to achieve atleast some more glory with the reasonably hyped McLaren-Honda pairup
That only makes him look more stupid... Why go back to a team you dislike, and why let it go so far... (But we all know nobody at the time wanted him, for good reasons) Still a hell of a driver though.
Not McLaren. Ron Dennis.
@@GPFMotorsportNews better to get a drive than none at all i suppose
We need more of these and longer ones, similar to the f1 on the edge podcasts and the that time when wtf1 podcasts. I need to fill the winter break with some juicy f1 content.
perspective has more videos like this
Perspective is worth taking a look into.
Dw I'm uploading the first part of Iceberg series this week
Adding to the suggestion above, check Perspective. Not the best name ever for an F1 channel I know, but solid content there.
Thanks to everyone who suggested perspective, just started watching and I’m already gripped lol 😂
This is definitely one of the more odder crashes and there’s no question loads of conspiracy theories have been said about this one. Weird especially for a driver of Alonso’s caliber
Would’ve been a good sign that he was in for a shocking season
Not a great choice of words
@@billchen2133 not great, but amazing
Shocking for the wrong reasons...
I love this lol
Groan
Maybe he was in the time machine but it's Honda version. That's why he was going around the speed of the DeLorean time machine (in Back to the future). And came back with the El plan and knowing Max gonna win WC 2021.
@It'stheVJ No f1 for 3m is too long, I'm losing sanity. 😂
"600 Watt hit" thats like saying: i was in a car accident and i took a 600KG collision
Interviews with Ron Dennis would be golden, he's got so much to say regarding Bernie, Mosley, Jordan.... Anyone in the paddock really....
I agree that Fernando Alonso's years with F1 and other motorsports would be an outstanding book to right and read.
Just to clarify, electrocution means death in 100% of circumstances as it means to be shocked to death by electricity. Therefore Alonso was shocked as he didn't die.
it quite literally does not the definition is "the injury or killing of someone by electric shock"
@@blainesthename9349 that's a misnomer. In electrical engineering, at university, it was taught to me by a professor, with a PhD in electrical engineering, that electrocution is a common misnomer applied in the instance of being shocked - that electrocution results in death, while remaining alive is being shocked. The distinction between the two events, being of either alive or dead. That's also how it's used in the medical field as well. When they fill out injuries, they don't say that someone was electrocuted. That's what a coroner says. Lol.
It’s an oversimplified yt video, don’t deep it.
It's the word "execution" with "electro-" slapped on the front of it to tell you that the killing was done by electricity.
@@Jay_137x i doesnt kill you if you know more about smth
If this happened. I think he'd have said, it's not as if he respected the engines and kept his mouth shut.
yeah... well conspiracies are just for entertainment anyways
He probably couldn't say anything against McLaren but he was free to complain about Honda
@@grgaming5794 yes. Just for show like WWE.
@@HurairahGT1 we'll have to wait until he retires for the an answer
He didnt say nothing either about crashgate
Some say Alonso refused to drive that bomb of a car and they came up with this whole debauchery. 2015 Australian GP was also quite an unusual event, 5 cars didn't even started plus Sauber had that contract problem
This is where he got El Plan from
2:15 was terrifying 😭
"fernando took a 600 watt hit" - spoken like a true person who doesn't understand the fundamentals of electricity and the manipulation thereof
Yeah, I too am an electrician and I giggled upon hearing that. We can be hit by 600W worth of 'power' and be absolutely fine but when you start to play around with the Amps within that formula you could be fried. Also a serious buildup of electrostatic could also knock you out.
it didn't bother you that they're using "electrocuted" when Alonso didn't die from the shock?
@@KumoGoesFast no not really. Electrocution isn't persé a lethal thing. Same as you can get shot but not die.
Pick Your battles.
@@Roguescienceguy Im sure you wont believe a random youtube comment, so just google the differences between electrocution and electric shock and youll find multiple wrongful death lawyers and scientists clearly defining the difference between the two. it absolutely does mean that someone passed because of the electric shock.
I think nobody believes it was just a simple crash…
Because it clearly wasn't
Because a simple crash wouldn't of hospitalised him for 3 days
This is one of the few conspiracy theories I legitimately believe.
George bush was behind 9/11
@@johnshipley1389 I don’t believe that
That's because you're ignorant and believe everything you're told.
Great stuff!
Here is a topic: did McLaren “gift” the drivers championship to Ferrari (to Kimi) in 2007 via Hamilton’s “last race issues”, for the Spygate controversy?
It has been covered on this channel, check the playlist
I'd definitely buy a Fernando Alonso tell all book/biography book.
He already has a prime video documentary series like the drive to survive one but is only available in Spain.
@@hugofernandez3845 I was able to see season 1 of it. There is a documentary of his last race for Ferrari. That one was better. Alonso is very candid in that one and you can see part of the frustrations he dealt with there. Its a wonderful watch and I think that is who Fernando is behind the scenes. At one point he places a tshirt on his table at the motorhome and the table breaks. Looks up at the camera and without missing a single beat says "Ferrari".
This series is awsome. Are there any other videos in this series. Please create more. Also somebody that I know has family that works in F1 (no idea what they do). The running theory by everybody in the pod dock was that he was electrocuted.
Just to be clear: we know nothing about the care Alo received after that incident, so we can only speculate. Personally, I think he just had some sort of "medical" episode, such as an absence (type of epilyepsy) or something, and nobody wanted to reveal it afterwards to avoid Alo's fury. Speaking as a fella working in healthcare, electric shocks yo the degree of uncounsciousness would likely bar him from the car for weeks. They also mostly leave permanent consequenses: tremors aren't unusual among shocked patients.
Medical episode would surely require him to be banned from f1 right under the danger of it repeating?
I doubt Alonso has some type of epilepsy. He wouldn't be driving in F1 if he had. It doesn't make sense at all. Drivers retire on lesser issues. Epilepsy is a serious issue esp if your're driving that speeds.
Alonso hope your keeping a diary, please write that book!
these type of videos needs to be a series
I really want more conspiracy theory videos like these, there’s a lot of unsolved things in F1
"the impact was at slow speed, at just 150 Km/h"
My dad's honda barely gets to 100 Km/h
Loving these stories! Keep the conspiracy theories coming guys!
If I was at a publishing house I'd have a contract for Fernando's memoirs already inked and sitting in my top desk drawer.
Underneath the one for Lewis.
@@unthenner5519 nah. Only the media actually likes him. It would be like Hillary's last book. The only people who bought it work for news networks. Between her up front payment and the costs of actually printing the publishing house *lost* money.
Love these conspiracy videos. Keep up the great work!
I've heard about the crash but i've NEVER heard about the conspiracy, was interesting to listen to
Alonso didn’t attack Honda, he was just retaliating!
If my engine broke 17 races out of 20 and was a donkey, I'd be pissed too.
Intro made me think it was a full length documentary. I would definitely have watched!
Well it’s obvious they replaced Alonso with a Terminator Robot…
funnily enough, a brazilian F1-related channel made a video on this incident just a few days ago...
that proves how "shocking" this incident was... that is if you catch my drift ;)
Yes I catch your drift velocity of those ions coursing through Fernando.
"Is that Glock!!?" In the intro had me dying
Firbolt be gonna say "Alonso Electrocuted this Championship worthy car".
I wonder how this step son of Alonso must have passed this phase unscathed.
@Ice Bear Grazie ragazzi 🤌
Maybe this is why Alonso hated Honda so much.
Alonso's book after his career ended is surely a big shocker thru out all the seasons he had as insider of involved team. I wonder if FIA allowed
An Alonso book? I'd buy that.
More F1 iceberg stories! This is deep for me since I took a break from F1 around that time.
I’m a doctor and I can verify that what the German and Spanish newspapers reported and what Barbazza said does collaborate somewhat with symptoms presented by electric shock victims. It’s possible that Fernando would’ve experienced temporary memory loss and issues with concentration, attention span, and focus. These are signs that the patient has suffered an electric shock acquired brain injury (ABI). A mild to moderate ABI would’ve required several days in hospital and a few weeks recovery. I’m not completely sure what Barbazza means by “temporary obstruction of the veins”, but venous obstruction can occur following something that stops your blood flowing normally, which might have happened if the electric shock effected Fernando’s heart. So I’d say it’s very possible he was electrocuted, if we are to believe the bits of info from the press and Barbazza.
I hate to be that guy, but electrocution is being shocked to death (electric and execution). He got a hard shock, otherwise he'd be dead. Sorry to be a stickler for it, but it's a big pet peeve.
the background music on this one is epic.
He can't have been, he survived. Electrocuted comes from electric/electricity & execution. If someone doesn't die from it, then it's simply an electric shock
While I do agree with you (mostly), merriam-webster now defines electrocution 'to kill OR severely injure by electric shock'
Could be momentary shock? And I'm sure like there is no way anyone could have measured it.
Dude btw ngl, often times I gave faced slight shocks from my laptop, so I'm sure such a thing could have happened in an F1 car as well.
Could be something due to the winds who knods mayeb something due to static electricity? or due to the battery it's possible lol
You don't necesseraly need to die from electrocution i guess? or it WAS an electric shock but a heavy one which can actually make the muscles in your body (including the heart) have a little break-out...
Next time do 2008 brazil: people were claiming they saw Ron Dennis run down to the Toyota garage to make them tell Glock to slow down.
You even include "is that glock" in the intro, so you've got to do it
i heard ron made a secret project at mclaren for weather control
The 1977 Kyalami crash, we might not know everything about it. Would be interesting to have a look at it in a video
Well he took a 40G crash and walked away once
40G isn't out yet.
In the Drivers picture the one that is missing is Bottas, i mean yes Alonso is missing as well but the arrow is pointing at Valtteri's place
We need more of these f1 consipracy theories videos
he would unveil a lot... but if you pay attention he allready has..
you can talk in the next episode about the conspiracy with Pireli that give Wiliams special tires for 2012 spanish gp
I mean sounds possible. Look at the care marshals took in recovering Sebs Aston at Zandevort I'm not a engineer but it seems likely that these cars can give you a nasty shock if the wrong component fails
the first time 'El plan' was used
Alonso: "GP2 engine"
Honda and Mclaren: "And so it begins"
this is some good off season content, instead of the endless regulation videos.
what happened in that crash has become a word in the streets, we know it had to do with the electricity but has never been confirmed yet all mention it except McLaren
@WTF1, Alonso is actually writing a book that he put on pause when he returned to F1. He also said that he could not finish/publish it while he was still in F1 because of some of the information that will be in it.
Edit: Ok, he didn't say it exactly as I remembered, but I guess you can interpret it like I did :D There's an article about it on planetf1
I believe that, it was a low speed crash, with small damage in the car, and mclaren said it was 40g impact, that is a like sochi 2015 with sainz, and in that preseason honda wasnt performing as bad as the season started, so could be possible that the engine had mistakes and for that the poor perfomance specially in the electric side. If was this theory or not, it obvius that the official statement is not true. Sorry for my english but it is not my language
The music bed really adds credibility.
Im really scared for the F2 guys now because if this happens with a GP2 engine, GP2 (ahh!), it could well happen more often with them in F2
That shock was more powerful than the power that Honda PU made...
Headline: Fernando Got Electrocuted (Shocked)
Source: Trust me, bro. I know what I'm talking about.
I thought this was a Perspective video until I heard Matt's quite distinctive voice.
I'm almost sure Alonso will return to this topic somewhere in the future.
The editing is the best way to tell that it's a WTF1 video. The same pattern for years...
@@benn8793 The first few seconds have a different vibe and the conspiracy theme is something borrowed from Perspective.
I love these conspiracy theories and the alien movie soundtrack behind this.
I was once electrocuted by my spark plug racing my go kart. Spark plug came out of the engine tapped me on the shoulder zapped the chassis I was full zapping at that point and jumped out doing roughly 70 kph. Kart went into the wall I was fine and walked away
he looks like tim richmond in the thumbnail
Yeah very true and in his free time he is a superheroe, under the Flash name. That's why he checks-in at hotels and restaurants as Barry Allen. Some would say that's the reason as to why he drives at lighting speed.
He was shocked not electrocuted. “You get shocked a whole lot and electrocuted once”
I love this conspiracy theories series
Please do the conspiracy around Pastor Maldonado win and the following Williams garage fire, and the timing with a Williams anniversary
Now I know what I'll ask him if i get selected for fan driver meet😬
Can you please do the benneton traction control debacle?
This is so much like a perspective video…
Bahrain Controversy 2012! Not a conspiracy but definitely worth a video
Big woop why cover it up, unless it was a deliberate design floor, im guessing this was before the safety light on the rollover hoop and probably the reason it was added
Conspiracy theory of pit crew switch between Nico and Hamilton
I believe this one. Lewis let his buddy, Justin Bieber, drink from bottle of champagne before going over and spraying his team down with champagne . My Dad and I were watching this race and I made the comment that Lewis is going to live to regret doing that. His team comes before Bieber. After that snub, I fully believe the team may have "forgotten" to tighten a screw here and there. Or maybe just held him just a little longer during a box.
woah. that intro is good
when someone gets electrocuted, that means the shock they received killed them. Alonso was shocked, not electrocuted.
they sound interchangeable
@@GloomGaiGar if you are someone who is familiar with the field then it's like saying gauges to a piercer when you're talking about tunnels or plugs. or calling a tattoo machine a tattoo gun. sure most people don't care that there's a difference, but there is. it's not a huge deal to me, was just sharing some information to those who don't know, such as WTF1
I like this series
Maybe the 2008 Singapore Gp?
thank you matt
I thought it was a driver 61 video from the title
Also a great case you should really study and create a conspiracy thoery about is the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP
Race Reaction did a great article on this conspiracy!
Next conspiracy theory is on Masi favouring Merc all these years, hence the dejected Merc at that last race
WTF1 saw a Perspective video on their recommendation page and decided to do the same.
600watts isn't that much... depends on amperage.
what voltage are f1 cars running at?
Looks like that up to 1,000 volts, so that would be .6 amps.
need 2 amps I think to get deep enough it tissue for lethal.
would have to go across the heart directly to bad. which is usually done by grabbing positive with one hand and negative with the other.
Is this the one where briatore thought alsonso suffered some kind of stroke i remember his comments pretty unusual lol
soul'd like to see schumi's conspiracy theory about his 1994 car
Even nowadays, some still believe that he had traction control in the car back then.
3:30 Nando writing a book would be awesome. Did he make a promise, to write one? Walter Koster will know.
There is a bizarre theory that says that senna was actually shot explaining the adittional hole besedes the one the suspension made in his helmet and the bullet became unreconizeble because of the suspension that hit ayrtons head
But thats probably 100% not acurate
That would be an impossible shot hitting a target several hundreds of meters away moving at 300kmp
@@Querientje yeah
@@Querientje Not at all, if you look at the video he´s driving in a stright line. Also, the data from the point he´s leaving the track is missing, sabotaged intentionally, covering up the fact he didn´t break at all. He was going to run for a president of Brazil so do the math.
A few murders have happened in racing and one would never know ! Be good to see the car afterwards
This is such a shocking theory
The title of the video is wrong
Alonso is not dead so by definition he was not electrocuted ,he experienced an electric shock
I totally forgot about that😳
big ups to perspective
