So Kevin's dad got replaced by Max's dad LOL!
Stephen Taylor Their sons are better drivers than them 😂
Gotta love F1s nepotism
@@SamuelSantos_ I don't know. Maybe not in F1, but Jan Magnussen is an excellent GT endurance driver who frequently is fighting for podiums. He has a much better win and championship record than his son.
@@roxannelyson7715 they're not even in the same racing category
@@Clangokkuner That's why I said maybe not in F1. Learn to read. But Samuel Santos didn't say better F1 drivers. He just said better drivers. Overall, Jan has the best record of all four of those drivers.Tell me I'm wrong. I dare you.
I wonder if grosjean is watching this
MrCatsEyes magnusen is i think
I’d boot his ass myself. Too inconsistent and big whiner.
Gives the inside to teammate but turn on him. Good job!
I'm sure he's bored to tears in IndyCar. They where just in Ohio, like damn.
Grosjean is the far more talented and intelligent driver. He just panics like a deer in headlights. Kevin has attitude problems.
You missed Heinz Frentzen! Fired by E.Jordan in 2001, after being the most successful driver ever in the irish team.
Eddie just needed to keep Honda by dumping HHF for Sato
Or as Josh Revell called him Heinz Harold Hopeless
@@dangerdean9066 he was a good driver actually
@@dangerdean9066 Frentzen was a very underrated driver though. Just watch his 1999 season
@@jujuju948 usually the same people who say Frentzen was a great driver, turn around and call Villeneuve trash. Yet Villeneuve owned Frentzen at Williams 😂
“Maybe in a future video, he’ll be the first man to be dropped by the same team twice”
Well that aged well
Gasly : trying to secure the seat in RED BULL
Autosport : I am gonna end this man’s whole career
He will be out next year for sure unless he steps up his game BIGTIME
yawn
He's ending his own career.
LOL thats clearly what gave them the idea
@Edward Jam
you: salty
Trolls: I'm gonna end this whole man's carrer
;)
In hindsight, Jan Magnussen was well of being sacked from F1.
He's having the greatest career in WEC and GT classes.
Yep. He has been on the warpath as a driver for the Corvette team just like JJ Lehto didn't do well in F1 but was a force to be reckoned with as a driver in the AUDI LMP1 prototypes.
i guess he was just a WEC driver from the start
Yup. Driving an F1 car vs driving a sports car is like comparing limes and mandarins.
In fact he is the most winning driver in pro racing!
@@danieljessen4987 any link?
Shame for nick heidfeld as he was quite a good driver
He had the Goodwood hill climb record till this year, some hair dryer of a car has it now
@@myk6694 Of which its more about the car than the driver. Im pretty sure he could easily axed that record if he drives that. His Formula E lap on Goodwood was pretty damn quick as well knowing that FE cars is actually quite 'slow' for a race car.
He didn't deserve to be binned mid season to make way for useless Bruno Senna (despite Heidfeld being the highest scoring driver in the team). He was treated very badly.
He out-scored Kubica while they were teammates.
@@Zero_Ninety +1
Jolyon Palmer Renault 2017
Yeah. He found out he was fired online.
For Autosport there weren't britains dumped.
@@yas5414 I absolutely loved that part of Jolyon being fired. Yeah it's heartless but the guy was just shit.
@@heliumtrophy He has found his real talent now though.
I remember watching his Dad race...Jolyon was 10 times better...LOL. Murray Walker used to give the "British Drivers update" many times during a Race... "and Johnathon Palmer's up to 22nd Place...what a fantastic drive for him"
I wonder why this video is being made cough cough ghastly
Grosjean possibly too
Red Bull Sauber Petronas or even possibly bottas
kubica
*Gasly*
@@redbullsauberpetronas nah Grosjean finished p7 or something like that. He's safe
Of course it's a roofless business it's an open cockpit!!! 😉
I hope you have a dad license to make that joke!
I fink fats a free founsand percent brilliant joke wiv much larfs.
@@GobiLux hahahah better than the actual joke
C'mon Autosport...
Are you really this desperate to see Gasly dropped?
yes, and they should be!
They dropped kyvat so quickly to bring in Vestappen. Now kyvat has a podium and gasly does not
@Rainer Werner Mindbinder he gave assurance gasly's staying? Ffs
Rainer Werner Mindbinder that’s not assurance
Where is the problem in being desperate to drop gasly? Let them get a badass lad
RBR should just dump Gasly already.
While Verstappen is fighting for wins, Gasly in identical can barely hold his own in battles against midfield.
Sainz will obertake him in the drivers championship
@@konradvonschnitzeldorf6506 God I hope so I love Sainz
you forgot, kvyat in the B team has one more podium than gasly’s 0
I commented therefore I have the big gay yeah he does have a podium.
Plus how many times has he been overtaken by a Toro Rosso?
That's Heidfeld departure made me mad,I was like "Hey, that's not cool!"
Everyone speaks about Gasly, but I see Grosjean closer than anyone. Don't know about Giovinazzi as well, but he would be on my list as well.
Same
Both Haas drivers contract will finish by the end of the season. So yeah grosjean is in the red
Grosjean and Magnussen. Giovinazzi has some backing and Steiner is fed up with both his drivers. I expect Grosjean to be thrown out first, but I don't think either of them will return for 2020
Reptilius Maximus Giovinazzi is doing fine
@@Just_That_Guy910 Doing as well as a driver as Williams is doing as a team.
The often forgotten saga of the second Benetton seat in 1994, musical chairs between Lheto (who had an awful accident in pre-season testing) and Verstappern (senior) until they brought Herbert in for the last two races who claims Briatore was trying to drop him before he won at Silverstone the following season.
Piquet Jr. would have to be in my Top 3, the split was so acrimonious it ended up revealing the truth behind Crashgate and getting Symonds and Briatore bans from the sport. Andre Lotterer only getting one race at Caterham despite outqualifying his teammate by around a second. And Yuji Ide, not given the axe by his team, but by the FIA!
Verstappens taking race wins, Gasly in the same car battling Toro Rossos and losing. HES GOT TO GO NOW!
dropping gasly would be the kindest thing to his longer term racing future the longer hes there the more its damaging his rep and confidence
@@danielstark7239 yeah honestly he should go back to Torro Rosso where he can actually get pretty impressive scores (he got 4th in a Torro Rosso, which he has only gotten once in a Red Bull)
He’s being pressured too much cause Max is just too OP
Agreed! Ghastly er I mean Gasly is freaking useless. No team mate should be 107 points ahead of the other or getting LAPPED by you team mate in the same race.
I hope Ricciardo is happy where he is now, he's missed in red bull at least.
It was said that Alboreto was chasing Herbert's seat at Benetton while still at Tyrrell, which Ken Tyrrell found out about, so getting him the chop. Another addition: Arnoux getting dropped one race into the 1985 season, for reasons still no-one knows!
Juan Pablo Montoya, dropped out of McLaren during the 2006 season is missing
He left, he wasnt really dropped
@@RyanFoleyRacing or did he ? I've always wondered how a guy with a great seat and car would walk away mid season. But who knows.
@@RyanFoleyRacing He was dropped after showing his intentions to move to NASCAR for 2007 season.
@@i8ittoo he knew Hamilton was coming in for 07 and Alonso was already signed too
He was also dropped for crashing Kimi at the USGP.
Trulli was dropped for that god-awful man bun.
Fully justified.
best video yet, keep this brilliant content up please - you're putting the official F1 channel to shame
I remember Heidfeld being a good driver, far better that B.Senna ..
Heidfeld was kinda at the end or his F1 career being in the sport since the early 2000's where's B senna was just beginning really. Even though he turned out to not be that great.
Heidfeld didn't deserve to be sacked.
@@Zero_Ninety Vitaly Petrov, his team mate that season, scored 3 points more than him, yet participated in 8 more races. Anyyyyway.
@@nigelo92 Exactly.
I think at this point though, Heidfeld is probably pretty happy continuing his career in FE and the numerous other seats he had leading up to it
Remember when Heidfeld was a freshman in F1 around 2000? He was racing in Alain Prost's team, and his teammate was Jean Alesi. They crashed into each other a few times, and since only one mistake like that is enough to be fired, Nick did not get a seat for the 2001 season by Prost. He was preceeded by last year's Minardi driver, the argentinian Gaston Mazzacane. Guess how many races did Gaston complete in Prost-Acer...
Fun fact that Mazzacane's former teammate, Marc Gené later became Ferrari's 3rd driver for years, but Gaston never made it back to F1.
Back to Heidfeld, it seems that Prost was proven wrong later about him.
Thoroughly loved this. Great video and great narration too!
I'm shocked Scott Speed wasn't on this list with all the drama surrounding that exit
Now there's a driver who genuinely deserved to complain about being ill during race weekends. Ulcerative colitis cannot have helped his performances. Horrible disease.
Trump veto'ed it.
speed was ironic he was not fast at all, suprised he got a 2nd season
I remember his radio comms, threatening the team before the start of the US grand prix😂
The Enstone team have had a reputation for getting through drivers as well. Take 1994 for example, the team had Michael Schumacher, Jos Verstappen, JJ Lehto and Johnny Herbert driving the cars at some points in the season. For the most part, it was to find someone to drive the second car, whilst Schumacher was winning races and going for the title. When Schumacher was serving his 2 race ban in late 1994, neither Lehto nor Verstappen could get anywhere close to the performances Schumacher was capable of (in Monza they qualified P10 and P20 with Lehto finishing P9 and Verstappen DNFing in the race and Portugal they qualified P10 and P14 with Verstappen finishing P5 in the race and Lehto spinning out of the race). It showed the short comings of having drivers incapable of matching the lead driver of the team and was probably why Benetton lost the Constructors Championship to Williams that year
Love the video guys, as always providing knowledgeable insight and analysis of my favourite subject matter. Keep them coming also great to see that you guys have been sponsoring chainbearf1, just awesome!!!!
No mention of Luca Badoer (Ferrari, 2009)? Brought in to replace the injured Felipe Massa, he lasted just 2 races before being dropped in favour of Giancarlo Fisichella, after he stuck his Force Inda on pole and managed a second-place finish in the previous race in Belgium
I'm surprised Heinz-Harald Frentzen being dropped from the Jordan team in 2001 isn't even an honorable mention...
Other than that, this is a solid list and the number one spot is exactly the one I would have picked.
Also, another honorable mention would have been the (as far as I know) only double-dump (or maybe chain-dump would be a better term) within one season: In 1994 the Benetton team dropped J. J. Lehto after the Canadian GP in favor of Jos Verstappen and Verstappen himself got dropped from the team in the same season after the Euopean GP, with Johnny Herbert replacing him for the remaining two races.
What about Heinz Harald Frentzen in 2001? He was sacked by Eddie Jordan just days before his home race at Hockenheim
Just love your videos,please keep em vrooming right along👍
Tyrrell was the team with which Michele Alboreto secured his first podium and his first win, before his Ferrari days, so it's even worse to me that their relationship broke down so much on the second go-round.
Nice little video, Thumbs up.
ps. What's the music track in the background?
Sonic the Hedgehog sound-effect at 7:36
Otherwise, de la Rosa at Sauber 2010 ironically being replaced by Heidfeld.
Really a good Video. Brought back a lot of memories.
Keep them coming guys, excellent work!
Mansell being *squeezed* out of his McLaren
Mansell had trouble squeezing into his McLaren!
@@tomelliott9100 lol
@@antonioborba77 What about Perry McCarthy? Andrea Sassetti spent all year trying to kill him.
They probably had to use some butter....
Michael Kitchin He wasn’t really dumped by the team as the team imploding because the owner was incompetent and arrested for fraud in Belgium ;)
Hey autosport what's the song in the background called?
Loved the lil’ k-mag foto! Good research 👏👏👏
No blokes that was a good list,nice work,good story line good job keeping it all straight....sounds like u really did your home work,and got to talk to both party's in each situation wow,bravo....fantastic.
I’d see how Gasly goes for the second half of 2019. Perhaps he should get one more season or half of 2020 to improve. I think Kyvat should have another go at Redbull next. Albon needs another season for experience.
Giving Gasly a full year contract already is a risk, imagine making him race for 2 consecutive years at Red Bull
yup, if they put in albon they’ll have just made the same mistake as they made with gasly, keeping him in B team for 1 season then piling the pressure on him by putting him in RB
Well Gasly should have been given another year to develop at Torro Rosso but unfortunately that couldn’t happen. Promoting Albon would be making the same mistake all over again.
Now Gasly even finished below Sainz on much slower 🚗 at mclaren
@@michaelsubroto5563 (At least?) above Albon however
I would like to see a video of all the Ferrari drivers that were critical of the car or team and weren't axed.
Depending on how you define "critical", that list is either going to be extraordinary long or absurdly short.
Awesome video! Brought back some memories but the question still remains.... What the name of the tune in the background?
Whats the name of the music in the background? Thank you in advance.
I miss Heidfeld in f1
so do I
predicting kvyat to be dropped by the same team twice is straight savage LOL
Savagely true. But hey, Yuki Tsunoda is one to watch out for in 2021.
Thanks, very nice video! Especially the pictures. I wished I was born in 1970, the F1 cars of the late 80s early 90s are very beautiful, as was life at that moment way more promising for young people as it is today, but that is another discussion.
I think Trulli could have been fighting for the title in 2005 if he would have stayed in the team.
Nah, Briatore management style is to prioritize 1 driver for the championship and that was Alonso. Plus Trulli wasn't consistently fast on Sundays when points are awarded.
JH but hes very arguably a better driver than fisichella
Dr. Disco he definitely was better then Fisichella.
Gasly to be put in the list soon 👀
You wish
@@kyllianvanleeuwen8835 yes I do
@Eduardo Hillman-Waller probably the same person that calls Williams shit, wHy So mEaN???????
@Eduardo Hillman-Waller I am a Red Bull fan so yeah I'd have Kvyat over him e v e r y day
p1 fp2
Nelson Piquet Jr?
What about Heinz-Harald Frentzen in 2001?
PavelCZ who entered in his place? I think it was Burti no?
Alesi took HHF's spot and Frentzen replaced the Frenchman at Prost
Antonio Genovese Not really True, but close. Zonta replaced Frentzen at Hockenheim, and Heinz got the Prost Seat at Hungary
@@sandalogaming6766 alesi and zonta burti wtf
Caption says "F1 drivers who got the chop".
*MOOG INTENSIFIES*
MCM for life!!!
CHOPPED!
After Gasly's moves in German GP im not surprised that video like this one poppped up. :D
with kyvats podium :D
😉😉 to Gasly?
Max's hit list: Albon; Gasly; Kvyat; Ricciardo (?)
Always enjoy the pieces of history like this, and with summer break coming up it gives precedence to what may come.
I'd say that the reason why Trulli's perfomance declined in 2004 was because he had a very severe accident in the 2004 British Grand Prix.
What's the background music?
Giovanna Amatti in 92. She was kicked out of Brabham after only 3 races in the season.
Does anybody know the name of the instrumental playing during the video???
Music track in this video background.....anyone please?!
Amazing vibe, need to know this! Many thanks
same for me as well! even tried with shazam, but it was impossible :(
Can anyone tell me what song is playing in the background? Thank you! 😍
More of this videos. They're so interesting to watch.
Your comments about firing drivers such as the all bull team is spot on.
Kyvatt was cannon fodder as was Hartley and possibly Webber and Ricardo left for good reasons over unworkable situations in the hire fire team
Prost was sacked from Renault too!
Jan Magnussen had hair?!?!?!
Well, now we know where KMag got his hair now.
Most men had hair at some point.
What, did his mother not have hair?
Re Bull's biggest fuck ups:
- Letting Ricciardo go
- Letting Gasly in
- Not using the black and red testing livery
I'm enjoying these videos where period imagery illustrates the narrative. It's much better than watching three (highly knowledgeable) guys sit on a couch chatting. I'd even be able to handle the couch format so long as we didn't have to watch them - replace them with vision of the cars, people and incidents they are talking about literally while they speak.
Nice tune lads
ye, can you tell me tha name of that music pls :D ?
I'd like to see Kvyat go from Red Bull to Toro Rosso to Ferrari back up to Toro Rosso to Red Bull again, he's shown he's matured as a driver and has the potential to be a great team mate to Max and get Red Bull back on track to winning championships. See ya later Gasly...
I want Bottas in Red Bull. He's an amazing driver but Mercedes is holding him back to help Hamilton.
I hope that Kvyat would tell the Red Cows where to get off. Marko and Massiveshitz (or whatever his name is) are not the easiest pair to get on with.
Great little vid. Personally I wouldve had Juan Pablo Montoya in there. Sacked after wiping his teammate out. Never bedded in at McLaren and had that thing with his shoulder also.
Autosport should make a countdown on shoot-outs for a final seat, like Pizzonia vs. Heidfeld in 2005 or Heidfeld vs. Senna in 2011 or Bourdais vs.Sato in 2008, Kovalainen vs.Montagny 2007, etc, etc
The most mysterious remains Arnoux and Ferrari in '85
Well at least Andretti did not have to drive that 92 Ferrari.
Thought Magnussen was going to be the real deal……
Rene Arnoux: Let go by Ferrari after the first race (Brazil) of the 1985 season and replaced by Stefan Johansson, whose career at Ferrari was considerably less successful. Arnoux won 3 times for Ferrari and won 7 races total. In 1984 he finished sixth in the championship, which compares well to his team mate Michele Alboreto, who finished fourth. On paper, there was no reason for his dismissal (called a mutual separation at the time). There was no speculation as to why this happened, just general silence, which always made me wonder if something which had nothing to do with his driving was at the root of it all. I wonder if there is still a story to be told.
these are the best videos.
What’s the name of the background song?
Yeah i'm wondering too. It's banging.
You forgot the man the myth the legend that is Yuji İIde.
Kvyat is an interesting case - you don't send a driver you are totally done with to your junior team. There's a decent chance that they genuinely see Kvyat as a development prospect still.
2001 frentzen got fired by Jordan before his home circuit and they called in Ricardo zonta to drive for the team for one race and then they moved frentzen to Prost swapping places with Jean alesi
whats the music in the background ?
Want to know this as well
Helmut Marko has said many times that he'll keep Gasly in the RB seat for the rest of the season, so @Autosport you should do a end of the season one not middle
I don't believe that
Aslamnur Fikri one channel to watch is @FormulaWorld he only takes things from people's mouths and says the person that said it, and Helmut has been asked many times and had came out with a similar answer every time, that he's not going to replace him, atleast not until 2020
This aged well.
About Alain Prost, if I remember correct Alain was comparing driving Ferrari to London Double-decker bus and that was enuff for Ferrari management.
Heinz-Harald Frentzen, Jordan 2001. At his home GP in Hockenheim. Very surprised to not see it listed.
Prost did well to leave Ferrari at that point. The horrid F92A with its mad double floor would've dented his career in any case. It sure did for Capelli.
time to add nyck to the list LMFAO
Well done Will! I wouldn't change a person on this list. Would be interesting if Kiviat ends up being promoted back to the Redbull senior team and gets them closer to Ferarri and Mercedes next year in the team championship. I never thought he should have been dismissed from Redbull in the first place. He just needed time to grow and mature as Verstappen did.
Man couldn't you wait untill yesterday for the video and roast gasly
7:37 that came from Sonic the Hedgehog 2
What about H-H-Frentzen and Jordan in 2001?
Jean Alesi and Prost in 2001?
Juan Pablo Montoya and McLaren in 2006?
Yuji Ide and Super Aguri in 2006?
Luca Badoer and Ferrari in 2009?
Just a few that come to my mind right now.
Andretti was fucked over. It wasn't until Senna stood up for him and ORDERED the team to give him the same car set up he had did Andretti reach a podium, so it seems like Mclaren DID sabotage Andretti's F1 career.
So we have Kevin magnussens father being replaced by max verstappens father
Jan Magnussen and Kvyat have one thing in common then. Both were dropped for a Verstappen.
I would def drop Grosjean first. Hulkenberg can replace him as he will be dropped by Renault for Ocon anyway. Imo that is.
Terence van Gaalen - Ocon is Mercedes reserve driver and is going to take Bottas’s seat.
Chris 1983 HAHA no that’s not right it was actually the immense pressure being put on RBR by Jos and his conglomerate to have Max put in the big team, before they let someone else have him.
@@OkiDingo When Bottas is second in the championship and in good stead with Hamilton there's no reason for them to drop him, If he continues to perform I can see Ocon being let go in favour for Russel in the future.
I don't know....Magnussen and Hulkenberg are not exactly friends. Haas needs drivers to work with eachother. Bringing in Hulkenberg would not change the situation they are in. I agree that Grosjean's time is up.
Dean R English Ocon isn’t taking Bottas’s seat, he’s really not a superior replacement.
Autosport totally forget about Jolyon Palmer
There wasn't really an interesting backstory behind Palmer losing his seat though. He just wasn't good enough.
@@benonwheels It is interesting to see a pay driver lost the seat mid-season. I mean, how often did that happen
@@dindinduckduck It was a different team compared to the one that hired him though. Renault didn't need his money. He wasn't good enough so they replaced him with a better, younger prospect.
Who?
Add Maldanado, that guy was literally a train wreck
Heidfeld was the top driver in the team at the time. He was always consistent on finishing in the points. then got replaced by a driver who only scored abt 2 points in 5 races
10 F1 youtubes I dumped during this season:
Pretty much all of them
this video has been uploaded two weeks too early
Ron Dennis met Magnussen at the airport once to see Magnussen rummaging through his suitcase trying to find his passport. Apparently when Dennis saw Magnussen's bag was stuffed full of items rather than neatly packed Dennis deduced Magnussen would never be a success in F1.
The most painful part about Kvyat's ordeal is that he didn't even do anything worthy of being dropped. Jos just pressured Red Bull so much that they were forced to promote Max. Obiously it ended up working in their favour but you gotta feel for the guy.
Gasly has done poorly enough now that Kvyat and Max would probably be better.
Where the hell is Palmer??
Cletus Spuckler Palmer has retired
Hahaha, what i mean is: where is he on this list?
Pretty sure he was dropped for Sainz mid season too.
