It made the Top Gear test track more memorable too so I know exactly what Chicago, Hammerhead, Follow through, and Gambon means.
Dont forget "The Second to Last Corner"
I loved watching people run wide at Gambon always hilarious
Coming up to Gambon
Ebola 😂
Ryan Shaikh thats from grand tour the ebola drome
Isnt straight
You name here
Old ladies house
But yeah the point stands
Theres a local track near me that has immediately named their corners when they opened, and theyre great names and known throughout California. Buttonwillow has corners with the name: Off-ramp, Cotton Corners, Grapevine, Dog Leg. Thats one of the main reasons everyone loves that, because we just know the turns that create those names.
Well, the entry for the Variante Ascari (turn 8) at Monza is named Curva del Vialone, and that pretty much refers to the original name of the corner, before the chicane was introduced
That's correct but it isn't used much (like Raidillon, everyone calls it Eau Rouge)
@@ddt3619 something like the "Parabolika Einfahrt" at the
Hockenheimring
Everytime I watch your videos on our TV, one of our cats Remington watches all of it! The infographics in motion catch his attention and it's hilarious to watch. I truly think he has more f1 knowledge than most fairweather fans!
i would love a track where corner names are rev killer g-force xtreme and burninator
Singapore, used to have the "Singapore Sling" as the zig zag turn 10 pre 2013
Still does, at least I can guarantee you nobody will tell you the name's officially off-limits.
3:16 That's Raidillon actually
3:00. Solid Homestar reference
The Leclerc straight at Monza? It's what helped him win in Italy this year.
such well thougth!
Trivia: hardcore fans might already know it, but the Senna S curves at Interlagos are not a posthumous homage. Ayrton himself had a say in the layout of this part of the track when F1 moved from Rio to his hometown of São Paulo in 1990, so it was named after him.
The complex at the beginning of shanghai is named "Tyre killer" because it absolutely murders your front tyres. The Turn 9 and 10 complex at bahrain are named "F*ck you" corner, because, holy shit is it easy to fuck this corner up.
3:15 "That's Radillon actually"
Corners 1 - 4 at Shanghai?
The yin-yang.
Is it perfect? No, but you'd instantly know where it was just by looking at it
> Doing Nordschleife
> Yellow Flag at Turn 98 until Turn 107
> UH WHAT?
Nah, it's normal
Not that big of a problem because the whole team will probably say the corner names or the drivers need to memorize them.
Is it the corner after the straight or after it?
As if the corner names weren't difficult enough at the Nordschleife
Nico Rosberg F1 Fan actually corner names are easier to memorize on the nordschleife then the corner numbers cause then they can just say code 60 at Fuchsröhre and the driver will know where except code 60 at turn 20 to 24 (idk)

Me:
There's a possibility for a series here? "Chain Bear's suggested corner names?" Bit of research, bit of digging and gives something for people to rally behind?
Where are we waiting for? Lets give F1 circuit corners names again!
Make corners great again!
YES
"Turn 8" Istanbul Park is one of the only corners that people know as its number
woodedco I didn't think of that, nice
The track itself, true story, was originally to be called the "Istanbul Ottodrome". Whoever buzzkilled such a puntastic name should get a lifetime ban from boardrooms.
@@FightingTorque411 "Ottodrome" does seem a bit, offensive. I don't now what it means but it does have obvious connections tot he Ottomans which the Attaturks rebeled against
I call it Istanbul turn 8, so technically I've given it a name
Now imagine they would have made a change somewhere in the first sector, and that had suddenly become "Turn 7"
I was thinking “how about F1 let the fans decide the name?” But then I remembered that we’ll end up with something like Corner mccornerface
Oh god
And don't forget "Straighty McStraightface"
Literally the comment above this as i'm typing is suggesting Corny McCornerface (in jest)
NASCAR literally did this with a whole race. The 2021 Buschy McBusch Race 400 at Kansas Speedway
I don’t see the problem???
Turn 1 at COTA ’The Phil Hill’
Mo Shambles oh I like that
Mo You beat me to it!
T2, the downhill sweeper, also known as "the Rollercoaster". We could keep going. That track has oodles of name potential.
The Andretti Esses
@@Trainmaster909 If you're going that route, I suggest naming a corner each for an Andretti in order, a Mario, a Micheal, a Marco, a Jeff and a John and why not an Aldo and Adam as well.
And Wellington straight in Silverstone is named after a bomber and that section was one of the runways
And there's the reason it's called the Hangar straight too
But unfortunately Abu Dhabi or Bahrain weren't built on some permanent soil, they just have appeared in the middle of nowhere.
luckily the planes are no longer there to distract Kimi

The "Whirlwind" corner
Yes, the F2 champion turned rising F1 star known as Dumbledore.
Partnered by his gruff older partner. Spinattimus Prime.
A guy that has a corner with his name! Gambon!

Or corners like Your Name Here and Field of Sheep at the worthy successor.

Brazil also does have the corner called "Is that Glock?"
glock but yes naming it glock would be a brilliant idea
@@bedeyoung4843 name corners after silly bits from history. like "is that glock?" Corner
Cooro Snow-Fox or Gambon corner😂
@@reilandeubank Silverstone definitely!
IIRC it actually has name, Juncao
0/10 used the name “Phil Hill” to not refer to COTA turn 1
i was very disappointed as well
@Ruby West
Why? Who cares which?
@@avada0 Because it's on a hill?
@Ruby West
Ah. You guys think of that slight incline as a hill. I, living in a mountainy (ish) location don't. :)
@@avada0 look at this cool person living on a mountainy (ish) location. It's a fucking hill, you said you live in mountains, a hill isn't a mountain, a hill is basically any incline.
The final 2 turns at Hockenheim will forever be known as "The Ice Skating Rink"
Most germans call it “Opelkurve“ because the stands used to be sponsored by Opel. Now it's simply the Südkurve... (South corner)
is it because how slippery it is when its raining ? especially in that drag strip ?
I'm all for a public vote.
"Corny McCornerface" sounds like a good one to me
good one for the straight in AbuDhabi
Curvy McCurvyface
boo
Incidentally, Turn 17 at Singapore is officially called "Piquet Corner". And no, I'm not making that up.
😂 😂 😂
If the Singapore GP gets renewed @ the end of its contract next year that corner might be temporarily gone due to the rebuilding of the nearby The Float @ Marina Bay
'The Case for Corner Names'
What, like no name corner like Spa?
It's called "Jacky Ickx corner" since the 2017 GP, so... ;P
@EnricoAwsome If you refer to turn 11 (between Turn 10 "Bruxelles" and Turn 12 "Pouhon"), then it absolutely is called Jacky Ickx corner.
Source: twitter.com/dailysportscar/status/1009795354408226816
@@QemeH too less people know this
@@rinkemouris8412 Even before, it was named "Speaker's corner" because on the old track it was the first time the commentator at the start/finish tower could see cars emerging from the woods. It just didn't get an official name after the change in layout, hence the "no name" myth.
There is also a slight diference between the names that FIA F1 (and other motorsport branches) give to the circuit and the names that the circuit officials gives itself. I live not to far of the circuit and have been there many times. At some places around the track there is a circuit map/guide panel. On that panel some names are not the same as they give it in Formula 1.
An example is turn 12. In most of the Racing competitions (FIA F1, Blancpain GT) they call it 'Pouhon' while on the track itself it is called 'Double Gauche' that means 'Double left' in French.
Like this, the circuit officials don't recognize turn 11 as the Jacky Ickx corner because that is already a coner name at the other circuit 'Zolder' in Belgium.
Some of my favourite corners are Bathurst’s Forrest’s Elbow, Laguna Seca’s Corkscrew, and of course… Gambon.
I'm a Hammerhead guy.
Flugplatz, Höhe-Acht, Stefan Bellof S, Arnage, Porsche Curves, Ford Chicanes, Playstation Chicane, Chicago and Follow Through are great too
Did you mean old lady's house?
Le Mans indianapolis
“Siberia” is actually the nickname for the corridor at my school, haha. And yes, I live in Australia. We have a knack for giving things weird names, don’t we?
I started watching F1 races in part because I'd heard of Eau Rouge and the mystique and challenge of that corner. When I saw that the next race was at Spa, I remembered that was where "that cool Eau Rouge" corner is, and tuned in. So literally F1 has me as a fan in part because of a memorable corner, and a name helps that stick.
That's Raidillon actually.

Actually Sepang does have corner names, although only for certain corners.
T1 and T2 - Pangkor Laut
T4 - Langkawi
T5 - Genting
T7 and T8 - KLIA
T9 - Berjaya Tioman
T11 - Kenyir Lake
T13 and T14 - Sunway Lagoon
Even the 2 straights have names too, the Kuala Lumpur straight (main straight) and Pahang straight (back straight).
They're all references to famous places in Malaysia, although it can be forgiven if they're often forgotten, I admit I myself can't remember the corner names too despite being a M'sian F1 fan.
I didn't know that, thanks👍
Isnt Genting a cruise company?
Sepang
T1 - T14 - PETRONAS
So true
@@m1co294 nah genting is a city (i think) in pahang
Suggestion for two corners at the Baku City Circuit: "Gloves" and "Steering wheel"
Jorre Vannieuwenhuyze
Abu Dhabi can have the corners "Leave me alone" and "I know what to do"
So turn 1 at hungary can be called The Drink
At New Delhi they could give name "dont shout there f×ck sake" to the long right hander after kimi
What about that bit that grosjean crashed at name it the: Ericsson hit us
Daniel Farmer the ‘i think Ericsson hit us’ straight
One of my favourite names in F1 is the informal name the "Wall of Champions" in the Canadian Grand Prix.
Valtteri means something....like "Valtteri, it's James"........imagine hearing "Driver #2, its engineer #1"
It‘s strategist #1 actually
Engineer #2, my tires are gone
We should all start calling him Ludwig Hamilton.
And Ferdinand Alonso! 😂
@@matthiascerebri3315 don't forget Karl Leclerc xD
Walter Bottas!
Maximilian Verstappen?
@@Sphagetti__ Actually, his full name is Max Emilian Verstappen (seriously)
The old Singapore Sling... sends car flying that was a good name tho
Some turns at the Singapore GP Marina Bay St Circuit are already named (after nearby landmarks) e.g. 'Sheares' for turns 1-3 after the Benjamin Sheares Bridge above, 'Memorial' for turn 7 after the adjacent (WWII) Civilian War Memorial. Think a few more can be added e.g. Flyer for turns 20 & 21, Fullerton/ERP for turn 13
i always refer to turn 9 at baku as the castle section
It actually starts at turn 8
We all do, we all do
COTA gonna sellout and name all their corners after sponsors.
-Sprint Esses
-Verizon V
-Fedex straight
-Ford bend
-Hard Rock Swerve
-AT&T turn
Well the billboard is already there. May as well...
I'd take it over bland turn numbers
Honestly, I’m surprised that hasn’t actually happened yet.
Same energy as “Your Name Here” corner
Hard Rock swerve killed me 😂 I could see the go for that. And something that just screams Texas like the King Ranch roundabout for the horseshoe near the end
6:39 Actually, I'm quite surprised we don't have AT&T, Coca-cola, and Budweiser corners at COTA
Yeah that would be fitting!
It would be very American. And then every few years you would have new sponsors and as a fan the names would lose all meaning.
Abu Dhabi should have corners like "Leave me alone" and "Hulkenberg's Cow".
Definitely 😂😂😂
Sir, you are a genius.

TBH a better idea would be to just name the nuclear weapon that should be fired at Yas Marina for crimes against motorsport.
3:15 “That’s Radillion actually”
Eric Jiang scroller sown here for this one 😛
That's Raidillon actually.
And it sounds much better wenn a comentator talks you through a lap only by using the corner names!
That's what makes Bathurst great: every corner, bend and straight is named.
In my country when there is onboard footage commentators shut up xD
Bcs everyone was asking them to not speak, so we could hear sound of cars...
And I prefer onboard footage without commentary on youtube, than with someone screaming "going through turn 8 200mph and shitt"
But its better when commentator can scream what an overtake at Blanchimont than what a move at turn 10 for example xD
@@mikespearwood3914 Just like Monza, infact it is Rettifilo delle tribune, Variante del rettifilo, Biassono (or Curva grande), Variante della roggia (which like Eau Rouge is named after a stream), Lesmo 1 (Curva delle querce), Lesmo 2 (Curva dei 100 metri), Curva del serraglio, Variante Ascari, Rettifilo centrale, Parabolica and the oval was the Catino divided in Curva Nord alta velocità, Rettifilo Levante and Curva Sud alta velocità that put you back on the home straight (Rettifilo delle tribune), a nice thing of historic tracks.
@@mikespearwood3914 so true, I remember growing up watching Bathurst, and hearing the stream of names, it allowed me to hear a crash at the chase and I knew where it happened I could guess someone had spun out into the dirt. And 7 year old me could follow the race better.
I always called turn 1 in China "The Snail" because of how starts wide and gets tighter as you go through it
We should officially call Turn 1 as "Snaily Boi"
Yeah I heard that name quite often, that's what I call it too.
Maybe Wōniú, the Mandarin word for "Snail".
It would be cool if you could enter a draw to name a corner...
Would love to have turny boy on an F1 game one day
Would be funny, but can't happen in F1, sadly.
We'd have Turny McTurnface all over the map.
Obligatory Corner McCornerFace suggestion
charging out of Hristian Corner, down Straighty McStraightface before braking heavily for the Mad Ladz esses
So many great points. I agree. We need more names in corners. Although for Tilke tracks, can we reuse names as Tilke reuses a corner?
Like "Tilke Corner 1.A" for Malaysia's T1 & T2, "Tilke Corner 1.B" for China's T1-T4? Or "Tilke Corner 4.A" for Malaysia's T9 & T10 and "Tilke Corner 4.B" for Bahrain's T9 & T10?
Yeah good point... Get the guys who make scalextric on the phone. We can use their piece names. Basically how he does it anyway lol
@@crashkid3000 The elevation change at Bahrain's T9/T10 make it quite a bit different than other sections that look similar just on the track map.
Well, Magny Cours was made up of corners inspired to other tracks, and they are called like the tracks they were taken from (Imola, Adelaide, Estoril, Nürburgring)
Useless stupid names
Fun fact about "Curva do Café" (Coffee Curve) in Interlagos: the "tale/myth" of this name says the former Media Room was nearby this curve. The smell of the coffee of the journalists was so strong that even the drivers could feel. This was before the F1 Years and before journalists discovered cocaine (but since the 90 all journalists in Brazil are poor and have to drink coffee again).
Also Pinheirinho was named after a pine tree that the drivers use to crash there.
i thought it was because you could get a coffee before seeing the cars come around again since the old curcuit was so long (2 mins for a lap in '74)
I want to see Chain Bear and the other F1 RUclipsrs sit down and suggest names for the unnamed corners!
China Turn 1 "The Torpedo"
We should call the esses in COTA "Mississippi" or "Missouri" after the rivers!
The nod would have to go to Mississippi; 4 S versus 2 S.
being from St Louis, I support both of those
But maybe i'm Bias
@@benjaminr1876 Missississouri
The Phil Hill would have to be the end of the main straight and turn 1.
Sepang circuit does have perfectly good corner names, like Langkwai and Klia for example. The problem is that nobody seems to use them for some reason...
4:47 - It's not un-named, Brudle actually found a track map at the circuit 10 years ago that called it Liege Corner.
It's been called "Speakers corner" as it was the first corner the speaker could see the cars coming back out of the woods on the old circuit... And if I recall Well they called it Jacky Ickx after former Belgian driver... It depends on who you ask tho
I'm still waiting for this summer break bingo update :(
I think one of them actually has a bingo
Too busy adding Skillshare ads into the videos.
Completely agree. I can imagine "3 into 1", or "Torpedo Corner", "Max Lookout," "The Vettel Carousel"
lol
"A name confers a soul unto an inanimate object and grants it power!" -Owain Dark
"Knowing something's true name gives you power over it". -Ursula K Leguin. (paraphrased)
Could someone just make a website where the F1 community could suggest names for the corners? I know that would certainly descend into "Corner McCornerface" territory and almost certainly worse areas, but I think there's a project for someone to mastermind the mass naming of corners at Tilkedromes.
Maybe it's a public vote, maybe the community bring suggestions to a panel of F1 experts, like yourself, who then make a final decision, or draw up a shortlist which then gets voted on.
Let's just do it unofficially if F1/circuits themselves won't do it.
Ideally corner names are relevant to the circuit locally though, referring to local features, people or what have you. It would be a shame if this was taken over by people from all over the world who frankly have no clue what goes on in many places. Suggestions are fine, if only to provide a reason to bring out real names better than what fans come up with.
Agreed with Quintinohthree.
Think on Interlagos. Corners like Laranjinha, Ferradura, Bico do Pato, Junçao or Arquibancadas may have no meaning for non-Brazilians, but they do have a meaning for them. _Laranjinha_ had once an _orange tree_ , _Ferradura_ was once _horseshoe_-shaped (before the re-layout), _Bico do Pato_ is _duckbill_-shaped, _Junçao_ is were the new layout and the old layout _join_ , and _Arquibancadas_ was once the only place with _bleachers_
What you guys are saying is more or less what I was thinking of. Get a bunch of worldwide suggestions, then let a committee and/or a public vote decided between realistic options.
I totally agree about everyone accepting Eau Reuge as a whole masterpiece, similar to the corkscrew at Laguna Seca
Petition to change the name of corner 9 to "Barrel turn"
1: Abu Dhabi is a country with lots of oil.
2: Nico's barrel roll from last year
There's a comment which called for it to be called Hulkenburg's Cow but yours is a good alternative.
@@StreetWarrior24 I dont understand... "Cow"??
while he was on the corner's wall he said "I'm hanging like a COW"
you forgot "Is That Glock?" corner
6:34 singapore corners already have names by the way. Like Raffles Boulevard or the Esplanade corner
Let's officially call some corners as "Snaily Boi"
In Interlagos (as in most brazilian tracks), each turn has a name with a real meaning to it, each attributed in the good old days (mostly 40s and 50s):
Curva do Sol (Sun Turn): When drivers approached it (in the old layout, not happening anymore), the sunlight would affect drivers vision.
Curva da Ferradura (Horseshoe Turn): Self explanatory, just look at the shape of the turn.
Curva do Pinheirinho (Little Pinetree Turn): There were a pinetree after the turn, where drivers used to collide with.
Curva da Junção (Joint Turn): Where the oval and mixed track layout merges.
Curva do Café (Coffee Turn): Has this name because in the early days, commentators and journalists would prepare coffee in a shack over there. The smell of the drink was so strong that drivers could smell from far.
Subida do Lago (Lake Climb): Has it name because there is a - guess it? - lake after the turn. In the old layout, it was Descida do Lago (Lake Descent), since it was backward at this point.
BONUS: The track is called Interlagos, the name of the neighborhood where it's located, and it means "betweek lakes". The track is located between two dam reservoirs and not actual lakes.
We all know ste. Devote because of Jeff’s speeches before every race.
Pretty soon every corner at Zandvoort will be the “Verstappen” corner

in fairness, Magny-Cours (the old French GP) wasn't even subtle about it, actually calling the corners by the track it got stolen from
could see a similar thing happening with "Tilke Track 10", just call it by the track where that feature originally debuted in
@@kukuc96 Because it's banked?
One of the questions I'd have about this is, how much of it is due to these tracks being newer? Is it not possible that, over time, we start attributing nicknames to turns that then become their names, much in the way Singapore Sling got its one, or the Wall of Champions? Is it possible that corners will once again be named once the newer tracks start gaining a bit of history themselves?
3:23 That's Raidillon actually.
there it is
But so many people leave off the second part! :) A bit like poor old 'Hove Actually' (which is where people with 'class' who live in Brighton 'really' live).
That´s Raidillon actually
Sepang actually have names for their corners if you look up the sepang circuit wikipedia but they’re not widely used
Theyre not really official theyre just some local names (if i remember correctly)
Agreed! I love the corner names.
-- I was hoping for Zandvoort to pop by, since its on the calendar next year and has some history. It also has some commercially named corners (Audi S, Renaultbocht, Marlborobocht) and was interested to hear about that. (I'm not sure if other cuircuits have that, but it wasn't mentioned)
corners named after people (both historical and Disney characters) and places.
it even has a cornername a bit like 'revkiller' of 'Gforce extreme', namely: "Scheivlak", which litarally means 'seperator plain'; seperating the boys from the men (at least in my mind) :). This corner even has its own website: www.scheivlak.nl/
That’s radion actually
How do you spell radion because I can’t spell
Raidillon.
@Anurag No, it indeed is Raidillon. Le Raidillon de l'Eau Rouge to be perfectly precise.
@Anurag No, I just know that, and for this instance decided to use the full-name after having double-checked the precise spelling form of the Raidillon-part itself.
Sooooo, as a youtuber with a 300K subs, you could just give a random corner of your choice a name. Then we as a youtube community will meme the f*ck out of it until it really becomes the name of the corner. Gotta start somewhere.
That's a decent idea. We need GLOCK Corner at Brazil or Val'terri, eto Dzheyms at Russia. (it means valterri its James) in Russian.

Don't Baku and Singapore have corner names?
Baku - Castle (Turn 8, where Kubica and Leclerc crashed in quali in 2019)
Singapore - Anderson Bridge, Raffles Boulevard
Baku has no corner names with any official recognition, while the names you mention for Singapore are those of streets the track runs along, not of actual corners. Singapore does have named corners, but only a handful of them and I doubt you could tell me which they are and how they're named without looking them up. I certainly couldn't name you more than one.
@@Quintinohthree I think that the Castle section will eventually become "official", that chicane is challenging and Leclerc will not be the last driver to crash there.
Isn't Chain Bear's suggestion to name corners and sections in city circuits after the actual street names anyway?
@@Ramboost007 Certainly, given enough use eventually it could become an official name, but the point is that it already should be.
And yes, usimg street names to name sections of street circuits is fine, it certainly works for sections of Indycar's street circuits, but named corners are important independent of named streets.
a decent idea is making a meme blow up about a corner that is may be Implemented . We need GLOCK Corner at Brazil or Val'terri, eto Dzheyms at Russia (turn 11). (it means valterri its James) in Russian.

Thank you! I have argued the same for years, since danish TV announcers started referring to corners with numbers.
Every time a corner is referred to with a number, you have to mentally drive through the entire track to figure out what corners they talk about. Refer to corners by name; Tosa, Spoon, Pouhon, and I’m there in a flash!

Shrey Jain you get there before I could 🤣
"It's much easier to pick out and remember the best parts of them (the tracks) if they have an identity". And that's were the problem lies: most of these racetracks lack an identity related to their heritage as sites dedicated for motorsport.
Most of the examples given in the video are references related to the nearby places located right next to these corners, or were given after famous local drivers.
The chase of F1 for newer destinations and markets has led up to this, a championship that altogether lacks character and identity. Instead of keep building new tracks, they should go back to the historical sites that have fallen apart in terms of infrastructure and renew them. Get back to the root.
turn 3 at sochi should be called "THE CYKA BLYAT CORNER"
