  • Formula 1 history certainly proves that, with endless examples of drivers and teams who didn’t stay together as long as their deals suggested they would.
    At The Race, we’ve already covered some of these cases in our videos, including this look at Alain Prost being sacked by Ferrari and our run down of drivers who didn’t make the most of their big chance in F1.
    For this video, we’ve picked out a variety of examples - in some, the driver has decided to go elsewhere, in others, the team has had enough and there’s even an example where a big-name driver was paid a huge sum of money NOT to race.

    Being kicked from Racing Point was the best thing that could've happened for Perez's F1 career in hindsight.

      Few people talk about how lucky Perez career moves were. Started in Sauber, joined McLaren and was dropped right before it fell apart. Then joined force India when it was a strong midfield team and left it right before it became a backmarker and went to a title contender RedBull

      ​@@luizlokos1 Actually, McLaren fell apart the season before Perez joined. That's why Lewis went to Mercedes. By the time Perez arrived at McLaren, everything was already destroyed inside that team. McLaren let go of Checo because of his attitude, not his performance. Maybe Perez has been lucky, but if you think that if he waited for 1 more year in Sauber, he was bound to replace Massa at Ferrari and partner with Alonso for 2014 instead of Kimi who had an abysmal season. Actually, he would have been offered the Ferrari seat in 2013 but Massa decided to stay. We will never know what would have happened with Checo and Alonso in the red cars during those years, but I like to think it would have been amazing.

I'm not saying that would have happened if Checo stayed with AM, just wondering what if. Would there have been more rivalry between Seb and Max than with Checo and Max? Would Hamilton maybe have run away with the title in that case?

    I'd include Johnny Herbert. In 1994, increasingly disillusioned by the dismal performance of his Mugen Honda powered Lotus, coupled with the team itself struggling for survival, he shocked the F1 Community by going from Lotus in Portugal (with whom he had raced mostly full time since 1990 and had a contract to see out the rest of the season), to driving for Ligier at Jerez, taking the place of Eric Bernard who moved the opposite way to Lotus. What made this even more remarkable, Herbert only spent one race weekend with Ligier before being drafted into the Benetton team to try and bolster their Constructors Championship hopes. So in less than a month, Johnny Herbert went from a team on the verge of disappearing from the grid, to one that was on the verge of winning the world championship with Michael Schumacher

Sauber had to pay him damage money as well, but that was after court hearings. So financially Giedo was better off in the end by not racing for Sauber xD

    2014 - Sacked Alonso for saying he wanted a car “like what my rivals have” for his birthday
    2019 - Sacked Vettel for not meeting performance targets
    All world champions.

    Good choices with #1 unsurprising in the end.
    Contracts getting ended/leaving prematurely are rare, but always possible, hence, people are right to be reserved on Ricciardo, although I'm positive he'll see out his 3-year deal until the end. Admittedly, I'd totally forgotten about Alonso's Ferrari commitment lasting until 2016-end.

      Not just his decisions. F1 drivers are a key part of how a car is developed. Their feedback is essential and they effectively end up with a car moulded to them. If they put a part on Max’s Red Bull and he’s quicker - they move in that direction with development.
      Alonso is an amazing driver, but has caused friction in a lot of the teams he’s been in.
      Drivers now are realising the value of loyalty and having a car built around their driving style. Drivers like Max, Lando, Charles and possibly George are looking to stay with their teams indefinitely, through good times and bad.
