And whoever translates Krating to Bull is behind in education because it isn't Bull it's Gaur LOL but I suppose RedGaur isn't as attractive as RedBull brand advertising wise.
@@DingDingTheRUclipsBuddy its a bovine, similiar to a bull, yak, bison etc. that is native to thailand, the original place the drink comes from and its still sold there as Krating Daeng, which literally means red gaur. Redbull was only brought to europe and rest of the world later on in the shape it is now.
Bringing in Adrian Newey played a huge part in turning redbull racing into the powerhouse that it is. It would have been nice if his contributions were also mentioned, since he played a huge role as designer and technical director in bringing the team to the forefront.
and calling Coulthard a 'young phenom' ? - I like their content but they don't know WTF they're talking about. Newey was such a huge part of the success, still is.
Seat belts should really be a car culture must anyways. Everyone in the community knows about it, we should start really promoting it and dare I say shame those not wearing it.
First Gran Turismo, now NHTSA. This channel is keeps on soaring like a rocket. I have been involved in two car crashes, and in both I felt the seatbell stop me like a wall on the chest! Got out absolutely unscathed! This black thing does wonders! NASCAR, F1, rally, everyone uses seatbelts, so do like the champs and use them.
Having no traction on the front wheels on my 01 auburn sky pearl IS300 I lost traction going bout 50-60 hooking me strait into some tree's in the median where I took a tree out with the fr headlight spinning me full 360 slamming the back right side into another tree which took my trunk out completely crunching it up within it's cavity space and Just knowing how bad it could have been and to only have a small seat belt rash. #blessed..
Interesting side story I can add to this. Someone I know worked for Red Bull F1 in the early days of the team. He was partly responsible for pushing the team in a different direction that allowed them to make such dramatic improvement so quickly as a new team. Traditionally teams would carry several spares of every part of the car, meaning big logistics and costs. They decided they would travel with less parts to save money on the logistics by looking into and gambling a bit on what they would hopefully only need. In doing this they saved money they could put back into RnD.
Yea he has entire segment on breaking down the abu dhabi 2021 that EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS and we are all done with now but doesnt mention Newey ONCE thats weird. Video is VERY catered toward american non f1 fans .
they've even moved into age of empires, regardless of esports and if you even consider it sports, it's tapped into that perfect nostalgia spot for those who are probably missing in the sports marketing. They host an entire contest and it's one of the most exciting ones of the year
Note, RBR finished 7th in the 2006 Constructors standings scoring 16 points compared to 2005 were they scored 34 points. In 2007 the team switched to Renault engines and gave the Ferrari engines to their sister team
One thing that also contributed to Red Bull getting their own team had to do with Kimi Raikkonen. Red bull wanted another person in that seat for 2001, but Sauber decided to go with Kimi. Thats when Red Bull realized that in order to have full control they needed to own a F1 team.
I mean.. Minus his massive high rake miss from 2014-2020..and onky worked in 2021 when the FIA cut the rear floors to slow Mercedes and slow the low rake cars...
@@vidalso4548 yea thats true also.. definitely had some issues early on. I'd love to see the W11 vs the RB16b.. That would be epic. Honestly, if I started a team Newey would be top choice for aerodynamicist
Lapped cars are always allowed to overtake before the safety car is set to come in. The difference at Abu Dhabi was that only the cars between Lewis and Max were allowed to overtake. The video makes it seem that lapped cars unlapping themselves was not the norm.
@@tosehoed123 It does in the sense that if the other cars had unlapped themselves, there likely wouldn't have been enough time for one more flying lap if you include the lap they have to do behind the safety car in the "correct" (unlapped) order. That was basically the entire controversy: usually under a SC, all cars unlap themselves, getting behind the SC and then they get to race again. Unless of course they run out of laps, then the race finishes under the SC. MV decided to pit for fresh tyres (right call, nothing to lose), LH chose track position, which would have been right call for the race leader given the number of laps left. It looked like it was going to finish behind the SC, or racing would resume but with ALL the backmarkers still in place, meaning that MV wouldn't have had time to pass them all and attack LH for the lead and the WDC. So either way, LH would have won. So in this case, it did matter for the end result whether or not certain cars or all cars unlap themselves. As to Masi, did he break any rules? No, but his decision to basically say: "fuck it, I wanna see some racing between these two to decide the championship so I'll just let the backmarkers between them go and then call the SC in so we can have some racing," went against basically the spirit of that particular rule for as long as it had existed.
You missed an interesting factoid of why RB decided to buy a team instead of just being a sponsor. RB wanted one of their drivers in the Sauber seat but Peter Sauber decided to do a mad lad and put Kimi Räikkönen in that seat instead despite protests from everyone because Kimi only had 23 car races under his belt. Worked out well for Sauber since Kimi instantly became one of the most talented drivers on the grid. So "Iceman" being so good Sauber decided to take a massive chance on an incredibly inexperienced driver is responsible for Red Bull owning a F1 team(well, two).
Kimi was essentially unknown to the f1 world before he debuted in 2001. to stress, KIMI HAD 23 RACES TOTAL under his belt, not 23 formula 2 or formula 3 races. 23 RACES TOTAL. Red Bull was obviously upset over this, and they jumped on the chance of owning a team immediately. so, we can all thank the iceman for red bull racing
i've met christian horner before as i legit live like 5 minutes from the RBR factory, used to get the bus to school outside it and i've also met verstappen, albon, gasly and seen riccairdo all of them were really nice
Wow you’re a lucky dude. I don’t really run in to those guys a lot in Colorado…😖 How was Max specifically (my favorite driver)…did you get any autographs or get a chance to talk to them for any length of time?
@@mamavswild oh funny story about him actually, so basically there's a railroad crossing that was always busy because of frequent trains, basically it lead to the nearest petrol station and once the bridge was down and max was in the traffic right in front of my bus stop, my mum was on her way to pick me up and i just calmly walked up and knocked on the window in my school uniform, he rolled it down and i asked him "are you max verstappen?" and he said yes, i legit had a solid 5-7 minute conversation with him about karting techniques and racing lines and such as well as my school life and he said to take a factory tour and he might be there, gave me a fist bump and this was around the time of the british gp in 2018. so yeah, really nice guy
You’ve overlooked the real reason Red Bull has been successful in F1 - it is almost entirely due to signing F1 aero specialist and design guru Adrian Newey. Newey is perhaps the most influential person to have ever been involved in the sport. More influential than any driver on the grid, Newey is the real secret sauce to Red Bull’s success.
@@F1FanCanuck Not entirely. Newey actually signed for the team when it was known as Jaguar, still under Ford ownership. The team principal then was Bobby Rahal, who drove Indycar Marches designed by Newey in the mid-80s (which also used underfloor venturi tunnels, a factor almost all F1 'experts' seem to have forgotten when they say nobody in F1 currently has experience with ground effect; well Newey does...). However with Ron Dennis desperate to hang onto Newey, he got Mansour Ojjeh to agree to pay Newey more than any driver except Michael Schumacher, and the promise that McLaren would allow and support him designing Americas Cup yachts. Newey then cancelled his move; and Rahal was sacked by Ford soon after, in favour of Niki Lauda. Then after the Red Bull takeover of the Stewart/Jaguar project, Horner made it their #1 priority to get Newey, who was already very familiar with the factory/ equipment/ facilities etc from having 'signed' with them in 2001. Although Coulthard was supportive, it wasn't very much his influence/ idea.
@@OsellaSquadraCorse - this is how Horner described it in his own words… “So in those days, DC having driven cars of Adrian’s at Williams and at McLaren obviously knew him very well and said ‘what you have to do is you get a dinner with Adrian and his wife because, let’s face it, the wives make all the decisions’. “So we arranged this dinner in The Blue Birds in London and that’s where it all started and DC was talking to Adrian’s wife about everything and anything and that allowed me to have a conversation with Adrian and it turned out we had grown up in the same part of the UK, we’d gone to schools that were almost next door to each other, albeit distanced over time, but we had many things in common. “I think what Adrian saw was, he was inquisitive why had DC come and what had he found when he got there and was it fun? Because I think he felt slightly stifled at McLaren and this team that was full of energy and ambition, we were not quite sure how we were going to achieve it, but with the backing of Dietrich [Mateschitz - Red Bull owner] and Red Bull and the brand behind us, it really appealed to him. “We found out how much money he was earning at McLaren and he was nearly sent straight home, but Dietrich backed it all the way and said he was the right guy for our team and the rest is history.”
The Abu Dhabi Verstappen win is how I realized just how many friends of mine were into F1 because everyone crawled out of the woodwork to scream about it
My entire bar erupted in cheers of joy in the US; I suspect in the UK it was different…but don’t care!! The world LOVED IT (not the UK tho)…and this dude didn’t go into how Lewis is hardly a saint either, Max is the best. Love him! An Old School, wheel to wheel fighter, there’s a reason Niki Lauda loved him.
2021 Abu Dhabi. You mentioned, that Masi decided to let the backmarkers go. That wasnt the problem. This happens after the SC. But usually (i mean always) every backmarker is allowed, not just 4. And they wait 1 lap for them to catch up, not restarting at the end of the lap.
Or wearing them wrong (lower abdominal seatbelt injuries are nasty). Always keep the lower portion of your seatbelt resting on bone! (not halfway up the your torso)
honestly glad that perez won in monaco because he's just as good a driver as max and never gets any recognition cause max is always prioritised by the team
@@Eros_Racing I don’t think Mercedes was tricked, I think the rules were bent to allow for some amazing racing. It was also the beginning of the down turn for Mercedes.
Red Bull won all those championships from 2010-2013 because of Adrian Newey, their car designer. He was responsible for Williams championships and then McLarens championships. Red Bull poached him because he's one of the best car designers of all time.
@@gigachad9038 I never said it was fully Newey it just helps to have the best engineer the sport has ever seen designing your car. Of course when you put a good driver in that car they will dominate and that's exactly what happened
@@thomasmarton2857 it was definitely tremendously important to have Newey designing their cars. Formula 1 is 90% car 10% driver. It’s a good vid but feels incomplete.
Not to mention that RedBull‘s first ever win in F1 was actually on it’s sister Team Toro Rosso by Sebastian Vettel (Monza 2008). RedBull’s first official win was in China the year after, also by Sebastian.
Honestly got so much respect for Red Bull. They really took an energy drink and expanded their message to all sorts of endeavors. I see Red Bull everywhere now. I see some kind of crazy ass epic sports shit online and immediately wonder if it was a Red Bull sponsored/facilitated event. And I’m usually right!
you cannot talk about 2021 WDC without mentioning Checo and his amazing defensive driving to hold up HAM which helped Max catch up. in which Max was able to then proceed to win. #MexicanMinisterOfDefenseCheco
Checo’s 3rd place finish at the Mexican GP was epic. The way he challenged Lewis for 2nd. And of course the crowed reaction; one would have thought he’d just won the championship.
My fifth grade teacher was in a wheelchair from being the only one wearing a seatbelt in a rollover... If I'm not walking out of the hospital I don't wanna walk out of the hospital. If my dicks dead so am i
I’ve been asking this for the last couple of years. I’ve been too lazy to dig into it myself. Thanks again, Donut. For allowing me to be lazy and consume the information in an entertainment format. Still one of my favorite car channels on yt
@@brickson98m Sauber were sponsored by Red Bull from 1995-2004, not 1995-1997 as the video suggests. The last car to carry the Red Bull sponsorship was the 2004 Sauber C23. Red Bull only stopped sponsoring them following their purchase of Jaguar. Red Bull had NOTHING to do with Jaguar/Stewart until Jaguar hired Red Bull backed Austrian driver Christian Klien (later also drove for Red Bull from 2005-2006) in 2004. At the end of the 2004 season, Jaguar were bought out by Red Bull following Ford's exit from F1. Also stating that Stewart had "3 unsuccessful seasons" is a blatant lie. Stewart struggled in the first 2 seasons, sure but their 1999 was excellent. Barrichello scored three 3rd places throughout the season, at San Marino, France and the European GP. He also grabbed a pole position in the French GP. Johnny Herbert won the European GP meaning that the Stewart drivers finished 1st and 3rd, a double podium! They finished with 36 points which gave them 4th in the constructors behind McLaren, Ferrari and Jordan. They beat Williams and Benetton, 2 established title winning teams, also finishing ahead of Arrows, Sauber, Minardi, Prost and BAR. That season gave Ford the confidence to buy out Stewart altogether. The main catalyst for Dieter wanting to enter F1 as a team was Kimi Räikkönen's move to Sauber in 2001. Dieter wanted to see Enrique Bernoldi in that seat but Peter Sauber obviously chose Räikkönen and Bernoldi got the seat at Arrows (Sponsored by RB from 01-02). That made him realize that if he wants true control, he needs his own team. That part was left out of the video completely.
David Coulthard never drove for RedBull in 2009 as he was retiring at the end of 2008, so that opened the door for the young hotshot Sebastian Vettel, who would went onto dominate from 2010 to 2013.
No joke a seatbelt just saved my life last week, I was hit head on by a Ford e250 work van that was going 45 while driving a little Saturn SL2. If it wasn't for the seatbelt and air bag things would of been a whole lot worse!
You kinda missed the fact that Max Verstappen had a free pit stop and Hamilton didnt. Hamilton would have been behind Max if he pitted and Max did not pit.
Mercedes pit stop would be a terrible idea. There was no time to restart the race normaly. Imagine losing the WDC with an extra pit stop, and finishing behind SC
@@JSPHTRS the free pit stop isnt what's controversial, that's just the benefit of being in second place. In this case it gets mentioned because normal safety car procedure dictated there wouldn't be enough laps left in the race for lapped cars to pass and unlap themselves, which race control told teams over the radio, so it dictated the decision for mercedes notto pit and for red bull to get their free stop. Masi later decided to only unlap the cars between Lewis and Max so that there would be enough time to restart the race with one lap left with the championship leaders right next to one another. This was not technically against the rules in the sense that the race director had the power to overrule safety car procedure, but was absolutely against normal safety car rules and clearly engineered for the sake of television in a way that many felt was directly at odds with the integrity of the sport. It's hard to argue Max was undeserving IMO, but it felt absolutely wrong to manipulate the outcome of a championship for the sake of headlines and good riddance to Masi for the way that entire season was handled.
It's cool that y'all got the NHTSA as a sponsor. As much as I love driving crazy, it's so important that people wear seatbelts. Saved me in my accident but unfortunately lost a really good friend due to not wearing one.
Dude, you have skimmed over like half the story... You needed to expand on the fact that they have x2 F1 teams RBR and Toro Rosso/Alpha Tauri. Only brand to successfully run x2 teams
They focused so much on Redbull the drink company and so little on Redbull Racing. Adrian Newey, Toro Rosso, the Honda engines drama and redemption, the Renault engines drama, Redbull Powertrains, Gasly and Albon drama, so much stuff left behind.
@@AlejandroLZuvic this video was just bad all round, like you say. Focusing on the wrong things, rushing to talk about the MASSIVELY over talked about 2021 finally... ugh
Yeah but also Max was going to win Baku and we all know what happened there. So yeah its just racing it's not like Mercedes had some questionable decisions made in their favorite
Which only was the case because Checo destroyed Lewis' advantage with what is likely the best racing any of us will see this lifetime. Checo won that championship for Max and Red Bull, no doubt.
@@BillDerr And Bottas too. He wiped out both Red Bulls and a McLaren in a single blow, just a race after Ham took Max to infinity and beyond, so they miraculously got the points they needed to be on the championship again, but yeah, let's forget all the season and only remember the last 3 laps of the last race in the championship
I love the "click it, don't risk it." In Florida when I was a kid it was "click it, or ticket." We had a different kind of motivation to buckle up. 😂😂😂
Love how they had to downplay Max's world championship. If you look at the season overall Max absolutely deserved the championship. Before the last race Max won 9 races to Lewis's 8, had more Pole positions and Led more race laps then every else combined. He would have had the championship sooner if it wasn't for Bottas (A Mercedes) taking out both redbulls in Hungary and Silverstone where Lewis completely crashed out Max to win while only received a 10 second penalty. Max is the 2021 WDC and he absolutely deserved it.
For real. I really have nothing against Hamilton and I hate to bring it up this long after the championship was decided but it’s kind of a joke that people still say Max didn’t deserve the title. Baku, Silverstone, Hungary massive amount of points Max lost through no fault of his own. It just feels petty for people to still be arguing about it
I don't mind that there is the controversy and all because in every sport there are such moments for example Real Madrid and the penaltys in ucl from a few years ago. The problem is that Mercedes fans just get a stroke when you mention it and they don't give arguments just get mad and say 7 wdc
I was riding with my coworker when he missed a sharp curve at 100mph. We rolled several times. Sideways into the ditch, barrel rolling through a fence, and I to a field. I ended up hanging from my seat held in by my seat belt. Only injury was a bruised leg from slamming the door and some seatbelt bruising. Seat belts work. Careless isn't cool.
@@FrankGhal Hey calm down boys let’s not turn into toxic F1 fans. The situation sucked, Masi broke the rules by only allowing the lapped cars between Max and Lewis go, but let’s leave the past in the past. They both drove great when they weren’t crashing into each other. But, hopefully they’ll be able to go at it again later on this season, or at least by next season, with a 3 way title fight between RB, Merc, and Ferrari.
@@DaSpaceJammer Massey let the championship be decided on the track by having them race. That seems perfectly reasonable in what is supposed to be a racing sport. The other lapped cars didn’t matter.
@@jordanlewis1163 yep! If you have the wheel you need the harness, for the harness you need seats, Hans device and harness bar, to have the harness bar you should have the cage, and the cage and hans device both necessitate a helmet. Either you have all the safety gear all the time or is better to just leave the factory airbags (assuming they're not takata claymore units)
Verstappen is definitely my favorite driver and I think redbull made the right call, but I feel the decision to let the lapped cars pass and continue the race with was unfair to hamilton, whom I also respect as a driver. Under normal conditions he would have won that race. no accounting for luck I guess.
The thing that rubbed almost everyone the wrong way was the fact Masi only let the 5 lapped cars between Hamilton and Verstappen past (after they had already given them a conflicting message that they would not be allowed past). This left 3 lapped cars who had all stopped for fresh rubber unable to potentially fight for position with the unlapped cars, and in the way of other cars higher up the order such as Sainz. I think part of Masi’s reasoning was that if he let all 8 cars unlap themselves (which was more than half the remaining field), they would not be sufficiently far up the road and might interfere with the leading cars on the restart, but there was only one racing lap left and there is no way the leaders would catch them before the checkered flag. It certainly would have looked a lot less like he was manipulating the race if he had let all 8 lapped cars go by, but really it was an impossible situation because of the timing of Latifi’s crash and having to make sure the circuit was safe before any unlapping or racing. The biggest problem to me was having the team principals have direct access to the race director by radio during the race and able to shout and whine to their hearts content. I’m glad they at least made new rules to end those shenanigans.
In the end we can all gladly say that this wasn't on either Lewis or Max. I can't thank them enough for the great season that they gave us. Both have given us great racing together, even if it was on or over the edge sometimes. The mistake is on the FIA (and the teams themselves) to blame.
@@PattyjoAtworkstill wouldn’t call it a ‘mistake’. I READ the regulations, being the nerd I am. It states that the Race Director has ‘full discretion’ regarding restarts after a Safety Car. The problem was in the writing of the regulations themselves. Do the FIA not Lawyer? You could throw an entire person through the holes in those regulations. If Masi wanted the cars to stop, drivers get out, stand on their heads and then push the cars in themselves for the checkered flag, he could have. Letting lapped cars pass is perfectly ok. The ‘controversy’ came in the form of not letting the other two cars behind Verstappen past. One thing: he could have let them pass earlier and there still would have been a full lap to go but he was waffling despite the crash being cleared up. But he was waffling, because he was being yelled at by both Horner and Wolff the whole time. The regulations allowed him to do what he did. Was it a loophole? Maybe. It still was there. Max was legally the winner. But it was also highly unorthodox. Masi favored racing over finishing under the safety car. This was fine, except, he ticked off Mercedes and Hamilton and the British, who have F1 by the ballz. That’s why Masi sacked. A great wailing came up from Britain, heard all the way around the earth and even the dudes on the space station heard it. They pressured the FIA into firing Masi and Masi (and Latifi) needed guards because both of their LIVES were at risk from the outraged Hamilton fans…they even heaped rasist abuse on Masi and his family (Masi is Jewish). It was all a big sht show. But the rest of the world loved it. Best Lap EVER. After that, the regulation loopholes were sewn up, but it wouldn’t change the fact that they were there for 2021. And it never will. 😎
An episode about Gerhard Berger would probably be pretty entertaining. He was a bit of a prankster and a very laid back driver. He is a honest guy and was a very good friend of Senna (despite being his team mate). I remember my dad always saying, that he was the one of the last old school drivers, who just showed up for the race and instead of training all day, he just chilled and did what he wanted to do. Also his way into F1 was very unusual.
Crushed ice is the best form of winter sport I have ever seen in my life, if redbull could get it to the UK, you would make a lot of people happy. Also, would love a go, I can ice skate and I do aggressive inline, but crushed ice looks absolutely mental
The name of the Brazilian stock car team that they sponsored is “AMatheis.” “Cacá Bueno” is the name of their #1 driver at the time. Today Cacá Bueno still races in stock car with another team, and the AMatheis team still races in Stock car with another sponsor.
Good to see you do a red bull special, I've supported them since David Coulthard (2005) moved over to them . But Mark Webber is by far my favourite driver in the past 25 years a great character and asset to F1.
So I learned about TWO sports I'd never heard of before this week. Motorcycle chariot racing, and downhill hockey racing (why is this a thing?) which I am now incredibly fascinated by
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Checo who was the first driver from outside the academy to be a redBull driver. Also, his impact on the 2021 championship.
@@finneganmueller9775 But Webber was inherited from Jaguar, as was Klien. Red Bull Racing just took over the programme, including engines, tyres and drivers (and the already-designed car) as it was to late to change things around.

@@xrete my next door neighbour worked there in the paint department. He was telling me just to paint the cars cost nearly £100,000 as the paint has stuff in it that makes it more slippery through the air. F1 cars are on nasa levels.
The reason for the whole back marker being so controversial is because they initially insisted that they weren't allowed through but once they changed their mind they only let the cars between max and Lewis through making it a lot easier for max
Red Bulls teammanager Wheatley asked Masi to remove the backmarkers ... "We need just one lap" ... The same Wheatley asked Masi not to punish Max for pushing Lewis off track in Brazil
There were a couple pretty key points left out of the Yas Marina summary here: (1) Backmarkers are supposed to be allowed to unlap themselves under a safety car. The controversy came from the fact that the Race Director allowed ONLY the cars between max and Lewis to unlap themselves. There were several other backmarkers behind Max that were not allowed to unlap themselves before the race restarted. This was an undisputable breach of the rules which disadvantaged Lewis and all of the cars which were not allowed to unlap. Had the rules been followed correctly, it may have taken longer for the backmarkers to unlap and could have caused the race to end under safety car. Max would have also had pressure from behind him, which could have impacted his racing. Also, the backmarkers behind max were effectively prevented from racing for positions on the last lap, because the handful of cars in front of them were allowed through but they were not. (2) The Mercedes team didn't elect not to pit because they're less risky than red bull or unwilling to play aggressive like red bull. It was a pretty simple and obvious decision. If they had pitted, they would have been guaranteed to lose position to Max in the moment. Especially with no guarantee that the race will restart or when you know you'll only have 1-2 laps to pass after the caution is lifted, the only option is to stay out and maintain your track position. Track position is critically important in all race conditions, and the leader of a race is kind of always in a catch-22 when it comes to pit stops (unless they have 20-30 second lead). In the moment, every broadcaster, commentator, etc. recognized this fact that Mercedes had no option but to stay out. It's pretty strange that people retroactively try to characterize it as a mistake, presumably to justify Red Bull's win. Not a huge Mercedes guy, but not a red bull fan either. Just think the actual context of the race is important.
Plus very important point that checo ate into Hamilton's lead which ruined their chance for a free pitstop. Perez played the ultimate team game and won it for RB and Max.
Nothing like cherry picking the rulebook to justify your fanboyism. The rules also say that the Race Director has discretion to make decisions for the safety and sporting outcome of the race.
Yes, the way Verstappen won the last race was not fair and he shouldn't have won that race. BUT, if you look at the season overall, Max had bad luck so many times. He was going to win in Baku but his tyre exploded. Being taken out by Hamilton in Silverstone, who even won the race after a very small penalty. Being taken out in Hungary by Mercedes driver Bottas. All incidents that weren't his fault. Hamilton had been lucky that whole season, and many seasons before. Verstappen definetifely deserved that championship seeing how he drove such consistent and good races all year. Just sucks that it had end like this. And overall it was one of the best seasons in recent history :) Luckily he is proving himself this season by taking the challenge to Ferrari and winning every race he finishes so far. I also like how new Mercedes driver Russel is beating Hamilton at his first year with the team.
I really hate how people always say this. It's fine to just call a spade a spade, the final race doesn't need to be justified in roundabout thinking. Just say it was bull shit and then leave it there.
@@Zachary_McLaren Nothing wrong with saying all that. Max deserved the championship that season but he didn't deserve the win. It was a full season god dammit, stop dwelling on the final race.
@@Zachary_McLaren It's not really round about thinking every other race had just as much bearing on the championship as the last race did, Hamilton was gifted the win by the stewards in the first race of the season so that evens out any supposed conspiracy against him. Then when you factor in Max's bad luck and Mercedes torpedoes in Silverstone and Hungary it's safe to say Max should have won the Championship by a distance.
Back in the earlier years of snowboarding my mom competed professionally and red bull representatives would come up to the snowboard teams after a competition and say that they would pay for their beers if the drank Red Bull with their beer as an advertising tactic
The controversy on Abu Dhabi 2021 wasn’t just that Massi allowed cars to overtake the SC, which is allowed. There where several cars between Lewis and Max and more behind Max. By Merc’s calculations, if the SC ended with a couple laps to go, Max didn’t had enough laps to overtake the cars in front of him and then challenge Lewis; and they didn’t had enough laps for ALL the lapped cars to unlap themselves and then restart the race. The controversy was that Massi allowed ONLY the cars between Max and Lewis unlap themselves, which gave them exactly one lap of racing with no one between Max and Lewis
What you didn't cover, was that Max Verstappen was dominant the rest of the 2021 season exept for when a Mercedes car crashed him out. Deserved champion.
I still remember the Red Bull Drifting World Championship back in 08’, it was organized pretty much by Formula D in the port of long beach, one of the most epic days in motorsports, the sound of the quad rotor fd rx7 screaming down the straight still gives me chills. To me it was the peak of drifting, until the final, it was blatantly clear Tanner Foust (Rockstar Energy Drink/AEM) beat Rhys Millen (RMR RedBull) the crowd was chanting “rockstar!” and “this is BULLshit!”. Later that year I was hanging out with an exec from FD and I asked him about it, all he did was sigh and said “sponsors can control the outcomes, money talks”.
I can honestly say wearing my seatbelt most certainly has saved my life. I was driving my fathers pickup in the winter too fast(young and dumb, lesson learned don't @ me on that) when I slid off the road. The truck's nose caught the ditch and its tail went up high. I had a bruise from where my knee hit the underside of the dashboard for a couple of weeks and a seatbelt bruise for like 3 weeks. Otherwise walked out perfectly intact. I would've hit the windshield with some serious momentum.
Then why did he go from winning 9 races in a row in the latter stages of 2013 to getting consistently beaten by Daniel and finishing 5th while Daniel finished 3rd in 2014? Oh, I know! Because Red Bull were no longer the fastest car on the grid.
@@rumblefish9 Being in the best car on the grid is one thing, but NINE wins in a row is something special. Mercedes haven't had a driven do that and they won the constructors title 8 years in a row. Hamilton has dominated nearly every championship in that period and he didn't come close to 9 in a row.
Confusing the then retired David Coulthard with Mark Webber is the most "I'm American and I haven't heard of F1 before drive to survive" thing I've seen yet.
You missed out the detail that only the lapped cars between max and Lewis, none of the others, were allowed to pass the safety car. Carlos Sainz could've ended up in the fight for the win, theoretically, although I doubt he'd have wanted to involve himself in that.
"Junior team with no experience" Bro, they literally had (and still have) some of the best engineers between 2010-2013, Adrian Newey for example. I feel like donut media is on board the hype train made by Drive to Survive which created a bunch of Americans who have no clue about f1.
Drive to survive is just crap I've watch just a couple of episodes and realized that is just a bunch of bs...and because of that now everybody thinks is a F1 expert
There was a team called Minardi, it got bought into by Gabriele Rumi of Fondmetal; he sold a share to Paul Stoddart, then stepped back due to cancer. Stoddart then couldn't really afford to run the team properly and it went bust. Mateschitz/Marko realised it was a great was to get extra votes in their favour, as well as a Ferrari engine deal, inherited from Minardi & switched to Red Bull. Toro Rosso didn't get 'into' F1, they were just Minardi under new ownership and with better funding. Still the same factory, with many of the same people still working there from the Minardi days, even as Alpha Tauri.
Donut, I'd suggest Mahindra & Mahindra, an Indian automobile company for your 'Up to Speed' episode. You'd be quite surprised with what you might find with this company.
MV earned the win, makes me happy to see Lewis get his comeuppance for getting too arrogant, if he wants the 8 he needs to remember where he came from and that there's always a bigger fish waiting
buying a Formula 1 team just made sense 💁♂️
I'm surprised @donutmedia hasn't noticed it👀

One thing though, whoever designed that RedBull logo is absolutely ahead of his time.
And whoever translates Krating to Bull is behind in education because it isn't Bull it's Gaur LOL but I suppose RedGaur isn't as attractive as RedBull brand advertising wise.
very true actually, you never see a brand logo from back then so unchanged and still fitting in today's marketing and themes.

Bringing in Adrian Newey played a huge part in turning redbull racing into the powerhouse that it is. It would have been nice if his contributions were also mentioned, since he played a huge role as designer and technical director in bringing the team to the forefront.
and calling Coulthard a 'young phenom' ? - I like their content but they don't know WTF they're talking about. Newey was such a huge part of the success, still is.
Yeah another thing is that Red Bull isn't an energy drink company but a sports company that makes energy drinks.

Interesting side story I can add to this. Someone I know worked for Red Bull F1 in the early days of the team. He was partly responsible for pushing the team in a different direction that allowed them to make such dramatic improvement so quickly as a new team.
Traditionally teams would carry several spares of every part of the car, meaning big logistics and costs. They decided they would travel with less parts to save money on the logistics by looking into and gambling a bit on what they would hopefully only need.
In doing this they saved money they could put back into RnD.
Forgot to mention Adrian Newey as also a key figure in Red Bull's success. Also in 2009 it was Seb and Webber. Not Seb and Coulthard.

Note, RBR finished 7th in the 2006 Constructors standings scoring 16 points compared to 2005 were they scored 34 points. In 2007 the team switched to Renault engines and gave the Ferrari engines to their sister team
One thing that also contributed to Red Bull getting their own team had to do with Kimi Raikkonen. Red bull wanted another person in that seat for 2001, but Sauber decided to go with Kimi. Thats when Red Bull realized that in order to have full control they needed to own a F1 team.
You have to mention adrian newey who was the mastermind behind those championship winning cars and an absolute genius in aerodynamics
100%

@@shahulhusman True, but that was mainly because the renault engine that they were using was obliterated by the mercedes power unit
@@vidalso4548 yea thats true also.. definitely had some issues early on. I'd love to see the W11 vs the RB16b.. That would be epic. Honestly, if I started a team Newey would be top choice for aerodynamicist
@@shahulhusman the w11 was lapping like a second faster than the w12...
Lapped cars are always allowed to overtake before the safety car is set to come in. The difference at Abu Dhabi was that only the cars between Lewis and Max were allowed to overtake. The video makes it seem that lapped cars unlapping themselves was not the norm.
True. Does it really matter for the end result whether the ones behind them didn't unlap themselves?
@@tosehoed123 It does in the sense that if the other cars had unlapped themselves, there likely wouldn't have been enough time for one more flying lap if you include the lap they have to do behind the safety car in the "correct" (unlapped) order. That was basically the entire controversy: usually under a SC, all cars unlap themselves, getting behind the SC and then they get to race again. Unless of course they run out of laps, then the race finishes under the SC. MV decided to pit for fresh tyres (right call, nothing to lose), LH chose track position, which would have been right call for the race leader given the number of laps left. It looked like it was going to finish behind the SC, or racing would resume but with ALL the backmarkers still in place, meaning that MV wouldn't have had time to pass them all and attack LH for the lead and the WDC. So either way, LH would have won. So in this case, it did matter for the end result whether or not certain cars or all cars unlap themselves.
As to Masi, did he break any rules? No, but his decision to basically say: "fuck it, I wanna see some racing between these two to decide the championship so I'll just let the backmarkers between them go and then call the SC in so we can have some racing," went against basically the spirit of that particular rule for as long as it had existed.
Races ending under a safety car are BS anyway especially with a championship this close
You missed an interesting factoid of why RB decided to buy a team instead of just being a sponsor.
RB wanted one of their drivers in the Sauber seat but Peter Sauber decided to do a mad lad and put Kimi Räikkönen in that seat instead despite protests from everyone because Kimi only had 23 car races under his belt. Worked out well for Sauber since Kimi instantly became one of the most talented drivers on the grid.
So "Iceman" being so good Sauber decided to take a massive chance on an incredibly inexperienced driver is responsible for Red Bull owning a F1 team(well, two).
And they max was inexperienced
@@nicmagtaan1132 To be fair Max was an unprecedented situation altogether. Consider how young he was when he got his first drive.
Aaaand probably the biggest factor in their success is signing Adrian Newey
Kimi was essentially unknown to the f1 world before he debuted in 2001. to stress, KIMI HAD 23 RACES TOTAL under his belt, not 23 formula 2 or formula 3 races. 23 RACES TOTAL. Red Bull was obviously upset over this, and they jumped on the chance of owning a team immediately. so, we can all thank the iceman for red bull racing
The video missed a lot of stuff. Adrian Newey, 2014-2020, Honda engines drama and redemption, Redbull Powertrains, Gasly and Albon drama...
i've met christian horner before as i legit live like 5 minutes from the RBR factory, used to get the bus to school outside it and i've also met verstappen, albon, gasly and seen riccairdo

How was Max specifically (my favorite driver)…did you get any autographs or get a chance to talk to them for any length of time?
@@mamavswild oh funny story about him actually, so basically there's a railroad crossing that was always busy because of frequent trains, basically it lead to the nearest petrol station and once the bridge was down and max was in the traffic right in front of my bus stop, my mum was on her way to pick me up and i just calmly walked up and knocked on the window in my school uniform, he rolled it down and i asked him "are you max verstappen?" and he said yes, i legit had a solid 5-7 minute conversation with him about karting techniques and racing lines and such as well as my school life and he said to take a factory tour and he might be there, gave me a fist bump and this was around the time of the british gp in 2018. so yeah, really nice guy

Love that you spent more time talking about Abu Dhabi than a 4 time WDC. RIP Dietrich.
ikr
Yeah I liked the video until that big rant, which was very one-sided
They know who is greater
You’ve overlooked the real reason Red Bull has been successful in F1 - it is almost entirely due to signing F1 aero specialist and design guru Adrian Newey.
Newey is perhaps the most influential person to have ever been involved in the sport.
More influential than any driver on the grid, Newey is the real secret sauce to Red Bull’s success.
And I believe DC was a driving factor behind Newey signing
@@AdzSONLINE - so true. Newey only signed because of DC.
@@F1FanCanuck Not entirely. Newey actually signed for the team when it was known as Jaguar, still under Ford ownership. The team principal then was Bobby Rahal, who drove Indycar Marches designed by Newey in the mid-80s (which also used underfloor venturi tunnels, a factor almost all F1 'experts' seem to have forgotten when they say nobody in F1 currently has experience with ground effect; well Newey does...). However with Ron Dennis desperate to hang onto Newey, he got Mansour Ojjeh to agree to pay Newey more than any driver except Michael Schumacher, and the promise that McLaren would allow and support him designing Americas Cup yachts.
Newey then cancelled his move; and Rahal was sacked by Ford soon after, in favour of Niki Lauda.
Then after the Red Bull takeover of the Stewart/Jaguar project, Horner made it their #1 priority to get Newey, who was already very familiar with the factory/ equipment/ facilities etc from having 'signed' with them in 2001. Although Coulthard was supportive, it wasn't very much his influence/ idea.
@@OsellaSquadraCorse - this is how Horner described it in his own words…
“So in those days, DC having driven cars of Adrian’s at Williams and at McLaren obviously knew him very well and said ‘what you have to do is you get a dinner with Adrian and his wife because, let’s face it, the wives make all the decisions’.
“So we arranged this dinner in The Blue Birds in London and that’s where it all started and DC was talking to Adrian’s wife about everything and anything and that allowed me to have a conversation with Adrian and it turned out we had grown up in the same part of the UK, we’d gone to schools that were almost next door to each other, albeit distanced over time, but we had many things in common.
“I think what Adrian saw was, he was inquisitive why had DC come and what had he found when he got there and was it fun? Because I think he felt slightly stifled at McLaren and this team that was full of energy and ambition, we were not quite sure how we were going to achieve it, but with the backing of Dietrich [Mateschitz - Red Bull owner] and Red Bull and the brand behind us, it really appealed to him.
“We found out how much money he was earning at McLaren and he was nearly sent straight home, but Dietrich backed it all the way and said he was the right guy for our team and the rest is history.”
Newey really is up there with Colin Chapman as the most influential tbh
The Abu Dhabi Verstappen win is how I realized just how many friends of mine were into F1 because everyone crawled out of the woodwork to scream about it
Yup. Even Setsuna Yuki also screaming in unison to Max to cheer his maiden crown.
Yeah it was so amazing
My entire bar erupted in cheers of joy in the US; I suspect in the UK it was different…but don’t care!! The world LOVED IT (not the UK tho)…and this dude didn’t go into how Lewis is hardly a saint either, Max is the best. Love him!
An Old School, wheel to wheel fighter, there’s a reason Niki Lauda loved him.

2021 Abu Dhabi. You mentioned, that Masi decided to let the backmarkers go. That wasnt the problem. This happens after the SC. But usually (i mean always) every backmarker is allowed, not just 4. And they wait 1 lap for them to catch up, not restarting at the end of the lap.

It's a very inaccurate video in so many ways tbh.
@@jax4113 what are the inaccuracies?
@@brickson98m Sauber were sponsored by Red Bull from 1995-2004, not 1995-1997 as the video suggests. The last car to carry the Red Bull sponsorship was the 2004 Sauber C23. Red Bull only stopped sponsoring them following their purchase of Jaguar. Red Bull had NOTHING to do with Jaguar/Stewart until Jaguar hired Red Bull backed Austrian driver Christian Klien (later also drove for Red Bull from 2005-2006) in 2004. At the end of the 2004 season, Jaguar were bought out by Red Bull following Ford's exit from F1. Also stating that Stewart had "3 unsuccessful seasons" is a blatant lie. Stewart struggled in the first 2 seasons, sure but their 1999 was excellent. Barrichello scored three 3rd places throughout the season, at San Marino, France and the European GP. He also grabbed a pole position in the French GP. Johnny Herbert won the European GP meaning that the Stewart drivers finished 1st and 3rd, a double podium! They finished with 36 points which gave them 4th in the constructors behind McLaren, Ferrari and Jordan. They beat Williams and Benetton, 2 established title winning teams, also finishing ahead of Arrows, Sauber, Minardi, Prost and BAR. That season gave Ford the confidence to buy out Stewart altogether.
The main catalyst for Dieter wanting to enter F1 as a team was Kimi Räikkönen's move to Sauber in 2001. Dieter wanted to see Enrique Bernoldi in that seat but Peter Sauber obviously chose Räikkönen and Bernoldi got the seat at Arrows (Sponsored by RB from 01-02). That made him realize that if he wants true control, he needs his own team. That part was left out of the video completely.
Seb in 2013 was unstoppable, one of the greatest season ever. 9 wins in a row, longest streak ever. Up there with 2002 Schumacher season
Yep, those eyes behind the visor in the Singapore night race; he was epic.
David Coulthard never drove for RedBull in 2009 as he was retiring at the end of 2008, so that opened the door for the young hotshot Sebastian Vettel, who would went onto dominate from 2010 to 2013.
Yeah, Mark Webber finished 4th that year. Facts hey.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that slip up
3:52 rest in peace Dietrich we loved you and for what you did. The 5 Constructors championship was for you. We will all remember you DANKE DIDI.
No joke a seatbelt just saved my life last week, I was hit head on by a Ford e250 work van that was going 45 while driving a little Saturn SL2. If it wasn't for the seatbelt and air bag things would of been a whole lot worse!

Inexperienced????....... They have the best engineer in F1 history as their CTO. The mastermind Adrian Newey
You kinda missed the fact that Max Verstappen had a free pit stop and Hamilton didnt. Hamilton would have been behind Max if he pitted and Max did not pit.
Mercedes pit stop would be a terrible idea. There was no time to restart the race normaly. Imagine losing the WDC with an extra pit stop, and finishing behind SC
"free pit stop" right...
Rule in F1 is anything like accidents can happen
@@JSPHTRS the free pit stop isnt what's controversial, that's just the benefit of being in second place. In this case it gets mentioned because normal safety car procedure dictated there wouldn't be enough laps left in the race for lapped cars to pass and unlap themselves, which race control told teams over the radio, so it dictated the decision for mercedes notto pit and for red bull to get their free stop. Masi later decided to only unlap the cars between Lewis and Max so that there would be enough time to restart the race with one lap left with the championship leaders right next to one another. This was not technically against the rules in the sense that the race director had the power to overrule safety car procedure, but was absolutely against normal safety car rules and clearly engineered for the sake of television in a way that many felt was directly at odds with the integrity of the sport. It's hard to argue Max was undeserving IMO, but it felt absolutely wrong to manipulate the outcome of a championship for the sake of headlines and good riddance to Masi for the way that entire season was handled.
@@ericlee6913 well said

I love the "click it, don't risk it." In Florida when I was a kid it was "click it, or ticket." We had a different kind of motivation to buckle up. 😂😂😂
Shout out to Adrian Newey who was mostly responsible for the design of the RBR cars
Love how they had to downplay Max's world championship. If you look at the season overall Max absolutely deserved the championship. Before the last race Max won 9 races to Lewis's 8, had more Pole positions and Led more race laps then every else combined. He would have had the championship sooner if it wasn't for Bottas (A Mercedes) taking out both redbulls in Hungary and Silverstone where Lewis completely crashed out Max to win while only received a 10 second penalty. Max is the 2021 WDC and he absolutely deserved it.
For real. I really have nothing against Hamilton and I hate to bring it up this long after the championship was decided but it’s kind of a joke that people still say Max didn’t deserve the title. Baku, Silverstone, Hungary massive amount of points Max lost through no fault of his own. It just feels petty for people to still be arguing about it
I don't mind that there is the controversy and all because in every sport there are such moments for example Real Madrid and the penaltys in ucl from a few years ago. The problem is that Mercedes fans just get a stroke when you mention it and they don't give arguments just get mad and say 7 wdc
I mean when you are seconds behind in the final race of the season, one that mattered the most. He failed to deliver, and was bailed out by the FIA.
Controversial was when Hamilton started from pits passed everybody and almost lapped Max, may I say with a used motor.
@@davidvatavu7627 sounds like you’ve encountered some before haha.. always the 7wdc or 8wdc* or Max is a 1wdc*

The situation sucked, Masi broke the rules by only allowing the lapped cars between Max and Lewis go, but let’s leave the past in the past. They both drove great when they weren’t crashing into each other. But, hopefully they’ll be able to go at it again later on this season, or at least by next season, with a 3 way title fight between RB, Merc, and Ferrari.
@@DaSpaceJammer Massey let the championship be decided on the track by having them race. That seems perfectly reasonable in what is supposed to be a racing sport. The other lapped cars didn’t matter.
The only ad spot I'll never skip
Or racing harness steat belts
@@jordanlewis1163 yep! If you have the wheel you need the harness, for the harness you need seats, Hans device and harness bar, to have the harness bar you should have the cage, and the cage and hans device both necessitate a helmet. Either you have all the safety gear all the time or is better to just leave the factory airbags (assuming they're not takata claymore units)
NA Mx5 has no airbags from factory and from experience id rather whiplash from a harness than a concussion from a steering wheel.
Verstappen is definitely my favorite driver and I think redbull made the right call, but I feel the decision to let the lapped cars pass and continue the race with was unfair to hamilton, whom I also respect as a driver. Under normal conditions he would have won that race. no accounting for luck I guess.
The thing that rubbed almost everyone the wrong way was the fact Masi only let the 5 lapped cars between Hamilton and Verstappen past (after they had already given them a conflicting message that they would not be allowed past). This left 3 lapped cars who had all stopped for fresh rubber unable to potentially fight for position with the unlapped cars, and in the way of other cars higher up the order such as Sainz.
I think part of Masi’s reasoning was that if he let all 8 cars unlap themselves (which was more than half the remaining field), they would not be sufficiently far up the road and might interfere with the leading cars on the restart, but there was only one racing lap left and there is no way the leaders would catch them before the checkered flag. It certainly would have looked a lot less like he was manipulating the race if he had let all 8 lapped cars go by, but really it was an impossible situation because of the timing of Latifi’s crash and having to make sure the circuit was safe before any unlapping or racing.
The biggest problem to me was having the team principals have direct access to the race director by radio during the race and able to shout and whine to their hearts content. I’m glad they at least made new rules to end those shenanigans.
Finally a comment looks right from my mind
In the end we can all gladly say that this wasn't on either Lewis or Max. I can't thank them enough for the great season that they gave us. Both have given us great racing together, even if it was on or over the edge sometimes. The mistake is on the FIA (and the teams themselves) to blame.
@@PattyjoAtworkstill wouldn’t call it a ‘mistake’. I READ the regulations, being the nerd I am.
It states that the Race Director has ‘full discretion’ regarding restarts after a Safety Car. The problem was in the writing of the regulations themselves. Do the FIA not Lawyer? You could throw an entire person through the holes in those regulations. If Masi wanted the cars to stop, drivers get out, stand on their heads and then push the cars in themselves for the checkered flag, he could have. Letting lapped cars pass is perfectly ok. The ‘controversy’ came in the form of not letting the other two cars behind Verstappen past.
One thing: he could have let them pass earlier and there still would have been a full lap to go but he was waffling despite the crash being cleared up. But he was waffling, because he was being yelled at by both Horner and Wolff the whole time.
The regulations allowed him to do what he did. Was it a loophole? Maybe. It still was there. Max was legally the winner. But it was also highly unorthodox. Masi favored racing over finishing under the safety car. This was fine, except, he ticked off Mercedes and Hamilton and the British, who have F1 by the ballz. That’s why Masi sacked.
A great wailing came up from Britain, heard all the way around the earth and even the dudes on the space station heard it. They pressured the FIA into firing Masi and Masi (and Latifi) needed guards because both of their LIVES were at risk from the outraged Hamilton fans…they even heaped rasist abuse on Masi and his family (Masi is Jewish).
It was all a big sht show.
But the rest of the world loved it. Best Lap EVER.
After that, the regulation loopholes were sewn up, but it wouldn’t change the fact that they were there for 2021. And it never will. 😎
@@maryissound I don’t care who you think you are. Read the regulations.
An episode about Gerhard Berger would probably be pretty entertaining. He was a bit of a prankster and a very laid back driver. He is a honest guy and was a very good friend of Senna (despite being his team mate). I remember my dad always saying, that he was the one of the last old school drivers, who just showed up for the race and instead of training all day, he just chilled and did what he wanted to do. Also his way into F1 was very unusual.
I didn't realize Red Bull was started in Thailand, learn something new everyday
A video on Gerhard Berger would be very much appreciated. That guy was an awesome driver with amazing stories on and off track.
i love it when you guys cover F1, always so well produced videos and a great sense of humor too! love from Sweden
Crushed ice is the best form of winter sport I have ever seen in my life, if redbull could get it to the UK, you would make a lot of people happy.
Also, would love a go, I can ice skate and I do aggressive inline, but crushed ice looks absolutely mental
bro the fact that you got sponsored but NHTSA is such achievement
The name of the Brazilian stock car team that they sponsored is “AMatheis.” “Cacá Bueno” is the name of their #1 driver at the time. Today Cacá Bueno still races in stock car with another team, and the AMatheis team still races in Stock car with another sponsor.
Love Red Bull, that drink fuels my design industry job now and got me thru college
Good to see you do a red bull special, I've supported them since David Coulthard (2005) moved over to them . But Mark Webber is by far my favourite driver in the past 25 years a great character and asset to F1.
I’m torn between Max and Seb, I love them both and cheer for both of them (along with Mick which as far as I’m concerned is a package deal with Seb)
So I learned about TWO sports I'd never heard of before this week. Motorcycle chariot racing, and downhill hockey racing (why is this a thing?) which I am now incredibly fascinated by
Do you happen to know qxir?
I even get to see Nolan on a Nissan frontier ad before this video.. that’s crazy how big they’ve gotten👌
The employment of Adrian Newey was also quite pivotal… That definitely needed a mention.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Checo who was the first driver from outside the academy to be a redBull driver. Also, his impact on the 2021 championship.
Webber was also a non-red bull academy driver
@@SebastianMeda05 yessir And also Coulthard
@@finneganmueller9775 But Webber was inherited from Jaguar, as was Klien. Red Bull Racing just took over the programme, including engines, tyres and drivers (and the already-designed car) as it was to late to change things around.
@@OsellaSquadraCorse true coulthard wasn’t the first but my exact point still stands that none of them were apart of Red Bull academy so Perez wasn’t the first.
Webber?
I hope your sponsors are paying you a premium because you're the only channel who takes the time to produce ad content worth watching. Keep up the good work boys.
The Red Bull F1 factory is literally 10mins from my house I drive past it everyday going to work.
thats cool
@@xrete my next door neighbour worked there in the paint department. He was telling me just to paint the cars cost nearly £100,000 as the paint has stuff in it that makes it more slippery through the air. F1 cars are on nasa levels.
@@smith2781 Where do you live? I wanna paint that car too 😏
That sponsor spot was so professional that Nolan even shaved for it. Great stuff guys.
Red bull winning the championship with a fraction of Merc's with R&D budget $500million+ is much more expressive than anything else
The reason for the whole back marker being so controversial is because they initially insisted that they weren't allowed through but once they changed their mind they only let the cars between max and Lewis through making it a lot easier for max
Red Bulls teammanager Wheatley asked Masi to remove the backmarkers ... "We need just one lap" ...
The same Wheatley asked Masi not to punish Max for pushing Lewis off track in Brazil
How are you not going to mention Checo holding Lewis back! That was an amazing moment.
They missed this in the mockumentary DTS as well.
They didn't mention a lot of stuff, Adrian Newey, Toro Rosso, Albon and Gasly sh*t show, Renault and Honda engines drama, Checo...
I think the call in the race was absolutely the best one.
There were a couple pretty key points left out of the Yas Marina summary here:
(1) Backmarkers are supposed to be allowed to unlap themselves under a safety car. The controversy came from the fact that the Race Director allowed ONLY the cars between max and Lewis to unlap themselves. There were several other backmarkers behind Max that were not allowed to unlap themselves before the race restarted. This was an undisputable breach of the rules which disadvantaged Lewis and all of the cars which were not allowed to unlap. Had the rules been followed correctly, it may have taken longer for the backmarkers to unlap and could have caused the race to end under safety car. Max would have also had pressure from behind him, which could have impacted his racing. Also, the backmarkers behind max were effectively prevented from racing for positions on the last lap, because the handful of cars in front of them were allowed through but they were not.
(2) The Mercedes team didn't elect not to pit because they're less risky than red bull or unwilling to play aggressive like red bull. It was a pretty simple and obvious decision. If they had pitted, they would have been guaranteed to lose position to Max in the moment. Especially with no guarantee that the race will restart or when you know you'll only have 1-2 laps to pass after the caution is lifted, the only option is to stay out and maintain your track position. Track position is critically important in all race conditions, and the leader of a race is kind of always in a catch-22 when it comes to pit stops (unless they have 20-30 second lead). In the moment, every broadcaster, commentator, etc. recognized this fact that Mercedes had no option but to stay out. It's pretty strange that people retroactively try to characterize it as a mistake, presumably to justify Red Bull's win.
Not a huge Mercedes guy, but not a red bull fan either. Just think the actual context of the race is important.
Plus very important point that checo ate into Hamilton's lead which ruined their chance for a free pitstop.
Perez played the ultimate team game and won it for RB and Max.
Nothing like cherry picking the rulebook to justify your fanboyism. The rules also say that the Race Director has discretion to make decisions for the safety and sporting outcome of the race.
Yes, the way Verstappen won the last race was not fair and he shouldn't have won that race. BUT, if you look at the season overall, Max had bad luck so many times. He was going to win in Baku but his tyre exploded. Being taken out by Hamilton in Silverstone, who even won the race after a very small penalty. Being taken out in Hungary by Mercedes driver Bottas. All incidents that weren't his fault.
Hamilton had been lucky that whole season, and many seasons before. Verstappen definetifely deserved that championship seeing how he drove such consistent and good races all year. Just sucks that it had end like this. And overall it was one of the best seasons in recent history :)
Luckily he is proving himself this season by taking the challenge to Ferrari and winning every race he finishes so far. I also like how new Mercedes driver Russel is beating Hamilton at his first year with the team.
I really hate how people always say this. It's fine to just call a spade a spade, the final race doesn't need to be justified in roundabout thinking.
Just say it was bull shit and then leave it there.
@@Zachary_McLaren Nothing wrong with saying all that. Max deserved the championship that season but he didn't deserve the win. It was a full season god dammit, stop dwelling on the final race.
@@Zachary_McLaren It's not really round about thinking every other race had just as much bearing on the championship as the last race did, Hamilton was gifted the win by the stewards in the first race of the season so that evens out any supposed conspiracy against him. Then when you factor in Max's bad luck and Mercedes torpedoes in Silverstone and Hungary it's safe to say Max should have won the Championship by a distance.
@@ronmastrio2798 exactly
Back in the earlier years of snowboarding my mom competed professionally and red bull representatives would come up to the snowboard teams after a competition and say that they would pay for their beers if the drank Red Bull with their beer as an advertising tactic
The controversy on Abu Dhabi 2021 wasn’t just that Massi allowed cars to overtake the SC, which is allowed. There where several cars between Lewis and Max and more behind Max. By Merc’s calculations, if the SC ended with a couple laps to go, Max didn’t had enough laps to overtake the cars in front of him and then challenge Lewis; and they didn’t had enough laps for ALL the lapped cars to unlap themselves and then restart the race. The controversy was that Massi allowed ONLY the cars between Max and Lewis unlap themselves, which gave them exactly one lap of racing with no one between Max and Lewis
Yeah i remember that too...Why only several cars between HAM and MAX that allowed to unlap themselves is beyond me.
because the rules state any cars and not all cars. so Masi can decide how many can unlap themselves.
What you didn't cover, was that Max Verstappen was dominant the rest of the 2021 season exept for when a Mercedes car crashed him out. Deserved champion.
They're Lewis fangirls at Donut so they wouldn't agree
@@aurelius8439 i could tell
I was a massive Lewis fan since his rookie year ... but by the end of 2020 I couldn't stomach the politics.
Bro, that reverse sneeze had me cackling 😂
love how we just skipped over the fact they had a second F1 team
How can you miss Seb's insane win streak that still hasn't been beaten by Ham or Merc
I love the James overlay on the stock business meeting video with the guy in the middle peeking over his shoulder
Masi wasnt fired, he was reassigned to a different position in the fia
That's a nicer way of saying "You're fired"
Man they got that NHTSA sponsor damn
I still remember the Red Bull Drifting World Championship back in 08’, it was organized pretty much by Formula D in the port of long beach, one of the most epic days in motorsports, the sound of the quad rotor fd rx7 screaming down the straight still gives me chills. To me it was the peak of drifting, until the final, it was blatantly clear Tanner Foust (Rockstar Energy Drink/AEM) beat Rhys Millen (RMR RedBull) the crowd was chanting “rockstar!” and “this is BULLshit!”. Later that year I was hanging out with an exec from FD and I asked him about it, all he did was sigh and said “sponsors can control the outcomes, money talks”.
I can honestly say wearing my seatbelt most certainly has saved my life. I was driving my fathers pickup in the winter too fast(young and dumb, lesson learned don't @ me on that) when I slid off the road. The truck's nose caught the ditch and its tail went up high. I had a bruise from where my knee hit the underside of the dashboard for a couple of weeks and a seatbelt bruise for like 3 weeks. Otherwise walked out perfectly intact. I would've hit the windshield with some serious momentum.
People tend to forget how great Seb Vettel was. Won his first F1 GP in a Scuderia Torro Rosso and the rest is history!
Then why did he go from winning 9 races in a row in the latter stages of 2013 to getting consistently beaten by Daniel and finishing 5th while Daniel finished 3rd in 2014? Oh, I know! Because Red Bull were no longer the fastest car on the grid.
@@rumblefish9 Being in the best car on the grid is one thing, but NINE wins in a row is something special.
Mercedes haven't had a driven do that and they won the constructors title 8 years in a row. Hamilton has dominated nearly every championship in that period and he didn't come close to 9 in a row.
here we are at 2023 with an almost perfect season for red bull
Confusing the then retired David Coulthard with Mark Webber is the most "I'm American and I haven't heard of F1 before drive to survive" thing I've seen yet.
They should have checked their script better as they had already said that Webber had replaced DC.
You missed out the detail that only the lapped cars between max and Lewis, none of the others, were allowed to pass the safety car. Carlos Sainz could've ended up in the fight for the win, theoretically, although I doubt he'd have wanted to involve himself in that.
Actually, after the race he said that he would’ve tried overtaking if he had the opportunity
Sainz had old tyres just like Lewis lmao, he didn't have the pace to do anything, get real.
Jake on Red Bull. What the world needed.
"Junior team with no experience"
Bro, they literally had (and still have) some of the best engineers between 2010-2013, Adrian Newey for example.
I feel like donut media is on board the hype train made by Drive to Survive which created a bunch of Americans who have no clue about f1.
Sadly, I feel the same way. They kinda put some effort on it in some videos but mostly it's less than reading Wikipedia depth kind of knowledge.
Drive to survive is just crap I've watch just a couple of episodes and realized that is just a bunch of bs...and because of that now everybody thinks is a F1 expert
"or playing RUclips's fav uncle"
Lol Jerry must be protected at all costs 😂
that was THE MOST BADASS first 60 seconds of any youtube video
12:01 Needs a sequel video about how Toro Rosso got into F1.
There was a team called Minardi, it got bought into by Gabriele Rumi of Fondmetal; he sold a share to Paul Stoddart, then stepped back due to cancer. Stoddart then couldn't really afford to run the team properly and it went bust. Mateschitz/Marko realised it was a great was to get extra votes in their favour, as well as a Ferrari engine deal, inherited from Minardi & switched to Red Bull. Toro Rosso didn't get 'into' F1, they were just Minardi under new ownership and with better funding. Still the same factory, with many of the same people still working there from the Minardi days, even as Alpha Tauri.
Donut, I'd suggest Mahindra & Mahindra, an Indian automobile company for your 'Up to Speed' episode. You'd be quite surprised with what you might find with this company.
Tata might be better, people know about it more
As an America , never heard of them. Could make for a good episode
the only thing i know about mahindra is their FE team
Coulthard retired in 2008 and Hamilton finished 5th in the standings. It was Mark Webber who finished 4th behind Barichello.
MV earned the win, makes me happy to see Lewis get his comeuppance for getting too arrogant, if he wants the 8 he needs to remember where he came from and that there's always a bigger fish waiting
so good to see Hamilton being laped and finishing 16th bring me almost the same joy as watching Perez at the front and ferrary fighting for titles
@Soham Rawat and that's OK he is winning a few podiums making a few millions my man,
Saluti di Napoli.
Really appreciate the seatbelt advertisement!!!!
My favorite drivers (Max and Seb) and my favorite team!! Go Max!!
