@@maxouf1 yeah, that was all Ericssons fault :D
So Heyer got a DNQ, DSQ, DNF and technically a DNS in one race? What a legend...
Emil Halonen Exactly correct
Even Maldonado would be proud of him.
raghunathun is probably going to do that if he could get into f1
What does DNS stand for again?
Tristan Blikman Did Not Start
I still remember what Kimi said after that Canadian GP: "Everything was going well until some woodeneye crashed into me on pitlane"
That's a calque translation of the Finnish insult for someone who can't see properly. If you look up "puusilmä" on the English wiktionary, Kimi is actually quoted there.
Fkn ham
I hate Kimi he mocked people like that what a frickin rude guy
No wonder kimi is hated, he literally stopped for what? Lmao
@@tilentgamer8758
Kimi ain't in F1 to 'pretend' to be nice to everyone, and that's why he's so popular. It was a pretty silly move from Lewis running into him.
Then he says I'm sorry 'IF' I ruined Kimi's race. What do you mean IF?
"I apologise to Kimi if I've ruined his race" um well yes Lewis you did.
Well, it's basically like he won the championship. Very soon Ferrari started focusing more on Massa.
I always thought Lewis heading towards Kubica then swerving into Kimi, combined with his lack of contrition was pretty telling.
@@mcrecordings Well he was only heading towards Kubica because he and Kubica were on the normal pitlane line. It's pretty obvious the collision happened because he didn't notice the red light and saw Kubica too late, but I don't believe he swerved left to take out Kimi.
If he stayed straight, he's certain to hit Kubica because he's obviously not going to stop in time.
If he swerved right, he's going right into the wall and the marshals stood there.
If he swerved left, there's more road on that side of Kimi's car.
@@mcrecordings He swerved left as a reflex because there was a gap on the left. There was no gap on the right. Unfortunately he wasn't able to avoid Kimi while trying to place his car in the gap.
Not only has Hamilton had massive problems recognizing other cars around him during the beginning of his career in F1, he also made an asshole statement at 4:08. He was a true asshole back at that time.
Lewis: *crashes into Kimi and ruins his race*
Also Lewis: "I apologise to Kimi IF I ruined his race"
Hey, at least Hamilton had to pay a penalty with a 10 place grid drop the next race.
The same can not be said of Raikkonen, who the FIA gave no penalty, for completely ruining Sutil's race in Monaco.
Those were the days when Max Mosley's FIA agenda to favour Ferrari was clear as day.
The Priti Patel apology.
@@MT-pv2rf did Rosberg got a penalty too?
@@andreaswiesheu2240 yeah
@@MT-pv2rf Yeah because Kimi made a driving error on a rainy Monaco track during race conditions and did not ruin someone's race by trying to exit a pitlane which was closed. There is a reason why Hamilton's crash is on this list. It's probably the most embarrassing thing that's happened in his amazing career.
Kubica in Russia
Reason for DNF: saving parts
That's more sad than weird though, to be fair.
But then he crashed in the FP sessions twice in a row afterwards, so not many parts saved.
@@markhenley3097 Because they were saving them for Russell. Russell crashed out first, then he got Kubicas parts for the next race and Kubica got scrap parts from winter tests, to which Williams showed up with no car. Kubicas car was undriveable in both FP1's because nothing worked.
It's James
@@MntRprznt "Robert, are you okay?"
Yeah I'm okay but this is a fucking joke"
Alesi: stays out and ignores team
Lighting McQueen: not bad kid
You do realise Lightning does now listen to the team right?
*you need TIRES you idiot!*
[Clashing equipment in frustration]
@@mich6781 peet stop
you can't blame mcqueen back then he was a rookie. alesi not really
@@sjboyz You will have ur time guido
I think Heyer’s attempt to start a race he wasn’t supposed to be in goes down as the funniest disqualification in F1 history. I’m sorry, but I can’t stop laughing at that moment.
One wonders quite how much he was fined for that.
you can't be disqualified for something you weren't officially in lol
You mean you can't stop Laughlin
he did a Remi Gaillard before RUclips was a thing
Steven Leung
Well, you’re not wrong.
I love how the guy at 0:10 doesn’t even look up from his phone, like drivers raging is just an everyday thing 😂
That nonchalant dodge is everything!
He should have shouted at him and told him to have more respect. The driver saw that he was standing there. Emotions ok, but thats unrespecful.
It's Haas so ...
Just driving out on track without even qualifying is still one of the biggest boss moves in f1 history. Sure, it was illegal, but I feel he deserves more praise for doing that lmao.
Heyer: 0 starts, but a DNQ, DNF and DSQ, he's absolutely a legend of F1.
Clark and Hamilton can eat their hearts out, THAT is a grand slam
I heard a cool story once about Senna. After craving out of a race he said that the wall had moved. People thought he was just making excuses, but when they checked it turned out that someone had brushed that wall on a prior lap and moved it a few centimeters out of place.
Oh yeah, it was a concrete barrier yeah?
I feel like Buemi's exploding tyres would also count as weird
*Practice, not a race, oops
True - but that was a practice session, rather than a race!
Oh, right! Thank you, Formula one!
@@squinz3824 No problem, Squinzyboy 😉 Hope you enjoyed the video!
@@Formula1 you can speak portuguese?
Maybe Kimi at Europe 2005 get's an honourable mention.
Grosjean- crashing on the opening Lap on his own
-crashing under a safety car on his own
Maddin0602 _ crashing in the pit exit on his own.
Or the crash after a race i forgot who i think Vettel got rammed
@@TheUkaners that happened quite a lot of times tho
@@janvandeven906 it was Stroll
Erricson hit him
baku didnt get the 'drainage welding' memo
Didn't Grosjean also hit a dislodged drain cover at Sepang in the early '10s?
He did in 2017
Stark Raven Barrichello hit a loose drain cover up into casino square at Monaco in 2010. Grosjean was in 2017
Well done Baku
Baku is a street circuit. They cannot weld the drainages as they need to do maintenance during its use as a normal street
I was hoping for Nigel Mansell's DNF in Canada when he was leading with great advantage and then stalled his car in the last lap, because he was waving for the crowd
The Williams team saved Nigel"s embarrassment by claiming it was an electrical fault, the truth was he hit the kill button.
Too bad only room for one pre 1995 retirement?!
Also, what about Mika Hakkinen's astonishing mis-shift causing his McLaren to spin out in Italy? He also broke down in tears by the side of the track and even though I wasn't a big fan, I still felt sorry for him. But then it reminded me that despite all the technology and money being poured into the sport, it's still the human side of the sport that matters.
I think that goes on a different list anytime soon.
Maybe we can hope for a list of dished out victories xD
Senna's crash with a 50 seconds lead in Monaco would pair nicely.
Piquet's last F1 win. He should thank Mansell. He waved his goodbye to the top step of the podium
Honorable Mention:
Nelsion Piquet Jr.: *Crashed on purpose*
04:44 "And his mechanics will be AB-SO-LUTE-LY FURIOUS"
Oh oh oh , Jean!
He went on to do the exact same thing two years later... :P
Hand Solo You may well look a bit worried! You’ve got a major problem, sunshine, when you get back to the pits!
@@ihathtelekinesis days of thunder?
Had I been Alesi, I’d have gone straight to the airport…I wouldn’t have gone back to the pits!
I think all of them were hit by Ericsson
XD
Where is bwoahhh Kimi's retirement in Monaco when he walked straight over to his yacht and changed into his bathing suit instead of going back to the garage???
What a Power move.
He is enjoying his life
I think the heat shield with the car failed
Not a weird retirement. It was a mechanical issue. Also not the first time someone hasn't returned to the garage after a DNF.
@@TR.372 but he got the d r i n c c
I know it’s more of a DNS rather than a DNF but jacques Lafitte pouring visor cleaning fluid in his eyes has to be up there
Say what!? When did this happen? Couldn't find on a quick search y.y
@@RadeticDaniel You could look it up, it's usually the first result. Basically mistook his visor cleaning fluids for his eyedrops and started the race with flaming eyes, most likely
"I apologise to Kimi if I ruined his race". MATE, you smashed in the back of him, of course you ruined his race.
..."well these things happen"...when it literally never occured before and afterwards :D
Classic Hamilton "it's not my fault" approach.
@@przemek1919 lol he apologised for it , meaning he admitted that is was his fault
But you know don’t let logic get in the way of your hateboner
@@sentientspaghetti1898 apology with the word "if" is never a proper apology
Don't expect anything from Shamilton the pathetic sore loser who doesn't even have the dignity to turn up to the FIA Gala and collect his 2nd place trophy
Top 10 weirdest retirements
*pastor Maldonado entered the chat*
*And then cries and leaves the chat*
It was weird when he didn't retire 😂
@@lorenzoconti9192 I was about to say.. this list is for ''weird'' crashes. Maldenado and crashing was the normality. nothing weird about it.
I remember at Singapore 2008, Mark Webber suffered a electrical interference at the 'Anderson Bridge' section of the track and had to retire.
That for me is the most bizarre of all time.
I remember another bizarre retirement from the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix...
The speculation was that that section of the track (around Turns 11 & 12) is just above an underground tunnel that an electric subway/metro train just happened to be passing thru @ that time
@@lzh4950 Which is quite a probable explanation, given that, I believe it was Red Bull, that had Ricciardo and Max drive RC cars on the track while standing in that subway tunnel themselves.
@@nicorosbergf1fan783 Crashgate🤣🤣
@@lzh4950 yep, the anderson bridge runs over an MRT tunnel that trains go through.
Han Heyers were the weirdest retirement.14 drivers in USA 2005: hold my Michelin tires 😂😂
I see what you're going for but technically. those retired BEFORE the race had even started. hence it isn't on this list.
@@lunasilvermoon2283 so 14 DNS's
3:20 this is a terrifying shot. A sudden left front puncture there and one of those cars easily could have gone straight on into the marshals.
As much as VSC’s and Safety Cars can sometimes interrupt the flow of a race, it’s shots like these that remind me how much better it is to err on the side of safety
That was my first thought, too.
And they're all just wearing caps and headphones.
Hamilton: crashes into the back of raikkonen
Also Hamilton: I APoLiGiZeD tO KiMi iF I rUiNeD HiS rAcE
0:30 Kimi retired from the race as well a few laps later, due to an engine issue. Quite neatly sums up Mclaren in the first half of the 2000s.
Yet he finished second.
"Weirdest race retirements in F1"
*nelson piquet jr has left the chat
Bottas’s pitstop drama in Monaco should now take part of this list
grosjean at baku when he was heating the tyres
buemi at shanghai when he "lost" his front tyres
Buemi in shanghai was in a practice session so doesn't count as a retirement
4:18 "I'm sorry if I ruined his race, but that sorta thing happens."
What a scumbag. Should have said
"I apologize for running Kimi's back. That shouldn't have happened and it's on me."
That guy who snuck into the race is now my new hero
Me: Sees Top 10 weirdest DNFs in F1
Also me: *Immediately starts to compare this video with WTF1's version*
5:38 That's me... thanks for mentioning my achievement!!!
XD
Heyer sneaking out onto the track to start the race, what a savage.
What I like about Han Heyers retirement is Formula 1 using footage form the Argentinean and Brazilian Grand Prix to illustrate what happened in Germany.
Lewis: These things happen.
And yet it made the top 10 *weirdest* retirements list.
The scene with Lewis and Kimi still makes me mad after all these years. But the incident was quite Kimi‘s 2008 in a nutshell.
Anger management issues!
Why you mad bruh
Hans Heyer also holds unbeatable record of scoring DNQ, DNS, DNF and DSQ at the same race!
Well, technically, he _did_ start. He just wasn't authorized to.
lewis "that sort of stuff happens"
Weird race retirements video: am i a joke to you ?
Retiring from a race you didnt qualify for, you officily didnt start the race, to retire and be disqualified in the same race is THE archievement Romain is still lookin after XDD
lol that dude at 0:11
grosjean throws something at him and he casually evades not even looking up from his device
1:33
"Oh my ass is getting warm now" - M. Verstappen, 2017
Alesi in Australia 1997...
And you can see by the body language of the Benneton mechanics that they are ab...so...lutely… FURIOUS!!!!
Murray Walker... I love you.
Haas' double tyre bolt goof-up is a memorable DNF for me. Maybe not weirdest, but, certainly makes it on the list of most embarrassing slips
the toro rosso losing both front wheels was a great one too
4:02 "Red light mate"
To say that the Ferrari incident with alesi and berger is bad luck would be a massive understatement. It's kinda like massa in hungary 09
I'm surprised Damon Hill didn't make the cut. He retired a healthy car on his last ever F1 race, because he got bored.
We can probably add Bottas, Monaco 2021 - right front tire wouldn't come off in the pits, had to retire from 2nd.
I still remember the exact words in my head from dad watching Lewis crash into the back of Kimi in Montreal, "Kick his ass Kimi!"
Bottas Monaco GP 2021 should be in part 2
I would also list Bottas`48h Pitstop from Monaco here now.
Seeing the words "Petronas" and "Red Bull" on the same car is weird somehow
Nothing weird about it, it's just a new energy drink product added with gasoline. :v
What about "durex" on the f1 car of Surtees team in 1976 ;-) Isn't that weird?
@@henryb.2941 why is that weird?
And the funniest thing here is that that car was neither Mercedes nor Red Bull)
Alesi is freaking lightning McQueen in his race when he doesnt pit
"i apologize to kimi IF ive ruined his race". you ran right into the back of him. theres no question you ruined his race lol
2:30 "Here, this is was what missing from the tool set?" hahaha
Mercedes and Bottas (Monaco 2021): hold my beer...
Add one more to the list: Bottas retiring due to the longest pit stop ever!
Haha yup
Where's that time when Damon Hill retired a healthy car because he can't take anymore of it?
I think that classifies more as ''stupid'' than weird. if anything he should have at least finish that race before walking off
It was Suzuka 99 I guess, he was pretty much checked out on his final race
He was done racing. Can't argue with that
@@DrJReefer I won't argue him being done with racing.. he wouldn't have been the first to walk off mid-season but atleast finish the very race you're driving.. THEN walk away.. don't park it mid-race and go ''fuck you guys, i'm out'' .
He was suffering from anxiety and depression at the time. A motor race was quite futile in comparison to his family.
Webber's bottom catching fire in the seat was kinda funny to imagine lol
"Liar, liar, pants on fire"
Dude’s done it all. Backflip a prototype on the Mulsanne? Yup. Backflip an F1 car? Pretty much. Get taken out by a teammate? Oh yeah. Have to extinguish his own engine fire? You’d best believe. Puke in his helmet during a race? Uh-huh. Had his car’s fire extinguisher go off in his face on the grid? Of course!

"if" you ruined his race?

Love your content FORMULA 1, you inspired me to start my own youtube channel.
Thank you for motivation.
I love that the footage of Hans Heyer isn’t from Germany 🤦🏻♂️
GROSJEAN NEED HIS OWN TOP10 RETIREMENT
*top 50
At 4:49 you can see the Benetton mechanics that they are
AB-SO-LUTELY FURIOUS!!
The last point reminds me of the time a random fan managed to sneak into the Man United team picture lol.
I remember Finnish TV commentator and former F1 engineer telling a story that driver was told over radio "new tyres" (or smth like that). However, driver misheard it "retire" and pulled over (or went straight into garage. Can't remember since it was told several years ago). He did not tell who the driver was, but it happened while in Toyota.
You just showed the 99 European grand prix and there was a very strange one in that one.
Frentzen pits while leading, and grinds to a halt at turn 2 after the stop- Jordan called it an electrical issue at the time, but it turned out he'd forgotten to turn the pit limiter off.... Heartbreaking.
Please do a top 10 of just Alesi's weird retirements, that'd still be worth it.
Favourite has thumbnail of pit lane peril
Hamilton colliding back of Räikkönen then Rosberg went into back of Hamilton while Kubica gets away easily once light turned green 😂
Kimi pointing at the light is so funny.
Heyer getting disqualified for a race he didn't even qualify for reminds me of Kramer being fired from a workplace he doesn't actually work at.
2:16 look it’s a mercedesbullsauber
Most cursed car in f1
Heyer: The secret ingredient is crime.
the holy trinity
I'd have added Frentzen's 1999 German GP retirement from leading the race. The reason was he just pitted and forgot to switch back to race mode from pit mode and the car effectively put itself into neutral and revved the engine. He thought it was a failure of some sort, so he pulled over at the first corner and retired. Poor Frentzen might have had a chance of the championship if he didn't forget to switch the car back to race mode after that pitstop.
at 0:10 something fell in my kitchen, lol
Heyer's was incredible. What an achievement!!👏👏👏
Piquet Jr. deliberately "retiring" the car in Singapore?
Thx F1 for keeping us entertained during quarantine
Hans Heyer lives in my neighborhood :D. I worked a short time in a Mercedes workshop and had the honor to see his brand new smashed cls :D
F1 give us uncensored Team radios!! Plss
might get demonetised for that one
RUclips wont like it
For anyone who doesn’t know.
Spanner = 🔧
TheGlaceon Thomasfan we call it a wrench here in the United States and Canada. We do and say things off the book here.
The funniest thing is, "It wasn't a SPANNER/WRENCH". At 2:28 you can clearly see him handing over a pair of wire cutters/snips. Two black rubber handles, and shiney chrome top. Ha ha ha :-)
Brian Anshen I’m American. Was clarifying for people over here.
seeing Herbert retire due to a forgotten spanner makes Ricciardo's 2018 Shanghai win more impressive since he also had at same problem but somehow managed to finish, and finish well
one of the weirdest is magnussens retirement in imola "headache from shifting"
Weirdest retirements : Indianapolis 2005
No love for Kimi? Seems rare for an F1 RUclips vid.
2013 Spa, Kimi is the new leader in consecutive races finished in the points. A visor tear-off gets lodged in his brake duct. Despite pitting and having it removed, the brakes remained too hot and eventually failed. Yup, a visor tear-off stopped his streak.
Russel in Baku 19, Grosjean in Malaysia 17 (i saw this live) were also victims of a loose drain cover
Gaming 10701
Rubens Barrichello in Monaco 2010 as well
What about Jean Deniz Deletraz, who retired because of cramp in his arm at the Portugese Grand Prix of 1995? That has to be the most silly retirement ever.
