  • The man, the myth, the G.O.A.T. Mahaveer Raghunathan had a rather interesting season in Formula 2 in 2019. Throughout that time, he gained notoriety, for a number of reasons. But, for some reason, has achieved a cult following of sorts. Find out why, as we look into Lord Raghunathan's career...

      If I remember correctly, 107% rule are applied in F1. He was near to the limits of that rule by not crashing and completing the laps on F2 (meaning his "true" pace are there), because certain driver who exceeded that rule and are allowed to race are mostly caused by crash, mechanical/terminal damage, or red flagged before their hotlap started (Stroll French GP 2021). This'll be interesting enough to see if he survived the pace of an F1 car alongside the 107% rule on qualifying, ofc that is if he haven't crashed the car yet.

    This guy reminds me of the customers I have to deal with everyday at my job at a go-kart track. I constantly have to deal with people who claim that they’re “professionals,” and then drive like they’ve completely lost all basic common sense, running other drivers into the walls and ignoring yellow flags. I once had to deal with a guy who repeatedly ignored the yellow flag, even when I got in his face with the “slow down” sign. Eventually we kicked him off the track, to which he complained to my manager claiming that he is a “semi-professional” racer. Come to find out that this guy actually owns a race car and races at an amateur level. It’s scary to think what people like this can do on an actual full scale track.

      Raghunathan, on the other hand, was even more horrendously slow (several seconds slower than Calderon alone in qualifying, and even some F3 cars), seemingly didn't know half the rules, barely knew how to turn the steering wheel and was a safety risk to his fellow racers and stewards (driving at full speed on the cool down lap), racking up enough penalty points to get banned twice.

    19:41 Honestly, I think that someone with enough knowledge of the sport and elementary racing career (even amateur karting) could very well match his performance over the course of a season in F2.
    Talking about lap times is hard without ever driving the car, but I think that a normal person knows how to turn the wheel in 3-point turn, checkered flag means finish, slow down when the SC sign is out and don't go before the guy in front. I'd love to see a normal, inexperienced guy vs Raghunathan in a F2 season.

    Story time:
    I know im really late to this video but i only recently saw this
    So i used to race karts in India with Mahaveer but i was never in the same class as him cuz im around 3/4 years older i think, the weaving i saw in this video is literally the same as during his karting days, i remember on one race weekend he managed to bend 3 different rear axles on his kart ( dont remember if this was across the whole weekend or just during practice). his disregard for the rules doesnt really seem to have changed since karting, he wasnt the best at it but i would assume as he got older he'd learn to obey the rules more but that doesnt seem to be the case.
    During 2011 in the inaugural Indian F1 GP, the support race was the JK Racing Asia Series! I was like 15 at the time and that was my first ever experience in a F4 car and first time on the circuit (not the best combo)! So i was out and about in the 15min Practice Session trying to get better coz i was clearly the slowest there not ashamed to admit that, and when i get back my dad tells me that Mahaveer took my Driver Pass which has my photo and such on it and tried to get into the Pitlane!!!! I was fined 2500$ for that btw!
