3:23 "just lets keep calm"
*burning dude flails around*
Hahahah
Lol XD
It looked like something out of comedy about racing
Man I laughed so hard xDDDDDD lol
YYY
0:53 Mercedes coming in with no wheel, Kubica leaving, Sutil smashing. I love this sport
He probably got distracted by the missing wheel car.
Yeah me too
I think he had a puncture
Used to be great :)
wait what OH
Parents: Why did you fail your exams?
Me: A major mal-misorganization problem
Just read this after leaving my own comment! LMFAO!
final exams this week, watching this instead of studying... A major mal-misorganization problem
I'm dead 😂
2:46 is the best
😂😂😂😂
3:24 A perfect example of Murray's commentary "Let's keep calm" as a man is on fire on the screen.
I saw it happen live - one thing to bear in mind is that this was just a couple of months after Senna and Ratzenberger were killed, and no-one wanted anything remotely similar to happen again.
😂
@@AshleyPomeroy I’m a new f1 fan but from tons of yt vids, and podcasts explaining it, 1994 was a terrible season in terms of handling and tragedy
"Oh my, goodness me" as Jos Verstappen literally goes up in flames
I love this guy. Seems to be a lovely bloke. Too bad he passed away
Look at 2:15 the mechanic on the right right is already reaching for his extinguisher before the first flames even appear. Excellent reflexes.
Horrible aim tho
That's literally his job, he has to be ready with a fire extinguisher if anything were to happen
He saw fuel leaking and knew what was coming
The guys on the back of the car actually reached before him and probably warned that it eas happening
How did you catch that?! lol
0:52 Rosberg casually rolling past without a right rear tyre 😂🤣👌
lol i had to rewind that a couple of times, rubbing my eyes :)
its a bug
Grande Rosberg
I love that Toro Rosso pitcrew just trying to get his mates attention.
@@TheSingular5 wat
Jos verstappen looks like a spitting image of his son Max. I actually thought it was max for a split second, but max wasnt even born yet
You mean, Max looks like a spitting image of his father Jos 😂
@@akashdas3174 no
@@flubber788 very well, have a nice day. 🙌🏼
@@akashdas3174 dont worry, I will
when you listen to Jos in 1994 he sounds like Max as well XD - but we all were younger once XD
As a newer F1 fan I’ve always wondered why they banned mid race refueling…I think I understand the reasoning now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Joke aside I think they banned the Fuel on the pits because F1 will be Bankrupt if Keep using that Fuel
I heard it from a friend i think
It’s a hazard but a controllable hazard amongst other things that can happen in a pit lane.
fuel fire wasnt as regular as people like to believe
Any time they talk about rule changes in the name of “safety”, it’s really code for intentionally slowing the cars down so they don’t outgrow the tracks they run them on. How else could ancient circuits like Monza and Monaco remain on the F1 calendar for decades despite the huge advances in car design? Banning refueling was just another way to slow the cars down by forcing them to be more efficient.
1:55
Mansell: "Oh no my tire fell of!"
Haas drivers: "First time?"
Don’t forget rosberg! 0:53
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣
What about Raikkonen Austria 2020? It wasn't even bolted.
cinegraphics that tire had a mind of its own haha
2:15 gotta give huge credit to those mechanics, your guy catches on fire and in less than a second they are already spraying it off. What reflexes and what skill!
Look carefully at the guy on the rear of the car. He starts putting the fire out before it starts because he saw the leak first.
it's literally their only job
@@likmijnreet4542 great because he was freaking awesome at it!
Before he even left one mechanic was already spraying
@@jakewhitmore6046 yeah I presume they knew before he left that a fire would be possibility

Nice

3:21 people: *are literally on fire*
Narrator: "Just lets keep calm"
lol
Murray walker for ya
I think he was sarcastic and scared.
He knew what he was talking about though. when a fire happens like that, the best place to be is in the pit lane with guys on hand. scary but he knew it was under control
I remember when this happened - for context you have to bear in mind that it was only a couple of months after Ratzenberger and Senna had died, and the atmosphere was still tense.
0:59 Are we gonna ignore the fact that theres a guy casually driving in the pitlane with a TIRE MISSING?
Who is it lol
I think its Rosberg

Well I mean what would you do if you were on fire?
Tinyツ yeah but it’s a pretty shitty joke, it’s so bad I can’t tell if it’s a joke or not
@Tinyツ bro the joke is not flipping funny if u was on fire u would probably scream ahh and second thing is the guy wasn't saying ahh it was the car making the noise
@@RaldoBot FFS allow me to explain this to you. The point of the joke is that the guy panicking is a very reasonable reaction. The humour comes from the juxtaposition of the pit crew member panicking and the commentator acting like its no big deal. The man on fire isn't funny, the fact that the commentator doesn't seem to care is. It's really not that difficult to understand.
@@RaldoBot stop drop and roll?
'Raikkonen was waiting at the red light and Hamilton wasnt expecting it'

2:17 talk about being calm as fuck, balls of steel. So much confidence that his team will have it out in seconds.
It's their job, they must be ready all the time
The pits is the safest place to catch fire in
Plus if u know Eddie he doesn't give a fk
That is the best and also the hardest thing you can do. As long as people are around you: wait until they will put the flames out. The first reflex is to run away, but then people can´t help you and you can made even things worse when you lit other things and people if you driving uncontrolled through the pit lane.
I'm not so sure. He unbuckled himself in record time there. He was already climbing out before the fire extinguishers had stopped spraying.
3:41 Some parts of my brain says it is Max Verstappen.. Some parts declining it..
It's so confusing. Of course they're father and son but still, looking alike to this extend amazes me
@@polostone8876 in 1994 jos was 22 years old. Max is 21 now
indeed, this is unsettling.
@@aslamnurfikri7640 The fact that Max can now be considered as a F1 veteran despite only being 21 is a bit unsettling...
That's right, very impressive!😀
2:20 he’s just sitting there like “this is fine”
@Pulzanicus pulzanic they have a harness much like any racing car, but undoing a six point harness in the tight confines of an F1 car, especially under stress is time consuming and difficult.
@Pulzanicus pulzanic In the 90s safety standards were weaker but currently drivers are required to be able to leave the vehicle in under 7 seconds.
its crazy how much alike Max looks like Jos did
Yeah, can't deny Jos is his father, almost a clone... by the way, Jos, a very proud dad, i must say!! :)
Marcelo and quite the guy with a temper...
i think its more crazy how jos survived that fire without major burns. is it just me or did it look like his visor was open a bit?
@@broncobalboa He briefly opened his helmet, maybe take in a bit of fresh air (and some fuel fumes)
Max is a thunderbirds puppet, just like Noel Gallagher.
0:53 that mercedes passing by with a missing rear wheel is like "yea just don't ask" xD
"I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that."
equals
From Tooned Mclaren:
"I think you better take over. I just saw a car with no back wheel."
Nico: **Doesn't realize he has no Right rear tyre/tire**
Hammer Bro 19 I thought you were referencing the episode where Lewis is in the flying F1 future thing going past the plane and the pilot says
“I think I’ve just seen a flying bar of soap”
In the last one when the camera man picked the camera up and the shot was shakey and there was smoke, everyone was running around screaming and panicking, and the someone literally on fire walks onto the scene and someone puts him out. It just felt so cinematic. It almost felt like you were there on the ground with them.
"I wonder why F1 banned refueling at the pit stop"
*Car and pit crew catches on fire*
"why did they ban refuling?"
send someone that says that this video.
Then how do they have enough fuel to run the entire race? (I don't know much about F1)
@@thetechnoking they have a tank just large enough.
and its the job of the team to conserve the gas in order to finish(doesn´t always work)
@@Chriss120 but what if the tank explodes? With so much fuel there could be a chance since if they crash there could be fire or something
@@thetechnoking it may sound much gas but it really ist. it´s just about a larger car tank with around 100l capacity (~26 Gallon) and i do believe they have a special foam that lines the tank which prevents any unwanted fires.
I'm sure the 1977 South African GP didn't help matters.

Don’t Forget Ricciardo at Monaco 2016 and Minardi’s Pitstop for Esteban Tuero
Never forget! They were both super-close to being on our list...
@@Formula1 I'm quite thankful that I didn't had to feel the pain again, that I had while the Moncao pitstop of Ricciardo
Red Bull’s pit stop with Ricardo shocked me
Ricciardo's one was worse than Irvine's. 4 wheels off n__n
I was almost under the impression that he was raised with a car jack, and then the mechanics decided to go for lunch >__
Christopher Michael Tuero’s pit stop at Argentina ‘98 was so long that it’d probably take up an entire video.

Great commentary by Murray Walker. Still missing him lots.
I remember the Verstappen one clearly - Benetton tried cheating by removing the fuel filter so they can fuel Michael Schumacher quicker to gain an unfair advantage over Williams and the others, but then forgot that they had removed Verstappen's one as well and left the nozzle attached too long so it overflowed causing the explosion and inferno.
2:33 it sounded like he just got stabbed
A bit suspicious
😂
Murrey loved Coulthard
Murray body found.
Coulthard sus
That's not the sound a man makes when he gets stabbed...
2:16 One of the pit crew shoots his fire extinguisher from his hip almost immediately as the car catches fire.
That's literally his sole job during a pit stop. ruclips.net/video/pW7EUprcPSo/видео.html
Julian Direiter probably, his reactions are abnormally quick
@Julian Direiter Yes he does, like probably hundreds of times a day. The moment he sees fuel spit out, he will put his hand on the extinguisher
Big Fire Extinguisher is here
@Julian Direiter nah man , you think they practice for that? It's probably his first day on the job.
The insane thing about number 10 is that Räikkönen continued racing even though his eyes were burning! True iceman❄️
Fire can't melt the Iceman. 💪

@@Formula1 You mean "F1 fuel can't melt the Iceman."
@@ivan_pozdeev_u The courage and endurance of them should tho if you are too conserned about your health racing is not your thing.
@@georgejakob1451 Doing risky activities (which I do, I'm an expert hiker) doesn't prevent one from being reasonable about it. I can very well imagine that Kimi considered his condition satisfactory and the potential risk to the health tolerable and as such, decided to keep going. The problem is, glorifying his act as unconditionally heroic gives a distorted message: "Here, that's how you should always do! Keep going even if it kills you!"
There is a small part of me that wishes we could still see these kind of moments in F1, it adds so much imo.

I was at that last race with Verstappen in Hockheim 94. We had VIP tickets so I was directly above the pit lane looking down on it. I was approx 10 meters behind the Verstappen box. One of the scariest things I witnessed. First and only time I had the chance to attend a race though I know that nothing can top this experience. And not because of the incident.

a.k.a. "Why Bringing Back Refueling is Not a Great Idea"
This exactly. Refueling has proven to be a case of many many many accidents. And if we can ban it, then it's perfectly fine to do so.

Hamilton really did a number on the Spanish 2007. The Spanish were so threatened by Hamilton, they extorded to racism in 2007 and/or 2008. But it brings me slight comfort that the Spanish and Alonso had to count on Hamilton's mistakes to even have a chance against him in his rookie season because on pure pace, Alonso was behind Hamilton.

Motorsports are dangerous! This video is untitled 10 most dramatic, we can NOT forget what happened to this guy, he shall have been there or this video shall not exist.
Those are all pitstops fails with no injured. With injured ones there are a lot of more dramatic ones such as alboreto imola 94, Nakajima's one (i think it was around 2010) and many more with mechanics ran over.
