two things that are missing in modern F1: competitive ferrari and brazilians

[pluscabbage]

Ricciardo not smiling is the most horror thing ever seen

[IdentiteettiWarkaus]

Emotional on podium
Kimi Räikkönen: 😐

[jimlong]

Imagine racing Schumacher an hour after his mother died. Christ...

[sanadedixeptar]

Ricciardo s radio message was one of the dreadful ones. "nothing you say is gonna make it any better. Just save it."

[quizmaster]

Senna's selfless gesture towards Prost at his last race - despite their rivalry, *THAT* was true, pure sportsmanship.

[raidkoast]

Worst case for Ricardo at Monte Carlo is that It's not even his fault. Shows how important proper communication is.

[callumcjham]

See that Barichello thumbnail.

Me - Got to be at least top 3.

[ConfusedOxygen]

Charles win was underrated. Your best friend dies a few hours before the race but you go ahead, win the race, and dedicate the win to him. Great guy

[RepublicOfBridger]

2020 Monza, Gasly sitting alone on the podium with confetti cascading down and his head in his hands is the most emotional moment for me in all of F1

[caincha]

5:35 - it was overlooked that Charles' father passed 4 days before his win at F2 in 2017 and his godfather was Jules Bianchi. So yeah poor lad is no strange to tragedy in his personal life...

[Nickthegamer]

Senna’s Brazilian Grand Prix win team radio will always give me goosebumps when I hear it

[FllnThBlanks]

Gasly's screams are still fresh in my head.

[TheMaroth]

Rubens staying on Drys while wet is track for his very first victory as the first Brazilian after Senna will never be not make my cry.

[DonisGP]

That Senna victory will always be my favorite. Senna worked so hard and finally achieved it on home territory. Not even rain or a messed up gearbox could stop him. The extra push of power after being so drained to get the trophy up was so awesome. His radio clip after the win of him screaming in joy and excitment gets me emotional everytime. Senna was an all-around amazing guy. His actions and character speak volumes. He is missed so much.

[McPlayert]

The Perez win still gives me goosebumps. Such an incredible moment, against all the odds.

[ashmillermotorsport]

Massa's heartbreak still resonates as one of the most tearjerking moments of modern F1; the humility he showed that afternoon after doing everything he possibly could still leaves a lump in the throat

[mabuffon]

I think Rubens Barrichello deserves a Top 10 moments of brilliance!

[eugeneo]

The most emotional moment was when Michael burst in tears when he found out he scored same wins than Senna. Nothing compares to that.
