Frank Williams’ face when the third car qualified with the same time 🥺 he loved racing so much.

buemi still tries to steer with no tyres, instinct is a beautifull thing

The person who still has that diamond and watching the video like: "Yes, it's a shame they never found it 😏"

The most unusual moment is when Michael Schumacher drove like 4 kilometers back to the pit lane on rainy 1998 Belgian GP with three wheels only

[Reidror]

"It is light out and away we go for Lewis Hamilton only!" Gets me every time 😂

[LesVoituresOntLaParole]

Europe 1997 quali was incredible, 3 drivers getting exactly the same time is really unusual

[derrickfarrar]

"Wasn't this one built so that the front wouldn't fall off?"
"Obviously not."
"How do you know?"
"Because the front fell off!"

The smile on Michael's face when he realised the time was identical 😁

[SaturnianDragon]

Lewis: Bono my tires are gone
Buemi: First time?

[Ikcatcher]

The most unusual moment in recent memory is the rain filled Belgian GP, 4 hours of absolutely nothing happening

[ammarisrar]

Seeing Schumy make those hand signs just brought a huge smile onto my face it just shows how much smarts the guy has

[erdem]

Senna setting the fastest lap in the pit lane..
Schumacher winning Silverstone GP in the pit lane..
We need more pit lane racing for sure!!

7:56 I love how Micheal just danced his way to the flag. You gotta love that.

[TheIndogamer]

Hamilton's one man grid was a literal definition of "We Race as One"

[Ryuryumi]

its so nice to see a relationship like schumacher and barrichello

[paulmckinstry]

For me, the most bizarre aspect of Austria 2002 was that the FIA then fined Ferrari, Schumacher & Barrichello for not following the correct podium protocol.

[vyasponnuri]

Buemi still tried to steer even after the wheels came off.... that is one of the craziest moments in F1

[hultii]

Last year was the first time I ever went to see a F1 Race, went to the Hungaroring, with a reputation of some boring races, ohh man did I get my moneys worth ! That was one exciting race to see !

[AugmentedGravity]

The fact that 3 drivers from 2 different teams managed to set the EXACT same quali time in the same quali session is just universally implausible. Absolutely amazing.

[KeirThomas]

How about Hans Heyer failing to qualify for the 1977 German GP, but sneaking out of the pits and starting the race illegally for his one and only GP start? Only driver to ever DNQ, DNF and DSQ in the same race!
