You forgot to explain why the Dutch national anthem plays at each podium ceremony

[kraftwels]

i just clicked on this cause i'm starved for F1 content. I didn't expect to actually learn anything new, but there were some fun facts i really didn't know about.
Pretty cool

MONACO EXCEPTION: Due to the twisty and slow nature of the circuit, the Monaco Grand Prix does not adhere to the 305 km rule. It runs for 260 km, or 78 laps.

[Rolodzeo]

This is a bit oversimplified though: What's a pitstop? What are track limits? What is parc fermé? Why are two cars per team? Why are different tyres? Why are some races at night? Etc...

U forgot about Pitstop. Tyre classification.

[bonzo]

bro doesn't tell anything about what q1, q2 and q3 is or pitstops but tells everything about every flag for 5 minutes straight

12:10 For safety car restarts, a car may not overtake until they reach the control line, not safety car line 1. See 55.8 of the sporting regs. Been this way since 2019.

Well done F1 for getting 10 million subscribers! 🎉

Why do we need to know that the F1 Grid has some of the biggest celebrities, actors, sports stars, musicians, and special guests?

[fahlmancomputing]

The narrator for this video killed it, I'm totally psyched after watching a rules video!

[giogio]

From casual watcher to junior F1 enthusiast in one comprehensive guide! 👍
The CTRL+ALT+DEL reference made me giggle.

[YummyLADanish]

This is the best, most concise explanation I've seen yet. THANK YOU!

[gustavocavalcanti]

The REAL cause of the end of green light start grand Prix was the light cell on the front wing of Benetton that almost moved the car by itself despite the driver's time of reaction.

[wildsnivy]

Nice tutorial! Though one notable exception to the 305 km distance is Monaco, which is fixed at 260 km (78 laps)

[-STONECYPHER-]

Huh. I didn't expect to learn anything new from this apart from how the sprints were going to work this year. But that bit about why they just use red lights was interesting.

[neddy]

That what I had in mind a few years back about the safety car leaving the the track and using the white line start/finish for resuming the race than jumping the gun on corners as it makes a more fair racing than cheating

[jomahawk]

I only just got into F1, so I’m very grateful for these well put together videos for newbies!
Also, been enjoying F1 23 on my PS5

[wwesuperstar]

[ahammed]
