About the 1976 German GP, Lauda actually tried to arrange the boycott way earlier in the championship and tried to persuade teams and FISA to change it to a much suitable location. Many people think he boycotted it during the race weekend but this is a common misconception from Rush the movie.

I was so heated about Qatar 23. No pun intended. It was honestly frightening to see the drivers basically passing out in the high speed corners. Not to mention a marshal just watching Lance struggling to get out of his car and stand up. I think it was Lando that said a ton of drivers passed out afterwards. I recall a driver talking about losing a crazy amount of water weight during the race.

If a driver had fully lost consciousness someone could
have been seriously injured or killed. That entire situation was so negligent. The only driver chilling was Fernando b/c he experienced Bahrain 05.

Spooky F1 fact: both times an American has won the F1 world championship, their teammate has died in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza the day their Teammate won the championship

[nikis_lyrics]

It's actually insane how well this is made for a channel with this few content and subscribers. The combination of a slow calm voice, an interesting topic and images + music used is remarkable. Well done and I wish you massive success for the future.

I know the 1977 S.African GP is the most graphic incident, but, to me, the most tragic one is the 1973 Dutch GP. The fact that his friend was there trying so hard, only to be ignored by everyone is heart wrenching, plus, the body being simply covered with a blanket while the race continued is simply inhuman.
But all in all thanks for the video, the most recent events mentioned (recent - last 3 to 4 decades) are extremely interesting.

[stellaa]

actually shocked when you said only 85 subs!! this is a really good video and i cannottt believe the commitment of research

[adihanany]

This video is really well made and super entertaining, I’m really happy it popped up in my recommended! I hope your channel blows up soon and you get the subs you deserve!

[duffey]

It’s unbelievable how many of these older races proceeded after horrific accidents. Maybe the culture is different now, but that’s one of the most disrespectful things i’ve ever heard of

[ihathtelekinesis]

The only controversy about Belgium 2009 that I can think of is that Raikkonen went wide at the exit of La Source at the start and made up a whole bunch of places. That led to more awareness of gaining an advantage by taking a longer route, as until then all the focus had been on gaining advantages by cutting a corner.

Jenson Button was very lucky that he won in Malaysia in 2009. His car’s electronics were so badly damaged by the rain, if the race had ever restarted, his car would never have gotten going.

As a lifelong NASCAR fan who’s new to Formula 1, Ayrton Senna reminds me of Dale Earnhardt. Like Senna, he’s considered one of the goats and was a very aggressive driver.

He also won the race that was held on the day that Senna died and offered his condolences in victory lane.

In a tragic coincidence, seven years after Senna’s death, Earnhardt was himself killed instantly due to a severe head injury after his car crashed into the outer barrier at turn 4 of the Daytona International Speedway. Like Senna, Earnhardt’s death is credited with finally forcing NASCAR to start improving its driver safety standards. Unfortunately, the HANS device itself wouldn’t be mandated in NASCAR until October of 2001, when a lower-division driver named Blaise Alexander died in a head-on crash.

I already answered you on Reddit but I think it's worth answering here too: this is a great video, you did a great job summarizing all the topics so completely! Regarding the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix, the controversy arose because the truth about crashgate was revealed by Brazilian journalist Reginaldo Leme during the broadcast of the race in Brazil. This was the first time that the truth about the matter came to light, and Leme was even speaking on the phone with Nelson Piquet (Nelsinho Piquet's father) about the matter during the broadcast.

[issywilly]

you should keep going with the f1 content, such a well produced video! can’t believe you don’t have more views on this ‼️

[ixxues]

dude hearing you say you had 80 subs and then scrolling down to see 4.3k 5 months later is rad. happy for you man, this was a great video :)

[Laura-fddm]

you randomly came up on my homepage and as a huge F1 fan I thought I'd check you out. I was shocked to see that you didn't have more subscribers! You have such a calming yet engaging presence. Honestly, I could listen to you recap random events for ages!

[graceharrell]

Honestly I think Lauda should have been in charge of the FIA. He seemed to care a lot about his peers and their safety

[HelloIAmJo]

Great work on TONS of research. Thanks for keeping me company while I put together sewing patterns!

The whole reason the 2005 USGP debacle happened is (a) Indianapolis Motor Speedway had been repaved and diamond ground over the off-season, creating physical grooves in the track surface, (b) Michelin didn't take part in the FIA tire test, and (c) Bridgestone own IndyCar tire suppliers Firestone, and used data from the IndyCar sessions throughout the Month of May, combined with the data from the FIA tire test.

Also, the HANS device wasn't mandatory in F1 until 2004.

My favorite part of the Dallas Grand Prix is the story of Senna's crash. He had been surgically precise with his lines throughout the race (or maybe it was practice or qualifying), and when he got back to the pits after his crash, he claimed that the wall jumped out and hit him. His team checked, and sure enough, the wall had moved.

[GarfieldRex]

A FIA jewel from 2004 US GP, Montoya had a car failure just before beginning the race, all cars were already lined up. At the time teams had a spare car, so Montoya jumped out of the car and went to the garage to get the spare car and start the race from the pitlane. However, after 57 laps, stewards told Montoya he was disqualified because he got onto the spare car a few seconds late.... Wtf. He was furious.
