10 times title-winning F1 teams dropped the ball 

Watching the intro after the first two races of the 2022 season is priceless!

This whole list could just be Ferrari

Look on the bright side, you are now 11 minutes closer to the end of Mercedes dominance

Can you imagine the FIA bringing back that awful “no tire changes” rule to nerf Mercedes. “Bono, my tires really are gone this time”

Lance Stroll - 2025 World Champion as a Toto Wolf-led Aston Martin end an 11-year Mercedes domination in their first year without Lewis Hamilton

10.rule change (refuel) 9.rule change (electronics) 8.rule change (engine/aero) 7.rule change (tyres) 6.rule change (tyres/aero) 5.rule change (tyres) and screw up 1.rule change (aero) i'm starting to see a pattern,

The 2012 Mclaren, it was a beast but reliability destroyed any chances of the title fight

Latifi looks like the type of guy to bring 18 people to his house so that he can watch a 18+ movie.

0:31 I'll come back when that happens Edit: I'm back baby, thanks to Will for reminding me. Now let's hope for an exciting title fight

Guys, I traveled back in time from the future, just to say that the "updated version of the video" has never come. Mercedes had created a clone of Lewis Hamilton an the team is still dominant in the year 2077

0:26 I'm from 2050.. still waiting for that day to happen.

Williams' catalogue of errors in the late '90s is mind-boggling, then there's McLaren in the early 2010s.

2007: ferrari and mclaren drop not only the ball but their Car drawings ;)

Bahrain 🇧🇭 2020, Mercedes George Russell/Botas pit stop 😬

Here I am, March 2022 man, seems we're finally seeing Mercedes getting a run for their money, at least a bit... Let's hope it keeps being this interesting, and red as well, haven't seen red in front in a long time 🙂

To put Ferrari's 1980 failure into perspective: Damon Hill in an Arrows had a better title defence season than Scheckter did in the team that won him the title in the year before.

*Watching this video after 2021* You know, I think the same thing happening to Mercedes that happened to McLaren/Ferrari in 2009 and Red Bull in 2014. With the new rules coming this year I bet it's going to be Hass clinching the title, they abandoned the 21 car and focused on the 22 car.... You do the math

Last time I was this early Ferrari were quicker than the mercs

I’m also from the future. Luca Badoer made a 3rd comeback. Minardi rebought Alpha Tauri from Red Bull, and their second year back they finally won the championship. 2041 will be a crazy year. Now George Russel holds the record with most starts and no points. 81 starts. 12 with Mercedes.

It's 2022 and you should really update this to reflect the almost screw up from RB last year and the screw up of Mercedes with regards to porpoising

You should have included McLaren 2013. Sure, they didn't win either Championship that year but they arguably had the fastest car on the grid when reliability and team blunders didn't cost them. Since then, they haven't won, have only had 4 podiums (3 of which came in the last 12 months), and haven't been any higher than 4th in the Constructors since.

McLaren 2013. Lost Hamilton, tried pullrod suspension (which was awful) and had 2 drivers that didn't particularly like each other.

I'm genuinely surprised it wasnt 10 minutes and 58 seconds of pure Ferrari.

Watching the '94 segment hurt me to my soul knowing what happened to Ayrton the GOAT that year...

"Mercedes being toppled" and other jokes we can tell ourselves

watching this after 3 races of merc falling behind with problematic aero, red bull having spotty engine reliability, ferrari being almost faultless and the rest of the field mixing up every race - 2022 is gonna be quite the season!

wow! here we are in 2022 looking at how the greats have fallen!

I'm here from the future to let you know that its 3020 and Mercedes have won their 1007th consecutive title and hamilton passed away as a 27 times world champion.

Here now in 2022 where Verstappen is a F1 champion and Leclerc currently leads the championship after 3 races

Every year redbull seems to work on their current car for too long and not swap attention to next year

Here is a little stat to add to the 2009 turn around McLaren managed. In the second half of the season, Hamilton scored the most points!

I'm from the future and Mercedes is no longer the dominant team. What happened? Regs changes resulting is massive porpoising for some teams due to ground effect being re-introduced. Their engine also sucks. Could you imagine someone from 2020 reading this? What a weird feeling it would have been.

Benetton 1996. After securing 11 wins in 17 races, securing both titles in 1995, and losing star driver Michael Schumacher in the off season, Benetton suddenly found themselves winless and third in the championship behind both dominant championship winners Williams and Schumacher's new team Ferrari

I came from the year 2145, Mercedes is still winning

I think it’s time for an updated version😂😂

Something tells me they need to release an updated version of this video

Love the content keep it up!!

It's 2030 here, and the Haas domination is just too strong - their aero is unmatched and the Citroën engines are just too powerful. Kvyat won the championship for them last year, but they fired him after he smashed the door too hard, so the current lineup is Mika Hakkinen (who finally came back from his sabbatical) and Jimmy Broadbent.

Excellent video, thanks!

I love these videos thanks so much for your efforts top notch

I’m from 2022, bottas went to alpha Romeo, Russel went to Mercedes, and outqualified Lewis by 10 grid places in the second race. Merc is having a terrible year. Happy to bring the message, as i am a red bull and Ferrari fan:)

"please let us know how it happened" porpoising

i know for a fact that red bull will try everything they can to stay in f1.

In year 2030 Eddie Jordan bring back Buzzin’ Hornets and they *turn all tables*

Love the content 👍

Oh boy this intro aged well

The issue in 1984 wasn't with Brabham, but with BMW, which, for some unexplainable reason, after more than 3 years In F1, and after a successful year winning the championship, managed to drop the ball and become totally unreliable. In a year McLaren had intense fighting between its two drivers, and considering the number of poles Piquet scored, Brabham BMW missed out on the chance for a back to back championship. Ironically, two years later, McLaren did just that, winning its back to back championship with Prost against Piquet, Mansell, and Williams.

11. Aarava Archer racing

Made this one week too soon...

It’s the year 2022 Mercedes and haas are fighting right now

You need to release an updated version. LOL

Mercedes were toppled in 2027 when the Williams family brought back Williams F1 from Dorrilton and put back in the car the great Robert Kubica alongside Dan Ticktum. The sheer meme power toppled the great Mercedes Duo of Lance Stroll and Kevin Magnussen

It seems interesting to me how the 2009 McLaren and Ferrari scenario might repeat. Imagine if RedBull brings their A-game in 2021 to fight Mercedes for the Championship and both teams are stuck in a title fight to the very end of that season. With budget cap they won't have enough resources to develop both 2021 and 2022 cars simultaneously, which will obviously affect their new regulations-spec car. Therefore, there is a chance for an other, better prepered title contender team. Normally I would say that Toto would not let that happen, beastmode boss he is, but since he is said to be on a verge of leaving his current post, who knows? RedBull is not to sign off as a next year's contender either, they keep developing their 2020 car to better undestand the 2021 project, which is virtually the same car. so who knows? You heard it here first. Love to you all!

Mercedes is a mid field team!!! They completely missed on the new regulations!! Lost in 2021 to Red Bull and now can’t do better than 6th if everyone finished the race.

I am from the future. Mercedes has left F1 having won all of the rest of the titles until their departure. Now if you will excuse me I need to find some plutonium for my Delorean.

Worth it just for the Patrick head words of wisdom

Hopefully, Mercedes in 2022

I’m from the future. The only words I have are Mercedes 2022

Watching this after the 2022 imola grand prix were now living in that intro

It's 2023 and Mercedes only managed 1 win since the 2021 Abu Dhabi title decider and currently has fewer podium finishes than Fernando Alonso. The only silver lining is they always score points in the races they finish, keeping them ahead of Aston Martin and Ferrari. Meanwhile, Red Bull is now dominating as harder than they have before with Max having a decent chance to beat Vettel's win streak record and Red Bull already equaling McLaren's win streak record.

Totally missed Lotus. People dont realize how good they were in the 60s an 70s

Nice vid

Scott Mitchell and The Race are the buzzfeed of Formula 1 news

2022 Season. Implemented New Car Designs. Mercedes’ first race was a flop, and Hamilton lucked into third due to Redbull having problems with both cars in the closing stage. A new era?

“HaMiLtOn AlWaYs HaS tHe BeSt CaR” *2009 has entered the chat*

2022 looks like it could finally be the year!

I just love me some Michael Schumacher footage.

Recommended to me after merc cocked up Russell's race

It’s 2024 and McLaren is back on top btw. The merc engine plus the McLarens banging chassis made it. Ricciardo is top of the drivers and Mercedes are second

Nice video. I agree with 2009. Have you tought of my offer by the way?

Time for an updated version

This video needs to be updated!

Not sure on the F2005-GA, that car appeared to be a rocket ship but there was something odd going on with the tyres. Either slow and just lasted the race or mega speed but might fail.

Posted 1 week after 2022 Miami GP: Mercedes’ can now absolutely be put on this list 😂

Well, two races into 2022... Merc seem to have finally dropped the ball

watching this after verstappen lapped hamilton in imola 2022

Brabham 1982, Benetton 1996, Lotus in 1979. Worst title defence was Alberto Ascari who dominated both 1952, 1953 and failing to score a point in 1954. this was quoted by Clive James on the 1984 review when talking about Nelson Piquet. Also ferrari finished 3rd and 4th in Monaco 2009. i know not where there supposed to be but people forget.

I've never seen a car with "Parmalat" on it in a good video

The Redbull are favorites in 2021

Fan from 2028 here! Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton left the sport after they both got 15 championships. Mercedes said they wanted to move away from fossil fuel and Lewis just said he needed a break. Hopefully we'll see him back, but still 15 championships is insane

With the new technical directives looming in 2022 with the return of ground effect and F1 engineers/designers typically looking forward towards the next big innovation, what lessons can they learn from the previous era of ground effect cars if any or are the cars too different...? Would love an analysis on what's to be expected from the 2022 cars and how it should compare to the old ones!

This video aged well

McLaren 1992. The writing was on the wall in '91, both championships were close. But for Mansell to wrap up WDC with five races to go and needing a second place tells a lot. Yes, the FW14B was out of this world but the difference between it and MP4-7 was huge.

Ferrari 1954, 1959 1980 and 2005, Renault 2007 , Williams 1994 and 1998, Red Bull 2014 or Lotus 1966

Checking in during the 2021 season just after Austria V1, Mercedes dropping the ball hard this year lol.

welp, we're walking into 2022 with a Mercedes that lacks sidepods, and if they're struggling with problems as badly as they say they are, we could be looking at present day Mercedes being added to this list.

I can't see it ending so dramatically. With the resources they have. But maybe a closer title fight in the next couple of years. Won by redbull or mclaren or even ferrari would be great to see.

After this weekend probably 2022!

Well the intro to this video aged well 😂

- Cooper in 1961, from being dominant with their mid-engined cars in 1960 (Jack Brabham champion again and winning five races in a row) to no victory at all and only one podium with the new engine regulations (from 2.5 l to 1,5 l) and Ferrari finally adopting a mid-engined car - Lotus in 1979, so dominant with the beautiful 79, but failing with the 80 car whereas other teams like Ligier then Williams used the ground effect in a better way.

Lotus 1979 After mastering ground effect with the 78 and 79 they went all out with the extreme Lotus 80. It was simply undrivable and even destroyed its own chassis due to excess downforce. Carlos Reutemann refused to drive it and eventually Mario Andretti gave up on the car as well. Lotus played catch up ever since that season and never won a title again.

when you are really from the future (although just ~1 year after most comments) and most predictions have failed just 1 year in :D :D

New entry at #1: Mercedes-AMG. After 8 long successful seasons for the Brackley-based team winning 8 constructors' championships and 8 driver's championships, Mercedes found itself in a state of total disaster after bringing out what seemed to be an intimidating design with a philosophy very different from the other 9 teams on the grid.

00:12 ya that aged well😀😅

2022 demands a edit !

Watching in the future is fun: -"When Mercedes' current F1 dominance will end" -Wait a minute, what dominance?! xD

The W01 was just in primer. Silver paint was on backorder.

Some more options: mclaren 1987, Mclaren 1992, Benetton 1996, tyrrell 1974, Lotus 1979. Good list though

The '94 Williams was so beautiful

It's interesting to see the parallels between McLaren/Ferrari in 2008/2009 with Mercedes/Red Bull in 2021/2022. Competitive title fight directly before a major rule change leaves the prior title challengers on the back foot. However, it seems that the Red Bull's and Mercedes' issues this year are relatively fixable (Mercedes needing to solve their aero issues and Red Bull needing to make their engines from something other than glass), unlike the fundamental issues that hampered McLaren and Ferrari in 2009.
