@@mennofennema9829 it's not the same when you're in a race, accidents happen and when you're fighting for a championship ofc you're not gonna let your rival pass by. Im not saying it was right but it's understandable
@@mennofennema9829 In the mirror you see one every day I'm sure. The stupidity of many Dutch fans goes a long way. Yea, let's not talk about Monza, or again Monza (in the biginning of the race), or Imola, or Spain. We can go all the way back to Baku and before with him moving in the brake zone, something he hasn't learned not to do up until today. Not even talking about the fact that Verstappen really hurt himself at Silverstone by not giving space. If there's one guy who might cause someone to have an accident, including himself, it's Max. Because it's not like he sees the error in what he does.
we love this sport but sometimes we just forget how dangerous it is and cheer when someone crashes because of how it can alter a championship and make things exiting - not considering that there is a person experiencing all of this inside the car. rest peacefully, Anthoine
@@HotCacahuete This isn't really F2 cars being more dangerous, it's about the same speeds up raidillon. It's just about which part of the car is hit. If the same crash happened in F1, it would have the same consequences.
@@HotCacahuete That was over 10 years ago and that car is much less safe than current f1 and f2 cars. Look at verstappen at silverstone this year. There was no secondary impact, just straight into the wall, and his car was absolutely destroyed. That's without another car ramming straight into his sidepod at over 260kph.
You can see it in his face that Lewis knew that was a deadly crash. Its an incredibly hard thing to see something like that happen and then be told to go out and race around the same corners at higher speeds. The same with Grosjeans crash, they all watched a fellow racer go up in flames and were then told to push it out of mind and go race. I cant imagine the mental strength it takes to do that
With Grosjean case he did maneuver to the right and didnt watch out for Kvyat driving in the right back side of him and so he crashed on Kvyat that caused drive straight to wall. Grosjean still didnt die, but that show you should not make dangerous manuevers to right side, if you cant watch out for all the drivers behind of you.
@@Jout8-re1ijYour comment is pointless...He highlights how the drivers are told to go race and they do it, after having just witnessed a bad crash with a fatality and one which could have been one . He is talking about mental strength. Why do you need to point out how the crash happened? we already knew.
@hipotenuza5663 he has incredible mental strength. His dad died the day before an f2 race. Charles got in the car anyway, fell to last place on lap 1 and fought back through to win. I will always have an incredible amount of respect for him regardless of how successful he is in F1
You can see on lewis‘ expressions that he knew it was fatal but he hoped for the best…. He‘s got enough experience to know that what he just witnessed was a sports defying crash
Its really scary, how Lewis immediately knew, this crash was not just a "normal" crash, but beyond "normal". He looked instantly in the screen an searched for any other reaction to check his own uncomfortable feeling.
I was in Belgium watching the race, and I will never forget the screams of horror when we saw it happen, followed by the most painful silence I have ever experienced. Still gives me chills..
If you haven't been to a race, it's hard to explain that there's always a hum of activity. Even after a crash. When it gets quiet, you start to worry. If it stays quiet, you just kind of know.
@@liamh3710 I was too young to understand what happened (i was 10). But i always remember the next morning when my dad told me that Senna is dead. They didnt talk much about it the day it happened.
The screens only showed it once. We were standing at the bottom of Eau Rouge, watching 6 ambulances drive up the hill. It's hard to describe that feeling of knowing something terrible happened, without really knowing what happened. All the joy sucked out in the span of a few seconds.
It's actually fairly scary on its own just seeing Hamilton who has so many years of racing and seeing accidents being stunned and locked in place. He knew the second he saw it.
Hamilton's reaction to this sort of reminds me of Senna's reaction when he aw Roland Ratzenberger hit the wall in Imola '94. They have a mental map of the circuit so they know exactly how serious it is depending on how and where the accident happens.
I was there, walking back to the parking after F1 qualifying to go home when I heard the crash and saw the yellow flags. Most fans saw the crash happen because the F1 qualifying was only 5 minutes done. Really sad to hear that Anthoine passed away, RIP you were really talented! Hopefully Juan Manuel Correa can recover and get into an F1 car in the future and honor him!
@@trnskot3357you can see it in his face. He’s properly shaken by it & someone like Lewis who has been round the block so many times won’t be easily shaken - he obviously says “I hope he’s ok” because there’s a camera in his face so he’s hardly going to go “well he’s dead”- his face tells another story
Still sends a million shivers through my spine. These guys race with their life. Many great drivers and legends left our world too early. But forever in our hearts
I‘m in racing for over 30 years now. Raced myself, worked for teams, was marshalla or just a fan… i saw some deadly accidents in those years.. everytime it gets so silent around the track… its such a hard hitting silence… everybody just knows how bad it is, and sometimes you even know the outcome of it.. but nobody wants to belive it. This silence is really… it.. idk it really really stucks with you.
my respect to you! i´m racing too since now 10 years.. the sport is great, but when ur in pits and immediately stopping the engine sounds... is a bad feeling. then ur seeing the red flags and you know what happend and hopes the best to the drivers
@@rizkys101as a marshall you don‘t get paid, you get something to eat and of course you are very very close to the racing. Most of them doing it, just because they love racing.
We all had a glimpse of what it was like for a few minutes with Grosjean's accident in Bahrain, can't imagine how it would have felt not seeing him step out of the car
I was there that weekend on the opposite end of the track and I remember hearing the gasps before I had any idea that there was a crash. There was a strange calm in the stands because word traveled fast that this wasn’t good. Rip Hubert. I will never forget that day.
A friend of mine was there and he called me when he heard the ambulance and we both knew it was not good. You never expect a racer to die in a crash because it’s so rare and you just hope that it’s just a bad shunt. He was sitting above the pit lane and it was deathly quiet compared to what a junior racing crowd is like…
I was watching it live when the crash happened. I’ve seen a fair few crashes, some look dramatic but you know the driver is most likely unharmed. Others shock you and you hope/prey they’re ok. This one I just felt cold. Like physically cold. Rest in Piece Anthoine.
Yes, I was watching the race on TV and instantly had this sinking feeling that something horrible happened. When watching this accident, I already had a sense of horrible consequences. It's hard to shake it off, I still remember it well, i was browsing all media for updates how the drivers were... Seeing death on screen is a traumatic experience.
@@madc2004 oh. I know Dan Wheldon was unfortunate as well. It so different when his last words on team radio before the race was "this is the way to go out"
I was at the busstop chicane that year watchig the race. It is such a weird feeling knowing you saw him driving and half a minute later that crash happens
watching any crash is insane enough, but this one is another level. rest in peace antoine, may he be remembered not for the fatal crash but for his life and memory.
Oh my goodness. I can't believe I was there. I sat at the bottom of Eau Rouge and had approximately the same reaction as those guys, just couldn't believe it. It looked terrible, unlike any crash. You just instantly knew something was wrong. At first there was the thrill of a crash, but then silence just fell over the track. Everyone knew it wasn't a normal crash.
I remember the Top Gear interview where Clarkson quoted Lewis "If I am to die on a race track then so be it" or something like that. It amazes me how fearless these race drivers are. It takes a very brave and skilled person to become a race driver of any kind. RIP
@@alliancekeepers tbf if they lived in fear of dying, they wouldn’t do it. They all know that every time they step in the car, their life is on the line. But it’s about self trust, the most unfortunate thing about the Antoine incident was it was unavoidable for both drivers. Radillion is blind for the drivers coming up the hill, so Correa had no chance. It was a freak incident on one of the most dangerous corners and frightening corners on the F1 calendar
in other angles u can see that hubert react really fast to avoid a crash (done everything right!) ... he crashed himself to barrier ... and then he got T-Boned by Correa ... RIP :(
@@b00sta23 yeah it wasn't. It litterally wasn't anybody's fault, hubert bounced in the middle of the track, did you even look at the dynamic of the incident?
I remember it was one of the first times I ever watched F2. That was a weird, sad weekend for motorsport. I hope the kid has a good time racing the guys from the past, wherever they are in the sky. Rest in peace Anthoine ❤️
The Lewis footage DTS used that was filmed by another broadcaster. It was shared widely after the accident on social media. The stuff with Alex's family was DTS.
Reminds me of Darrell Waltrip when he went from being happy his brother Michael finally won a Cup race to absolute fear saying "I hope Dale's (Earnhardt Sr) OK."
@@unitedrail-mainchannel8991 it's a high speed blind run with multiple minor corrections, so if you go off your car is probably off balance and will spin back out onto the track, then any following drivers won't see you on track until the very last second. Seb only just avoided collecting Lando at the exact same point the next year
On lap 2 of 25, on 31st August 2019, exiting Eau Rouge and Radillion, Giuliano Alesi, lost control and hit the barrier, Anthoine Hubert hit the tyre barrier, and Juan Manuel Correa, who's got a puncture, hit the right side of Hubert's car. Hubert died in the hospital.
@@jeskelacivezenk7969 He was unconscious but alive for an hour and 20 minutes. Correa was conscious. While Correa was stabilized and transported to the hospital, Hubert died before that in the circuit medical center.
why is the comment section so disgusting? this has nothing to do with Lewis but y'all still do everyhting to hate on him. over the smallest things! obsession is a mental illness.
Unfortunately it’s the nature of a lot of people. Not so long ago, people called Seb Vettel all sorts of names claiming it was all down to the dominance of Red Bull as to why he won multiple back to back titles (people got bored with the same person winning all the time)- now people are saying what a lovely guy he is now he’s retiring (he always was a nice guy). Now Lewis Hamilton is in the firing line with the casual & extreme fans for the same reasons (dominant car and people bored with him winning) - might surprise some but he’s also a nice guy (I’ve met him twice and he’s an absolute gent). Give it a few more years and guess what, the same idiot fans will turn on Max Verstappen once he has won several WDC’s for the same reasons as Seb, Lewis and Michael Schumacher before them. True F1 fans know the best drivers drive the best cars and no one wins a WDC without being supremely talented.
I remember walking through the tunnel at the bottom of Eau Rouge after F1's Q3 and the crowd just withered silent. On Sunday the crowd was remorseful and yet, knowing he was a racing driver, cheered and chanted to keep spirit. Leclerc winning was like the wake of a funeral in some ways. Everyone wanted him to be on the top step given their relationship. Also, there was an incredible response by the Circuit to create donation and dedication points for Anthoine on Sunday so people could express their condolences. It was a sombre affair, but with sporting spirit.
Love it that people here talk shit about hamilton when a guy just died. Like show some respect instead of talking trash about another driver. He was of course shocked but that doesn't mean he needs to show al that. Grow up ffs
You’ve got to remember that these people are either kids, or grown ups with a low IQ and horrible social skills who won’t make it any far in life. It doesn’t justify it, but it at least does make it seem sensible
I was there that weekend sitting just before corner 6 and saw it happen. This was so scary and unreal. The accident, the silence, the whole atmosphere just changed immediately.. The tribute they had on Sunday was very emotional aswell
I remember this incident like yesterday, that must have been a painful death. Just a sheer thought of getting T-boned at 250 km/h sends shivers down my spine.
The cars get safer and safer, but we all have to remind ourselves that this is a very dangerous sport. Strangely thats why its so great. The dangerous races and situations; wheel to wheel racing, rain, Imola, Spa, Monza… those are the moments and races that grip our heart and make us feel the tingle on our backs that we love so much. The only reason we can watch this sport is because there are drivers who love it even more than we do. They ride the edge and let us take part. I am forever thankful for the moments of pure joy racing has given me RIP ANTHOINE and all others who died racing
You can tell he did. He was in the middle of answering a question and totally shifted his focus after that. He has no interest in anything else after that.
I still remember seeing the car spin,reacting to it while in a Discord call with my friends. "Woah guys hold on,someones off! theres gonna be a crash" I said... When they cut on the left and seen the cars slam into eachother I yelled out. A lifetime watching racing, 5 years as race marshall and more, doesn't take that much to know something is REALLY WRONG. Wide angles on cameras, they don't show anymore frontal images... "...oh fuck someones dead..." I still remember my friends asking for more, not caring for F1 at all but knowing that if I reacted that way something is not right. I holded everything I had, but I knew somethign is bad, I knew again, I would whitness something horrible. And in the end, so we did, we all did. I will never forget this horrible moment, and so many of us. Imagine who, more or less, was there and involved somehow. First Bianchi, then Hubert, and almost Grosejan. No more, no more...
Those who watched single seater motorsports long enough knows that T-bone crashes would almost guarantee death for one of the drivers. The moment I saw that crash live, I knew one of the drivers was gone for good. Rest in piece Hubert
@@easuck1202 oh serious crash. No doubt. But death. No I think nobody expected that. It's become so safe. Too safe in my opinion. That was the shock. Death was unthinkable.
This showed how smart of a racing driver Lewis is. He knew exactly when it happened how bad it was. Sure as fans we can see the same thing but most of the time we think they'll be ok. But Lewis knew this was even worse than it appeared.
lol..everybody knew it was bad,who you think lewis is god??you can hear the speaker on track saying it was a horrified accident soon it happened..these comments are funny as hell
@@alexf1525 Bro, I'm far from a Lewis super fan so if I'm pointing out something that paints Lewis in a positive light there must be some time of validity to it. You're looking at this too simply. Of course we all knew it was bad. But Lewis knew immediately that was likely fatal. It's a different reaction than that of a fan or journalist. Guys like Lewis, Fernando and Seb are unbelievably intelligent when it comes to all factors in motor racing, more than the average driver. If Lewis reacts like that in front of me, I would have been extra worried.
@@kieferclarkf1674 wow..how do you know lewis knew it was fatal if he said i hope hes alright?..just because the camera was on lewis that time,if if was on latifi the reaction wouldve been the same like all of us who saw that live..when senna died i told my father he was gone soon as the car stop and he wasnt moving..so am i special??..no lewis is a normal driver and person he aint nothing more stop idolizing an average person
This is not being smart! This is knowing something very horrible happened, he is a topclass driver with more than enough experience, so he knows very well this is Not good.
hes actually putting the sport to shame, because he is just acting like a victim all the time. Abassadors to the sport are Raikkonen, Verstappen, Riccardo, people who are honest and themselves, not fake personalities. This was a sad moment, and he actually wasnt stopping the interview like other drivers do it, and they usually say interviewers to fuck off in terrible moments, but hamilton just keeps showing off his fake persona.
@@Da_one_tl Umm, him having fake personality for PR purposes, is the thing why i dont like him. Try remembering early hamilton, like before he became a champion second time, he was a true to self persona, but afterwards, he just became a fake personality on media.
@@Da_one_tl he degraded into just a pr monkey tho. He was cool at the start, and not a fake persona, he became just like hollywood actors, saying what oversensitive woke people want to hear, and nothing else. Before that, he was straight up himself. And this moment was also, when all other race car drivers no matter what series they drive, they would brush off the stupid media people, and wouldnt act in front of camera so much. But he had to do his PR stuff.
