There's a good difference between bragging and telling about your achievements.. Nico, you're literally one of the best few racers worldwide, don't feel bad about sharing memories and comparing them to others, that's exactly what we want to know.
I'll never forget Monaco 2001 and here's why: I was a kid watching F1 in my living room and I was listening Reginaldo Leme, which is a legend here in Brazil when you think about an F1 journalist. For some reason, I said to myself "I'm gonna work with F1 and be like Reginaldo". Years later, my channel grew and I had the opportunity to tell this story to him. It was something magical and a truly message that I was right in all the sacrifices I've made. That's why I'll never forget Monaco 2001. Great video as always, Nico. Cheers from Brazil. 😉
I’d say Canada 2011 was the best race I’ve witnessed. With all the stops and safety cars due to accidents or bad weather. After hours of waiting and racing, there was the most intense last lap battle between Vettel and Button where he managed to force Vettel into a mistake to come home with the victory. I’m sure many people agree that this was an all time classic!
Turkey 2020, I haven’t been so engaged and amazed of an f1 race in years. Really had me staring at the screen for every moment all the way from practice, quail to last lap. Unpredicted starting grid, weather, strategy’s, overtakes, mistakes, records being broken..... WOW what a race!!! One I will never forget 🤜😁❤️
For me the most memorable is Canada 2011, I was a huge jenson fan as a kid and I remember staying up late with my dad watching it. When seb ran wide into the chicane I just remember the sheer happiness I felt watching button pass him after such a hard race for him
As a Finnish guy born in the mid 90s, it just has to be Brazil 2007. Pretty much everyone had given up on Kimi's championship hopes before China. Then Lewis beached himself and the spark of hope was relit. And then Kimi slayed in Brazil and with a bit of luck he won. It was amazing, I still get the chills thinking about it.
When you change Bahrain GP's title to they ear 2023, forget the description from the changed 2022 last year and released this video before the 2021 bahrain GP. Nico Rosberg strats
To me, the most memorable F1 race is 2008 Canadian GP and the only Robert Kubica's win. As a little boy I was a big fan of Robert. I'm from Poland and that was so exciting to see Robert on track. This rollercoaster and this memorable crash between Lewis and Kimi in pitlane is truly unforgotten to me. Especially after this horrendous Robert's crash, it is so sentimental, moving and memorable to me.
Nico has achieved everything and I think he is very happy enjoying life spending time with his family. Tomorrow is not guaranteed, so I think he is enjoying everyday to the fullest.
Brazil 1991 when Senna won for the first time in Brazil. This is my favorite race because in the last laps he started losing gears and by the last lap he was racing on 6th gear only, and still won the race. In the end he was so tired he started having cramps and on the podium he could barely lift up the trophy
My most memorable race was the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix. I was 7 years old, and already obsessed with F1. I remember having an F1 board game, and a little pedal powered Ferrari that I use to drive around neighborhood. When my parents told me we were driving up to Canada to attend the race, I was over the moon! It was a long drive from where we lived in New York, but I would have gone anywhere, or done anything, to see a race in person. My mom's side of the family is from Scotland, and talked about Jackie Stewart constantly, so he became my favorite driver, but all the drivers were hero's to me, and the thought of seeing them in real life was almost as exciting as Christmas morning!! A day of two before the race, we were walking through the paddock, Scottish flag in hand, when my grandmother spotted Jackie being interviewed. We headed in that direction in hope of saying hello and wishing him well in the race. While Jackie was being interviewed, he looked over at me and waved hello and smiled. There were thousands of people milling about, but Jackie Stewart waved and smiled at ME!!!! I was so overcome with joy, that I began crying. Jackie was pulled away immediately after the interview, so I never got a chance to talk to him, though I suspect I would have been too awestruck to even get a word out. Even though I missed my chance of meeting Jackie, It was still one of the most happiest days I ever had as a kid.
2016 Abu Dhabi, that for me was the most intense and memorable race I have ever seen with Lewis slowing the pack down and Nico with literally all the remaining laps making no wrong steps, I've watched it over 5 times already this week to prepare for Sunday and it still gives me goosebumps and I still get anxious that Nico does get passed even tho I know how the race ends.
Brazil 2012 - such a legendary race. Head to head title battle, Seb fighting back in the rain after collision and overtaking other cars like god, Michael's last race...
Brazil 2012 must be the most memorable. Because: A championship decider on last round, podium finisher Alonso loses it while Sebastian fights from virtually the last, Schumacher retiring, many incidents, McLaren last win to date and it had enough live coverage+video to make it reach to wide audiences.
This track is so fun to drive on in f1 2021...i just like the flow of the whole thing. It all flows together so nicely especially the 2nd half of the track
Spa Francochamps, 1995. Michael Schumacher against Gerhard Berger and Damon Hill. Slicks in teh rain. Schumacher as 16th on the grid wins his 16th GrandPrix. Eddy Irvine's Jordan in flames while refueling. What a race.
Spa 2008. The last few laps between Kimi Raikkönen and Lewis Hamilton were literally breathtaking. I remember I was 13 years old and a huge fan of Kimi. Seeing him dominating on my favorite circuit and then spin after blanchimont few laps before the chequered flag made me cry like a baby.
That's amazing to hear that you were still able to enjoy it! To be honest I really hope you get top comment with this instead of all the other commenting Canada 2011 oder Germany 2019.
Best of all time race for me is definitely Canada 2011. It managed to keep a 13 year old me glued to the TV for over 4 hours straight. So much was happening and then the crazy finish on the last lap just topped it all off.
Whenever I see your race here in 2015 I get so sad. Just listening to your radio then "I would like to go to the end" breaks my heart. Next year you were Champion there, but that radio messages from 2015 always make me cry. You're a true legend Nico.
My favorite GP ever was Monaco 2003. I was about 7 years old, and Juan Pablo Montoya was racing like a monster. And since I am from Colombia, naturally I was cheering for him. Something that always got stuck on my mind was the pit stop that got him the lead and eventually the win. Watching J.P Montoya being chased by Michael and Ralf Schumacher and Raikkonen was epic.
Dont know if you remeber me but i built your showcars for mercades back in 2015 and 2016 and meeting you ,your dad and george and getting to deliver the car i built for you at the circuit was the best race weekend for me
The race from Niki Lauda when i came back on the track after his crash, and finished four on the grid after a bad start. That's my most memorable race in F1 history.
@@zuzu1173 but these 3 bois are the big bois. In middle east. You see them everywhere in middle east.... U see like 80land cruisers, 70 lexus lx570s, and like 85 patrols lol.... Maybe u see them infinite.... They always appear everywhere. It's like everyone can afford them lol.
As a brazilian myself, the 2008 brazilian GP was a surreal experience, in a matter of seconds the feeling of my family went from anxiety to celebration to anger and finally respect for the new champion. Even my grandparents were screaming and cursing in the last laps
Most memorable GP for me was the 2018 Canadian. First ever attended live. Got the tickets for my 40th birthday, it was the 40th anniversary of Jill Villeneuve's win and Jacques drove the Ferrari 312 in the parade. I had worked for a company that serviced that car and had a memorable connection to it. My first car ever to see was a glimpse of Charles in the Alpha through a gap om the fence on our way to the seats. Later at the hotel Delta we shared an elevator ride with some Alpha team crew and bumped into Damon Hill at dinner. After the race on the trackwalk I managed to find a piece of curb that was layers of rubber and paint as a momento. A magical weekend.
Most memorable race for me used to be Imola 2004 for the Schumacher vs Montoya battle. It was very recently overtaken by Turkey 2020. That race had everything...classic track with an incredible layout, wheel to wheel battles in the wet, and appreciating the talent of drivers like Lewis and Perez to manage their tyres to the point where their inters were worn down to slicks and they were still able to find grip on the slippery surface.
The most memorable race for me is definitely Brazil 2008. I was 8 years old and in disbelief that Lewis might lose out again on the championship and then there were those famous words “is that glock?!” And I just burst out screaming, I’ll never forget
Most memorable F1 race for me was Canada 2011. A lot of F1 races are same old same old, Canada had everything. Weather, crashes, team mates colliding and then the final few laps. To have someone who was running last to end up winning on the last lap is rare, for them to be able to drive on slicks in the wet just shows how good these F1 drivers are. They make driving and controlling a car look easy. That race for me was like watching a last minute 35 yard goal to win the game after being 0-3 down at half time.
Honestly speaking, one of the top ones on my list is Monza 2020. The sheer performance of every driver, the shaking up of the grid, the crash, everything, all came together to make it such a dramatic and wonderful race. The fact that the Torro Rosso (or the Alpha Tauri lol) won the race gave me such a huge flashback to Monza 2008, and the fact that Gasly was on top of his game that day, really proved that F1 is a sport which every driver has fought so much for. Every driver has so much skill, and when the cars and drivers are united with the perfect situation, it creates such a beautiful harmony and the sport becomes ever so much more memorable.
Best race of all time is Brazil 2012. The unpredictability was truly amazing and just like Nico's comeback from last, Seb's composure to comeback that strong was something awe-inspiring
In my humble opinion is gotta be 94' San Marino Grand Prix. In this race it shows that no matter who you are and how great you are is still one of the most dangerous sports. Also from this day on the safety of the car began to be more and more important .
Great question. So many to choose from. But the one that comes to mind has to be that Canadian GP back in 2011 or '12 where after lots of crashes and S.C's and getting cancelled for some 2+- hours he managed to get the victory. Now imagine at the time living in Greece and with the time difference how much of an effort it was to watch the race. And of course that was him two years after that surprise WC with the then BAR Honda , which later became your team Nico Mercedes GP, and unfortunately the last times you'd see a competitive McLaren team. By the way. Nico I love the concept and content of your channel because despite the fact that communication at least to me is that face 2 face contact and the body language itself, never the less you use your knowledge and that tool so exceptionally well that gives me the chance to say thumbs up for what you do. Keep it up Nico.
Being in "the zone" is actually very common when you're doing some sport or some form of art, working etc That perfect focus and the feeling that you're at the top of your game and everything just happens perfectly, it's amazing
My most memorable f1 race as a spectator has to be Turkey this year. I mean so much stuff happened, people doing donuts on the wet ground, drivers constantly moving up and down on the leaderboard and that neck in neck finish for the podium, it was just spectacular!
My favorite F1 race of all time is Hockenheim (2000). Michael Schumacher was out of the race early (his 3rd DNF in a row) and was going to lose a lot towards his rivals. Barrichello was starting from 17th place. In changeable weather and at times a complex (partially-wet) track Barrichello fought his way to the front and landed his first ever F1 race win. It was so exciting to see a low-downforce, high-speed circuit with lots of tense racing and overtaking, and not only that we got plenty of on-board action hearing the beautiful sound of the naturally aspirated engines singing. Barrichello's race win was great for him personally but also great for Michael's championship hopes. For so many reasons this is my all-time favorite F1 race!
Most memorable F1 race for me was the US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen 1967. A number of us had Goodyear uniforms and had great adventures. I sat in Jackie Stewart‘s car, I painted the tires on Bruce McLaren‘s car, I watched the start of the race from the starting bridge . We pushed Jimmy Clark’s car into the winner circle which was probably the top memory. I just found your channel and subscribed , it looks terrific.
My favourite race ever was turkish 2020 cuz thats where the cars dont matter that much (but still does). The rain coupled with the new track surface gave us a amazing race not to mention a awesome podium of well deserved drivers
Canada 2011, the excitement of the wet weather and not knowing how the tyres would work. If the leader does 5 stops (correct me if I'm wrong) you know it's good
Nico, September 28th 2003, US Grand Prix, Michael Schumacher started 7th, finishing 1st. Championship on the line, couple of races left. In the rain. I was seated right in middle of pits section. We got there very early. Still remember when Sauber was first car to start inside their garage. You can recognize her noise instantly even if doors were closed. So many poll positions changes in that race. Spin offs. At the end Michael was on top.
Most memorable race for me is Canada 1995, Jean Alesi was (and still is, sorry Nico) my racing hero and to see him win with a Ferrari number 27 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve (and it was his birthday as well) was just so special, maybe not a "classic" win but his only win so for me the best race ever.
Spa 1998 for me, the most unbelievable pile up at the beginning, a restart and another crash, a British winner, a 1-2 for Jordan, rain, pit stop drama…. It was INCREDIBLE!
Canada 2011 GP. I had a houseful of family members over for my daughters birthday. None of them had ever watched F1 before. They were all going crazy over Buttons last lap pass for the win. That was a good day.
this race was the best piece of marketing formula one could ask for. if your new to the sport (as i was at the time) this was the summary you needed to catch up. it had the politics, the technology, the tire strategy and ofcourse the DogFight between you and lewis. I have to say im a huge lewis fan but, i have to thank you for participating in that moment. As a 3d designer Formula one has had a massive infleunce on me, the sport has really changed my life and that started at this race for me. So, Thank You
It's pretty obvious as you look at my nationality. Canada 2008. I was a young boy (12 at 2008) and was watching how Robert Kubica get his first win... When it happened I had in mind that previous year he had that massive accident. But he came back winning that cursed GP. It was priceless, I was crying not only from joy because of Pole getting a win but as well that I felt... Proud. Proud he came back, proud he won and proud to see it. Even if it was a TV broadcast... A fake screen... The feelings were hecking real.
The best is Monza 2019: Leclerc been chased by the two silver arrows all day long and surviving to make all tifosi cry in joy. Nico Love form Colombia!!
