Like most old circuits, Monza has some strange names for its corners. What does each of them mean? And which one is which?! Follow the Channel - mrvs_garage Follow Mr V - samroberts.v Follow Mr V - samroberts_v
If you want to a circuit and really want to butcher some names, go for Zandvoort :P (you may butcher them, but I thinkthe Dutch don't mind too much, because you at least will try :P )
@@MrVsGaragethe long standing tradition of british commentators and youtuber in pronouncing "junção" as yoon-cow instead of june-suh-oo is the worst offender i high expectation of low pronunciation 😂😂😂 Although I'm pretty sure I never got any corner names correct in French or German 😅 What do you think about translating names when possible? It used to be common until it suddenly stopped and everything became corner numbers
Brilliant video! I've found your channel recently and I've been watching all your videos religiously! Extremely entertaining and at the same time I learn some new things, even though I've already been watching F1 for 23 years. Keep up the good work and can't wait for the next video!
Been a casual f1 watcher for 25 years. Rarely if ever have I seen a detailed “place” name in a lap format like this. The times a circuit map is on tv are way too short and assumes everybody knows already. Well, new fans probably don't if I don't know them all. This vid helps a lot. Subd
I mean you can call these corner names uninventive, but at least most of them are fairly easy to learn quickly. Like the name parabolica itself makes it pretty damn obvious which corner it is even if you don't know Italian, provided you have an image of the track layout or a good overhead view, unlike say pif paf or the infamous eau rouge/raidillon
Trying to rename the parabolica which is amongst the most iconic corners in F1 while having Big Corner and Central Straight on the track was a Ferrari level of strategical thinking 😂 Good way to ensure Alboreto will never be remembered in track discussions xD
ascari is not that uncommon an occurrence sometimes tracks rename a corner or section of a track after a famous driver who died there for another example is turn 7 at Zolder (Zolder the other Belgium GP venue) was renamed Villeneuve after Gilles Villeneuve died there when he colided with another car and his ferrari went air born and he was thrown out of the car and killed
Wasn't "curva grande" the name in the 1960's before the chicanes were introduced at the end of the main straight? The corner was reprofiled to a significantly smaller radius because of the chicanes created at both ends and changed into "curva Biassono" after that as I understand
As for your last comment... engineers don't make good racers, racers don't make good engineers. Nowadays a good strategist may not workout as engineer or racer at all and both those roles eill have people unable to fully strategize... So yeah, Italy does make a lot of good racing cars, which shows a cultural trend for designing and building, but not for racing 😅 They are the opposite of Brazil in that regard, with many drivers either winning or being runner up on drivers championship withiut ever producing a good team or manufacturer to fight for points. The irony in this is that all great Brazilian drivers have Italian surnames 😂
Why are the names weird? Is it because they are in a different language? Feels strange to me. Things shouldn't be 'weird' because they are in a different language.
I see nothing strange about naming a corner after a driver deceased there. It's a tribute, a posthumous honor. It seems you have a pretty closed mind about cultures different than yours
@@MrVsGarage I think (I don't actually know) that the thing being parabolic is the banking of the old oval track at the bigger corner behind. That is/was similar to nascar's oval tracks or zandvoort banked turn. It's for sure that the original Parabolica was the older one, the turn of the oval, and the Parabolica of modern days just inherited the name
@@MrVsGarage and as a matter of fact you're right. rettilineo means the same thing and it is way more used in italian, but rettifilo is an older term that sometimes still comes up. (mainly just in monza, cause as you said, that's the official name of the straight).
I can't figure if you are trying to be humorous, witty or just funny. Regardless I long for the days when the dislike button functioned. For this video was a disrespectful joke.
