NASCAR Fan Watches F1 for the First Time 

As you could probably tell, a significant portion of the video had to be cut because of a copyright claim submitted by F1. By the way, totally unrelated, check the description...

Verstappen led more laps this season than all other drivers combined. Didn't deserve to win this race but deserved to win the championship.

7:10 “They’re so civil on the radio” that part had me laughing so hard - an F1 fan

9:53 It's from one of his most famous quotes: "Yes, yes, leave me alone, I know what I'm doing"

I like that you also enjoyed the intro/music/build up. It always gives me goosebumps before the start of a race and it’s nice to see it has the same effect on new people too!

you couldn't pick a better day to start your F1 journey. you witnessed everything that F1 is all about and also everything that you have to know about it currently, especially with stewards and FIA being less consistent than a game dice.

The sparks happen because the lower you can run a car the faster the air has to move underneath the car, this causes a low pressure area which effectively sucks the car to the ground. The cars have titanium skid blocks that are allowed a certain amount of wear over a race distance to stop teams running their cars dangerously low to the ground.

Btw, at 2:42 your talking about 7 championship being the "human limit" but the record for the most "world title" wins is hold by Sebastien Loeb in WRC with 9 victory in a row (from 2004 to 2012) and that made him the most decorated motor sports athlete, and if i'm not wrong the second one is Sebastien Ogier with 8...also in WRC and almost in a row too (from 2013 to 2018 then 2020-21)

The announcer is David Croft (Crofty) from Sky SportsTV. Assisted by Martin Brundle (ex F1 driver) Jensen Button (ex F1 World champion) and many others.

Dude, you picked a hell of a race as your first full one. Luck and pitting decisionmaking and tire strategy are all part of racing too.

6:42 facts. He literally spoke for every f1 fan.

You basically experienced the whole season in one race😂 Your reaction and editing definitely made me give you a sub

The joy on your face during the F1 opening sequence was great, F1's production quality is amazing

Max Verstappen 2021 season: •652 laps led (more than half of all the laps available on the season and more than the other drivers combined) •10 wins •10 pole positions •18 podiums (historic record in a single season) •Out of 22 races he finished on the top 2 on 18 of them,out of the other 4,3 were Dnfs. •And an interesting fact: Out of the last 34 races Max finished in f1...he finished 32 of them on the podium...the only exceptions being Turkey 2020 and Hungary 2021. Fkn insane stats. And some ppl dare to say it was manipulated 😂😂

10:50 did you just skip the main point if the video?? lol

Your comment about the intro is one hundred percent correct. Crofty, the commentator, always does the intro to the race almost the exact same every time, and that coupled with the brooding excitement of that part of the theme song makes that intro something I always look forward too. no better way to start a morning.

“They’re so civil on the radio” well that aged well.

Max deserves it so much more, he got robbed from things out of his control like in Silverstone, Hungary and Baku. If all three races go normally, he'd won the championship with one race to spare.

Step 1 to becoming a F1 fan: vibing to the F1 theme song 3:27

9:44 Oh but Formula 1 is never what it seems. You can never discard any random shit from happeneing. So far I have seen a few things: - A race winner disqualified. - Title rivals crashing on the last race. - A "race" that started and ended behind the safety car. - A race winner that made 6 pit stops. - A championship decided on the last lap. - A championship decided on the last turn. - Four drivers fighting for the title on the last race. - A race restart with only two laps to go. - An end of race in the wet decided in a battle with dry tyres. - Cars breaking down just before a win. - The race leader crashing into a lapped car. - I think Michael once crashed into the safety car. - A race with only 6 cars. - Hamilton starting on the grid all alone. - A 50 second pit stop. - A tryre gun that stuck harder than the ghost of an ex, causing the car to be retired. - A car pulling away from the pitstop and taking the fuel pipe with it. - A team putting the wrong tyres on a driver in the lead and causing him to lose the race. - A race purpusefully fixed by a teammate crashing out. - A marshall almost getting run over. And more ...

Mercedes should blame themselves for not giving Lewis new tires.

I watched the race with my parents live, we woke up at 4 in the morning since the race was at 5. And the last lap was so exciting to witness, this season was incredibly close no matter the race, and it came down to the last lap.Verstappen, having no luck all season in any sense, finally has Lady Luck deal him a good hand and he won.

4:20 literally everyones reaction to seeing that.

2:07 “some championships were won by the slimmest of margins” *Shows 2020 season*

Fia be consistent. They have hardly been consistent with the rules this season. And this is someone who was happy Max won this. Just because it's been so long of merc dominance

he is the more deserved driver to win, because mercedes literally ended his race twice! In silverstone & hungary they took his out, thats why this last race even mattered.

Great description! Thank you for adding that, this was very nice to watch, and it's nice to see, that someone not familiar with f1 had the same WTF feeling I did, as someone who has watched every single second of this season. And yes, it WAS that nuts, EVERY race! If you want to re-watch one, watch silverstone. Max in the wall with 51g! Or, watch Zandvoort... the Orange Legion was awesomely impressive and fun to watch that weekend!

I just recently started watching F1 a few years back. The production value on these races are absolutely perfect!!!

American F1 fan here. So glad to see you enjoying the sport. Loved the reaction. And great editing from one editor to another!

Max was deserving - lead over 52% of all laps this season, had 2x more poles than hamilton, 2 more wins, 6 more sprint race points, all while getting DNFed 3 times to 1. Meanwhile, if Lewis doesn’t leave brake magic on in Baku after Max’s tires exploded he wins the title by 18 points. Both had their chances to win it on track, was bound to be a bitter pill at the end, but dang was that a crazy spectacle of a year.

I really enjoyed watching your experience :D Got into F1 at the end of 2020 so got to experience the entire season watching every race (build ups and post race shows included) and man it was a crazy season! :D

Man I’d love if you did a couple more of these. Love to hear the perspective of a nascar fan and I’ll have to check out some of your nascar vids too

As an F1 fan, this was so funny and interesting to watch. You should definitely do some more F1 stuff every once in a while in future!

Max is the ONLY deserving 2021 World Champion 🔟wins 🔟poles 1️⃣8️⃣podiums (new record, only 🥇🥈) 6️⃣5️⃣2️⃣ laps led (over half) 3️⃣races ruined through no fault of his own (two of which thanks to Mercedes) 2️⃣nd best car > besides the DNFs and being bowled over by Bottas only finished 🥇🥈 > FiA biased against him for most of the season > Lewis getting massively lucky in Imola with the 🚩

Really glad I watched this video. Great Editing, funny and not overloaded. Great to see someone new to F1 enjoy it so much.

6:49 1 nascar fan is smarter than the entire fia

8:20 thought the sparks come from the cars being so low, therefore when they're going 300 kph the downforce presses them into the ground and the floor (I think there's a titanium plate) gives off sparks

I’ve been a Nascar fan for about 15 years and this is the first F1 season I’ve watched in full. I love the broadcasts, feel like nascar can learn a lot from F1, however in this last race and other instances throughout this season the FIA made several bad calls.

definitely need to make more videos like these, you have some good comedy and good enough editing skill that this video made me laugh, glad to see another new f1 fan being born, im pretty new to it myself

really enjoyed the full version! thanks for linking it!

Lewis had the faster car this race, but Max has performed better over the course of this year.

Max was the indisputed driver of the season, he made Lewis start making mistakes again this season

I didn't have any expectations for this video but now I am definitely subscribing. This was waaaaaay funnier than I expected.

Its really cool and amazing to see people getting in onto the f1 world❤

You should really watch the next season of F1 in its entirely. The new 2022 regulations mean any car can come out on top, since they have to develop their new cars entirely from scratch and the new regulations are meant to bunch the teams closer together. Heck even Haas could end up coming out on top. Its gonna be super exciting. Sadly, Antonio Giovinazzi and Kimi Räikkonen won't be on the grid for 2022 anymore, but there'll still be many drivers to keep an eye on. Pierre Gasly who outperformed his Alpha Tauri this season (constantly coming in P6 in the 5th best car on the grid, aka 8 drivers have better cars than him). Carlos Sainz who joined Ferrari and finished the season ahead of his teammate Charles Leclerc, who had been with the team for 2 years already. Mick Schumacher who will hopefully get a good car next year where he can fight for podiums and maybe even race victories (the 2020 Formula 2 champion and son of Michael Schumacher, the GOAT). Fernando Alonso who came back to the sport after a 2 year break in 2021 and was actually still pretty damn good. And both Aston Martin drivers who do have the experience and skills to fight for championships if only their car is good enough for the job. Its gonna be very exciting and the order of teams could really get shuffled up.

As a dedicated F1 channel I found your video reaction pretty entertaining. Kudos!

As a lifelong F1 fan I thoroughly enjoyed your truncated video on this race!! The get the heart pumping before every race 😀

9:28 hamilton on the radio to bono

I rarely like/watch reaction videos and I liked this one. You come across as genuine, humorous without being overbearing with it and respectful towards the racing series that you're watching. I watch the Cup Series on and off and since you're mostly going to be doing NASCAR-content, I subscribed and hope you get some more views on this vid.

Loved the editing man haha! Have fun with F1, this season was one of the best ever.

This was such a good video 👍👍 Glad to see you enjoying the sport and appreciating the details!

Awesome video man, very well put together! Interesting to see the reaction of someone who’s used to watching Nascar, and way more interesting than watching someone with zero understanding of motorsport react. Would love to see more of these F1 reactions!

Great reaction! Fair comments. Hope you will follow the next season as well!

Corner cutting rule is only there for Max. If your name is Lewis you can keep it

In most scenarios the lapped cars will be let past in the correct fashion. This one was so wonky because Masi (race director) had Merc’s Toto in his ear yelling at him to not let them past while he was trying to facilitate the cleanup and the restart. They’re already been talks of eliminating the teams’ radio communications with the race directors for next year

Imagine every F1 fan was this calm :))))))))

Watch the entire season!! From the first to the last lap it was insanity with those two

I've watched this video 3 minutes and I already love it Conner

Really cool to see someone with a natural standpoint and with alot of knowledge about nascar reacting to this race. Like the way of editing aswell. Nice video man👍

The f1 intro is the best intro ever

20 years of hard work came together in 1 lap.... if u like watch the Dutch GP. its a little indi500 feeling for you or Daytona the big ones you got there

season 22 will have NEW cars... so it will be very interesting how it will go because Merc dominated hybrid era.

Really love the view you have at the end of the video regarding the different types of motor race and why they exist Good message and great reactions 😂👌

Bro, I'm a 10-year F1 fan and just found your video. Your edits are INSANE and I couldn't stop laughing. Great content, great video. Sub EARNED.

Those sparks coming from the back of the car is actually from the Floorboard most likely scraping the asphalt of the track. It's not damaging the board but just kind of scraping it.

8:19 it's because there's an underbody plate to prevent the teams from bottoming out the ride height, that plate is made from a material that looks like wood, and can only be 2 cm smaller after the race, otherwise, DSQ

7:28 😂 Bro the ASMR line is funny as hell. The Mercedes car could be on fire with all 4 tires flying into the stands and the guy would come over the radio and be like “okay Lewis please confirm you’re alive, repeat please select option 2 and confirm you are indeed alive. We need to be mindful of the power unit”

The sparks you ask about at 8:18 have to do with the underside of the car, it is pretty much completely flat but by FIA rules, it has to be a certain amount above the tarmac. There are titanium bolts underneath the car that measure this height which cause the sparks you see when those hit the road. And yes, there is a rule in place that those bolts can only wear so much.

Lewis wasn’t robbed, no rules were broken. Stop crying Lewis fans The thing is that if the FiA had followed the normal safety car procedure the end result would have been the same, Max would have still started the restart behind Lewis with fresh tires (they would have let ALL cars unlap themselves 1/2 laps before, which was possible). The only people affected by the FiA’s unusual (yet legal, Article 15.3) decision were the people behind Max and Lewis who weren’t given an opportunity to fight. The crash and safety were definitely unlucky for Lewis, but that is it, nothing more than bad luck, which Verstappen has had plenty of this season. Lewis wasn’t robbed, and Mercedes know this since they have no ground for an appeal. Mercedes took a gamble by choosing track position over fresh tires (maybe they thought Lewis could do what Perez did earlier in the race, except for the fact that Lewis has the way faster car) it didn’t pay off, strategical error. Mercedes knew the race would be green flagged again, which is clear from their radio messages and from the fact that they among other have protested against finishing under yellow conditions. Stop spreading hate, you are embarrassing yourselves and as well as Lewis

Lewis was the more deserving driver in this race, but Max over the whole season.. Max had much more bad luck in other races than Lewis and should have won the championship before this last race already.. So in the end the right guy still won.. I think that's the general opinion of most F1 fans..

9:23 that's literally been Mercedes for the whole season

The sparks are a magnesium skid plate. So when the cars lower down because of the downforce. It doesn’t scrape anything important. And it scrapes this skid plate and it gives out sparks. Because it’s magnesium they do that on purpose for the fans

This was hilarious, loved the reaction. I hope you get into F1 next season, brand new regulations, new cars ! We have no idea which team will have the fastest car

loool, Big Perez at 9:08 hahah, nice edit

You didn't see Ayrton Senna, son. You never saw the real thing.

That is honestly the best way to open a video, I'm instantly hooked and I'm only 4 seconds in.

This was great. Do more f1 reactions I will watch the shit out of them. The F1 youtube channel has tons of good highlights to watch.

saw the whole video... amazing editing so good and actually you were pretty on point for someone watching a full f1 race for the first time. Just one peeve, the sound effects you used were sometimes a bit too loud which led to me reducing the volume and not being abt to hear you properly thats it.

1:02 oh my god,almost got from my parents😂

I love how this nascar fan indirectly points out all the problems and inefficiencies of nascar compared to f1. I absolutely love it. It shows how slow and behind the Americans are on nascar

There is litterally a car that goes on the field to slow down the F1 cars and it's called the Safety car. The safety car may also have a doctor and medical stuff within in case of a bad accident. The safety car also goes as fast as it can which is way slower than and F1 car

5:45 All F1 fans ever: BRUH.

just extra info and fun facts about F1 etc. 1. the commentator is named David Croft also know as "crofty" 2. On the official F1 youtube chanel they upload higligths from all practice, qualifying and races for free (so people for example like you dont need to sit there for 4 hours, just to make a reaction or review video). 3. You asked about the sparks, well long story but i will try and keep it short. there is a rule that F1 cars need to be atleast 1 cm (a bit less than 3/4 of an intch). there is also many rules about the floor, for example the floor needs to be smoth, so canges in depth. The teams make sure to not break the rules (due to the friction from the asphalt witch can reshape the floor) by placing small skitbloks thats about 1 cubic centimeter. These small blocks are super resistant and are super hard. They create friction with the asphalt witch creates the awedsome looking sparks. 4. Yes, there is something called a "Safety car" in F1. They are deployed in cases when the maschals need to buntch the pack up to make it safe enugh from them to pick up debrie or remove cars after a incident. 5. Yes, F1 pitstops are the fastest in any racing categorey in the world. The world record for the fastest pitstop in history was set by Redbull in 2019 at brazil where they changed 4 tires in just 1.82 seconds. 6. The Merceds W11 was the fastet racing car ever built in history with its 1000+break horse power while producing 3 tones (6667lbs) of downforse. That means that all F1 cars on the F1 2021 grid are able to drive upside down in a tunnle after reatching a certain speed.

More videos like this please! I also subscribed to the channel! Thanks for this video!

You're right, he can't cut the corner on the first lap, karma got him on the last.

Lewis Hamilton was in Cars???

That was top-tier level of commentary - from someone whom I actually believe that he has no involvement in this, whats-o-ever :D Also, watched the UNCUT one. That's actually awesome.

Im here for F1, so this is the first and last time in your channel. I like the way you make videos. Keep it up!

2:58 If I'm not mistaken, only Fernando Alonso and Max Verstappen can say that

You’re energy and editing is so entertaining man

I love how that camera flip surprised literally everyone lmao That cameraman has been waiting his whole life to justify why he's been flipping expensive cameras around in the air for year

I will say that a lot of races do tend to be very fun, and action packed unless its monaco, or if its a real championship battle the whole season like this. hope your interest in F1 grows more and you follow the sport. of all the races to start watching you picked the best one

I sincerly appreciate your take on the last moments of the race. In the F1 world there is a hell of emotional roasting going on. But i think, and i have watched F1 for 20 years almost continuously, the stewards and the race director did essentially nothing wrong at all. The procedure to unlap the cars was unusual, because they had double yellow out for the most time, and what happened then was that the race director, also under pressure from the teams, let at least the cars between the leading cars unlap to have a final round of racing. And the RD is not responsible for the tire strategy of the teams, he is responsible for safety (->double yellow, no unlapping) and a good show (->thrilling final round). How the teams heandle that is up to them. And Toto trying to influence Masi over and over is the thing that is not right here. "Micheal that is not right" No Toto That is not right. lol I remember the championship decider of 2016, i dont remember You complaining about anything. For people who dont know about 2016, Rosberg was leading in points, Hamilton lead the race Rosberg on second. To win Lewis needed Rosberg to lose some positions, what he did was slowing down so the next cars could close the gap and in his hope take the position from Rosberg. And they were team mates. They raced together since they were kids. That is the dirtiest thing i have seen that a team mate could do to someone you know so well. Luckily it didnt work out. Sir dirty games Lewis Hamilton. I needed to say that, that must have been said... 🤭

No manipulations? You should have watched the whole season than! It was karma on these last few laps and Max deserved this championship....most wins, most poles, most leading laps. 🇳🇱💪 Okay, Lewis deserved to win that day but Max deserved the WDC.

The cars are so low to the ground that sometimes the back end scrapes it slightly and sends sparks flying

The safety car is a car that comes out if there is an incident on the track. All drivers have to slow down and there is no overtaking allowed.

lewis was the overall better driver? did u only watch the end of the season or were you watching the whole way through? in every single race this year max completed he finished in 1st and 2nd. Lewis only had a chance to begin with because of his god tier luck saving him on 3 different occasions.

5:05 Sorry to tell you, covid's never going away 🥲

This was great, and the editing was top notch!

The sparks comes from the cars having an extremely low ride height and they are filled with fuel that pushes it down just a tad more. When the car goes over a small bump or curb then the cars will scrape the bottom titanium on the ground, but the effect gets less and less as the fuel is used.
