The Most Bizarre Formula 1 Race of All Time 

5:00 “the weirdest thing you will ever see Hamilton in Hungary 2021: Hold my restart

Fun fact - when I was 10, me and my dad were at this race, and we stayed through to the very end. We had no idea what was going on until we got back to the hotel afterwards and found out online. Younger me was a Ferrari fangirl, so she didn't mind it too much :P Also holy crap there was so many beer cans thrown on track. If you watch carefully, one of the Ferraris actually hit one halfway into the race.

Belgium 2021: *Allow Me to introduce myself*

"Possibly the biggest farce in F1 history" Belgium 2021: Hold my wheat beer

Remember when FIA was randomly changing F1 to cripple the dominant team?

The picture of Patrick Friesacher isn't him, it's Robert Doornbos actually!

"bwoah the race was shit" - kimi raikkonen

Indy 2005 “the weirdest race of all time” Belgium 2021: hold my rain

5:55 thats Robert Doornbos??

Blaming Ferrari for refusing the use of a chicane when the FIA made specific rules to bring them down seems kinda odd to me

Thing you missed was that Michelin could have run a test day, but didn’t because Bridgestone decided not to. Bridgestone had transferable data from Indy and even tried to explain this to Michelin informally who got high handed with them.

Every fan when they saw nearly the entire grid went to the pits: 👁👄👁

I don't think you can blame Ferrari. I mean the rules creating this mess where only implied to make Ferrari lose. So why bow down if this is your only chance of winning?

The whole one set of tyres rule was an absolute joke, just to stop Ferrari winning so when the Michelin runners started having troubles in Indy after having troubles all season Ferrari's attitude of "why should go along with what you guys want?" is understandable in my opinion. I've been waiting for the FIA to come up with a similarly stupid rule to stop Merc in recent times

Well, as a Ferrari fan, you can justify the veto by blaming the FIA for bringing the no tyre change rule. I don’t see anyone doing this to the Mercedes juggernaut now.

Friesacher is so forgettable that you're showing Doornbos instead 🤣🤣

0:08 “Boring races: Sochi, Annual”

And then came August 1st 2021: One car in the grid. :D

And Narain Karthikeyan still can’t get a podium

I remember this. Watching all this unfold live was crazy. F1 was trying hard to promote themselves in the USA, and this demolished years worth of work. The crowd was LIVID.

Lmao just imagine if Jordan and Minardi both withdrew it would have been a 2 car race

I remember being quite young and watching this race on television with my dad. Being portuguese, Tiago Monteiro being on F1 was a very proudful moment, we'd see every race, but it was extremely awkward to see him finishing in third when he was always in the lower positions.

Yeah and now there was a start of a Race with only one car...

05:55 my man, thats Robert Doornbos😂😂

One of the most memorable race for the portuguese fans!!

I love this F1 Content.

Lewis Hamilton Hungary 2021: Lol 6 cars are too many. OK I will create a new unbreakable record.

Spa 2021 may give it a run for your money... Indy 2005

Spa 2021: Hold my rain

Little did he know hungaroring 2021 was yet to come

Says Indianapolis 2005* Every F1 fan:we don’t talk about that here

"...and Patrick Friesacher" *That's Doornbos actually*

Getting that recommend after the restart in Budapest is kinda crazy

I think Indianapolis 2005 is now challenged by Hungary 2021 to be the craziest race ever

As a portuguese Tiago Monteiro fan, this race was hella hype. I'll never forget it.

Meanwhile: Lewis starting solo in Hungarian 2021

Meanwhile 2021 Hungarian GP..... 1 car

Belgian GP 2021: Are you challenging me?

4:32 the loudest "boo" I've heard at any sporting event, ever. BTW I lived in Indy at the time...NO ONE would buy Michellin for about 3 - 4 years. Also, they got blamed for the loss of the F1 race at IMS.

You guys are crushing it this off season 👌 Thank you so much for all of the amazing content!

Indianapolis 2005: I am the worst race ever Spa 2021: Hold my beer

I was at the race! I remember people throwing trash on the track and the state police department showing up lol.

All the cars doing 2 laps and taking 4 hours to do them is a new contender for the title.

Belgium 2021: Hold my safety car

I love how it got recommend after Hungry Grand Prix 2021 and golden words "Lights out and here were go for Lewis Hamilton only".

"The Most Bizarre Formula 1 Race of All Time" Belgium 2021: "No, you have a new champion..."

I couldn't imagine what some people would've felt if they canceled the race. If I had saved enough money to buy a ticket, fly to indy, and pay for a hotel just for the race to get canceled or postponed, I'd be so upset. Then again, doing all that and expecting the full 20 cars and only getting 6 would maybe be even worse?

I was there for that race. It was definitely a bizarre day. Watching nearly all the cars go to the pits after the start, there had been rumors that it might happen, but we didn't really expect they would.

F1 : 6 cars is insane Hamilton 2021: Hold my mercedes!

It's the only F1 race I remember attending (I was at the Dallas Grand Prix in 84, but was 17 months old). It was a disappointment to only watch 6 cars racing, but cancelling or postponing it would have made it where I couldn't attend the race at all. A "bad" F1 race is still an F1 race, so I'm glad it wasn't cancelled.

I was there. It was wild. We had no idea what was going to happen, but I don’t think anybody in the stands expected every Michelin car to pull out. It happened SO fast. Everything up to the end of the formation lap seemed like the race would run as normal then fourteen cars pull out, the race starts, and WTF!

Not bad for Schumacher moving from fifth to third in the standings 😂😅

Spa 2021 moment

hungaroring 2021 - hold my beer

Belgium 2021: And I took that personally.

This needs an update lol

Merc:"write that down,write that down"

“Only 6 cars.” Try one😏

this video: *exists* Pirelli, Azerbaijan 2021: hmmm interesting...

LMAO, the US GP 2005 start looks like a packed starting grid now

You didn't say that the chicane idea was actually not going ahead anyway, becaude the circuit needed rehomologation even for such a small change

3:27 All a part of Ferrari's previous Master🅱️lan

I thought the chicane had been excluded because every corner needs to be properly tested for safety in advance.

*2021 Belgium Has Entered the Chat*

Why did i get this as recomended after the hungarian grand prix with only lewis at the starting grid😂 sorry for bad grammar btw lol

I have watched tens of videos of this US GP. Yet every time a new one pops up, I watch it again.

And now we had a race with only one starting

Hungary 2021: Hold my rain soaked beer!

“2005 United States gp, the most bizzare f1 gp in history!” Meanwhile 2021 Belgian gp: hold my rain

Lando: "It's Bwoken!" 😂😂 Good one

Lewis Hamilton 2021: Hold my beer

Simple solution: Just allow them to change the friggin tires when they wear out. The better tires still have the advantage of requiring less pit stops.

12 -year-old me was there. Still managed to take home some good memories. I randomly met and talked to Christijan Albers' mom at the mall the night before so I had someone paint her son's helmet on my face before the start. Little did I know he would end up in the points in his Minardi. I was also a fan of Michael so both drivers I supported happened to race. Sad to have missed the roar of twenty V10's at the start but I will still never forget the sound of those engines.

who's here after Lewis was the only car on the grid at Hungary

4:30 "trulli led a train" ok you got me there

My first GP and the scariest crowd I've ever been in.

Record broken by Hamilton at the 2021 Hungarian gp Because he was alone on the grid

Honestly, this race was my earliest memory of F1.

We were at this race as we had been at every F1 at Indy. Equipped with our scanners, we were privy to team and F1 communications. Early that morning we got the indication that all was not right in Bernie's world. We then started hearing discussions about doing the formation lap. Take the grid, start the race then before completing the 1st lap, pull off into the pit lanes. We waited until it actually happened. We already had our gear packed up ready to go. The Police outside were shocked as thousands of fans stormed out of the track. We didn't drive almost 7 hours to watch a damn parade!

I was there too. There were rumours of the pullout before the race but didn’t know what was gonna happen even minutes until the start. We got a refund check for the tickets from Michelin a year later. Didn’t make up for the hours of driving and hotel. The Porsche Supercup was exciting though. :)

How about last weekend with a single car starting on the grid?

Belgium 2021; hold my beer

As someone who watched the 2020 Turkish GP, things go downhill when a track is resurfaced

What is also bizarre is that after San Marino 1994, FIA still doesn't have a protocol of imeddiately canceling a race if accidents are showing that might be something wrong with the racetrack or equipment. In San Marino they also put into vote many options to increase security on the corner where a pilot had already died, and Senna would die in the next day, and nothing was really done.

This needs to be re-wrote

Would anyone else enjoy a race with 6 midfield/backmarker cars rather than a usual Hamilton win, Bottas second and verstappen third, or is it just me?

Even if ferarri did vote for the chicane idea then it wouldnt have gone ahead anyway because the FIA have to check and validate every corner that is raced around to ensure it is safe. Great video though

0:27 Literally every Gran Turismo endurance race ever. God bless GameShark. 😎

Spa 2021, nobody will forget that, russell on podium, and mazepin got fastest lap, and the race is only 2laps under safety car.

Fun fact, I live down the street from IMS and was at this exact race 😂 shit was W I L D

I hadn't been able to watch qualifying, so the first I knew that something was up was turning on ITV's race buildup and Jim saying "we still don't know if we're going to have a race or not". One thing that's often overlooked these days is the power struggle that was going on between the FIA and the non-Ferrari manufacturers, who were always going on about forming a breakaway series. I wouldn't be surprised if that had an impact on the FIA being so against the idea of running a non-championship race or letting the teams run a race themselves. If they pulled it off, what was to stop them organising an entire championship on their own?

This has been so well edited

Add the 2021 hungarian grand prix

Ah yes, the time when F1 made their best Gran Turismo 4 impression

No one will ever forget the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

I was at this race and I'll never forget it. Remember hearing rumors in the morning it may happen but then all cars came out for the warmup and we thought it was back on and then watching them peel off was surreal. Left our seats and just walked around during the race watching the riot police came out as angry fans were starting to get rowdy.

Came here after 2021 Belgium Gp ......And I can tell you , that was the worst race ever ......4 hours of waiting just to watch a 2 lap of so called " race" .....

wait till you see hungary 2021

as a Portuguese that was the best race ever, Tiago Monteiro finished at 3rd place and it was the first and still only podium of a Portuguese driver in the history of Formula 1 still remember that race as a kid, everyone on the news talking about it, chaos and the great achievement Monteiro did

Love your videos! Loved this one!
