Top 10 One-Off Podiums in F1 

Maldonaldonaldo finishing 1st both in qualification and Race was one of the most random things i ever watched

Kobayashi and the crowd in Japan gave me chills. Shame he isn't in F1 anymore.

Hulkenberg triggered

No.1 Nico Hulkenbe--- oh wait. **cries**

That moment when you realize Pastor Maldonado has more wins and podiums than Nico Hulkenberg...

2004: Sato is 3rd in Indianapolis 2018: Sato wins the Indy 500.

Pedro knew what he was doing lol

Ahhh the 2012 season. Where we had 7 different winners in the first 7 races and where a Sauber could qualify and finish in 3rd position. Nowadays we can predict the Top 6 finishes for every race if everything goes down normally.

Kamui Kobayashi is really great talented racer and still deserves comeback in F1.

KAMUI! This is why F1 is Great.

What about that of Kevin Magnussen? Finished on the podium in his first ever race. I bet only a few have done that!

When you see all those average drivers with podium... and you remember that HULKENBERG has not A SINGLE ONE yet!!!

Kobayashi Kamui 2012: 3rd 🥉 place podium at Japanese Grand Prix 2021: Le Mans 24hrs champion 🥇🏆 💪

Bring Kobayashi back in a F1 car... nice and fast guy

2012 was the best season of F1 in recent years.

Kobayashi deserves another chance in F1

Koboyashi should have been snapped up by a top team. He was great.

Sato, Kobayashi, i loved them both especially Sato. He was great with BAR and Super Aguri. Canada 2007, great drive. We need Japanese driver on the grid.

Indianapolis is in Takuma's blood

Maldonado's win at Spain is one of the most legendary moments in the sport, it makes absolutely zero sense

Aguri, Taku, Kamui...3 Japanese in Top 10! Thanks Formula 1 channel!!!

I miss Kamui

Barcelona 2012, a legend finished 1st... At least he won a race, and i think he is a good driver...👍

Kamui deserved more podiums

Robin Raikkonen = 1 Felipinho Massa = 1 Hulkenberg = 0

Takama&Aguri&Kamui‼️

Pedro de la Rosa the GOAT

Maldonado, die lebende Legende

1:02 I know Petrov and Vettel were friends, Alonso did not know it ;-)

Pedro de la Rosa knew what he was doing before it was cool

Aguri！Takuma！Kamui！

Ahhh Kamui Kobayashi....what an exciting driver to watch. Made in the Toyota family just like Kazuki Nakajima, but stayed on for way longer in the sport in teams that had nothing to do with Toyota. In this day of paydrivers like Stroll and Ericsson, that in itself is impressive.

I liked Kamui and Maldonado's podium 😜

I remember Monteiro and the whole team went straight up partying all night long after the race He's still the only portuguese to ever get a podium

Never understood why Kobayashi lost his f1 seat. Was always a quick exciting driver with brilliant overtaking skills, mega in the wet too

日本人が３人とも入ってる。嬉しいね（　´∀｀）

0:35 When Pedro saw that it was raining, he was like ''wait a second... I said it was gonna rain, and it rained? Thank you, God'' (For those who don't know the story, Pedro usually fails the weather prediction. For example, before the Hungarian GP Qualifying session, he said ''it's not going to rain at all'', and we all know what happened hahaha)

Kamui kobayashi... legend... truly missed... great podium in japan for him... great turn of speed... great overtaker...

Kamui

4. Tiago Monteiro 🇵🇹 (Jordan) Race #9 : Grille : 17e | Finish : 3e

Next: top 10 wins at home. Hard to see Brazil 2008 again

Interesting fact about Takuma Sato. His biggest achievements in Formula 1 and IndyCar happened at Indianápolis Motorspeedway. Podium and Indy500

Damn... Petrov, Kamui, even the Maldonator. Miss all of you guys! =(

Yes! Three Japanese drivers!! Aguri, Takuma, Kamui I’m glad!!

and Sato went on to win the Indi 500 13 years later!

Still remember my hero's podium. Petrov!

Half of these comments are about Lord Maldonado 30% About Hulkenberg 10% De La Rosa 10% some other bs

3:55 Three legends...

I really can't believe you remembered Aguri Suzuki but forgot Roberto Moreno, whose only podium finish was on the SAME RACE.

Grande Pedro De La Rosa!!!!

1:22 ayy they spelled Thid instead of Third

2004 Sato 3rd in Indianapolis, 2017 Sato 1st in Indi- 500.👊👊👊

Jyrki Järvilehto had so much potential ( He were maybe faster than Mika Häkkinen back in their karting days) but sadly he had dangerous crash in Silvestone before the 1994 season. By my knowing his neck never recovered from that and it could be intresting to see what he could do with 1994 Benetton as healthy.

1:35 God I miss those days. That V10

Tiago Monteiro the only portuguese podium. Still a good memory

1:30 And to think he won another race here going the opposite direction. I think Sato is the only driver to podium in both the US GP and the Indianapolis 500

The only person who holds the record for not getting a podium is Nico hulkenberg I think I really hope that he gets a podium at some point

I miss Kobayashi

Sato's only podium came at the track where years later he would triumph as an Indycar driver. Interesting

Maldonado, the last victory of Williams, I think.

Honorable mention Nicola Larini: He fought against Michael Schumacher for victory in the tragic 1994 San Marino grand prix and finished second

0:52 " Don't panic on the pit wall guys, I know what I was doing."

Takuma Sato and kamui Kobayashi the best asian driver in formula one 👍👍👍

Like Max on Kimi in the US 2017, incredible overtake! Formule 1 is so fun to watch! Oh wait...

Hulkenberg getting a podium will be the = Leo getting an Oscar The internet is going to explode (Or atleast r/formula1)

7. Takuma Sato 🇯🇵 (BAR-Honda) Race #27 : Grille : 3e | Finish : 3e

2012 was the best season in modern f1. Period.

JJ 😍 Lots of talent, lots of bad luck though..

When Sato overtook Panis, he knew he would have to do that to Castroneves at the 500 2017.

That shot of Sato flying past at 1:33 was insane. I know modern camera angles are set up to include sponsors. This is devaluing the on-car branding, diverting money from the teams to the tracks/media owners and reducing the camera operator's ability to make engaging shots, focused purely on action. What liberty media are doing on RU-vid is great but the actual live TV broadcast needs way better camera work with less of these wide sponsor shots. Too many decisions in the sport have been made at the expense of audience enjoyment, this is just another one.

Pedro knew what he was doing, long before kimi did...

For me Kamui in his Home GP was the best

I guess Kimi was channelling Pedro with his leave me alone quote. Still hard to believe Maldonado won a race

How could you forgot Roberto Moreno? That was one of the most satisfying moments in F1 history. And people also always forgot about Nicola Larini finishing 2nd in the infamous 94 San Marino GP. That was his last race for Ferrari.

Congratulations to all these guys who finished podiums.

It's amazing to see the pure joy they get from making the podium, even if it's only third place. And you can see the other drivers are exited for them aswell. Great video!

I will continue to support Kamui Kobayashi.

The crowd chanting "Ka-mu-i" at Suzuka 2012 still gives me chills. Miss him in F1, he was such a great talent with plenty of raw speed, shown by him smashing the Le Mans record 2 years ago and getting pole again this year, going faster than even Fernando Alonso.

"I know what i was doing" words of Pedro De La Rosa "Leave me alone, i know what i am doing" words of Kimi Raikonnenn

I miss Roberto Moreno's Japan '90 podium at this video.

Oh man, no matter how many times I see it, I still well up seeing Kobayashi's podium.

2012: Leave me along I know what I'm doing 2006: I know what I was doing

K A M U I

1:22 a rare moment where f1 makes a typo, if your curious the caption says "thid"

Two world Champions lifting Maldonado on their shoulders........... Disturbing!!!!

I saw Takuma and I remembered last year in Indy 500....

I remember the podium at hungary 2006 with Button in first, de la Rosa in second and Heidfeld in third position and for me this was the happiest podium I have seen in F1. :) Of all those drivers in these top 10 list I think Andretti was the worst of all. Unbelievably weak on track and a shame for McLaren. Sure the Car was 1993 not so good as in the years before but one race before his last at monza he had only 3 (!) points and Senna in comparison had 53 points... :-/

3. Jyrki Järvilehto 🇫🇮 (Scuderia Italia) Race #10 : Grille : 16e | Finish 3e

De La Rosa : I know what I was doing ...Oh.

Seriously that Maldonado's victory, which in a race that looked more like a parade of cars that did nothing, was considered in this top 10 the best. Kamui Kobayashi's P3 was much more magical for many of us. Maldonado dropped off the pole and won. Nothing else. Kobayashi on the pace got that P3.

Shame Kamui was dropped the following year - he didn't get as many podiums as Perez, but only finished 6 points behind him. It was probably more down to the lack of Japanese involvement in the sport at the time.

That 2012 Sauber 😍😍

Kamui the last driver from japan get podium in Race F1

1:02 vettel loves petrov. The man literally helped him win his first world championship 😆

亜久里さん、琢磨、可夢偉は日本の誇り！！！

Man, F1 should make a video on Kobayashi's brilliance. He deserves it.

Just wait till Pastor makes his comeback!

There are three other drivers with only one podium which was a win: Giancarlo Baghetti in his debut race at the 1961 French GP driving for Ferrari, Jo Bonnier at the 1959 Dutch Grand Prix, which was also the first victory for BRM in Formula 1, and Peter Gethin at Italy 1971 with BRM too

That’s a historical win! Maldonado finishes without crashing into anybody

Kubayashi ❤
