Top 10 Unusual Moments in F1 

Frank Williams’ face when the third car qualified with the same time 🥺 he loved racing so much.

The person who still has that diamond and watching the video like: "Yes, it's a shame they never found it 😏"

The most unusual moment is when Michael Schumacher drove like 4 kilometers back to the pit lane on rainy 1998 Belgian GP with three wheels only

"Wasn't this one built so that the front wouldn't fall off?" "Obviously not." "How do you know?" "Because the front fell off!"

"It is light out and away we go for Lewis Hamilton only!" Gets me every time 😂

buemi still tries to steer with no tyres, instinct is a beautifull thing

The most unusual moment in recent memory is the rain filled Belgian GP, 4 hours of absolutely nothing happening

The smile on Michael's face when he realised the time was identical 😁

Europe 1997 quali was incredible, 3 drivers getting exactly the same time is really unusual

Lewis: Bono my tires are gone Buemi: First time?

Hamilton's one man grid was a literal definition of "We Race as One"

Senna setting the fastest lap in the pit lane.. Schumacher winning Silverstone GP in the pit lane.. We need more pit lane racing for sure!!

Seeing Schumy make those hand signs just brought a huge smile onto my face it just shows how much smarts the guy has

its so nice to see a relationship like schumacher and barrichello

For me, the most bizarre aspect of Austria 2002 was that the FIA then fined Ferrari, Schumacher & Barrichello for not following the correct podium protocol.

How about Hans Heyer failing to qualify for the 1977 German GP, but sneaking out of the pits and starting the race illegally for his one and only GP start? Only driver to ever DNQ, DNF and DSQ in the same race!

7:56 I love how Micheal just danced his way to the flag. You gotta love that.

Last year was the first time I ever went to see a F1 Race, went to the Hungaroring, with a reputation of some boring races, ohh man did I get my moneys worth ! That was one exciting race to see !

The fact that 3 drivers from 2 different teams managed to set the EXACT same quali time in the same quali session is just universally implausible. Absolutely amazing.

5:35 That is why Schumacher is one of the greats. Only Vettel matches him for awareness and intelligence. Vettel knows the rules better than anyone else in F1, and Schumacher knew how to use *ALL* of the technology available to him in the car, including the onboard camera

"Unusual moments in F1" _Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?_

Buemi still tried to steer even after the wheels came off.... that is one of the craziest moments in F1

Buemi still steering with no wheels reminds me of Mark Webber on Top Gear when Clarkson showed him a picture of his car literally vertical AND like 15 feet off the ground at Le Mans and then said 'I bet tou were still hitting the brakes' Webber just smiled and said 'of course'

1995 Italy would also fit. Gerhard Berger in 2nd retired because he was hit by the tv camera of the leading car, his teammate Jean Alesi, who eventually retired as well.

What about Christian Fittipaldi backflipping over the finish line in the 1993 Italian GP?

If senna didn’t slow down he might still have the donington lap record

The most unusual F1 moment for me was when Chase Carey showed up to the office in his pyjamas... true story

1:27 I love Frank Williams' expression in that moment.

2021 Hungary: Lewis "could not get the better of Alpine's Esteban Ocon." okay, so we're just ignoring Alonso's monster-like defending?

In monza 2019 was the funniest "Thats a interesting tactic to keep pole position,you just don't need to do the lap"

The most unusual moment was Mazepin at the 2021 Bahrain GP setting an unprecedented record of completing more formation laps than race laps.

@12:20 the missing Jaguar diamond was clearly pocketed by the Ocean's 12 crew before the race even began in some elaborate trickery heist. Coincidence that Ocean's 12 plot is precisely about that? I think not!

Well, I sure love unusual moments. They help make races exciting.

The most unusual moment for me in 2021 is Russell scoring P2 through technicality in Belgian GP.

1:38 not only did Villeneuve, Schumacher and Frentzen all post the exact same lap time, they also crossed the line doing the exact same speed

2:38 crazy how you can see the trail of wind from the rear wing

No wonder you guys at @Formula1 did not include the 6 car 2005 United States Grand Prix. That was a shame BUT I think it would have deserved a spot here.

The most unusual moment for me was Mazepin not spinning once in Monaco.

That Hungoring race will never be forgotten, only 1 person on the start line 🤣💀

No moment beats the Belgian GP last year when Mazepin had the fastest lap of the race!

That one man start at the Hungarian gp is 100% unbeatable. You can never start a race with 0 cars on the grid😂

*Hamilton blows a tyre* Red bull pit wall: “Mcqueens blown a tyre McQueens blown a tyre go go go go go go

in search of Gold, we lost a Diamond 🤣 - Jaguar

15:03 that's called muscle memory, the natural instincts of a driver, I reckon most drivers would do the same I think Sébastien Buemi was underrated in F1, would have been interesting to see what he could do in a front-running team

So in order to beat Buemi s record you have to lose at least 3 tyres at once during your rookie year? Now that's hard.

I love how Buemis reflexes still kicked in even though the reason he was crashing was also the reason he couldn't steer.

Hamilton being alone on the grid is still one of my favourite moments, I was loosing my mind the entire time it was incredible

Ayrton Senna passing four cars on the first lap: Greatest lap in F1 history Kimi at Portimao 2020: Bwoah.

The disappearance of the diamond in the Jaguar car is just BRUH MOMENT😂

Jack Brabham running out of fuel during the 1957 Pescara GP and filling up from a roadside petrol station deserves to be on the list.

San Marino in 84 or 85 everyone ran out of fuel. Adelaide 1995 Damon wins by two whole laps from 2nd Panis who was on fire. Alboreto 1985 driving his car on fire in the pitlane to protest ferrari. Giovanni Lavaggi not realizing he is on fire 1996. Graham Hill pushing his own car back on to the track to win in Monaco 1965 I think. FOCA FISA hotel scandal Kyalami 1982. Nigel passing out pushing his Lotus in the heat 1984 dallas I think. Taki Inoue hit by safety car Hungary 1994 or 95.

12:50 that’s so beautiful

6:28 "valterry vottas" hahah

Silverstone 1998 shows how smart and intelligent Schumacher was while driving an f1 car in torrential conditions

I like how F1 greats like Schumacher, Senna & Hamilton are mostly in these unusual moments

8:53 that is so wholesome

I can listen to Murray Walker say Jack Veal Noov all day

Senna accidentally setting a lap record by going through the pits is kinda of a flex lol

7:43 this is what nobody mentions when they mention "Let Michael pass for the championship" just so they can paint a bad picture on Michael. Michael gave Rubens the win back

"Confusion Rained" 13:34 i see what you did there

13:11 Pit board displaying 'PENALTY' and a massive arrow. "When did you decide to come in Michael?" 13:54 You thought you had a problem with the car? Classic Schumacher!

12:00 you don't just loose a $300,000 diamond a go "to this day nobody know the answer"

11:07 Kudos to the cameraman for taking this shot, it's amazing

I remember Lewis Hamilton pulling into the wrong pit and his previous team’s pit crew waving him out whilst his current team beckoning him in blowing my mind!! I just couldn’t believe that at the time…

how agile is an old formula 1 car? me: 7:55

Can't blame Buemi for steering, it would have been absolute instinct, decisions made in fractions of a second haha unlucky tbf

imagine setting the fastet time and still starting in the second row.

2:58 like he was passing through the bar to see if his friends were there

5:49 that 5 wheel pit stop tho

2003 French GP Qualifying 1st session - Jos Verstappen quickest in a Minardi due to the drying track 2011 Malaysian GP - Vitaly Petrov running wide and rejoining the track by launching his car off a kerb and flying through the air 2013 Korean GP - Organisers sending a fire truck on to the circuit in front of the leaders, whilst the race was still live 2007 European GP - Markus Winkelhock leading in a Spyker in his only F1 appearance after a heavy downpour 1993 Italian GP - Marco Apicella retiring after 800 yards of the race, in his only F1 appearance 1996 Italian GP - Installing tyre stacks on the chicanes, which were hit during the race sending tyres flying everywhere on more than one occasion 2013 German GP - Jules Bianchi retiring from the race, only for his Marussia to roll backwards down the track as the race was still live 2003 Malaysian GP - Justin Wilson retiring from the race due to temporary paralysis

People forget Damon Hill almost got pole at the '97 European Grand Prix but for Ukyo Katayama causing yellow flags on the last sector of the circuit. Even still he dragged that dog of an Arrows to only 0.058 seconds behind.

One of my favorites was Michael Schumacher coming second behind Damon Hill with his car stuck in fifth gear for most of the race including a pitstop. A brilliant bit of adaptive driving

D.Hill qualifying 4th by 0.58 in the Arrows is pretty impressive at Jerez 97

0:21 It was moments like this that made it impossible for me to ever cheer for Schumacher when he was racing. However, now I do cheer for him. I hope he gets better.

Poor Buemi trying to steer with no wheels is so funny :D

No. 10 - What impresses me more was Damon Hill in 4th being only 0.058 secs behind. In an Arrows!

Honourable mentions: Mark Webber vomiting in Fuji 2007 Lewis Hamilton losing the title in China 2007 David Coulthard crashing while driving to the pits in Adelaide 1995 Olivier Panis winning at Monaco in 1996 which only 3 cars still standing

Schumacher giving the trophy away was such a class act. He knew the other guy deserved it and was robbed by the bigheads. What a guy🫡

9:12 you can feel in schumis voice that schumi wanted to gift the win instead of going equal. The smile too. Great man. Werd' gesund, Schumi, werd' gesund !

It’s so wild watching these old cars and seeing how “bare” they are in terms of safety. The cockpits feel so exposed!

What about verstappens engine cover flying off in 2015 monza

I'd say one of the most remarkable memory of F1 for me would be when Nelson Piquet drifted his car to overtake Arton Senna in 1986 Hungary Grandprix 💯💯 Greatest overtake in F1 history!!.

Vettel overtake at the pitlane is something that will unlikely to happen again

14:59 Front wheels: "We didn't get paid enough for this, Jimmy... Lets bail out... 3,2,1 go!"

Bottas going bowling will forever traumatize me as a rb fan

I like how Buemi tries to countersteer even after the front wheels have come off

Gotta love the smile of Sir Frank Williams

I like Schumacher's gestures when he pulled into pits to serve his penalty. He's like "we're done, right, I win?"

Wouldve loved to see webber taking off his helmet in 2013 here

"Without his precautionary stop, Verstappen would have most certainly won." Are you sure about that? How do we know Max's tire wouldn't have blown as well?

12:50 That move made me remember why I loved Schummy so much when I was a kid!

I love this commentator, feels like I'm Agent 47 learning about F1.

I suspect the diamond in the nose to be a bit of a red herring. One of the nosecone functions is frontal crash protection... to suggest anyone would put an expensive diamond into it for race (especially monaco) would be dubious of sanity (not only odds of losing it but to interfere with it's performance if there was a crash). Noone would insure that & i suspect the crash engineers wouldn't be keen on it either.

Great to hear Murray at the start.

Lol. I love Martin’s “come on guys..”

i definitely remember some of these! great idea for a video. Thanks F1!

9:15 - We failed a little bit -Schumi. Man... being finish so close even a sec it is not an easy task. So it isn't failed at all.

i think whenever there is something to do with "unusual" kimi is not far behind.

Formula 1 top ten video. The first line every time. Formula 1 is the pinnacle of Motorsport

No 2007 Markus Wilckenhock pitting before the race and leading in his debut? We need a part 2!
