What's the deal with Tatiana Calderon? 

Is she a good driver? Compared to me: Yes Compared to her peers: Nah

4:03 "She finished behind Jesus", me searching for Antonio Giovinazzi

“Beat everyone not worthy of a Wikipedia page” is a line I’m going to have to use now

9th in the 24hr is a really impressive feat imo for that team. If I was any of those drivers, I'd be looking towards WEC as a career.

F1 had Senna vs Prost, F2 had Calderon vs Lord Mahaveer 😎

Calderon: *exists* Lord Mahaveer: _finally, a worthy opponent_

The black screen moment when mentioning Hubert was a nice touch. My brain still does that whenever he's mentioned in this type of context. A sort of 'oh fuck that's still true' moment.

I have to give Tatiana a "tip of the hat" for her performance in the Indy GP today. She finished 16th out of 27 & on the lead lap in constantly changing weather/track surface conditions. She didn't throw it off of the track or take anybody out: Something that too many others can't claim this evening. :)

not actually “wtf happened to calderon”, but “what’s the deal with calderon” 😁

The most painful thing of this video was Josh saying *BO-GOAT-A*

Hey, Colombian here, I wanted to give some insight about our motorsports situation and Tatiana Calderón. First and foremost, Colombia is a poor country when it comes to motorsports, there´s few options really to get noticed unless you go abroad. Montoya did this correctly and because he pretty much said many times that he wasn't very thankful to the Colombian sports association, he's not very liked here, unless you're a die-hard racing fan. The only sport that is supported here is football and BMX only if your name is Mariana Pajón. That being said, as much as I'd like to see another Montoya being an absolute beast in CART-Indycar and F1, Calderón is not it. She's really solid and has shown progress, but much like young drivers in NASCAR, she's being rushed just for marketing sake. I fear that she's gonna become the next Danica Patrick and we know how that ended. I see Tatiana Calderón becaming a solid sports car racer, either in IMSA or the LeMans series. Formula 1 or Formula 2 worthy? Not, unless she really has a break trhough season. Alfa Romeo/Sauber is just making her a marketing tool and there's nothing wrong with it, but she really should focus in other disciplines and excell there, like sports cars where she can stay for a long time and prove her worth. I don't want to see another Danica, much less coming from my country where very few drivers even got a chance or others just fade away, like Carlos Muñoz or Gustavo Yacamán. At this point, Colombia's best next prospect is Sebastián Montoya, but Calderón can be a great pole bearer for our flag in other racing series, if she commits to them instead of marketing her as the next female F1 driver.

Whenever I see Sean Galeal's face I hear "BRUHHHHHH".

Tbh Josh is making me aware of more drivers lol

I got her on MyTeam and she winning races all day every day...

She has what a lot of drivers lack to be fair, a good work ethic. Never giving up and seems to giver her all. She's like a player in the championship who has league 2 talent but premiership drive, and plays for a teams that finishes 15th every year.

RIP Dan Wheldon and Anthoine Hubert😢🙏

Wait Will Buxton?! TELL ME MORE!

All college students with debt: "I don't have enough superliscence points just yet"

What is it with mediocre drivers and failing upward? "See that driver who's been in GP3 for three years with only 20 points to her name? She'd be perfect for our F2 seat!"

Man 😂 when you said Bogotá as “bergowter” had me in stitches

I'm surprised she even got an F2 seat (money of course). She definetely has no future in F1.

She legit got less points than Lord Mahaveer, I think that sums up if she's any good or not...

Appreciate the fair takes, these videos are great. Still rough to relive the Weldon race though

These are for sure your best work! Love these videos. I think what could be really cool would be to make a video about a benchmark "rise through the ranks" so it were, to give reference to the performance of these lesser known drivers (how they compare to the likes of a Charles Leclerc or George Russel for example)

The Sean Gelael intro always gets me lol

Last time was this early alessio deledda hadn't even started racing yet

Aaaaaand she's back in F2 lol

here after she absolutely ploughed grosjean in a charity irace 💀

Let’s be honest here nobody would think anything of her if she wasn’t the only women in F2 recently

Tatiana Calderon is the only person I know just because of how much she retires

I think the fact she's avoided W Series is quite telling, personally, I think the likes of Jamie Chadwick would consistently outpace her. She's not a bad driver by any measure, but I think SuperFormula and maybe Formula E (although that's getting better each season) will be the sum of her career. Would love a WTF happened to Ma Qing Ha video. He was such a weird driver in FE - managed to get power overuse penalties despite being 4/5 seconds a lap off everyone else.

Rest in Peace Dan Wheldon. I'll never forget that moment his car left the ground and flew into the catch fence. Still breaks my heart.

If she wasn't female nobody would even mention her. You have to deserve your place

When you’re so early that Mahaveer hasn’t been mentioned yet

Your content has always been good, but recently it's definitely been taken up a level, keep it up bro!

I remember the Wheldon accident being so unexpected and feeling stupid about my views and expectations on motorsport afterwards. On another note, pretty sure Ive seen Calderon drive in F3 And yeah, just finishing LeMans is a feat in itself, 9th isn't bad at all, especially in the ultra competitive LMP2 class

Anyone faster than the Lord himself are good in my books 🙃

"Jagonya Ayam" roughly translated means Chicken's Champion, kind of a fitting title for Sean

that was really smooth ad transition josh, NGL

Honestly, she has talent. She just really needs to work on her pace and consistency, which IndyCar is showing has potential to improve.

4:08 Good transition, have to give so much respect for commiting to that

"á": *exist* Josh: That thing can't stop, because I don't know Spanish

There is literally 0% chance of her ever getting to an F1 race seat

Josh, that segue into the ad was so smooth, Carlos Sainz should sing about it.

Being a Dutchy and hearing him say Beitske Visser and then apologising made my day

It just makes me happy whenever a notification from this channel appears. :) Awesome job with the videos I always have a blast and laugh a lot watching. About Tatiana... Maybe it is because I'm also latin american (mexican) but I find her truly beautiful plus I really like her facial expression and the way she conducts herself, on camera, she always look so calm and peaceful. On track, I want to be positive and think that she just has not developed her full potential yet. It would be awesome to cheer for a latin american woman in F1.

Also worth noting that she'll be full time in the WEC as well this year with the same team/car. I really hope they can do well there

okay my man this was a smoooooth transition to the sponsor, I didn't even realize it, so smoooth, good job!

The transition was so good that i took 20 seconds to realize that i am in the middle of an ad

I just love how you break down drivers careers and stats and the little jokes! Keep it up man

Always happy to see a new video of yours, keep it up mate :)

Love your style! Easily the most enjoyable to see/hear. Good mix of humor and facts 😅👌🏻 Ps: how about a vid on Jan Magnussen?

I hope everyone has a nice day

It is so good to see antoine hubert. Rest in peace antoine hubert and dan wheldon😭😭😭😭😭

Hearing correa anthione and weldon does bring back some emotions

Honestly i'm just here for the smooth Skillshare introduction challenge ! ^^ Always nice to follow your work !

that sponsor transition was pretty smooth wow

Tatiana: I want to compete in GP3 GP3: DAMS GIRL, CHILL OUT

I learn about alot of different series of racing (school is always in session) great vid my g

Kinda messed up that there is an ad just on dan's death. Suppose it was automatic, but still

8:38 Don't worry Josh, I'll help you with that :) Nikita Troitskiy is a Russian driver from the SMP Racing driver academy. Well, he competed in 2018 European F3 season for Carlin with a few podiums, and I think that's all what I know about him.

Those three dislikes is from Tatiana and her fan pages 😂

And now in 2022.... partial IndyCar seat with A.J. Foyt. 12 races, street and road, no ovals. Team-mates are Dalton Kellett, who finished 23rd in the championship in his first full season last year, and Kyle Kirkwood, who won the Indy Lights championship in 2021 in dominating fashion, but hasn't raced in IndyCar yet. Calderon's unlikely to do anything of note compared with Kirkwood, but it will be fascinating to see if she can do better than Kellett.

I was shaking in anticipation on the moment Lord Rags theme tune was played. You didn't disappoint :D

What´s the deal? Well, she thought she was better than she actually is.....

You know what after you did the Michelle Mouton video I was sitting there thinking how long is it going to take before he addresses this Tatiana Calderon thing well here we are

Dan Wheldon crash :/. Thank God open wheel cars avoid these kind of tracks for the most part these days. Except for some reason, Texas stays on the NTT IndyCar schedule.

So she's the F1 version of Danica Patrick

7 viewers and all of them commented in the same time that’s loyalty my friend

I really hope drivers like this don’t get into F1. Everything is about money nowadays

Good video, Josh. Really enjoyed it.

That transition into the ad was way too smooth lmao

Best F1 channel on RU-vid!

Fantastic video, never really knew much about her, that Indy story is quite sad for her, she has had struggles and shown some page rarely, but isn't the best, she is good enough to make a career out of it

Good vid as always. Out of curiosity, has Josh got any real world racing experience?

That transition to the Skilshare sponsor spot was almost as smooth as Linus's.

That "bruuuuuh" always catch me by surprise. Every time

6:58 this driver was more dangerous than Maldonado/ de Cesaris combined judging from the photo

Do a video about Felix da Costa, I am Portuguese and I like your channel a lot. Keep up with the amazing work you have been doing! 👌

I'm loving seeing josh bring these names to a wider audience, they deserve the publicity for mostly the wrong reasons.

Could you do one on either Katherine Legge, or Christina Nielsen? As of now I would say they are the best female drivers in the world alongside Jamie Chadwick.

Calderon is the Mahaveer that actually made it to F1

To be fair, she's more "deserving" of being around F1 than Susie Wolff ever was

I remember her racing in Star Mazda years ago, an I honestly thought that she had some talent. I didn't know that she switched to racing in Europe because of what happened to Wheldon. Personally, I wish she would have stayed on the Road to Indy. She probably doesn't belong in Indycar, but I think she would have had a smoother time developing her skills as a racer.

3:21-3:34 RIP Dan Wheldon, that day was one of the darkest days in AOWR history. That race shouldn't have been celebrated at Las Vegas, that track was too fast for indy cars at the time and with the current ones it'd be even faster. Michigan or Fontana were much better tracks to host the race in my opinion. Otherwise great video Josh!

I think the loss of Hubert definitely affected her and the team more than people realise. The switch to endurance seems to be suiting her better and think that's where she will end up excelling more She's not a bad driver but the was definitely a lot of pressure and focus with some tragedy which impacted her career. She still has a role to play at Alfa Romeo but don't think will break through but it will help her career where she is now

will they have to tell the rest of the F1 field to slow down for the sake of equality, or should i say equity?

Please continue making these videos!!!!!!!!

I’m more of a Sophia Flörsch fan myself 😁

she literally older than carlos sainz, why is she even trying anymore

I was waiting for this🤩

I think being given an F2 seat has been a magnet to attract a lot of criticism, since it sets a high bar. If it wasn't for that we'd probably be praising her as a persistent and occasionally capable rookie with experience across a variety of series. Sadly premature promotion has been a career killer for many a driver.

Short answer: no Long answer: N O

I wish you could a video on contemplating if Danica Patrick was ever a good driver

can i just say that was the smoothest transition into a sponsorship

No matter what she does in terms of her career, her smile and beauty always melt me. :)

What about Sophia Floersh, she's very quick right? Edit: nvm I just looked her up, she's not much better, if not worse😅

3:19 when I heard the commentator I immediately knew which race it was. :(

Man I love your videos specially your humor in writing 🤣🤣

Really good investigation work. Agree on all conclusions. She's far from F1 material, she's substantially overrated by her compatriots and has had *way* more opportunities in the European single-seater scene than she merited... but she's still a very decent driver and deserves none of the hate she got in 2019. I honestly think many people in this community need to learn to respect all drivers even if they're not very skilled (unless they're complete melts like... you know who). I'm not her fan but Tatiana is a great person and I wish her the best.
