There might have been a legacy from the 60s on. But sadly, Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips died in the 1961 Italian GP, handing the championship to his team mate Phil Hill. After that we had gifted drivers such as Jochen Maas, Hans-Joachim Stuck and Stefan Bellof, who tragically lost his life in the 80s in a race in Spa. But then, the golden era came. Michael and Ralf Schumacher, Heinz-Harald Frentzen, Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg all won for Germany. Schumi made F1 incredibly popular here. He's a legend and a role model. And with Schumi, many talents came to F1. Nick Heidfeld, Nico Hülkenberg, Adrian Sutil, Timo Glock and don't forget Pascal Wehrlein! Oh, and NOONE CAN BREAK THE WINKELROCK! Master of strategy and all around a clever fella!
And the Brazil, a non european country with so much more poverty in the top3 without drivers in the very begin of the f1 and nowdays and sadly we can see in the 1994 the last race of Ayrton and when Schumacher have started collecting the wins bc the man cant win without a good car and with good drivers racing with him
Schumi making more than half of germanys wins and vettel making more than a quarter of the wins just shows the quality of those two drivers in particular. Also ham making about a third of the wins from the most dominant country is stating a lot about him.
Britain: 67 million people Germany: 83 million people Brazil: 212 million people France: 67 million people Finland: 5 million people Australia: 25 million people Italy: 59 million people Austria: 8 million people Finland has done pretty well. Also we've had only 9 drivers in F1. 7 of them has stood on the podium (Salo should be a winner and has that winner's trophy), 5 of them are race winners (4 of them multiple), 3 of them are World Champions. Also Nico Rosberg is half Finnish but let Germany have him :)
even if Nico Rosberg would be half Finnish, he has grown up in Germany and had way more German influence than Finnish influence, so in total he would be more German than Finnish xD
NO mention to Argentina and Fangio who singlehandly make it top 1 even after their retirement for a couple years? Up to 1984 Argentina was second with only a couple drivers in F1
@@MKF1_official Yeah, I can see why people would think that way, but he doesn't even speak Finnish but speaks German natively (I'm German) So it makes sense to count him as German. The only other possibility would be Monaco as he grew up there and also speaks English and French
@@mattiamarchese6316 Rosberg parla italiano? :o L'ho sentito parlare tedesco, francese, inglese e alcune parole in spagnolo ma non sapevo che parla anche italiano
In Australia, we have a common saying "Fangin it" which means to go/drive really fast. Many don't even know the origins but it's been a common saying for 70+ years, named after the great Fangio.
Monaco has only about 40k People , from which are under 10K even have Monaco citizenship , thats some bad chance to get someone like Leclerc. Maybe in 70 years we see one again, well atleast if we still alive then.
The scary thing about this is that if you took Lewis Hamilton's wins in isolation, the UK would still be top and Hamilton would be in 3rd place by himself.
@@dantheman3022 It's not a UK sport though is it? F1 was a French creation. It just so happens that many F1 teams happen to be based in the UK because that's where the engineering expertise is.
I had the same reaction, when his victories started to appear in the video I was joking and saying that the legend was on, but then the year 1994 appeared and I was silent.
His last win is in Adelaide 1993. Senna's last ever moments in the country known for kangaroos. Ironically, 1 year later, at the same track, produces a new world champion through a controversial manner (both championship rivals ended up DNF).
I don’t know why but I find this video extremely relaxing to watch. I guess the combination of the gentle music and voiceover. It has an almost melancholy quality. I’m not even really into F1, though I did still find it interesting. But I’ve been playing it on a daily basis just to recapture the mood. Anyway, probably not what you intended when you made it but great job man. 👍
I've watched a lot of your videos, but your commentary takes it to a whole new level. Subbed and liked. Any chance of something on the 1983 South African GP? (The only one I've ever been to.)
@@rafaelandre7326 joo voi mennä pari vuotta ilman kuskia kokonaan. Eikä Bottaksen Alfasiirto välttämättä tuo paljoa menestystä. Mutta ihan varmasti tulee joku vielä tulevaisuudessa. Ferrarin ohjelmassa tais olla joku nyt vielä aika nuori nimi
Great Britain has 308 wins? This is a whopping number! Netherlands only has 20 wins so far and all of them are claimed by their golden boy, Max Verstappen! #supermax
@@Adama.1 If F1 is indeed a British sport, they would've never allowed nationalities other than Great Britain to compete in this sport but since they always call themselves a global sport, they still let all nationalities compete in this sport, even though they're still biased to their own nationality!
@@Adama.1 ah yes the "British sport" that has a French governing body, the FIA, a French word for its events, in its first season had 1 race in Britain, 1 in the USA and the other 5 in mainland Europe. Had mostly 18 French drivers, 13 Brits, 13 Italians etc.
@@Adama.1 Because its genesis, its creation, its origin is important to whether of not it is a British Sport. You claimed there were so many British drivers because its a British sport. It wasn't invented in Britain. What is your basis for calling it a British sport?
@@tamakin8543 before Alonso there was only 1 podium for Spain. When Alonso retired from McLaren he had all 32 victories of Spanish drivers and 97 of the 99 podiums.
I like how Jochen Rindt and Niki Lauda are the only austrian racers... without them we would have not been on this list well maybe Gerhard Berger, but he only won once
@Adam Petten , Alboreto was a superb driver imo, whereas Fisichella left much to be desired, with many driving mistakes, getting nervous, somewhat mentally weak...His participation with Ferrari was really dissapointing.
@@alejandrop.s.3942 He had already been humbled by Alonso...then Kovalainen...the car was doo doo and Giancarlo was old. Alboreto was good but humbled by Berger who was not the greatest himself...though very fast. Alboreto was not superb. He was more than adequate...unless you wanted to really challenge Prost in 1985. He didn't get everything out of the car. Fisichella was impressive until he became a wingman.
Hi MKF1! Cool stuff. It be interesting to see this as a ratio of their population size. I.e. per capita. Curious to see how the ranking would look like.
Not sure if there would be any meaningful value from that because of how things get skewed at the extreme ends. For example, now that Leclerc has 3 wins, that puts Monaco’s per capita wins to be 16 x higher than UK or 7 x higher than Finland… after just 3 wins! At the other end of the scale, even if China had 10,400,000 wins, its per capita wins would still be less than Monaco’s. You would have to divide the wins by number of drivers taking part from each country and even then you would have to put a minimum number of drivers to qualify for the count, coz Monaco would still win hands down after just 3 wins.
If you compare the wins per capita, Finland wins UK by 300% Finnish drivers have driven for last 40 years, and during that time they made 56 wins, compared to 200 by UK drivers. Finland: 5 million people. UK, has around 60 million.
I see people commenting on counting the wins per capita / population size. Not sure if there would be any meaningful value from that because of how things get skewed at the extreme ends. For example, now that Leclerc has 3 wins, that puts Monaco’s per capita wins to be 16 x higher than UK or 7 x higher than Finland… after just 3 wins, because they only have a population of 40,000! At the other end of the scale, even if China had 10,400,000 wins, its per capita wins would still be less than Monaco’s 3 wins! You would have to divide the wins by number of drivers taking part from each country and even then you would have to put a minimum number of drivers to qualify for the count, coz Monaco would still win hands down after just 3 wins.
Yet, in the Uk, if you asked the man on the street to name a sport they'd say football, cricket, tennis, even two different types of rugby long before somebody suggested motor racing. Then somebody would say, 'Oh yeah' and then go on about running or horse racing.
Probably. The only other country besides Japan and China that haven't had an F1 win that are represented in F1 this season would Thailand through Alex Albon.
Well in reality, only a handful of nations actually take part in formula 1 full time. Namely USA(nascar), Uk, a few european countries, mainly france, italy, germany, spain. Other countries have representatives only through other race events. (therefore not many actual F1 drivers or equivalent). So in reality the driver pool is very centered on just a handful of countries.
Imagine if Mick can become a winning driver :D .... The Schumacher family is already the greatest racing fam ever with 97 wins combined (the Schumachers would be 3rd on the list and Germany still 4th with 82 wins).... but if Mick becomes great no other Family will ever break that record
In the 50s very often drivers in the same team were switching cars, because for example one broke down and they wanted their favourite to finish the race. In those cases both drivers were considered as winners
