Everytime I watch F1 video about some team being great...newey always pops up Hopium for aston martin. May Alonso becomes best rookie to win 3 championships

It just showed Prost was a great driver, but had no clue on running a team, and all the failure can only be pointed out to Prost, as everything really indicates. Too arrogant, too cocky, too stubborn. The comments he unfair and unexpected troubles against him is BS, that's part of F1. A proper F1 team leader or owner is able to overcome or deal with that, Prost made a 'typical' mess of things. That this is a fact and he hasn't learned of anything and is still as blatantly arrogant, was clear with Renault/Alpine recently. He was on board, but had a fallout, and the team went downwards with him present. That really tells you enough. Prost isn't right as a team leader/boss. He might be a benefit as a 'token', as a PR-type of guy, but nothing more. One has to wonder whether Ligier/Prost might have had actual success had they have had a proper team leader, like for example, Briatore. I'm not saying a 'good guy', i'm saying a proper, capable, team leader. Because if despite all this mismanagement and issues Prost managed to get podiums, then imagine if they had a proper team. It's actually a bit of a shame for Peugeot, really. And it reminds me of the fallout of Alpine this year, where Alpine blames Renault (Viry) for making incompetent engines, and Viry back at them. Because looking at the results at the end of the season - which makes me curious about 2025 - Ocon and Gasly making success at Interlagos and Gasly getting big points in the final races, showed that the Renault engine actually IS capable, and in the right hands (Oliver and Briatore) actually can perform.

If Senna had lived to see Prost's funny attempt at team ownership, what would he say?

Prost had some problems during his tint ar all French Renault 1981-84.

I sold prost merch

One of the best F1 livery aside from Mild Seven Renault.

Give him a Mercedes 👍

Alain thought the French had good engineering skills and organisation skills. Alain was wrong

BMW is putting their money in their M cars, M suv and Mini’s! And, making sure their Rolls Royce Yacht’s on wheels stay at the top of their games! 😆 True story. 😉

Bmw as an engine manufacturer may be the best engine manufacturer in the history of F1 but the teams that Bmw supplied, such as Williams, did not perform well enough compared to the engine used by Williams. If, for example, Mclaren had had a Bmw engine from 2000 to 2009, Mclaren would have won more races and more titles than Mercedes, However, Williams was not at the same level and with Sauber, the economic crisis of 2008 ruined all Bmw's plans for the 2009 season. Without the crisis, Bmw would have been able to perform very well, and in terms of engine performance, Bmw was the best in F1.

Toyota was another one that puzzled me. They dumped a bunch of money into their F1 program. Didn’t get the results they wanted and just gave up.

I don't wish they come back. Outside of F1, they currently have perfected the M division with the m2/m3/m4 having some of the best possible engines one would want. I would rather they continue perfecting those than choose to waste some money on some f1 car. Right now the m3 is one of the best price to performance cars I've ever seen, it handles amazingly for its weight, and its truly just such an engineering masterpiece. You look at AUDI & Mercedes who are pussying out and putting hybrids and Full Electric and then at BMW and you see the last good german brand outside of Porsche & Lamborghini.

Awesome video!

Hey, great video. I hope you'll be back soon :)

What was YK2 @1.25.... :)

BMW like to brag about their motorsport influence, yet they havent made an f1 entry for a long time. I wish they would though.

The funniest part about Peugeot claim at 6:40 about their engine made up for almost 800 HP their own driver Alesi even shot back at them by saying "If Peugeot could made up 800 HP then Ferrari and Mercedes engine should have made for almost 840-860 HP". In other words Alesi claim that Peugeot claim was a lie.

Why would you abandon car development while leading the championship? I guess Red Bull took inspiration here and continued upgrading the 2021 car.

Yes

The reason BMW quited F1 was they afraid with Mercedes and Ferrari

F1 a collection of dodgy geezers, Crooks and Con Men , money laundering ,, you name it... YUUK

It's a shame. The cars were beautiful, and sounded so good with the Peugeot engines!

Cheater winner when head of F1 put thumb on the scales

Blame Peugeot ; classic Prost!

I dont like bmw brand in general and i absolutely hate bmw drivers on the streets, but for some reason when bmw came to f1 with montoya and ralph i chose them as my favourite f1 team, while main battle were between mclaren and ferrari

Briatore bought ligier to get the Renault engines for Benetton.

As you had hinted at the start of your video: please do a series on Pascal Wehrlein : which I perceive to be one of the greatest injustices and travesty of F1: a driver of such great potential left out of F1 for political reasons. Pascal scored points in a Manor and Sauber with a two year old engine: the mark of a great potential. But something went wrong at a Force India test and the test was cut short and Otmar chose to pick on matters unrelated to his driving. This put paid to Pascals future as other Team Principals went along with Otmars evaluation of Pascal. A great driver discarded by F1 for the wrong reasons.

Panis was better than Alesi

peugeot went wrong... prost before launch wanted to quit

Very good video, and yes BMW must return to F1 in the future. BMW has a history and that you don't just throw away overnight..!

BMW had good engines but terrible car designs let them down, thanks to Sam Michael.

Im not native english speaker and you talk too fast for me to catch. Its a good video only need slower tempo for the voice over for someone like me to catch the words. Thanks

That BMW was quite a looker in 2008.. unfortunate they couldn't make it that year

Poor Kubica, can't imagine all the frustration he went through.

That "PlayStation" livery though...

Talk slower. Are you trying to finish your script before the end 10:54 ??

…also, re John Barnard: same career path as his friend and contemporary, Patrick Head. A supremely gifted mechanical engineer who during the early days of modern F1 aero had been good enough at that side of things to build cars as good aerodynamically as anyone else. However, once people like Newey turned up, who were qualified aeronautical engineers and downforce numbers formed an ever greater percentage of a car’s lap time as gizmo after gizmo was banned, their ability to influence the overall performance of their cars became diminished as the aero work had to be delegated to specialists within the team, probably lacking their own personal genius…

The problem with Prost was they inherited all the same cultural problems that had held Ligier back and did nothing to address them. As much as I like Prost as a driver, he was F1’s ultimate bad loser and as a result the worst person possible to take over Ligier and run an all French outfit. Was a shame what happened to Panis in 1997 though. I remember him well being one of the stars of the early season and he very definitely was never the same driver after that accident. Didn’t seem like a particularly big shunt either to the naked eye, so he was very unlucky to get two busted legs out of it and so long on the side lines…

BMW. They could have chased the championship with Kubica, but said no. My god, Robert Kubica got screwed over by corporate decisions, this is why Corporate takeover of independent teams screw their drivers over. When Stewart got bought out for the Jaguar takeover via Ford in 2000, Jaguar took the team downhill after the 1999 season when they got things going especially with Rubens Barichello scoring points, podiums, and even contending for race wins that could have gotten him a win or two had engine failure not happen or had their race strategy work toward their favor. This is why we support independent teams owned by former F1 world champions, and those who want to live the dream not greedy corporations who prefer to focus on preparing new cars based on new rules packages rather than compete for a championship.

the stuff with the everything

I think it was not bad to buy Ligier, but as someone who never really felt like a nationalist, Prost should have not cared about building an all French team. If he sticked to Mugen Honda, I'm sore it would have been much better, because these engines were helping Jordan win races in 1998 and 1999. He was not the first who fell down this "all being French" rabbithole. There was a man called Jean Daninos, who had a company named Facel that produced car bodys. He then decided to do his own cars branded as Facel-Vega. They were big luxury GT cars and to make it a reliable car, he chose the Chrysler V8 engines and gearboxes. And the cars were good and company was succesfull. But there were always people forcing him to do an all French car. So he eventually agreed and so the Facelia was a car with a French engine made by former Talbot-Lago people and built by Pont-à-Mousson, as well as the gearbox was made there. Because of it's strange design (only two camshaft bearings) and bad manufacture processing, the engines failed often and the company was flodded with warranty claims. This destroyed the financially, aswell as their reputation fell to zeru and eventually, after some struggles, they had to close down.

6:24 Stewart Grand Prix in 1997 (as a brand new team) only finished the race 8 times between the two cars the team had run with drivers Rubens Barrichello who finished 2nd in Monaco and Jan Magnussen.

Pretty sure the Renault turbos of the early eighties scored fewer finishes.

PASCAL is so underrated, Wish he took the seat in 2017

team suggestion: mastercard lola the shortest lived f1 team or maybe usf1 or any other proposed teams that never happened

The bmw f1 2022 car looked sick

After watching those old races with Prost competing in the 1990's as an owner during this past offseason between 2021 and 2022. I could not believe that Prost failed because the team had so unreliable engines from a manufacturer not well known for racing. Prost should've sticked with Honda to begin with instead of unreliable Peugeot engines. And the fact that their best driver Olivier Panis never got back to his old-self after injury. I'm glad that the team was able to capitalize when they were able to but only at very few races. On what you should do next I would suggest Jaguar, the team that took over Stewart in 2000.
