I’d say this is nothing like a race at the Nurburgring that was held is heavy rain and thick fog. Jackie Stewart has talked about the race and how he was up to his neck in fear due to the poor visibility
Out of everything in this video the one real heart stopping moment for me is seeing Michael and that big yellow recovery vehicle. To see him so many times bite it yet make it out ok, then when he is enjoying life skiing with his family to have such bad luck breaks my heart!😢 praying for Michael and his family. ❤ (R.I.P. Jules💙)
To be fair, it was a curse thag Rubens suffered almost every year at Interlagos. He was good and often led for a while before some aspect of his car gave up. It became almost inevitable
to true,the teams spend millons on the cars to win while trying to make them as safe as possible then on a whim the fia change the rules .what othere sport where the drivers risk their lives will potentially increase the risk.it is more like farcical 1
@@Joseph2302 That makes a slight amount more sense as the tyres were designed to last the entire race (And could go the entire race with the exception of indianapolis) And correct me if i was wrong but you were still allowed to change tyres , you were just penalised for it. But the wet tyre rule forced Drivers to use a tyre in conditions it wasnt designed for. It would be like removing inters and wet tyres from the teams without making any changed to the dry tyres. The no tyre change rule is still stupid tho coz it takes alot of fun out of the races and obviously it caused the whole indianapolis fiasco.
The 1994 rules changes were also stupid. They thought was a good idea to ban all electronic "driver aids", such as: Active suspension, Anti-lock brakes, Traction control and Launch control. Pilots and cars were not prepared for those changes. 2 pilots died and some others got injured that year.
Check out the 1998 Belgium grand prix geld at Spa Francorchamps. That was absolute carnage which left 13 severely damaged cars. An hour long delay while the track was cleared allowed teams to setup the 3rd spare cars that teams had back then for drivers, unfortunately 4 drivers still couldnt start as they were in teams that had both cars severely damaged so spare car went to the lead driver. Te whole weekend was during a torrential downpour. The estimated cost of parts wrecked back then was $13 Million which in todays money is $24.8 Million.
And that was just the pile up at the start. Mika Salo had already crashed in practice and then there are all the accidents when the race eventually got going. The only team who suffered no damage from that weekend ironically was Jordan the team that won the race
Whilst I firmly believe in safety before entertainment, I do agree that modern race control is full of shit when it comes to weather. Gotta protect the teams' pocket books I guess.
I was at that race in Interlagos, my first ever F1 event. I saw car after car crash in turn 3, including the champ Schumacher. I was soaking wet, remember my shoes were basically all water. Barichello running out of fuel, Alonso huge crash, safety after safety car and a Jordan car winning. Truly surreal!
That was such a surprising race. I remember looking for a new favourite driver every five minutes. 🤣 At that time I really didn‘t understand why Kimi was standing on the podium on 1st place. I was so happy for Fisiccella and felt so sad with him when he became second.
When I saw the conditions pre-race, I put a VHS in and hit record. I think I rewatched about 6-7 times. Classic race. And the thing was, I noticed that Fisichella passed through the debris of Webber's accident to start the extra lap just before Alonso came flying into shot to hit the tyre and bring the red flag. I couldn't believe the mistake had been made. Was happy to see Fisichella lift the trophy 2 weeks later.
Great video however the title, "the scariest race in F1 history, may be an over statement. As I am old I remember back back to the 80's and know about the 70's. Not trying to detract from you good presentation but the names Roger Williamson, Gilles Villenueve, Niki Lauda, Tom Pryce spring to mind. Well done this was a great video.
The 1960 Belgian Grand Prix was probably the scariest race in F1 history. Two drivers died in that race, one garrotted by fencing and one after being struck by a bird in a freak accident. Jim Clark finished the race with a blood-spattered car
I was looking for some video before The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2024 and this was better than I expected, too bad I wasn't watching F1 at the time, that must have been crazy!
I think the crash at the start of the 1998 Belgian GP was pretty scary as well. I remember watching that live on TV and was surprised that everyone walked away from it.
@@simonkevnorris- that start was scary, yes. The multi-car pileup at the start of the 1994 German and 1973 British Grand Prix were pretty scary as well
@@nathanwilliams2152 For me the worse thing was some drivers at the back of the grid kept their foot on the throttle and piled into the crashed cars. Mind you I understand that vision may have been impaired but I think some of those drivers were struggling to keep the car going in s a straght line in the dry!
i counted 8 times were the guy made a dramatic "but it was short lived" type comment. dude took one class about building suspense and thought he had the whole thing nailed. he's a hack and this was an easy downvote/do not recommend.
A Big mistake in the beginning of the vídeo. Interlagos is not near the Amazon river. About 1000km of distance... Where do you take that "information"?
With these comments, you'd think that every time a driver hit a recovery vehicle they were killed instantly. Well - they weren't!! Most hits that I saw were low speed. They were out on the circuit all the time. It just took one freak accident at high speed - well you saw what happened. We didn't bat an eyelid then.
This is not the full story In fact, Mc Laren did not protest too much. The race stoping at lap 53 mean only half of the points where given while if it stops at lap 54 of 71, that's more than 75% of the race hence full points. So, Kimi was rewarded 8 point for beeing second instead of only 5 for the win.
@@dangerdean9066 the full win was 10 points. But is the race don't reach 75% of target length, it is only half points. I remember this happened because I am old, but I can't find a reference. Maybe I dreamed this, but 53 lap is intead just under 75%
Yeah but also the season that got Mark Webber the drive in a Red Bull. That boy put that sluggish POS Jaguar into top ten starting spots it had no goddly right to be in. It showed how fast he could be and the potential if he had a decent car. I remember watching that race and it truly was insane. Four five cars spin out in the rain at the sicane including Webber who did numerous 360s before pulling into line and continued driving when sop many others just hit the wall. Ok so he crashed out eventually as well but it was still spectacular.
Had the result stood with Kimi winning, he'd have had 4 more points - enough to have won the WDC that year (assuming all other results went the same way).
Alonso accident looked like a fatal indycar crash... Seriously I forgot this race but men this race was a miracle no one died. It was irresponsible. Just lije Spa 98 or F2 Spa 2019. Or the other Spa fatality of the Dutch driver.
What Giancarlo receives off Kimi at the end of the race is what we call a trophy. The ones we have now - including that ridiculous Monaco 'trophy' - are just rubbish
This wasn't the "scariest" F1 race at all, especially confronting it with Imola 1994 or with Nurburbring 1976, just to name a few. It might be the scariest for the short memory ones.
I think Imola 1994 was the scariest ever. Barrichello almost died on Friday (medics said to him that he died for a few minutes and got reanimated). Than Ratzenberger died on Saturday. It was noticeable how scared pilots were before the race. That race should never happened. But sadly it did and Senna died on Sunday.
@heitorlgf Exactly, and without mentioning other accidents occurred during the race, as the crash at the start, or the injuries of the mechanics during the pit stop. These events alone were worthy mentioning for any other race, but this time they were considered "nothing" in context of all other tragedies happened during the weekend. Imola was the true scariest race of modem times.
"Scariest race in F1 history" kindly, sod off. They were racing in the 1950s, 60s and 70s in manual cars without electronic aids or cockpit protection. Drivers dying was a regular occurrence.
It shows you are not an F1 fan andhave never even watched a F1 race. If you are or have you would know how to pronounce the drivers names or have heard the commentators pronounce them.
Calling this the scariest race in F1 history is a masterpiece of overstatement
Yeah how about 66 and 96 Monaco 4 drivers finished each

The podium ceremony where nobody stood on the correct step

Damn Alonso really copped it in that crash! He got hammered!
I guess at this exact moment finally learned that he has to slow down under yellow

Whilst I firmly believe in safety before entertainment, I do agree that modern race control is full of shit when it comes to weather. Gotta protect the teams' pocket books I guess.
Yes, hydrophobic is the perfect word. Made me laugh 😂
I remember watching this race live as 8-year old, still one of the best races i've ever seen.
Barrichello's bad luck at his home grand prix was extraordinary. Sao Paulo just did not give Barrichello a break.
Love you videos man! keep up the good work
Happy that you enjoyed it ❤️, will definitely do 👌🏻
That was a crazy race. I was so scared for Alonso.

11 Junção = Junction
12 Subida dos Boxes = Boxes Climb

"Do I have to smile?"
"Yes, Kimi"
"Bwoah"
I was at the race in Interlagos and I remember feeling frustrated when Barrichello's car pulled over.
Well, you obviously didn't watch any F1 in the 70s.
When you have a race track positioned between the lakes (interlagos) you have to expect a wet race with an advisory to wear lifejackets.
sorry ill take the scarier races back in the 60/70's thanks
More like scariest in the modern era not counting Japan 2014/2022 R.I.P. Jules Bianchi
Miss those times, those races....
Max Mosley biggest mistake that happened to F1. He almost killed F1 at that time. Honda, Toyota, BMW all exited F1 during his reign.
Remember this well. Even Kimi felt Fischi had won.
Good stuff.

Wow, Fisichella winning a GP, I remember this race now. I confirmed it with my dad, since that name was shocking to me.

Damn, who would have though that creating a rule the specifically prevent cars from having adapted tires for the weather would lead to disaster?
Kimi would've been a 2 times champion with 2 different constructors 😭
A *thrilling movie* could have been made of *this race alone!!!* Movie Title: *The 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix!* 😳😯
