  • Some cars obliterate the F1 field, but once in a while, luck runs out and even the fastest cars and drivers can't win.
    In the latest of Autosport’s “Short View Back to the Past” series, Chief Editor Kevin Turner reveals F1’s fastest failures that never won a championship.

    I like this idea a lot, you should go over every season and do this. You'll find things like the fastest driver in 07 was Alonso, 08 was Massa, 09 Vettel, 12 Hamilton, 16 Hamilton, 17-18 race pace was Vettel etc. Reliability, bad luck, and strategy (cough *Ferrari*) have cost drivers the wdc in the past a lot.

      @Shaggy12321 2 роки тому +8

      P.S. to add something else to this, you'll see that the 2012 Ferrari was like the 4th fastest car overall, and somehow Alonso almost won the WDC in it.

Tally up the points and you'll find Vettel victorious in both years by a good margin. Alonso in 2007 beat Hamilton I believe 12-7 in race trim, you can Google that one to find the stats. Minus McLaren driver mistakes (China, Japan, Canada) you find Alonso victorious.

      As for 2007 - it was 10-7 to Alonso. In races where neither car had a problem, it was 7-6. In Lewis' rookie season. When he was faster in qualifying. A far cry from how you portray it. Without bad luck, Lewis would've won.

    I was starting to boil like an RE30B when you started off your list with the Lotus 49 as a fast "failure" (when it gave Lotus a 2nd in the WCC in 1967, its first year, and 1st in 1968 and 1970, and still placed 3rd in 1969---so all podium finishes in its 4 years of service)---but then I simmered down when I got to 3:25. Thanks, I won't have to send you my cardiologist bill.

  • @chicobicalho5621

    The problem with the Lotus 49 was the tragic death of Jimmy Clark. Had he lived, I believe he would have won 3 championships in a row; 1968, 1969, and 1970. And most likely 1972 as well.

    • @The98Targaryen
      @The98Targaryen 2 роки тому +2

      It also saddens me when I wonder as I firmly believe alongside Alonso (due to bad luck and career choices) and Senna (death as well) that formula 1 lost potentially ridiculous successes from those men..... Clark especially even by the time of his death could have potentially been a 4 time champion and still had room to continue (was likely going to win 68 since he was always better than Hill and it's Hill who went on to win), it's also underrated how his win/pole record not sure which lasted till the 80s when Prost came along

    I believe the 1991 version of the Williams FW14 also falls in this category. No doubt it was a superior car to the McLaren MP4/6, but that year Senna made a difference.

    • @theempires5
      @theempires5 2 роки тому +5

      Williams had a big problem with their brand new semi-automatic gearbox in early 1991 so Mclaren and Senna reap the wins early on before Williams finally sort out the transmission. But by then Senna had already enough of a cushion to clinch the title at Suzuka

    The very first F1 race I went to was in 1982. My dad took me to the Detroit GP. I was Canadian and seeing Gilles for the first time had me stoked. Unfortunately, shortly before the race, Gilles passed at Zolder. I was saddened.
    The very first car I saw on the track live was the Tyrrell 011 It was so loud and the sound echoed between the Renaissance Buildings. I was an instant fan. They were running a mix of normally asperated and turbos that year, but I never noticed.
    The next year we came back and the entire field were turbos, I asked my dad "what happened to the noise?". He replied "Turbos". We never went to another race until 1989. After that I would go on to see over 80 GP in my life. I have not been since 2014. Once you hear a screaming Ferrari V12 live...........................................

    Renault RE 40. The car was the Blueprint for every succesful F1 car until 1989 and didn't win the title. A huge shame. Honorable Mention for the BT55 and MP4/18. Both revolutionary, both superior designs that just came a few years too early.

    The Lotus 49 as the video says did not appear until the third race, but in those days there were only 11 races. The massive increase in the power the Ford Cosworth brought was responsible for many of the issues, like drive shafts. The 49 went on the following year to win the drivers and constructors championship and was winning races into 1970 when Rindt won the drivers championship. If thats some kind of failure….
