Motorsports - Marshal Fails & Close Calls
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 сер 2020
- Marshals, or Marshalls, have always been a a part of racing, and they will continue to be a mainstay for without them, racing would be pandemonium. They clear cars, wave flags to help drivers on track, act as first responders to incidents, and much more, almost always on a voluntary basis. Unfortunately, humans make mistakes, and so do track marshalls. Whether it's being aggrivated or the opposite, too-relaxed, not waving flags, falling, etc., it is normally caught on television. In this compilation you will also see close calls, which entail cars nearly hitting marshalls. Here is a solid 10 minutes of marshal fails and close calls. Enjoy!

1:45 I lost it. "I don't think he meant to fly. But still these Italian marshalls, can do almost anything." 🤣🤣
That was in the havoc series. They were humorous on those programmes in the 70s and 80s
Still the marshals are the unsung heroes of motorsport. Without them, racing could/would not take place.
They would and they would be alot smoother half of the time without them🙄
I fully support this comment as I’m a Marshall In New Zealand for MSNZ and have flagged for numerous international events and can confirm without Marshall’s there would not be any racing as it’s a legal FIA requirement. We are actually highly trained in what we do including medical aid and fire safety and how to remove drivers from cars safely if they also may have a broken neck or back
@@kyledorrell2013 I wouldn't want to race at an event organised by you, with no marshals. I can only assume you have never raced or marshalled, or are trying to project humour through UA-cam comments (which doesn't work). Carry on burning out in the car park at McDonalds. Or try real racing, it's fun :)
F1 needs to get smarter marshals or better rules though. Too many near misses lately with marshals.
So is everyone behind the scenes like camera men and such
"These italian marshalls can do almost anything"
flying marshall
Flying Nun eat your heart out
We are just built different
not only italian marshalls, idiot....all marshall in the world are so stupid....

*Ignore this comment*
F1 cars are very light especially in these days... I'd be more concerned with the front wing coming on your leg after the wheel has run iver you and scraping over your leg...
@@squeakybunny2776 what are you talking about? Current generation of F1 cars is the heaviest in history of the sport and those ones still weighted over 700kg when fuelled
@@pyron4913 I read your reply in the notifications and thought:"I know they are the heaviest what could I have said that contradicts that"
And then I read my reply and... No idea why I wrote that or what I was thinking... Thx for correcting my mistake for further readers...
@@squeakybunny2776 ah, honest mistake
3:18 are we gonna ignore the entire fuel nozzle coming off
Very good bonus feature
They should have had a "dead man's" valve at the other end of whatever that hose is connected to like IndyCar does. A spring loaded lever that has to be held open for the fuel to flow. If something like this happens the guy at the valve just lets go of the handle. Springs pull the handle up, and that closes the valve. NASCAR, and others stayed with the dump cans to limit the amount of fuel in the pits. If this were to happen with dump cans, you just tip them back up, end of fuel flow.
That one guy should worship that tree 🌳
I get it now....the need for all the yellows...it's like watching a comedy show.
Germans: MAAAAAAAAN
French: Ohhhlalalala
Italians: Madonna!

Italia: 👌👐🤞🤙👆👈👉
7:53 that’s one way to give someone a blue flag
Maybe the best way 🤷♂️😂
Especially if the driver ain't paying attention.
You know that feel when you can't run properly in a dream because you keep falling all the time? I think that's exactly how marshals feel on the track.
I was thinking the same thing
4:14 that barrier is appalling. That should NEVER happen.
What do u mean that would totally stop a f1 car.
It's also an example of why you never turn your back on a live track.
Unfortunately Kubica know something about it
Yeah they use a dual carriageway way outside of a city called Palanga in Lithuania
@@ThePilotWhoCantFly in spain, in the most dangerous places they even use *triple*
Holy sh**, I didn’t even remember the Checo Perez one😱
Holy sh** indeed. That was bad.
Wayyyy too close
Dosen't formula 1 cars brake really fast... what was he doing? If the Marshall's were injured, he would have been in serious trouble..
Edit: I dont mean any disrespect to checo, but he should have a little more awareness.
@@harkesh2023 you should look up a video of what an f1 driver sees when driving. He's going about 100km/h, can barely see anything and there shouldn't be people on the middle of the track while cars are racing.
That's why we have red flags
They didnt show it on anything tv or anything. It was just from the driver feed. Im guessing f1 trying to hide as much as possible from bad PR.
You are supposed to "wave" the Blue Flag, not fling it at the slower car 😂
It’s one way to get the point across!
Lmao which part of the vid is it at?
@@snyper-f1 7:48
@@arie_hdyt5378 thanks a lot mate!
He can definitely see it then
Big thanks to every Marshall in motorsports for keeping every driver safe. Recently the crash of Romain Grosjean showed this again. Big respect and thanks to every Marshall out there 🙏🙏❤️
Some of these clips, 1:50 in particular, remind me that sometimes the right way to handle being in the middle of an active racetrack isn't to dive for cover but rather to stand still and VISIBLE for the drivers (who are moving much faster) to go around you- rather than diving unpredictably in one way or another.
I saw a clip from Indycar maybe (?) where a very similar scenario ensued. Car was standing in the middle of the track, marshals are handling the situation when another car suddenly approached. The marshalls, instead of standing still right next to the broke down car (a very visible obstacle), tried to dive off the track. Well, one of them got his arm caught by the wheel of the passing car, and let me tell you: These wheels spin. Fast. Dude was basically sucked under the tire and spat out like some rag doll. I think he sustained some serious injuries. So yea, stay still, and if there's an obstacle on the track, stay next to it.
i for some dumbass reason decided to run out into three lanes (empty), and a motorcycle kinda came out of nowhere right where my board had stopped. i just stood there like an idiot as i could see the confusion/laughter in his face behind the helmet. also almost saw my friends cousin get obliterated tryna run across traffic. dude woulda been mist if he kept on running.changed his life instantly.
If you're talking about the CART incident in the mid-late 1990's in Vancouver (or somewhere in the PNW I believe?) yeah that guy died.@@Navajonkee
@@kelly2631 I've looked it up. Yup, that's the one I was talking about. And the driver who was involved in the accident even said the same thing about it: They pretty much ran into his car as if they were expecting him to drive into the stalled car in the middle of the track.
4:09 when you buy the barrier on Amazon because it was such a good deal
We have a lot if them in Morocco everywhere!!!
Well, hopefully there’s a great deal on multipacks of underwear, he sure needs them
Oh f*ck, i Saw the first second And i was like
Oh But the barrier resisted the first crash And literally 1 second later the guy got almost killed XD
4:35
First crash of the day.
I laughed at that... I have a broken sense of humor if I am the only one who laughed
8:54
He can officially tell his friends that he as a Marshall got ran over by a racecar.
4:17 Is a cop, not a marshall. Of course he'e doing his job instead of watching the cars.
When you're doing crowd security, you are specifically told that if you glance at the track, or the band, or the field, you WILL lose your job. Damn good work by that fellow, even with what must have been a hell of a racket behind him.
@@fishnutter5219 Pretty sure if he heard a noise behind him he would be allowed to turn around without losing his job.
@@minners71 hard to tell when it’s all so incredibly loud tbf
I am a track marshal in Belgium and I can tell you that an error is always possible but when we see a lot of the images in your videos the pilots do not help us or do not respect us or do not respect the flags and this generates danger that only the marshals or the race directors can understand so before hitting the marshals many people should come and spend several days with us to learn our function from the inside
AMEN, although i have to say I only had positive feedback/interactions with drivers at the Nordschleife, never had an Interaction at the GP track though.
Cheers from germany!
Amen too
But...sometimes marshals, through lack of training or lack of caution have caused dangerous situations/accidents. They're only human afterall...mistakes happen
I'm a little bit upset and shame on the drivers, because how they treat marshals. Adrenaline here, adrenaline there, they should respect the other. Muhammad Ali had a great quote: “I don’t trust anyone who’s nice to me but rude to the waiter. Because they would treat me the same way if I were in that position.”.
@@CsabaV that kimi incident is so sad
Nonsense.
Marshall's should never touch race drivers when they are clearly not in distress, let alone running onto a race track when on a blind corner.
Since these incidents, new protocols have been brought in place to prevent idiotic actions.
7:02 classic Kimi
Having been a Marshal in the UK for 10 years, many of these clips made me feel physically sick!
Do you get paid
@@poor_youtuber1390 don't think so
2:51 Me negotiating a path to the bathroom at 3 am.
Man that's a good mix of circumstances. Alot of harmless bloopers. Plenty of examples of what NOT to do as a Marshall. And a whole host of drivers ignoring yellow flags and obvious safety signs and signals.
4:29 Maybe if he wasn’t being so dramatic about it....
It's amazing how disrespectful some of the drivers are to caution flags.
It's also amazing how some marshals don't bother to look before hopping onto a racetrack.
4:19... some say those blue pants now are inextricably brown...
This should be mandatory viewing at marshal training days; I don't know many who would contemplate doing most of what goes on here. 8:46 is just adrenaline - hope the driver bought the marshal a beer afterwards, and all was well. 4:20 was frightening - always inspect the position, avoid standing directly in the firing line, and face the oncoming traffic - how many times was I told that!
In drag racing I was taught,if your not medically trained,or a fire Marshall,don't approach the driver or the car directly after a crash (other than to turn the kill switch on a door car)
And always have your eyes looking at any car coming in your direction (in drag racing that usually means if on the start line,be aware of cars reversing after a burn out)
The cleverest Marshall in this clip,while still in a silly position,was the guy in the rally stood behind that big old mature tree.
@Enzo 1965 A fair comment; probably site security in that position and wearing yellow (assume you're referring to the guy at 4:20).
he was security and security arent allowed to look at the field, only at the spectators
Did 4 years of Karting. Got hit by a kart in a rain race ! It snapped around and coming at me. Started walking backwards and forgot full brakes and rain tires mean nothing on wet grass!
Apologized to the driver the round for making them angry enough to run me over! 😀
Still remember first pile up. Had to just stand there and wait for every to scatter and stop. Kid under kart and all its weight on his left ankle. He was freaking out a bit.
Had raced at track for A+D and manager comes up to me. Do you want to work here ? Its a long day and shit pay! So of course said yes! Work Sunday morning race then afternoon race was my pay. Then go back the next week to work club races. Thankfully never took any crap from drivers ! Sometimes ended up racing someone who I made a call against!
Perception is the worst part. What you see from right side of track is not the same from left side and 10 feet further down! Or shit happens when you change focus from a group of karts or cars!
It was actually a great " job"
Lap 1 behind the wheel is less stressful than it is holding a flag!
Probably got fined pretty good for decking the safety guy.
Marshall: falls
Dude on transmission commentary: "first crash of the day"
Respect to you for not putting the deadly marshal accident in!🙏👌🏼
09:35 My wife’s parking skills
Yes some people have that. Go random directions until it's sort of in the right place and direction.
Motor racing enthusiasts, involved in a sport they love, risking themselves, so the cars, drivers and teams can compete.
Pissing rain, stupid hot, stand all day in the sun, they keep turning up. Sure occasionally, in the rush, they trip or fall over. But they are there.
Volunteers. The life blood. I'm proud to be one.
"Marshal Fails". To whoever titled this. What have you ever done????????????????
Mate. I’m in full support of the marshalls. What they do is the gods work. They are volunteers who dedicate their time and lives to occupations they don’t even receive pay for. But saying “To whoever titled this - what have you done” is akin to commenting on a FailArmy video saying “I like people. You like people. Why did you make this video compiling people making mistakes and failing?” Everyone makes mistakes, and so do marshalls.
I was a corner worker at 14, and a corner marshal at 17, and even came back to it for a few years ~35. I still have some of the hairier moments glued into the mental video playlist, for sure.... "Marshals are the mainstay," for sure, but the best marshals will drill their crew on the coming TRAFFIC, the guest RACER, and then EVERYTHING ELSE. You see a lot of that here, where somebody rolling a vehicle would rather have their leg run over than stop the progress of getting (car+workers) behind a barrier. Just so typical. *"Always face traffic!"*
4:29 "It's fun to stay at the..."
Idk why but the way he hit the car with the flag at 5:50 made me laugh so much 🤣
4:44 lets be honest that is the most DEUTSCHE commentary ive ever heard. Even as a german
Can you please translate to English
Toto Wolff in an alternate reality
Hats off for marshal, in my country they're just unpaid volunteer who love motorsport and looking for experience, they just doing what they love, every driver & team racing must have respect them
4:34 ohhh.... Marsh fallon off on the grid, first crash of the day
Had me cracking 😂
Honestly I don't know why in between a few years or so something happens to a Marshall
I mean marshalls may even the world's kindest people for the simple fact that if a racer crashes , they will immediately help that person, no matter the risk.
They will even run as fast as they can,no matter how far it is , or how tired they already are , because I am confident they would hold it against themselves if someone died on their watch. They would feel guilty and would probably dwell on the incident for time to come
It would probably haunt their lives as they think that they could have done something to stop that
Marshalls are willing to risk their life in order to save others' and so I think that marshalls are very kind and compassionate souls
5:46 is 100% on the driver for ignoring the marshals.
Which Job is more dangerous? Driving or Marshalling.
The Monaco one ..
The marshall is only alive because Sergio was at the wheel.
If it was anyone else with less experience , it would've been bad.
Love the guy, and 2 weeks on he is now a race fucking winner, after being crashed into lap 1
LMFAO. Perez shouldn't have put himself in that situation to begin with. Doesn't scream "experienced showing through". Going too fast under double waved yellow
This collection amazing. Even FIA cant do something like this. @1:43 epic.
I think the biggest thing this video highlights is the need to request and get a "point". Getting a signal of the last car before a track is clear before doing hot track work is vital. Also getting a signal when traffic is coming back around is vital. I work a station at a vintage car race in Pittsburgh, which is over a blind crest into a hard braking zone. There's a chicane made of hay, so it frequently requires fixing of some form or other. Getting a point from the station ahead is vital to keeping the chicane clear without stopping the race or getting run over.
Also, cars are a mess to marshal for. They can, and they do, go freaking anywhere. It's impossible to predict where a car will go, so you have to keep your head on a swivel and be ready to run for cover. Ideally, always have cover when working a car event. Motorcycles are comparatively easy, once the bike has left its wheels, it's going in mostly one direction.
1:45 i believe, i can fly🎶 🤣
7:50 holy kneters xD
I love all things racing, but through my years of watching it I've learned one definitive absolute: Racecar drivers are primadonnas. All of them.
After Hunt punched the Marshal, he did apologize, and took him and his wife out for dinner.
Knowing hunt probably just took the wife out for dinner.

That flying marshal was priceless guys, ha ha wicked!! 🇬🇧 ✊🏼
Oh man, kinda pity to watch the Porsche driver wanting the marshalls to help him push the car out of the gravel and back to the track. 😅 The marshall's probably saying "Sorry, we cannot interfere on the race. Did you even read the Rules, mate?"
Make it clear that marshals need to be on track by a double yellow, VSC/FCY or SC. Welp that didn't happen much.
1:40 i dont give a flying fu.. Marshal. Lol..
4:14 that armco was horribly inadequate, but I love how no one made much effort to warn the cop 😬😏
This is soo good!
Even of they make mistakes and have close calls. We couldn't have racing without them
1:45 😂😂😂😂
Cool to see also this side of sports. Sorry for all who had bad luck
Confirms what I always thought...Yellow flag means "Drive as fast as you can."
Most marshals are like minions 😂
Race Marshall training video 👌
Sometimes you’re wondering: “What going on inside their Head?”😂
Thought I would see some grafic content and ended up laughing my ass out
First crash of the day got me lol
Flying marshal has incredible grip wtf
I can tell you from experience, as I have been on both sides, no matter how bad they looked, 9 out of 10 times they were doing, or tying to do is what was asked of them.
This was funny! 🤣
As a driver I will say right now that the marshalls are absolute heroes
Nice videos
First think to do to become a marshal. Learn how to walk. I guess everyone skip that lesson
2nd, tie your shoe laces
Most racing stewards and marshals are great and completely necessary...some though, it’s a miracle that they can put socks on by themselves!!
07:57 first time I've ever heard "ooh la la la la" used in context.
The world of Marshals, there should be a TV series.
5:29 Canada 2011 - what a race
Why did I get this recommendation after their Brands hatch Accident?
It's fun to watch near misses, but the fatal ones stick in my mind. Like the Willy T Ribbs incident.
If I had been the FIA James Hunt career as a pilot would have ended there...
The driver sticking one on the marshal in the clip at 8:33 is no other than the late great James Hunt .
Yeah, I read an interview with the marshal. It really affected him mentally.
Look mom, I can fly.

That Marshall falling on the grid was the best 😂
how are these lemmings still kicking it's absolutely magical ✌️🤞
the last scene is the smartest marshall!

500,000 views at Sep 2, 2020 . What a great number
So relieved that lawn chair was also ok
A lot of these seem to occur when the marshal bends down to grab a piece of debris while running across the track. You'd think that F1 at least can spare a few buckeroos and give the guys responsible for cleaning up debris a broom or two so they can quickly sweep the stuff without needing to bed down all the way? A street broom is only $20, and even if there are 500 marshals on a track, that's $10,000 for 500 street brooms, and that's assuming that every track marshal needs to clean the track. I'm pretty sure that a single set of the tires that they use cost more than that, and they can just hand the brooms out at the beginning of the weekend and collect them back. If that sounds like too much work, you have to remember that Pirelli has guys picking up every single piece of rubber from the track to prevent their chemistry from being revealed.
5:15 where was double yellow?? Marshalls on track and they are showin yellow and red striped yellow?? ( Which mean oil on track surface) if somebody didnt know.
It's a Safety Car situation, they all should go slower anyway!
next to last clip, gotta love someone using a dry chem extinguisher on a grass fire, but that's NASCAR for you - only series that wants you to use DC over water.
Overall however, this video shows that corner workers need to STAY BEHIND the barriers and let safety deal with anything on a hot track.
I'm not sure why you wouldn't use powder? Its the first line of attack available for use on everything at a race track, and generally the first one in my hand because it deals with everything from fuel to grass, and that could easily have been a fuel leak onto grass. We don't even have plain water extinguishers at any track I've been at.
@@andyowens5494 dry chem is corrosive to electronics, so a lot of series don’t like it. Also, an ABC dry chem is like 10x more effective on the B fires than the A fires, so you’ll get more bang for your spray on the grass fire with water. Where I work we carry equal amounts of both types on the trucks. Options!
I’m so glad I’m not in the it or my colleagues, although we’ve had a few over the years
