It's obvious why they don't have Verstappen 2016 Brazil. The hate is strong. He was ONLY 18 and came from last to 3rd in 14 laps I think. Definitely not worth a mention 👍
The lack of Max in 2016 is a disappointment. Irregardless of whether or not he only finished 3rd, he put on a drive that's equal to any of the ones on this list.
He arguably lost the race in Brazil because of the ‘save’ that he had to make. The other entries on this list are flawless. His drive, whilst brilliant, was never equal to any of the drives on this list. I’d argue his German GP win in 2019 was better since it was in the 3rd best car on a day when pretty much everyone apart from Seb made mistakes
@@aaronjoy980 I don’t agree. Some of these entries aren’t even from the back of the grid. Moving up from top 7-8 on a vastly better machinery shouldn’t necessarily get into the top 10. Max came back from around 15th while the field was slightly spread out and did they in just 16-18 laps. You might have a different opinion, it’s just my take :)
I would have put Schumacher's drive at the '96 Spanish GP in #1 spot. The car had no business winning that race, but he not only managed to do it while making it look easy, but his engine wasn't running on all cylinders.
Jenson Button know exactly what's tire to use and when to change tires while sitting in the commentary box years after he retired without needing to look any weather forecast or short. That's how good he is. Yet again he didn't get the credit he deserve. He literally made a living out of changeable weather.
Honourable mentions: - Marc Gene, European GP 1999 - Any Max drive in the wet tbh, apart from Turkey 2020 - Lewis, Turkey 2020 - Lewis, Fuji 200...8? (Or was it 2007?) - Winkelhock, Europe 2007, lolz - Ralf Schumacher, Spa 1998 (a win but for team orders) - Alonso, Malaysia 2012 - Vettel, South Korea 2010 - Hulkenberg, Brazil 2010 qualy
Schumacher had another 2 brilliant races at Spa. One in 1995 which he won after holding off Hill on slicks during a shower. The other one, in 1998, was cut short by Coulthard's shenanigans.
YES - a very inspired performance! It was the epitome of what the man was all about - NEVER EVER give up or giver in - unfortunately that mentality ended up being his downfall....
Damon’s ‘94 Suzuka drive was overlooked at the time due to the battle between Allasi and Mansell. As for the fastest lap the first time they had a formation lap at the 1975 German race that was minuets faster than the race pace, due to using the access road to make a three mile lap rather than the full fourteen.
Damn all the kids crying about Max's 2016 Brazil race like we need the recognition of this guys channel to know he had a brilliant drive, like chill tf out we know he drove exceptionally.
Hill, Rosberg, Beltoise.... so many great rainmastery which I would've never known without this video. Fantastic content. Should've made this years earlier.
Jenson Button, Canada 2011....not even in the top 10, what a joke, that race broke so many records and in my eyes is the greatest wet weather race and the greatest come back win ever.
@@schuncken I think we can take from the fact that all one's mentioned did win, that they were only considering drives that won a race. So badly titled, but not anti Max (or other drivers/ nationalities)
What about Senna 1984 Monaco GP with the Toleman? Honest question, 'cause here in Brazil people tend to regard that performance as one of the best wet races of all time!
very interesting rating but with good and substantial arguments. Personally, the drive of Michael Schumacher in Spa in 1995 should have deserved a high rating.....there were constantly changing conditions, requiring excellent car control and a clear/cool head in terms of adjusting to them. I am not sure but I believe Schumacher started from the 15th or 16th position....just to have a dominating win. Last but not least, Verstappen's drive in Brazil should have also landed on this list.
Fisichella's maiden GP win at the 2003 Brazilian GP in a grossly underpowered Jordan when everyone thought for days that Räikkönen had won the race should be in there. Panis' sole GP Win at Monaco 1996 also deserves a mention. He came from 14th on the grid, managed to overcome a spin without hitting a wall, then fended off Coulthard despite being in a somewhat midmarking Ligier and then of course was one of only three cars to finish that race. Probably also worth mentioning would be Badoer at the European GP 1999. Probably the only brilliant drive of his career perfect tyre strategy in a wet/dry race and running 4th in a Minardi when his car fell apart like 13 laps from the finish. It would turn out to be his only realistic shot at ever scoring points.
Schumi's drive on spain is probably one if not the best proof that rain is an equalizer on track. That Ferrari was awful and yet he managed to get a 10 seconds gap to one of the most dominant cars on its time (the Williams). For people who tend to say that Michael or any other driver are all just the car, they really need to check their wet drives so they can see just how good they are,
turkey 2020 deserves a shout. his largest margin of victory since silverstone 2008. and lewis only took the lead after lap 30 an was lapping faster than everyone while having the oldest tyres on the field
No surprise that the best wet weather driver is not on the list. It's British. I understand. Never watched Brazil 2016 ? A race everyone remember. Niki Lauda took his hat off.
@@michaelmiguel9032 At least they rate a driver like Lewis very high. And respect him because he is that good. The Brits try to talk performance down or even don't mention it, like it is not there.
@@riancastermans1607 You really need to understand that the British media is largely not owned by or representative of the Brits. There is no pro Brit bias in our media, it's pro Hamilton bias. A different agenda entirely. Real British motor racing fans absolutely appreciate Max. He is a mega talent.
As a 49 y/o man, I have no feelings on Keke Rosberg's, Graham Hill's, Jean-Pierre's, Jim Clark's & Jackie Stewart's wins. But I really like to replace one of those slots with Rubinho's 2000 Hockenheim win. It''s remarkable. Also Schumi's 1996 Catalonia & Ayrton's 1984 Estoril wins IMO are very tight to be on #1 spots. Both cars were underdog, difference was, Schumi was already WDC while Ayrton wasn't (yet).
Also the 1979 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen was a great addition Gilles Villeneuve in his Ferrari 312T4 led the race from start to finish. And yes it was a damped race as well.
Even if you say Donnington ‘93 was Senna’s second best wet drive how the hell do you justify it not beating out several of the other top 10’s. This list is discredited for that alone.
He nearly binned the car in the barriers at one point, so he was lucky to even get to the stage where he was able to pit for fresh wet tyres. It was those fresh tyres that gave him the advantage over much of the field. In my opinion it was a very good drive from a young driver, but not "great"
@@davothedon if it was mainly due to the fresher softs, then why wasn’t Ricciardo also storming through like Max? The way he kept that car out of the barrier isn’t just luck. He has done tricks like that on multiple occasions. Hate to break it to you, but Max is quitte clearly the best wet weather driver of the past decade.
@Klementoso I can't think of a great wet-weather drive from Riccardo, so that's not a surprise. Fresh softs? Either a typo or you didn't watch the race? 😁 Aquaplaning at high-speed; I'm sorry, but it is luck if tyres eventually find some grip, while you float on a layer of water, and regain control. Is Max one of the best in the wet? Yes, he is. But he is not the best on the grid in the wet.
If I remember correctly this presenter is the men that Autosport made at the final race a letter to Verstappen to not crash it was one of the most embarrassing things a journalist has done.. ofcourse this man not putting verstappens 2016 drive in..
Not going to argue with any of your choices - they're all fair opinions. So I think you should read the comments for a part two. You don't necessarily have to rank them as "least best" (you can't use "worst" in such a list!) to best, but just have the name, event and story. So, onto "the honourable mentions"! Max's has to be early in his career (early? It could be argued he's still early in his career now!), Brazil, after a spin with, what, 15 laps to go(? It's 00:45 and my brain is scrambled. I'm relying on others to fill in the actual data!), and a "moment" on the straight where he caught the car. Unlike some vastly more experienced drivers, he continued on without touching anything, ending up in third. He had next to no real experience racing any cars at that point, and IMHO it was the first time we truly got to see his natural abilities (much like Lewis in Silverstone, and Senna in Portugal... And so on). Even some of the doubters regarding his right to be in F1 were impressed, and it underlined (non-doubter) David Coulthard's statement that "if you're good enough, you're old enough." And that day above all up until then, he proved beyond all doubt that he was good enough.
Massa's Silverstone race in 2008 made me think, that there should be a Top 10 list of low-points or worst performances for champions or race winners. Obviously one should exclude crashes, because even the great ones crash at some point, and that doesn't mean they underperformed. But like Bottas at Baku 2021, that was just a horrible race. Or Schumi in China 2004.
@@rockzs74r Quite the opposite. Button was actually far more popular than Lewis when he was still in F1. You never heard the British media say a bad word about him whereas Hamilton always got heavy criticism from Martin Brundle and Eddie Jordan.
@@Euclides287 I don't think we watched the same broadcast mate. He was always targeted back then especially before his Honda days. And yes when they were teammate the British bias clearly favour Hamilton. You can even check the old forum on the internet or even old. The hate on button is still there written on the unerasable digital footprints
I watch a F2 race in hungry where it started wet and it dried near the end. One driver was super quick in the wet attacking drivers here and there, then it started to dry and one driver at the back started to catch the car in front. Lando noris was in f2 at the time. Who won I forgot but the race was great to watch.
Aggregate. Stupid pronounciation, had to read about the grand prix to find out what it was. Basically at the red flag they keep track of the gap between drivers and at the end they add the gap again. Like in Football when they play home and away and add the matches together. In this case, before the red flag Schumi had about 6 second lead. After the restart, Hill pulled away from Schumi and finished 10ish seconds ahead. So the aggregate was that Hill won by 3.5 or so seconds
Peterson 1978 Austria Villeneuve 1978 Montreal Massa 2008 Brazil Verstappen 2016 Brazil Honorable mention: Bellof 1984 Monaco With respect, the Damon and Keke wins shouldn’t be making this list. Definitely Damon’s best win but he had the better strategy, while Rosberg’s win was reflective largely of the tyre decision.
The ONE greatest wet weather drive is Brazil 2016. F1 calls it "mesmerizing". Not only did you not even mention Max, I had to put on the captions to understand the video. "Quick, we need a video, make something before noon!", was it that?
@@Euclides287 I'd say a 19 year old, going on outside of the eventual world champion, having one of the best saves we've seen in wet weather and going from 15th to 3rd in about the same number of laps deserves a place here
I am pleasantly surprised. Stewarts win is clear number one I agree. It is solid evidence that most people are pretty ignorant if they vote Donnington ahead of that Lotus win for Senna. As you rightly said Senna himself had no doubt it was better than Donnington (which it blatantly is). There are other amazing examples too but a list is always controversial. Gilles should be in there for me but I think its a pretty good ranking IMO.
I think Clark's drive should be second. He won by 5minutes on the OLD Spa, which not only was the fastest track in the history of ths sport but arguably even more dangerous than the Nordschleife. Also, he did this while driving one-handed on a car without powersteering. (Due to gear lever issues)
The video says "wet weather drives", but they are all just wins. You can have a great drive in the wet without winning. But if it's just wins, how about Button 2011 Canada, Barrichello 2000 Hockenheim?
2008 British gp. Massa had wrong throttle mapping issues basically giving too much throttle even when barely touching it. Korea gp 2010 that was the slowest gp I can remember
Why should aggregate come back? It seems needlessly complicated and while it makes for a more luck based outcome sometimes, rain is an outside factor at all times anyway.
People mentioning *Canada 2011* either don't have a clue or didn't watch the race. Button was awful and made several mistakes when the track was wet. He even took Lewis and Alonso out of the race. It was AFTER the red flag when the track had dried up that Jenson made his recovery on *slick tyres* with the aid of the *safety car* to bunch up the field a couple of times.
Re: aggregate timing - it doesn't really suit a safety car-heavy F1, it suits a formula where race-stoppages are the only form of race suspension used.
Agree. I think all restarts for stoppages MUST be from the grid. These Safety Car restarts just let the fans know that it’s really too wet to race but they need to get in the laps for the money.
You're English, aren't you, because you just forgot about an English pilot Jason Button. It seems to me that this video is from an important institution, at least for me AUTOSPORT and you shouldn't be so biased towards English pilots. It is not worth remembering the great champions who had great races like Nelson Piquet, Max Verstapen Alain Prost, etc.. One advise, redo the video.
A british channel do a unbiased top 10 = british bias 🤡 They even put underrated drivers like beltoise but you keep crying on british bias while it's the same thing for all others countries. World of hypocrite
So wth Number 5 what you are saying is that Raikkonen drove a better wet race but was screwed by his team? Hamilton's drive was nothing special. Overrated. In the same race Barrichello came from 16th to 3rd. Autosport - your home of unabashed Hamilton loving. Would give Sky a run for it's money.
Yeah I’m usually taking the mickey with the hyphen race bc of their clickbaity titles and fluff pieces but it’s only because these newer outlets have freed us from the ultra biased views of the old outlets.
The hate is real Once again it's hamilton who get the most critics for no reason. Hamilton was faster than vettel in monza 2008 why you don't cry about it ?
@@alexlacl8730 For a few laps sure in drying conditions... Surprised that isn't on Autosports top 10 given it's about as relevant as the drive they have in here. Also it's not hate, it's called realism. Maybe you should take a dose of it for once instead of using the rose coloured glasses of idiocy.
Bellof had some incredible wet weather drives
Monaco 1984 Last to 3th
Portugal 1985 Last to 4th
Both races were overshadowed by Great drives from Ayrton Senna
Rest in Peace Stefan Bellof
Rest in Peace Ayrton Senna
Had the race continued Bellof would finished 1st (he would be dsq because his car is deemed illegal).
The fact that Verstappen's 2016 Brazil GP is not in here is a shame. Lauda said it was the greatest drive he had ever seen
Would he have catched the 2 Mercedes if there was still more time??
Verstappen Brazil 2016.... unbelievable
It's obvious why they don't have Verstappen 2016 Brazil. The hate is strong. He was ONLY 18 and came from last to 3rd in 14 laps I think. Definitely not worth a mention 👍

Silverstone 2008 was one of the greatest day in british motorsport
Lewis Hamiltons Rookie Wet weather drive and Winning is very Underrated in such a strong way.
Barrichello, Hockenheim 2000 win in the wet is also an honorable mention.

Fuji 2007
I really like this presenter. Well spoken and clear context. Please more of this presenter :)
Hamilton's Fuji race in '07 is so much more impressive than his '08 Silverstone race, which is still up there as one of the sport's best wet drives.
Schumacher had another 2 brilliant races at Spa. One in 1995 which he won after holding off Hill on slicks during a shower. The other one, in 1998, was cut short by Coulthard's shenanigans.
Add 1997 to that too - awesome wet weather drive
In my opinion, I would have added Gilles Villeneuve at the 1981 Canadian GP. He finished 3rd with a broken front wing. Legend!
YES - a very inspired performance! It was the epitome of what the man was all about - NEVER EVER give up or giver in - unfortunately that mentality ended up being his downfall....
Damon’s ‘94 Suzuka drive was overlooked at the time due to the battle between Allasi and Mansell.
As for the fastest lap the first time they had a formation lap at the 1975 German race that was minuets faster than the race pace, due to using the access road to make a three mile lap rather than the full fourteen.
Damn all the kids crying about Max's 2016 Brazil race like we need the recognition of this guys channel to know he had a brilliant drive, like chill tf out we know he drove exceptionally.

0:47 "and the race would be decided on akwkwk"
Don't understand?
Aggregate. Stupid pronounciation, had to read about the grand prix to find out what it was.
Basically at the red flag they keep track of the gap between drivers and at the end they add the gap again. Like in Football when they play home and away and add the matches together.
In this case, before the red flag Schumi had about 6 second lead.
After the restart, Hill pulled away from Schumi and finished 10ish seconds ahead. So the aggregate was that Hill won by 3.5 or so seconds
Peterson 1978 Austria
Villeneuve 1978 Montreal
Massa 2008 Brazil
Verstappen 2016 Brazil
Honorable mention:
Bellof 1984 Monaco
With respect, the Damon and Keke wins shouldn’t be making this list. Definitely Damon’s best win but he had the better strategy, while Rosberg’s win was reflective largely of the tyre decision.
The ONE greatest wet weather drive is Brazil 2016. F1 calls it "mesmerizing".
Not only did you not even mention Max, I had to put on the captions to understand the video.
"Quick, we need a video, make something before noon!", was it that?
Here's the link, so you can have a look: ua-cam.com/video/tf71xPW2Ej0/v-deo.html
You must have started watching F1 very recently to put that one on this list. Max was great but not as good as the ones listed on this video.
@@Euclides287 I'd say a 19 year old, going on outside of the eventual world champion, having one of the best saves we've seen in wet weather and going from 15th to 3rd in about the same number of laps deserves a place here
I am pleasantly surprised. Stewarts win is clear number one I agree. It is solid evidence that most people are pretty ignorant if they vote Donnington ahead of that Lotus win for Senna. As you rightly said Senna himself had no doubt it was better than Donnington (which it blatantly is). There are other amazing examples too but a list is always controversial. Gilles should be in there for me but I think its a pretty good ranking IMO.
Fernando alonso. So many example to say
Schumacher! ❤
8:23 Mark Schumacher?
😂 he said Mark at the beginning too. 0:30
What about Jos Verstappen in the 2001 Malaysian grand prix in his Arrows-Asiatec.
I think Clark's drive should be second. He won by 5minutes on the OLD Spa, which not only was the fastest track in the history of ths sport but arguably even more dangerous than the Nordschleife. Also, he did this while driving one-handed on a car without powersteering. (Due to gear lever issues)
Where's Button masterclass drive in Montreal? 🤔
he had many errors in that race and took out both his teammate at the time lewis, and his future teammate alonso
@@TheTororist he also pitted 6 times😂
Mark Schumacher?
Senna
Brilliant insight, mate. /s
The video says "wet weather drives", but they are all just wins. You can have a great drive in the wet without winning.
But if it's just wins, how about Button 2011 Canada, Barrichello 2000 Hockenheim?
Meaningless without video!
so what was the race track for #1?
2008 British gp. Massa had wrong throttle mapping issues basically giving too much throttle even when barely touching it. Korea gp 2010 that was the slowest gp I can remember
Missed the 2016 Brazilian GP? BB
No, sorry, but no. the absolute best, Senna in Monaco in a Toleman. A TOLEMAN and he would have won had Balestre and Ferrary not robbed him.
0:04 add the drivers, who Al complain unless they are leading.
Why should aggregate come back? It seems needlessly complicated and while it makes for a more luck based outcome sometimes, rain is an outside factor at all times anyway.
People mentioning *Canada 2011* either don't have a clue or didn't watch the race. Button was awful and made several mistakes when the track was wet. He even took Lewis and Alonso out of the race. It was AFTER the red flag when the track had dried up that Jenson made his recovery on *slick tyres* with the aid of the *safety car* to bunch up the field a couple of times.
Hamilton took himself out of the race.
@@michaelmiguel9032 Nope. Button took him out. Couldn't see him in his mirrors. He said it himself after the race.
@@Euclides287 Hamilton took himself out. You don't race like that against a team mate in that weather.
@@michaelmiguel9032 Jenson turned into Lewis, not the other way around, mate. 🤦🤦
@@Euclides287 Like Rosberg turned into him in Spain.
0:32. Mark Schumacher?
Re: aggregate timing - it doesn't really suit a safety car-heavy F1, it suits a formula where race-stoppages are the only form of race suspension used.
Agree. I think all restarts for stoppages MUST be from the grid. These Safety Car restarts just let the fans know that it’s really too wet to race but they need to get in the laps for the money.
Forgotten how ugly the 2008 cars were.
You're English, aren't you, because you just forgot about an English pilot Jason Button.
It seems to me that this video is from an important institution, at least for me AUTOSPORT and you shouldn't be so biased towards English pilots. It is not worth remembering the great champions who had great races like Nelson Piquet, Max Verstapen Alain Prost, etc..
One advise, redo the video.
A british channel do a unbiased top 10 = british bias 🤡
They even put underrated drivers like beltoise but you keep crying on british bias while it's the same thing for all others countries. World of hypocrite
How objective is the Brazilian media ? Be honest.
Unbelievable!!! Max is not there on this list... clearly shows hate 😑
lots of great drivers missing... lots
Villeneuve?
So wth Number 5 what you are saying is that Raikkonen drove a better wet race but was screwed by his team? Hamilton's drive was nothing special. Overrated. In the same race Barrichello came from 16th to 3rd. Autosport - your home of unabashed Hamilton loving. Would give Sky a run for it's money.
Yeah I’m usually taking the mickey with the hyphen race bc of their clickbaity titles and fluff pieces but it’s only because these newer outlets have freed us from the ultra biased views of the old outlets.
The hate is real
Once again it's hamilton who get the most critics for no reason. Hamilton was faster than vettel in monza 2008 why you don't cry about it ?
@@alexlacl8730 For a few laps sure in drying conditions... Surprised that isn't on Autosports top 10 given it's about as relevant as the drive they have in here. Also it's not hate, it's called realism. Maybe you should take a dose of it for once instead of using the rose coloured glasses of idiocy.
1. Winkelhock.........the rest
Fernando Alonso Hungary 2006
Max??????
En Boutsen won ook alleen in de regegen
No video? ... just talking?
Kmag
🤦♂️
We needed a likable Brit for #1, hence not Lulu, because there was no American available in the history books.
Mario Andretti at the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix.
Just say you want a white British driver and keep it honest.
Sir Lewis Hamilton, the proud Brazilian with an American accent.
Summarised it very well, ax2643.
