Brendon Hartley: The Unluckiest F1 Driver Ever? Ft.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2020
- Brendon Hartley's short-lived F1 career was rather forgettable to say the least. That was, of course, until now. He's had so much success in other premier motorsports, but just not in F1 - but why?

‘Oh yeah, and he’s just won the 24 hours of Le Mans again’. Take that Red Bull!
Exactly! Bet they'll come crawling back sometime soon...
Proving he's better in enduro than single seaters....
...Or are Toyota and Porsche better (relatively) than Toro Rosso?
*Angry Helmut Marko noises*
Brendon & Seb Buemi: In your face!
wait Buemi still connected to RedBull
Hartley is now a 2 time Le Mans winner. He won this year with Toyota!
Indeed he did (as I mentioned at the end of the video)!
Shows you the levels between f1 drivers and wec
I think he just have bad luck with f1, but if he do something different he's fine
He should stay in WEC.
Lee Green Toyota has basically no competition. That and outright cheating are seemingly the only way they can actually win anything.
Respect for Josh, he has been supporting channels like crazy now, nice video aswell
Yeah, agreed. And thank you, glad you liked the video.
Stepladder
Josh: I’m about to create this man’s whole career
It's funny you say that because I could've sworn this video IS one of Josh's. Seriously JWF1, you've got quite a similar style to Josh
Is that a good thing? I’ll take it if it is!😅
I've always felt sorry for him, especially since he's a damn good endurance driver. Reminds me of Kamui Kobayashi.
Same. But at least he has the Endurance success, right?
@@JohnWarren But Kobayashi does have a Rolex 24 win.
I feel like Kobayashi could have been a solid midfielder if given more of a chance in F1, I'm still salty Sauber dropped him for someone mind you who hasn't and still hasn't done jack shit/anything noteworthy, well maybe being a current test/sim driver for Mercedes, since his GP3/F3 days (Gutierrez) which is why I never liked Sauber after that, them dropping 2018 IMSA DPi champ Nasr solidified my dislike or hate for them. Glad Kobayashi has found success though in Endurance Racing because he's a jet there, he's running the 24 hours of Spa too in a few weeks.
Jackie Tang not much else they could’ve done. When you’re a team that doesn’t ha e money, and Mercedes or Ferrari come knocking, you don’t say no, especially if one of those teams is your engine supplier.
Yeah. Maybe not the fastest, but definitely more reliable and less wearing on the car. Obviously some of the main skills of endurance racing.
Brandon Hartley looks like he could be a Power Ranger or Machine Gun Kelly.
Well if he’s Machine Gun Kelly,
He prolly shouldn’t come into music
Krappy Frappe mgks music is actually half devent now as hes found his style of music rather than his old style.
He looked like the typical 80s hair metal band member to me
He is the New Zealandish Jesus
Hartley at F1: average
Hartley at Porsche LMP1: *GOD*
100% facts.
Exactly, he, Timo and Webber were destroying everything in 2015 and 16
Helmut Hoppe yes pal. Lieb, jani and Dumas were lucky they got to call themselves world champion. Porsche already said they would prioritize the car which finished higher at Le Mans
Well the 2 Was trying to bring the WC home after LM while the #1 had to catch up because they scored only 2 or 3 points. But the #1 scored 4 wins in the rest of the season while the #2 not even got a Podium because the Audis and Toyotas lost points at some Events they couldn't get in again. It felt like the #2 was on cruise Mode after LM
The thing the surprised me the most is that he's 30 years old. He looks like he just graduated high school.
Exactly! He’s aged well...
Hartley has been really unlucky in his f1 adventures and definitely could be a hulk or k-mag midfield type driver, I liked him in his brief stint but it seems like he's found his calling in wec so I wish him well
Me too - I think if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and he’s performing spectacularly in WEC so why go back to F1?
I don't think he is as good as hulk. Kevin is in the sports mainly because of his backing. Even if Hartley is truely as good as Kevin (which he probably doesn't because of Kevin's experiences in F1) , he probably doesn't deserve a seat.
@s1mple I hope so!
yeah i always felt he deserved a second season. I remember towards the end of the year, qualy performance from him was similar to Gasley's
he could've ended up like ricciardo but ended up winning two 24 hrs of le mans
Brendon Hartley: The Unluckiest F1 Driver Ever?
Nico Hülkenberg: hold my beer
Why does Hartley only get one shot at F1 but Daniil Kvyat gets five?
It’s true! And it’s not like Hartley was an awful driver either. That’s not to say he was perfect, but it was his first season so he deserved a bit of leniency in my opinion.
Putin power baby
Money. If you bring the coin, you'll get the drive.
To be fair, Kyvat has been much better as of late
@@johnwest6565 yeah, he is finally getting the hang of it after seven years...and still screwing up a lot
6:28 "A little sus to me"
You've been playing some among us haven't you?
Yep...
Who hasn't?
0:35 The most aesthetically pleasing car on the grid that year. _Eye candy gem._
It sure was!
Still the most aesthetically pleasing car this year too.
Personally, I feel like Brendon Hartley is one of those drivers who struggled on open wheels and do well in SportsCar Series. I’ve seen it for some IndyCar drivers who did struggle in IndyCar and went to IMSA
Hartley was supposed to be in IndyCar. He was signed by Ganassi until Red Bull bought his contract out to go to Toro Rosso.
InvisibleTeeth Hartley was supposed to be in IndyCar?? I had no idea he was gonna be in IndyCar
@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT he was signed for the Ganassi 10 car cuz Rosenqvist couldn't get out of his Formula E contract.... Then Red Bull paid Chip quite handsomely for Hartley...
So chip had to resort to plan F.... Ed Jones. Lol
Obviously in the end Chip got Rosenqvist anyway.
InvisibleTeeth yeesh😬
At least Hartley can say he raced in F1, something many young drivers vy for but sadly less than 5 percent of them will ever get a chance and even then they may not be fair ones either which is why GT, Endurance Racing etc is in my eyes the future place for young drivers to make it big in and no longer F1 anymore. I can name couple of drivers I liked that never got a fair shot in F1 i.e Nasr, Sitrotkin, Wehrlein, Vandoorne etc.
been seeing Josh being featured on different F1 related channels eyh, he's so funny
Isn’t he just!
"I've built this channel on being unnecessarily offensive to underperforming drivers" ... and that's why I subscribed 🥰
Glad to hear it mate!😅
I was cheering for Hartley and Gasly during the 2018 f1 season 🙌
It's sad how redbull let him down like this
Yep. He’s not the first victim of course...
hartley working for the ferrari masterplan
master🅱️lan ™️
Love that channels like these are growing and that bigger channels are helping
Me too not gonna lie! And yeah, it's really nice of Josh to get involved with this.
Imagine him and Nico Hulkenberg in the same team: they'd end up either as the most unlucky team or they'd spend their unluckiness instantly and become the luckiest team of all and have multiple podiums and wins.
These are quality videos, in content and editing. Its a shame that a great channel like this has so few subs and gets little attention
Thank you so much mate! I’m not too bothered about lack of engagement at the moment - everyone’s gotta start somewhere, eh?
Loving your videos mate. From 302 subs on the 18th of May to over 1k, good job.
Thank you mate! Yeah - growth has been crazy and I hope I can accelerate further from here onwards!
JWF1 Yo mate wtf 3k subs already, what happened?
I feel like you could've gone more in depth into his F1 season to highlight his unluckiness such as talking about Monaco where he got taken out by a Leclerc brake failure but other than that, a great video. 100% gained a subscriber here.
Yep, me too. I've got loads of exams going on at the moment so I sadly don't have the time, but I would have done if I could. Thank you for the sub, though!
6:27 THAT'S WHAT IMPOSTOR WOULD SAY
Indeed...
Joshua Fancher seems kinda sus to me...
@@JohnWarren Idk, I'm thinking about voting you yellow
I scrolled thru the whole comment section, there is a one theme that keeps on popping up, the gesture of you giving everyone a like even though its just a plain comment. Wow such appreciation
I am so glad somebody else sympathised with this guy. His 2018 season really was cursed.
I have been waiting for this video for ever, thank you for making it :)
No worries - I really enjoyed making it and I hope that shows through!
If you are unlucky with Honda
Go to Toyota
Unless it's Toyota in F1.
We don't talk about Toyota in F1.
@@lorddrac_dontaskmetodance did you get my joke??
Just thought I'd say this video popped up in my suggestions and I enjoyed it, watched a couple of your other videos and subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more great content. :)
Thank you man! UA-cam algorithm is definitely being kind to me lately... I hope I don’t disappoint with the upcoming videos!
To be honest if you keep this up, your channel can be big!
Keep up the great work :)
Great video, quality is really up there
Thank you man! Much appreciated!
woah thank god for josh, i have just discovered a new favourite f1 channel!
Indeed - thanks to Josh I’ve doubled my sub count in under a week! And thank you mate - good to have you here.
new subscriber here👍🏾, great vid! by the way, what is song in the background of the vid called from about 6:15 until the outro?
i feel as if not much would've come through for him, even if he stayed. Enduro was his calling, but he did not show much when he had an ideal day in f1. Respect to him for trying though, and I hope that he continues to show how good he is with the Enduro cars
Yeah you might be right to be fair. Endurance is definitely his thing, and as you said, big respect to him for trying, and even bigger respect to him for finding his real strengths in WEC.
This is my first video of yours I've watched, love it. I'll be watching more.
Thank you so much mate! Growth has been really good at the moment so it’s great to have you here :)
Id still take Scott Dixon over Brendon Hartley in terms of Kiwi open wheen drivers. Dude has literally been knighted in New Zealand.
But you forgot to mention that he was signed by Chip Ganassi to partner with fellow Kiwi Scott Dixon in IndyCar(the ride Felix Rosenqvist now has) and Red Bull bought out his contract before he ever even sat in the car so he can run at Toro Rosso. So, he could have had one of the premiere indycar seats and got to run a Toro Rosso shit box instead. The only winner in that deal was Chip Gannasi... Who was reportedly paid well to buy out Hartley's services.... Of course, Ganassi had to then hire Ed Jones.. And... That didn't go well.
Hartley has had some incredibly bone headed moves in sports cars too. Him being in a P1 running over some GT car is something that has happened quite a few times with him behind the wheel... But hey, got that Le Mans win!
Great video, hartlys f1 stint was heartbreaking to watch as a kiwi with hige love for lotorsport, i was so stoked when he won le man this year tho
Thank you for making this video. Felt bad for the poor guy, defo deserved a second chance.
You’re welcome man, and yeah I do too, hence the video...
@@JohnWarren keep the vids coming
Will do man!
I've just discovered your channel and it's great. Keep it up.
Thank you mate! I’ll try😆
Thank you Josh for suggesting JWF1!! 👌

Awesome! Thank you!
I'm from New Zealand. And yes his father does have motorsport background. He is the owner of Hartley race engines. Which is the main engine used in New Zealand speedway stockcars and superstocks. He works along side Peter Rees from rees race cars to build these cars. And is the most successful stockcar and superstock builder in New Zealand. With over 400 stockcars and 200 superstocks in New Zealand. Is not a small time sport. Look up New Zealand superstock teams. And you will see how busy he can get especially on teams weekend.
Congratulations John. I got 7 Ads and I watched all of them in Full Just for your Bank Account
Cheers mate😂😂
7? I only got 2
Haha lucky! Honestly I think youtube are putting way too many ads on my videos - sure, it earns me a bit of extra cash but I’d rather the viewers just enjoy the content😂
Hartley has caused a fraction of the damages than Kvyat. And he definitely has driving ability, what with winning Le Mans 2 times. His luck in F1 stinks.
Can someone please tell me what the music at th beginning is
Springtime Stroll by Secret Crates
The first GP that I caught live on TV was Canada 2018 where he had that dramatic crash. The race afterwards was quite boring but I did remember that crash quite well.
The race after that was France I believe so that makes sense! I was also watching that crash live and boy that was a big one!
Same as Bruno Senna, didn't get a fair go in F1,but has proved his talents in the world endurance championship
i was not expecting under 5k subs its really well done and thought you had more like 100k subs.
Wow! High praise indeed! Thank you man!
Didn’t know Tom Petty was an F1 driver
I think the problem really rooted to mindsets that "F1 is everything".
Hartley was sign for Chip Ganassi Racing for 2018 IndyCar season, which one of team i consider as "dominating". Imagine getting a seat where top 10 finished were guaranteed, winning is a possibility on regular basis, and a team that had very good track record at Indy500. hell as someone that seeks opportunity i wouldn't waste it because when you're shine with Ganassi, you're motorsport career would've least been guaranteed a joyful living. Then he threw it away for a seat in f1's mid-to-back markers team... (Sure Gasly won the italian GP in 2020, and took 6th place in bahrain 2018. But the performance of Toro Rosso during those time were not-so-much-great compare to "wow he took pole for Indy500").
I was hoping f2 prodigee could learn of this and look for the value of racing in a series before even thinking put a drive there. Guys at Formula E are already told many drivers that going to F1 are either could be your best decision or worse decision of your life
I agree with you here - I have huge respect for IndyCar, especially oval racing, as being that close to each other at 220 mph is scary at the best of times. And there’s definitely a mindset that F1 is the ultimate goal, and I still believe that that’s the mindset of most people, including myself up until recently. I guess this was just another of Hartley’s unfortunate decisions.
Honestly love this channel you’ve got a sub from me bro keep up the good work!
Thank you so much man! Appreciate it :)
He was lucky getting the seat in the first place. If Kvyat would have reacted to his demotion like Gasly did a few years later, there wouldn't have been a free TR seat.
Your video’s have improved a lot!
Cheers mate! Improvement is the goal!
Congrats you just earned a new subscriber after watching just one video :)
Welcome aboard man! Thank you for your kind words!
He was supposed to drive for Chip Ganassi in IndyCar, but then he backed out that deal to "race" at Torro Rosso
Good to see him winning elsewhere to be fair, nice video mate!
Indeed it is - and thank you man!
He's my most favorite F1 driver ever! He is my flair on the F1 subreddit! He's so handsome ♡
Another banger! Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you so much! I’m working on several scripts at the moment and I can’t wait to start editing!
Awesome video mate
Thank you mate :)

Brendon hartley the unluckiest driver of 21 century?
Alexander Wurz: Allow me to introduce myself
I saw that sly Prince Charles comment😶. Great video, keep growing big my guy :)
Haha I assume that didn’t resonate well then...😬. Thank you mate, I’ll try of course! :)
He is a driver who seemed like he had some good skill behind the wheel but just wasn't good enough to be called the top 20 drivers in the world.
Yes bad timing but he should be happy for getting a chance at f1 at such a late age and also finding success in WEC and other endurance series.
I didnt follow the sport as much a decade ago as I do now but compare him to the current f2 field and he would be bang average - perhaps comparing him to Jehan Deruvala a current red bull junior who's showing a bit of promise but isn't there with the big boys just yet.
Only 4 or 5 guys max in the current f2 field will eventually get a shot in f1, just how it is atm with lots of young drivers cementing their place like Leclerc Gasly Sainz Stroll Russell and lloris who will be in the sport for the next decade.
I agree - he definitely had ENOUGH skill but he was perhaps not as worthy as some others who had a shot at that seat. I think what sets him apart is his age and experience with Red Bull as a team - having worked with them since, well, forever, he should have had a good grasp on what the team wanted. Shame they got rid of him to be honest.
Yeah at least he can say he raced in F1, something many young drivers nowadays will never ever get a shot in.

Nice video brother!

Mans collating with Josh Revell
I agree Brendon is such a good driver pitty his F1 didn’t work out. 👍🏻He recently won the 2020 Le Mans again a talented guy in endurance racing. Hopefully more wins and championships in LMP1 Toyota team as I feel he is remarkable
He certainly is a remarkable driver. It’s no small feat to win the 24 hours of Le Mans twice a that takes immense skill and dedication.
Thanks to Josh, I'm your new subscriber! Sadly, his Toro Rosso season was just a big wallflower moment...other than that crash with Stroll...lol
Thanks to Josh, I have a new subscriber! Got to have you here. And yeah, I wish he had a better season with all of my heart, but clearly it wasn’t to be, and I’m glad he’s seeing success in WEC now!
@@JohnWarren its harsh really. Maybe he just isn't meant for F1. Drivers thrive better in different areas. Happy for Hartley with the WEC. That's a pretty damn good word to have on the resume.
Boom12 it sure is! I reckon he would have a decent crack at F1 if he had enough time to settle but oh well...
One of the key stories to his career was when Porsche announced their LmP1 program, he sent them a resume and called them to convince them why he deserved the seat in their team. Pretty cool, and shows his determination.
True - that story is actually really similar to George Russell and Mercedes!
"axl Hartley doesn't exist , he can't hurt you "

Hartley was supposed to be contracted to Chip Ganassi in Indycar, but then Toro Rosso snatched him.
I swear the amount of times red bull have dropped and brought the drivers back is giving me a whiplash!!
PS: I don't know how i feel about long hair Brendon.
Haha yeah they can’t make their minds up can they?😂
And if you want my opinion, I’d rather no hair than brendons hair...
JWF1 Really tho?? No hair?
Also just followed u on insta and damn i did not expect u to be a cricketer😅
Yeah, honestly, I think the bald look would suit me😂😂
And thanks for following me! What did you think of the “exertion face”?
JWF1 To be honest its more like a constipated face😂😂 No offence
Also the way u bowl reminds me of an indian bowler whos name i cant remember. I will get back to u on that one tho.! Also just a guess, ur a fst bowler?
Are you thinking of Jasprit Bumrah by any chance?
I liked him very much. He had lots of bad luck in 2018. Thanks for the video.
Yeah, he did indeed. And I’m glad you liked it!
Its worth noting that Hartley had signed to with Chip Ganassi in Indycar before he was offered the race seat at Toro Rosso
Yep. It’s a shame really. Red Bull had the big bucks and bought out his contract before Hartley had even seen his Indycar.
He was never F1 material. He is a very good WEC driver.
Yep. And RB had Gasly, Albon even Kvyat who are clearly better than him. Not to mention they let Sainz go. Hartley just could find a spot in the red bull talent pool
@@barsoktay2119 He is better off out of F1
When’s the JWF1 Discord Server going to go from Beta to Public?

@@JohnWarren Weird to think that when I started following you, you had about 100 subs (I think) - now you're on your way towards 2000 and the sub count is constantly speeding up. I predict many great things coming from this channel.
P.s. Do you have an 'official' Twitter account for this channel, and have you considered Twitch streaming? Maybe discuss F1 stuff live while playing F1 2020 etc.
Maybe you could even do a Discord 'chat show' type of thing where viewers can join and discuss F1.
IDK these are just a few of my ideas feel free to ignore them if they sound crap to you.
Yeah, it's mental right?! And honestly your support doesn't go unnoticed, and I'll forever recognize you as one of the OG's when, or if, I grow to Josh Revell's numbers. And yeah, my Twitter is @JWF1_ - you'll get updates regarding future videos there before anywhere else. I'm definitely considering streaming if my wifi's up to the task, and I think it'd be a really good idea to just chill out every now and again and just talk with fans, be that on Discord, Twitch or even here on UA-cam! So in short, none of the ideas are bad ideas, and when I get my wifi fixed I'll be able to make them a reality (I hope).
Anyway, cheers for the continued support :)

Almost...
Worst thing for Hartley that year was that every time it looked like he was on for a good result bad luck stepped in. He never had a chance to build any momentum.
Just look at Canada. He gets an engine upgrade with more power, shows great pace throughout the weekend only to get taken out due to no fault of his own after a 1/3 of a lap. Dude was just cursed that season.
Yep. RB failed him, as well.
Such an underrated driver. Never thought he'd be a world champ but I feel like he should've had a longer f1 career.
Absolutely. Reminds me of Hulkenberg in his style - would never be a champion but he should’ve had more of a chance.
also interesting to mention he had a contract with chip ganassi to go indycar racing in 18 with fellow kiwi scott dixon , the team who won the championship that year and will probably win it again this year. it could have been a very different couple of years had he not chosen to sit in the f1 back field
This is true... I heard that RB paid very handsomely for Hartley. I guess you’ve just gotta have priorities, and in Hartley’s case, he had the wrong ones.
Hartley is the 21st century's Henri Pescarolo; dominant in Endurance Racing, but as far as F1 concerned, not all that good
Pretty much!
It’s very surprising to me to the fact that a little country at the bottom of the planet is the birthplace of some of the best drivers Motorsport has ever seen !, Bruce Mclaren, Mad Mike Whiddett, Chris Amon, Denny Hulme, Brendon Hartley, Scott Dixon, Scott McLaughlin, Rod Millen, Steve Millen, Rhys Millen, Greg Murphy, Peter “ Possum “ Bourne, Hayden Paddon, Emma Gilmour, Darren Kelly, Gaz Whiter, Daniel “ FANGADAN “ Woolhouse & Carl Thompson are some of my personal favourites
New Zealand is a good place to be a racing driver, what can I say? Loads of talent and just as many places to use that talent.
That guy voice mogged JWF1
Hartley's run-in with Stroll was the second time in as many races he got taken out by someone else at the latter's home race as a brake failure sent Monaco's Charles Leclerc of then-Sauber plowing into his car's rear
Yep. That Monaco incident was scary. i watched both of them life, and the Canada one looked pretty docile compared to Monaco's monster shunt.
this channel is like josh revell with Tommo F1 styling (but with yellow)
There really are some skilled drivers that aren't "meant" for F1 - not unskilled, just more meant for other types of motorsport
Brendon is a Le Mans LMP1 winner, he is a quick boi
He is indeed. Such speed.
This video just makes me miss the toro Rosso livery
I got to sit in one of his car's when I was 9 in 2005 had no idea at the time he would be an F1 driver
Wow - how times change!
You forgot Felipe Massa while scripting this video
Here ya go mate, have my sub😎
Thank you man! Legend!
He was never meant to be anything more than a stop-gap driver. He's made his mark in WEC and everyone knows exactly how good he is in a car.
Fair point.
Whatever happens, Brendon Hartley will always have been a Formula 1 racing driver, which is more than can be said for hundreds of others.
True.
Him being Ferrari strategist explains a lot ..
