Its scary. Honestly. And it become clear over the last few years that not all of the teams seem to get the same punishments for almost identical fouls. . .
It’s the combination of both. 2021 showed stewards and the race directors have clear favorites for Hamilton and Verstappen, yet we considered that season as one of the best seasons in F1.

Red Bull were slower than their rivals on several occassions in the last years. The difference is that Max is simply a way better driver than Hamilton and that RB are way better operationally than Mercedes ever was at any point of their 8 year dominance. Stop coping.
@Reaz399 Red Bull quite literally had a very competitive car in tracks like Brazil, Hungary, Monaco, Singapore, Mexico, Austria etc. during the Mercedes dominance. The only thing holding them back was their Renault engine. The Red Bulls Max had been driving then were much better than the Mercedes cars Hamilton has been driving since 2023. Stop making up facts.
Checo is plenty slow in some races in the dominating team's car. Max is the actual best driver in the actual best car... that is the rarity in this current era.
I love your channel and this video is, as always, top notch, but I dont know how I feel about the use of "almost killed Lewis".. Although there is no doubt to how bad this could have been, and it was a possibility, it almost feels like using it to get people to click on the video. I have no problem with that on its own, but I just dont know how I feel with this specific wording being in the title. Just a very bad scenario to imagine and I dont think that stuff should be used in that way. Maybe "Lewis narrowly avoids dangerous debris"? Its also avoids people thinking Leclerc tried to murder Lewis or something.
Felipe Massa literally survived getting struck directly in the head with a heavy spring at high speed. So, I believe Hamilton would've survived some light weight carbon fiber. But still...
Dont get how he wasnt disqualified when his mirror wasnt even on the car anymore? he could never have safely defended without knowing whats happening behind him
Pretty sure mirrors is required according to FIA technical regulations. So his car was technically not even legal according to the regulations after his mirror disappeared. The stewards really slept on that one!
@@Yes-vh7lm Alonso got away with that in 2022 Austin, well... after a massive fan protest anyway. I think it's only required before the race, lots of cars take some damage that takes certain parts off the car during the race. The fact he drove with it almost hanging off and nearly clarted drivers with two pieces of debris being the end plate and mirror should've meant a DSQ though, if the mirror fell off right after the collision it would've been whatever but he drove like it for laps and laps, not to mention Hamiltons mirror also come off, granted a result of Leclerc driving a car in an unsafe condition so would probably be excused regardless of regulations i imagine
The Ferrari bias from the Fia in 2019 was crazy. Waiting until the end of the race so the penalties dont impact Leclercs race too much and not even penalising him for driving around without seatbelts in Spain.
it's not just 2019 buddy, it's been like that since the 70s, obviously there's exceptions for certain years and cases but there's one of those for everything.
@@barcafan94 it was up and down, Seb also did deserve a penalty in Canada, as much as i hate to say it, he did nearly clart Hamilton into a wall when re-joining the track, doesn't matter if it was an accident it was an unsafe re-join regardless. If it being an accident meant it was fine almost all penalties wouldn't be valid as most incidents are complete mistakes
0:27 I believe Bottas got such a good start, because he reacted to Vettels small jump start and his reaction time delay happened to line up perfectly with the lights out.
F1 drivers are just incredible human beings! they can drive at 300km/h with one hand, and the reaction by Lewis to evade debris flying off.. wow. just wow.
Can we be really clear here? Leclerc did not "almost kill Hamilton" - even if, on video, a piece of Leclerc's car flew up and hit Hamilton's halo or mirror. The race director failed to order a mechanical flag be shown to Leclerc, and the team made the choice to stay out because the car's performance was sufficient to continue. Neither of these decisions are on Leclerc. The title should be changed.
Lewis’ dodge on the back straight was pure class alongside leclerc sending it full speed through 130R with one hand reaching across on the wing mirror. Both incredibly impressive stuff.
@@AgainstWokeness Drove with a dangerous car that's falling apart and asking to stay out with such dangerous car, did you see the video? Only cared about himself, didn't matter if he literally kills someone
Nice jump start. Oh, I remember this, on the back straight? He was kept out multiple laps with a broken mirror and it flew off. Should definitely had the team fined or penalized severely (not a grid or time but point deduction)
Helmets nowadays are built to survive hits by debris or gravel stones at racing speed. Otherwise, it would be a bloodbath... I remember Ocon's (?) hand being hit by a gravel stone. Didn't cost him a finger either. That's like saying an asteroid narrowly missed earth... by a million kilometers.
It was unbelievable the stewards allowed Leclerc to race with that car. Not only Hamilton had to dodge debris, Norris as well (he even had to pit to have some debris removed). This could easily have ended differently, had Hamilton reacted slower, although the halo may have rescued him anyway. The craziest thing about the Leclerc inchident was that he hit Verstappen's car with his mirror as well.
I wish F1 would put the Aeroscreen around the Halo soon before any of these parts hit a driver, but knowing F1 they will wait for something bad to happen first to take action, luckily Indycar has already been using the Aeroscreen for a few years and this means that by the time F1 wants to use the Aeroscreen the problems with heating and visibility will probably already be solved.
If anyone is having any doubts about that endplate...A composite piece of carbon fiber cured with an epoxy resin and maybe some aramids mixed in there....Carbon fiber shards are already bad enough to cut yourself and can puncture skin....Add momentum from a car going 300 km/h and it could have been a bad enough hit, especially if it hit the visor part.
Yeah that was very dangerous for them to let Leclerc go around with those bromen pieces... but at 2:17 it's the most impressive thing I can remember I saw doing by an F1 driver! + We saw the fastest F1 start in history made by Bottas! 2:20 why the Monaco voice line?
That's the most impressive thing you saw from an F1 driver?, Hamilton in this clip dodged two pieces of debries at 300 km/h, this still may not even be the most impressive thing done by an F1 driver, but it's more shocking than holding a mirror at 300 km/h
@0:40 there is also something razor sharp flying towards Hamilton and maybe there was a car behind Hamilton, too. It is striking that in the last 2 years, almost nobody was called into the pit by the stewards for a damaged car except Magnussen.
Leclerc was holding his left mirror, his endplate broke off Lewis' right mirror and then Leclerc's mirror flew off it was not a good day for mirrors - specifically Charles' - apparently

Holding the mirror doing 300kph through the turn flat out lol.
2:36 - 2:45 : yup, you're pretty spot-on here! This is probably one of the major flaws/limitations of the Halo, in my opinion. Which is why I think Indycar's Aeroscreen is a much safer system, in that regard.
Hey bro, can you record comparison of AMR23 last year at Suzuka here, and AMR24 ? Because that almost 2 SECONDS difference is....fucking huge haha, AMR23 - 1.30.4 time in Q2, AMR24 - 1.28.6 in Q3
"If it had flown to the center the outcome would have been worse" No, it would have hit the center of the halo. Hamilton was not "almost killed" by Leclerc.
endplates are sharp it would've been a Massa type event, and there's a large gap just beside each centre i think the better world would've been "more central" as in closer to the cockpit area rather than directly in the middle, i don't think that's what they meant, they didn't mean directly in the middle but closer to the cockpit meaning it could enter the gap. Almost killed is also subjective, a large piece of sharp carbon like that is going to knock you out, and being knockout approaching 130R is like a Massa crash but at top speed in the same corner bianchi crashed, granted no service vehicle, but not a good time anyway edit: sorry bianchi crashed at dunlop curve, forgot, i haven't really bared to watch or read much about that crash since i witnessed it live, tragic event

Hey bro, can you record comparison of AMR23 last year at Suzuka here, and AMR24 ? Because that almost 2 SECONDS difference is....fucking huge haha, AMR23 - 1.30.4 time in Q2, AMR24 - 1.28.6 in Q3
How was Leclerc not black flagged for this
That debris can never kill on impact, however it's dangerous.
did anyone see on the starting line that Vettel jumped the start a bit
"If it had flown to the center the outcome would have been worse"
No, it would have hit the center of the halo. Hamilton was not "almost killed" by Leclerc.
endplates are sharp it would've been a Massa type event, and there's a large gap just beside each centre i think the better world would've been "more central" as in closer to the cockpit area rather than directly in the middle, i don't think that's what they meant, they didn't mean directly in the middle but closer to the cockpit meaning it could enter the gap. Almost killed is also subjective, a large piece of sharp carbon like that is going to knock you out, and being knockout approaching 130R is like a Massa crash but at top speed in the same corner bianchi crashed, granted no service vehicle, but not a good time anyway
edit: sorry bianchi crashed at dunlop curve, forgot, i haven't really bared to watch or read much about that crash since i witnessed it live, tragic event
doing 130R single hand😮
That is insane, never knew that it flew off and hit Lewis.
Jump start just noticed it haha
from Vettel ?
How the fuck did he dodge that
Just as all other drivers so in F1, they are trained for it
20 second pen for Alsonso
Helmet safety is a lot better since Massa's incident so I seriously doubt a piece of endplate would kill anyone.
Bro the ferrari on the left had almost a false start
5s is a yoke, a yoke
if I remember well, he did get a black and orange flag just before getting in the stands (way too late tho, indeed)
Think how wired Lewis must be to react that quickly to the debris
