Something often forgotton about this race is the driver's championship after Hamilton won this race:
Massa 48
Raikkonen 48
Hamilton 48
Kubica 46
What an intense start to the second half of the season
Makes me think what if Kubica didnt spin out and got a decent amount of points in that race...
@@gvdc the issue with kubica is that sauber stopped developing their car in 2008 to focus on the 2009 car. He still finished 4th in the championship i believe, but it was a way off the leading two. In the end, the sauber next year was lacklustre due to it having no double diffuser. When he drove for renault, he was easily best of the rest and could've secured a ferrari drive for 2012 if it wasn't for his horrific accident
@@gvdc wouldnt have mattered as BMW didnt care
If Kubica finished in 4th place this race then he got lead of the championship. damnit that spin. Massa spin 5 time but he finished race. Kubica after 2 fails didnt finished... damn it
Robert Kubica driver błyskawica
No one going to mention Rubens dragging that terrible Honda on to the podium? What a drive
P16 to P3
the season after he drove one of the best cars he’s ever driven since the 2004 ferrari
Rubens is a wet races master
Great rubens barrichello
Rubens had a really underrated 2008. Outclassed Button that season.
He was a rain master. Unbelievable control
Massa was the original promotor of "mission spinnow"in this race
no.
but s🅱️inalla
Mattia: heello Massa?
Massa: yes?
Mattia:s🅱️inalla
Spinnow pays them 150 million
British pilot, where're?
Ooh!Yes, Hamilton... but is from Carabeen island!!
Oooh!! Hi hi hi!
McLaren, Williams, Lotus?
Ohh no! Lotus is DEAD!!!
The other? MISSION LIFE NOW...Haa....S H A M E ! ! !
@@homeperson11244
You know F1? Ooh!Fantastic! A British man, as Hamilton,haaa... I get it...
Carrabeen man....British....
But, where are you from? MARS? Boh...You are very bad shape....Sorry...Salut🤭🤣🤤😁👏🏽🤢🥶🤣✌🏽🇮🇹🤞🏼
"He came here to Silverstone, and He's shown them all, with one of the great great drives, at Silverstone." This part here gave me goosebumps, as the rainy clouds moved aside to give the young Briton his moment in the sun. I'm not a huge hamilton fan, but this is truly one of his greatest drives.
Shut up u sad fool
And then people dare say Hamilton is a bad driver and only wins because of his car…
This is real commentary. Croft would have ruined this
@@thomasconway95 what’s the commentators name?
@@proximacentauri3342 James Allen. He was great. You should also listen to his commentary at the end of Fuji 2007. Spine tingling stuff. Such a shame we have this Croft idiot for the last 10 years.
Ferrari screwing Kimi's strategy....once again....they really went downhill with their race strategies after Ross Brawn left the team with Schumi after 2006. I really dont understand what they were thinking when they decided not to change the tyres...
these are hero or zero situations. If it started raining harder after the pistops it would have helped Kimi and we would be praisning their decision.
@@ksfreestylers1146 Perhaps, but Im just saying Ferrari screwed up Kimi's strategies SO many times afterwards as well that you could really write a book about it...Their managment and decision making went downhill after Brawn and Todt left, there is imho no question about it.
I honestly cant remember one race where their strategy in this kind of conditions would have been brilliant anymore after they left. All I can think of is other occasions where they ruined the race for Kimi with bad decisions like putting him way too early on wets in Malaysia 2009, screwing his quali in Austria 2015 by not informing him how much time was left, screwed him over in Monaco Gp 2017, handing the win to Vettel, not pitting him right after Vettel crashed in Germany 2018 leaving him out for another extra lap and not putting enough fuel in his car in 2018 Belgium quali....just to name few occasions where their decision making costed Kimi a lot.
@@Balnazzardi It's a shame really, he was quicker than Lewis but didn't even get a podium. Maybe if they didn't screw up his strategy he would've been in the title fight for the rest of the year and made the season better (not crash out of Spa under pressure). But they have screwed Massa, Alonso and Vettel enough times too. It would've made sense to just copy the leader's strategy when you're gaining on him, than make a ''gamble'' which wouldn't gain you anything since everyone was on the same strategy and you were faster.
@@markhenley3097 Indeed, like said I just dont get their decision making from 2008 onwards...similarly they put Kimi WAY too early on wets in 2009 Malaysia GP and I think also in 2014 in some race if I remember correctly, completely destoying those wet tyres before the rain arrived.
@@Balnazzardi yeah, ferrari became retard after brawn and todt left, till now.
Can't forget the outstanding moves of Nick 😍 He drove one of his best races in F1 that day
That was a beautiful moves by him
Quick Nick
One of the most underrated F1 drivers of all time
@@ItzKueken yes, would have liked to seen him at McLaren in those days. In the beyond the grid podcast, he said he was even seriously considered for a Mercedes seat
He should at least win a race in formula e
Why in the hell did BMW Sauber not focus on continuing to improve their 2008 car?!? Kubica could've won the championship that year.
I'll never understand that. It's like Red Bull stopping development, while Max would be in the championship battle.
Because, BMW only wanted won one championship and rest of a team didn't want "kill" this team.
Apparently, the target was to win the championship in 2009. It's baffling, to be honest. Any F1 fan would understand that the fact that you have a fast car now does not mean you will have a fast car in 5 or 10 races (if others improve and you don't). Let alone a fast car next season. They should have seized the opportunity then and there, in 2008.
@@kacperwojciechowski7544 im sorry but...WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAID?
I remember that BMW put most of their efforts into helping Heidfeld figuring out the car (he was struggling most of the season with car and tires) + looking to the 09 season. In hindsight they could've given kubica a wc contender
Hamilton in the rain is truely beautiful
Over 1 minute by Heifeld finished 😱😱😱
4:17 Kubica Championship Conteneder... I miss those times
Sure :(
we all do
Lewis always had that confidence in himself even on extremely harsh conditions. It's great to be alive and watch his achievements!
Driver of the day is Rubens Barichello. Man went from 16th to 3rd in a HONDA
Nobody seems to realize that
1994 Spa he got pole in the wet qualifying. Rubens was always class of the field in the rain.
Rubinho one of the best wet racers EVER!
People underestimate him because Schumi wiped the floor with him, not understanding, that most drivers wouldn‘t have performed better than Rubens against the Red Baron.
Boobi gets props, but this is considered one of Lewis's greatest victories. You can't give driver of the day to someone else.
Hamilton entered f1 to be a champion. He would have been a champion in his rookie year hadn't it been for the whole conflict with Alonso, but he didn't hesitate on his second year.
Well that and a dodgy gearbox
And in China where tyres which are worn to the canvas don't have much grip
Don't forget about spygate
If only he could’ve entered the pits correctly.
@windfall nah they could’ve had the drivers championship no?
Massa spins five times
five times?!
which also cost him the driver title ish
Massa was always terrible in the rain. He wasn't a bad driver generally, but he is most definitely one of the worst wet-weather drivers ever.
@@xPERSHI no he's not terrible.. Brazil 2008 he's amazing but its just one of the off days to him.. yet the cost is very huge
S🅱️INALLA
@@ferryfernandus1423 Yes he is. In the rain. I said he is a very good driver, just not in the rain. Races like Brazil 2008 are one-time odds. But look how he drove in the rain for most of his career. Especially later on in his career. The german commentators were even predicting that he would spin whenever it rained during the race, it really was that bad. I'm not trying to badmouth Massa, since he was allways one of my favorites. But still he really wasn't good in the rain, that's - sadly - just a fact.
Lewis was already a master driver at this point. What a start
One tends to forget Nick Heidfeld, but in my mind he was one of the most underrated drivers of the 2000’s and he was mighty in the rain. He passed two cars in one move twice in this race!!!
He passed four cars in two corners on the last lap of Spa 2008, P7 to P3.
What he could have done in the McLaren we'll never know.
Yup agreed. That race at Spa was really impressive too. He was as good as Button in the rain and I think he was the best wet weather driver in the post Schumacher era. Hamilton is excellent too but has made a few mistakes in the rain like at Nurburgring in 2008 and last year at Hockenheim.
Simon Donald If he actually got a seat in a championship winning car, who knew how fast he would actually be
galaxynoatakara agreed. Even a race winning car. That 2008 BMW was the best car he drove and he got 4 podiums and 2 fastest laps in it. I think he could have been a solid driver.
One of Hamiltons greatest performances in f1
Imagine questioning Hamilton’s commitment to racing
This was Nicole Scherzinger Lewis Hamilton
They are pathetic aren't they... It's just the car.. NOT
@@MagicAyrtonforever wut
@@MagicAyrtonforever eh
@@MagicAyrtonforever its just the car
Still prefer these compact cars before 2010.
Also miss Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and BMW Sauber.
Take a drink every time Massa spins.
Than I would be drunk for a whole week
I'd die of alcohol poisoning
I would fell asleep quickly
You would be like Kimi in fia gala
So drink 5 times.
I ruined the joke haven’t I?
This is the race that defined hamilton's championship winning season.
Vicious_ Cide i think this race defined that hamilton is a Champion but in This senson he Win for the mistake of Ferrari
Hungary also did
@@FBmichallSB Yeah! You could also maybe include Australia as well, these races showed he was destined to become a great driver..
Ok so lets say that nothing happened at canada and singapore
@@Rezcuz He's dreaming again. LOL
1:35 he just took the original corner
These moves by Heidfeld were extremely impressive
Goosebumps everytime I see Lewis exit that final corner and hearing all those airhorns
Massa made a lot of mistakes that season and he was still able to fight for the championship. 2008 Ferrari was for sure better than 2008 McLaren
The car great the strategy same quality,shit
Alex de Lesseps nah you know alonso would fall out with the big cheese and sulk for the rest of the campaign
I was sat at Luffield that day. Got totally drenched but still to this day it was the most exciting race I have ever witnessed live (last years race coming a close second). Never seen so many spins on one corner! One of Lewis’s best drives.
0:45 The design and colors of Hamilton's helmet are awesome! Great tribute to Senna 🇬🇧🇧🇷
G. Schirmer Jr. I’m not sure It’s a tribute to Senna. I think it was because Lewis’ dad, Anthony, wanted yellow and bright colours on his helmet so if he was in a crash he could be found easily.
Henry Atkinson idk if your being serious but that doesn’t sound right at all
It was his regular helmet design at the time, not a senna tribute
O.J Fresc I am being serious and I’m pretty sure I read it somewhere.
O.J Fresc Why wouldn’t it sound right it’s a perfectly good reason I would have thought.
Take a drink every time Hamilton spins.
You will not have the drink sorry.
I'm not Kimi!
No Kimi no, you will not have the winning strategy.
Germany 2019, HAHAHA
@@dsar8727 That's a slide lol
2011 hungary 🤷🏿♂️
The most impressive part of Hamilton's drive arguably came when he was half a second off the pace......on the wrong tyres.
Webber signature move, slow start :D
Also no one mention Barrichello's 3rd place finish.
Great qualifying for Redbull (P2.. haha, yes no.2 driver), throws it all away before Stowe corner..
Nick Hielfeld is really Underrated
Barrichello too!
Heidfeld*
Not really. He had his moments but overall he wasn't anything special
word him and Kubica were an insane duo
@@kubaklimowicz2312 he got 13 podiums in cars that weren't favoured. shut up if you don't know anything please.
The sounds of the crowd are incredible, never really realised how much I miss them in modern races
What are you on about? Silverstone is packed every single year.
@@MashiatCOD99 oh for sure! But the atmosphere just isn't captured in the same way any more. Like you can really hear and feel the excitement when Hamilton wins in a way that you just don't get today. They only seem to capture the commentary and some engine noise (and of course nyeowm guy from the us gp a few years back!)
Silverstone is always best crowd
Imagine an alternate universe where Kubica didn't injure his arm in that horrific crash
Or Massa after his Hungary accident
@Peters6221 he could have gone to mercrdes
Goid sound
Nick Heidfeld is one of the most underrated drivers
2022: THROUGH GOES HAMILTON!!!
2008: THROUGH GOES HEIDFELD!!!
Can somebody give Hamilton some credit for that drive. How can people hate this man so much
Where do you wanna begin?
@@Americalovesme2008 Anywhere that isn't a pathetic reason to hate someone 🤣
I dont hate him, I just dislike him while respecting his skills.
Because he is black and rich something every white person fears.
@@strictlyhiphop1422 Yeah thats why so many people hate michael jordan, mike tyson, and other black athletes.
One of the best rain drives of all time
Rubens celebrations on the podium are full of joy
Shit strategy for Kimi, Lost victory or Easy second position
Ferrari Strategy
Ferrari screwing him since 2008 :(
@@overundersteer5953 Montreal, magny cours, silverstone, spa, Lost victory for kimi, monaco and Singapore Lost points for his mistakes, but at the end of the championship this points made him confortable
Ye, I really dont understand what Ferrari was thinking in that occasion...or in many occasions since Ross Brawn and Jean Todt left the team....
I think it just goes showing how brilliant those 2 were when they lead Ferrari, its been downhill in management and strategy every since they left Ferrari after 2006 and 2007. I mean you could write a book about how many times Ferrari screwed up their strategies since then... and especially with Kimi. Another 2 "good ones" come to mind from his last year with Ferrari in 2018. First in Germany they completely froze in shock after Vettel crashed out and didnt pit Kimi right away, instead of leaving him to track for 1 extra lap....potential win lost there. And In Belgium they screwed up his quali by not putting enough fuel in the car if I remember correctly and that left him in bad position for the race, which then was ruined right away at the start crash.
No way he would won as it rained harder afterwards but yeah probably lost second place
The start from Hamilton though, from 4th to almost the lead...legendary.
Definitely miss the air horns at the races....
Btw why we don’t hear them anymore ?
Seconding the air horn question.
@@critiqalerror Because there's no racing happening
I was wondering the same thing. Used to be a literal blast to hear those. Maybe it's because one air horn sounds more exhilerating than 20 engi- uh.. power units =D =D =D
You still hear them at Silverstone
you max fans still sure its just the car?
Missing those times with Heidfeld and Kubica in a competitive car. 🤩 great to watch
I miss the old formula one
2:24 what a suprise a bad Ferrari strategy
I was looking for this comment
Rubens enjoying every bit on that podium. What a sight
5-6 seconds a lap quicker is just too crazy
Massive drive from Nick Heidfeld... very underrated driver imo!
not only is this one of hamilton's best drives, but one of heidfeld's as well. Wild race
5:12 I love Rubens so much
Heidfeld with two doubletakes on two world champions, what a legend
These cars look so much better than the current season..
1:26 "F1 cars can't fly, they have too much downforce"
Force India: hold our Cobras
Thaaaaats racist
Broo, just look at the sides of the car. It says Fly mate, it was intentional to showcase how good Kingfisher air transports are
Max also flew over the kerbs after being hit by Vettel in the 2019 race.
Fly kingfisher 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🥲
Until today, I still can’t believe Renault swaped Nick Heidfeld out in 2011 although he scored the teams podium and consistent points🥺
A great performance of Nick Heidfeld that Day. He made some superb moves there.
Peak F1, Peak Hamilton, I will never forget that season.
2007 was great too, and 2009 and 2010 as well. Other than 2012 and 2021, we had one team dominate each season ever since, which I find a bit boring tbh.
Rain in 2008: WOW!!
F1 Actual: RED FLAG, SAFETY CAR, RED FLAG, FURTHER ACTUALIZATION IN 1 HOUR, 2 HOURS, 3 HOURS,...
Na there wasn t crazy much rain there they would race after 5 laps of safety car start
yeah but after Jules died in such conditions they had to take some responsibility and precautions. I prefer safe and sound drivers than the dead ones... Q_Q
@@KNDCHV true but back then the krane came on the track aswell so that was a disaster to happen for decades i still remeber the eu gp where 4 cars crashed at the same corner and 1 actually hit the crane just soft and with the back
innerFire The curve of the jules accident is very dangerous in the dry, imagine in torrential rain and with a crashed car. They only took out a double yellow flag !! We don't need more security, we need no more negligence like that
Considering today's cars throw out way more water and the aero makes it fly into the air way more, visibility is even worse now compared to then for the same amount of rainwater.
5:03 Comical podium celebration from Barrichello 😄
"sambadinha"
Verstappen and D2S fans be confused
I wish team verstappen and D2S fans would watch the likes of this

Great race from Heidfeld with "two double overtake"
This is the video i was looking for , Heidfeld make two doubletakes. Brilliant. Thank you
Brings me back first and only grand prix I've ever been to when I was 11 years old great weekend
Kimi lapping 1 second faster than Hamilton
Ferrari strategist: Hold my coffee
Hooh! My friend! YOU DON'T KNOW COFFEE...
You remember Hamilton's strategy for win in 2008?
Whit a very dangerous accident! S H A M E ! ! !
@@Pancio27 thing is, Ferrari has been a strategy screw up for the longest time, and this is one classic example of how they lost thanks to their own making.
They sometimes seem like they'll win, but that's when the man at the pits messes up
IMO, 2019 would have been competitive between Merc and Ferrari if they had the right man for the job. Leclerc was wonderful on the wheel, but the strategies were just messed up
Not funny
You know this is old when the crowd roars at Hamilton taking the lead
they shouted their lungs out in 2019 when he overtook bottas and later came out in the lead after a safety car. and it wasn't even an overtake. but the loudest I heard Silverstone was his pole in 2007
what like they did a few weeks back at silverstone.. the land of true racers. your comment made NO sense
Guessing you don't watch F1 then
Lol nope still cheering in 2021. Just like Italians will always cheer Ferrari winning at Monza. If social distancing wasn't in place he'd probably still be crowd surfing 😃
Nah Silverstone will always cheer a Brit. I can imagine it’ll be for Russel this year, but the screams will be the loudest if Hamilton is first across the line
2008 cars are just absolute beauty especially Ferrari and BMW Sauber
The drive of Nick Heidfield was genius!
How many times do you want to spin?
Massa:Yes!
ErAirlines Lmao!
Oh the last few words of the commentary on this clip.... spellbinding right up to the last corner of the last lap of the last race of the season. Well predicted, James
Awesome moves by Nick Heidfeld!!😍 He isn’t called ‘Quick Nick’ for nothing👍🏻 Wished he had stayed a little longer in F1

They are literally built no differently. Look at Verstappen in Silverstone 2019, his car was in one piece despite going airbourne.
It just bounced luckily. Same thing would happen with modern cars as well
