A Williams Formula 1 Documentary: How F1 Champions Became Backmarkers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- The Williams Formula 1 story is one I've worked on for months to explain how major F1 champions fell and where exactly was the turning point. Let's explore the half century history of Williams F1. A team once synonymous with champions. Subscribe for more F1 Stories: bit.ly/2T3TGbK
I have wanted to do this video for years. To thank you for all your support, I wanted to give back to you in a video I poured a lot into. Not just time. My passion, energy, and creativity. The objective is to help people see Williams were at one time the top of the food chain. And their behavior today, while it may seem stubborn, it makes sense when you see what they had to go through to get here, especially Frank Williams.

Amazing job
Great content yet again
Thank you for doing it. It was a job well done. I remember doing the survey, and voting for Williams. I was dismayed at the few votes it got. Thanks for seeing the broader picture.
Man that made me cry. I’m serious.
Great content as always. Senna and Frank Williams always get to me. So great in the sport, however tragic.
Williams target in 1997: We have to beat Ferrari.
Williams target in 2004: We have to be equal with Ferrari.
Williams target in 2019: We need to avoid been lapped by Ferrari.
lapped twice** haha
Williams In 2031:We need to keep existing more than ferrari
Actually, Williams deservedly beat Ferrari in 2014.
@@drybones7475 That was Ferrari's worst year in history.
@@mich722 You didn't see 1973, 1980, 1986 or 1992/93 sure
Holy crap dude, you’ve out done yourself with this documentary.
the worst part is I just had more time. the elements are all the same! I just gotta convert more of these millions of views a month into subs and I can do this multiple times a week! glad you like this one. it is abnormally long haha
Hell yeah he did.
@@CYMotorsport to be honest, I actually really enjoy these long videos, thank you for making them!
The algorithm might look more favourably on you if you were to maybe upload this story in chapters/episodes. May also help you release content faster and please us fans sooner! I do like the long form but also wouldn't mind if this was a 4 parter or even 2 parter
Exactly what I just said in my comment, it's not just a youtube video, it's a full blown doco! LOVE this guys work, intricately explained highly intriguing information. Just LOVE it! So stoked to find this channel, I've got a BUNCH of brilliant clips to catch up on! Yeeha!!! :D
So sad that Senna had the Austrian flag in the car when he died in tribute for Ratzenberger, makes me have even more respect for Senna. Such a tragedy.
That got me
CrankyYankeeF1 same here mate, great videos, Subscribed keep it up!!!
i hadn't realized that would affect Frank.
@@iLiokardoit only affected him because he was being accused of murder. I don't think Frank or Patrick were particularly bothered about Senna's passing.
@@jacobmassey3897 italian justice !!!!when money talks u can murder anyone !!!senna was always not the fia good boy....the sad for human race is that many ppl enjoy his death !!!to much dirt was covered about his accident !!
At least last season they had one pole: kubica
Pole is a bit too much. It was one point am afraid. There’s hope though: Williams might end this season on par with Mercedes, Ferrari and RedBull. 😉
@@Conservator. I meant he's polish mate, it was a joke 😂😂😁
TEPMARMY
🤣🤣🤣 Oops, you totally got me!
Gigakubica
Alex Snitzer EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
- *Claire Williams fiercely taking notes*
In all seriousness I would kill to see williams make a come back. I love and underdog story
yeah I was thinking that too. if they did, they must have gotten something seriously right which would be awesome to see. I mean they did exactly this in 2014. it's not THAT crazy. it just feels like it now
@@CYMotorsport in 2014 they were handed the best engine on the grid, if you didn't have a Mercedes engine you were nowhere. Did any other engine even make it onto the podium that year?
@@tonyb9735 into the podium? Yeah.
@@tonyb9735 ferrari and renault engine lol
Playing F1 2018 as Williams, I’m gonna bring the. Back lol
Didn’t even realise this was 48 minutes long, I’ve watched this sport since the mid 90’s and couldn’t agree more with your assessment. Great video 💪
hell of a compliment! glad to have ya - more to come!
I started watching f1 in early November 2021 and I already know a lot
@@loganlitle3954 Glad to see new fans taking an interest in the sport's history. It really puts the current standing into perspective.
In Remembrance of the Founder of Williams Grand Prix Engineering.
R.I.P. Sir Frank Williams (April 16, 1942 - November 28, 2021)
He'll never be forgotten...
Felt like i watched a professional documentary. Keep it up my man. This vid is soooo lit.
Closer and closer to how I want the videos to ultimately be. Still don’t have enough time but soon I can do it 100% full time and these will be twice as good!
So lit? Grow the fuck up dumbass
@@Burningarrow7 Ok boomer. 😏
@@Burningarrow7 Ok boomer. 😏
@Elly Rust So lit? Grow the fuck up douchebag
I'm looking at this documentary just as the news of Frank Williams' passing emerged. Thank you very much, Sir Frank! We will miss you very much, Old Papa Frank!
"Unfortunately in 2003, Raikkenen and Montoya were let down by reliability issues"
*Laughs in FIA mid-season tire re-regulation*
I’ve avoided Schumi content long enough. It’s time hahah. There’s a reason I made a 50 minute documentary on williams before getting to the tough stuff haha building some karma hopefully bc Michael fans aren’t going to like the next few.
@@CYMotorsport *eyes emoji*
Such real view. That Monza 2003 GP and the races that followed were some real farces, because of the FIA (Ferrari Insurance Agency) intervention in disqualifying the Michelin tires and forcing the French manufacturer build the new tires in record times. And all of that just because the McLaren 2002b and Williams FW25 were a concrete threat to win the title that year.
Late reply but, the FIA didn’t change the tyre rules, Michelin were found to be breaking the existing rules and actually avoided punishment some how. They were lucky not to have had their results disqualified back to 2001.
So yes they had to change their tyres, because they were breaking the rules with the ones they’d supplied until then that season and got found out…
The 96 Williams is one the most beautiful cars ever ran a f1 race.
And I hope Williams will be back on top, maybe 22,with the new rules...
Hills car might go down as the best looker for sure!
Me too, I started watching F1 as a kid when Williams were dominant, and hopping to see them back on top 1 day
Has any team ever turned it around from where Williams are now? They clearly don't have the right leadership in place.
@@tonyb9735 the right leadership? So it's Claire's fault? How is it so? She was the one who hired Massa and Bottas. She was responsible for 2014. How the hell is she completely responsible for 2019? Sure she has to be blamed. But to say she's not right for the job? That's a bit much. She clearly can do it, she just makes mistakes like everyone else.
No f-ing way they'll bounce back.
The suspension of the F1 season due to the Corona Pandemic will be the final nail in the coffin for Williams.
Holy crap 48 minutes, perfect for the quarantine, thank you very much
twas the goal! thanks for your patience. and it's def edited start to finish - I didn't phone it in at the end or anything haha. actually editing Nico's part was the most fun bc they were so shit haha
Anyone here after George Russel’s P2 Quali/“Finish” at the 2021 Belgium Grand Prix??
It's crazy to think that Maldonado is still Williams' last race winner
20:35 Remember it like yesterday... I was 9... I was a Kart driver, because of him... And my idol died... 😢
I cried for weeks.... Still hits hard!
RIP Ayrton!
Need a video like this since I’m a new F1 fan because of drive to survive. Williams is like the Browns in the NFL to me great history but are trash now
yeah IMO most don't even remember. I ran a quick little survey last week and people voted the williams run as the least impressive of the five I listed. which is asinine. by far the most access to innovation across teams with unrestricted engine power. there was no tougher time to be winning formula 1 races. and they were smashing the best drivers in the world. consistently. across two decades.
F1 is worth getting to know if your a motorsport fan. don't believe the haters when they say its just a bunch of cars going round a track. The racing has been superb the last few yrs. it needs improvement, but that coming very soon.
Same bro, I’ve been listening to this guy and a guy by the name of aiden Millard. They do a great job telling f1 stories and talking about the history.
@@weignerleigner3037 aiden is FANTASTIC. Highly recommend and he tells the more nuanced stuff too
As an NFL fan I'd say maybe the Dolphins are a better example.
Post-quarantine, a review:
New ownership, and a new perspective on how Williams have decided to operate in the future. Taking the hydraulics and gearbox (on top of the engine) from Mercedes shows that Williams have decided to take a different direction, as CY mentioned they may need to in order to improve in the future.
And as we can see, with 4 points-scoring finishes, a podium and 2 top-3 qualifying positions in the last 5 races show that maybe they are on their way back. Outstanding video my friend, keep it up.
And now they are the shits again
In my opinion his the team’s downfall was when he didn’t renew the contract with Adrian Newey
Yep that was pretty awful. Newey started it then failure to secure bmw 8 years later
jj jz Head held on too long. Not giving Newey the job was putting personal loyalty above the needs of the team. They also should have kept Hill and Villeneuve for 98 and onward
Gary Lynch I also believe they were a bit too arrogant when it came to the drivers . They had the mentality of not paying the great drivers they had what they deserved thinking it was the team not the drivers that made them great. If they didn’t want to drive for a winning team they can go f themselves
jj jz Hill had to be robbed of the title by the best driver ever in 94. Even knowing this they got rid.
@@garylynch9206 i actually cannot believe they got rid of hill. for frentzen? its insanity. the same loyalty that made them let go of newey is completely disregarded with the driver choices.
This is seriously the best F1 channel I'm subscribed to fight now. The effort put into these videos is evident and the content itself is clearly treated with care. Not only that, I love video essays, so knowing there's a channel out there dedicated to F1 essays makes me very happy.
glad you enjoy it ! yeah just as a writer it's become easier to work off notes. but it allows for genuine story telling which I've noticed was missing in F1. thank you for the feedback. it's how i got here in the first place so good to hear it confirmed!
This and chain bear
Just discovered this to , anything about Dennis here, his legacy would surely be also a good topic for this channel.
Rise and fall of Williams from Aldas: exist
CrankyYankee: Release rise and fall of Williams
Aldas: Am I a joke to you?
.

Only a joke, great, great vid
hahah yeah he's a friend he knew eventually I was going to tell my version of the williams story. it was that story though is where I first chatted with him and wanted to make f1 videos so it's def full circle. plus this one was voted on by everyone haha. glad you enjoyed!
I was looking for this comment 😂
Spectrox (an unknown Hispanic content creator): *also releases a three-part Williams downfall video*
That last line is actually amazing. Incredible job. This is better than a lot of documentaries that I have seen.
Thanks Shaun. Sobering day for this piece given they walked away officially today
48 minutes packed with information! Took me at an hour to watch!
About being a constructor: I think Williams forgot to ask themselves at every decision: ‘How much will this contribute to getting points?’.
Developing your own gearbox is very romantic but if all teams use carbon fibre and you’re the only one that’s not and your costs are several times higher than the one you can purchase from Mercedes, then you clearly aren’t focussed to winning but focussed on engineering.
The same goes for the pedal box. You don’t win races with a pedal box, so just buy one and spend you scarce resources on aero and suspension.
Spoken like a true engineer haha it’s precisely how I framed it. How does this lead to wins? They made reactive choices not proactive ones
CrankyYankeeF1
Haha, just watched it again. Had to let you know. It worth all 48 minutes, ... twice!
And they just did that, well said man
@@Wahba. thanks!
Man, what an effort, I can't imagine how much time and energy was put into this video. What a production.
I can only hope you keep growing in a exponential way, you deserve it, the motorsport fandom needs it.
Thank you.
Thanks Pablo that means a lot
I was just watching the Netflix spotlight on Williams! Hahaha.
just one of those things no one really goes SUPER deep on but they just kinda know the facts. I actually didn't know Frank had such a good start with his first team to be honest. nor did I know they were being pursued over a decade after Senna died for those charges. anyways, hope you liked it! glad the algorithm crushed it haha
Rest In Peace Sir Frank Williams your legacy in F1 will be forever 💙🤍🙏
Rip Sir Frank
17:10 "With their stretch of four straight double championships" I love the subtle clapping he added to that
hahaha didn't think anyone caught it. I'm a psychopath and obsessed with little tiny things. you catch the mansell's groaning while talking about the '97 season haha i was laughing too much to myself
Bravo. Very well put together. Chapter 1 I never got to know. Again good job my friend. Keep em coming. Hope a Senna doc will be in your lineup. Frank gave Senna his very 1st F1 test drive.
yeah I've been exploring senna for a few years now in the background. this is the first I've ever even come close to talking it. I don't really like to talk driver deaths unless I have to so I try to give it respect when I do. the problem with senna is the legal case. id have to be careful much like my ferrari PU video but i think there's enough here to genuinely consider it! thanks for your feedback :)
CrankyYankeeF1 please make a senna video plsss
I like Williams too. I play them in F1 2019. I like their independence and the fact that they make stuff.
Great story. I notice it was written and produced and presumably narrated by another Williams.
Cool, do you know Claire.
No haha maybe I should pose as a family member and try to collect some payment for this free marketing haha
@@CYMotorsport I wish i did, she is gorgeous. Have you watched the documentary, Williams. Formula 1 in the blood, it is on BBC iplayer at the moment. It is really interesting as is your doc. Many thanks
Brilliant simply brilliant, I have always been a Williams fan and it’s been painful watching this team struggle. I have enjoyed your take and I agree with your take and let’s hope 2022 brings brighter things for Williams thank you Nick for your work on this story
Frank is a fighter, breaks his back and continues to fight, elite mentality 👑
Grade A+++ work, man. This was amazing and super informative. I honestly started watching it with the intention of grabbing a few minutes of info and ended up sitting and watching the entire thing. I hope this goes a long way in gaining more subscribers.
The amount of effort you put into your videos is amazing and I love every single one of them. Please never stop making them!
of course! I think it's easy to make little short stuff. but it's important you all now even without racing, this is all I really do haha. so long as that's clear, support will come. and the more support, the more I can. i'm only scratching the surface of what's possible :)
What an analysis mate. Your analysis of Williams’ recent failures kind of reminds me of what Chain Bear does with F1 tactics, skills by drivers, etc. Your extremely direct and easy to follow study made the nearly 50 minute video fly by so quickly.
That’s very kind all around. I’m grateful to be considered with CB - I’ve got a long way to go on a personal level in terms of my goals with this but eager to keep pushing! Always testing new editing tricks so I’m glad they are playing out!
CrankyYankeeF1 You should probably reach out to fellow analytical motorsport youtubers for a collaboration. It could give you an even bigger boost in momentum, especially when F1 fans are starting to notice that you’re a trustworthy source of information. Good luck mate, you’ve earned yourself a subscriber!
Another excellent video, mate. Really great. Exactly what I need right now. Thanks, mate. Keep up the great work.
very very good documentary!!! i love all of it... the structure, the research, the "advertisement" to other videos for context, pictures that where shown.... just beautiful!!
I truly appreciate your work. I just started getting into the sport, then, this. Your content is helping make me an even bigger fan, especially with the season on hold. Thank you, stay healthy.
and you, William! glad you enjoyed it. worth the effort thanks for the feedback :)
Awesome documentary. One of, if not the best F1 content channels on TH-cam. Keep it up!
of course! glad you enjoyed the video :)
Absolutely phenomenal video. Great work sir. The information and knowledge shared through your work has got me hooked on this sport. I seriously can’t get enough of your videos! Thank you!!
This is one of my favorite channels!!!!
We need you to upload more even though I know that all of your videos takes a long time to be made that good!
Thanks for this amazing content!!!
One of the best story tellers on this thing we call TH-cam.... Incredible content .. Well done to you sir.... hope you get the subs you clearly deserve
Thanks Barry! One at time that’s my goal! I appreciate your feedback immensely
Your documentaries are so informative and thoughtfully constructed. Thanks for doing what you do!
You did SO well with this. Williams were the team which got me into F1 back in 87 (Mansell) and it's sad to see where they are now. There is something very noble about what they are doing and I hope they get back. I genuinely like Claire Williams and would love her to get success. Thanks for this excellent video.
This has to be one of the very best documentaries that I've ever watched. You have structured this so well and I admire the amount of research, time and effort you have dedicated to this. You've earnt my subscription and like; infact I've even shared this. What a stellar effort sir!
All I can hope for! I appreciate the support and I’ll continue to keep improving is critical areas :)
Thank you, CYF1, for your well thought out and insightful analysis of Williams F1 past and present. I appreciate your honesty because I share the belief that one of the last of the great independent F1 constructors have earned our respect because they will never stop trying. Bruce McLaren and Frank Williams had a dream of competing with the world's best and they've done that.
yeah frankly whatever happens next for them, I saw they achieved it and then some. but if they intend to span yet another decade, they better act fast !
I love the way you break down the story before telling it. How you set it all up. We can tell you work your ass off to bring us these videos. Love them 💪🏻 keep up the good work.
It's genuinely... selfishly my pleasure haha the best win win we can have :)
Thank you for your amazing videos! Not many people appreciate the amount of research you probably go through. Thank you for your passion towards this sport. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
it would be impossible to get people to understand so I just stopped worrying about it and hope on the back end a small percent will like you then over time it'll sink in for everyone when they look around at the other content on youtube. thanks for your feedback and considering that bc it can be brutal haha
Excellent work!
Some thoughts:
I remember an interview of Gordon Murray I saw somewhere, he was talking about how things have changed compared to his time at F1 as a Designer at McLaren and the tight-knit committees of "two" or "one" making the decisions and how impossible it is to run a team nowadays - Part of it was old-timer dismissiveness (I think, but hey, the guy's brilliant) but a good chunk of it holds true I believe, especially now -
I can't imagine how difficult it must be to turn a team around, especially when morale is down.
One more thought, that I think, also holds weight:
A convergence of things happening! People "happening", luck and timing - We live in an age that the thought of success, lies exclusively in the notion of carefully executed steps, tight schedules and unrelenting principles of discipline, ad-nauseam buzz words and bar charts - It's the "gift" that the MBA's of the so-called 'business world' used to infect every single aspect of human endeavour, by carefully and gradually removing the sheer luck, pathos,(or passion if you like) perseverance against all odds and sentimentality that rightfully accompanies any difficult effort because without it you cannot and will not win - A state that then, allowed a Ross Brawn to be given a chance without having a degree, a state that now does NOT allow for such 'foolishness' - Its absence playing a major role in the Williams Team's demise as it has in other teams the past 20 or so years. If such parallels would be allowed, SpaceX would not have existed had it not allowed for a culture of 'letting things happen' a 'letting people exist more freely' ethos and the ingenuity that comes out of it - But hey, what do I know, I just like stories and machinery.
-Rant complete.
Love you work, such great content!
I appreciate the vote of confidence! I make it for you all so I'm glad you enjoy it keep the feedback coming
This documentary is one of the best out there in terms of telling a story of an F1 team, would love to see more documentaries like this on other teams aswell and their fall from grace, like Renault or Mclaren, apart from their recent resurgence
Thanks for all the amazing content! I recently found your channel and have started binge watching the videos. Keep up the great work!
great video, impressive level of research you've put in!
Thanks Rasmus! i'm glad you appreciated it. it was a fun one !
Thanks for this, bro. Definitely needed a pick me up after today to get my mind off things here.
i'm going have some curveballs coming to keep everyone on your toes. I'm not a great shoulder, not a particularly chatty person, but I do like to make content haha that I can handle for you partner. It's shit out there. Let's just talk F1 and pretend it's not a problem for 13-25 minutes a couple times a week eh haha
Is this Sébastien vettel?
Thanks for making this video. Exceptional research and well narrated!
Thank you for the video. Just found your channel. And right now with my complete and total fascination of the sport you are becoming a key component of historical knowledge.
For those of us who are not intimately involved in the Williams F1 history this is a spectacularly researched and produced video. I wonder if Frank or Clair Williams will make a comment filling in any of the holes or at a minimum to give you a "thank you" for diving into the story and give us this valuable content for the cost of a "like" and a "Subscribe". Thank you Yankee!
haha hell no she won't see this nor would she comment but its for you all anyway. as long as you are entertained that's good enough for me!
@@CYMotorsport As a fellow American I am proud that you produce the absolute best F1 content. Your analysis and fair-mindedness is admirable. Thanks again for all you do. **Williams needs to watch your video. Maybe seeing their story will give them perspective.
This video shows you have what it takes to reach a huge audience. Luckily for you everyone has to stay home(without any F1 races) so if you keep up these amazing videos you'll be suprised how fast you can grow by the end of corona...
yeah it's a balancing act. I've grown 40,000 in a few months. It's just about finding the most challenging topics and telling it in a way that is attractive. but to grow I have to be a bit quicker. thankfully you all are great and i'm able to do this more full time so I can be quicker after this monster. hoping your plan works - we agree on the strategy haha cheers seb!
I watched this when you first released it and enjoyed it then.. I just watched it for a 2nd time just now and I’m still super impressed and enjoyed it just as much. I’ve come to expect that from all of your videos though CY. You make the best documentary style F-1/motorsport videos on the internet for sure.
I don't usually comment on many TH-cam videos, but your fair and insightful analysis of the Williams Team over the years, prompted me to say 'Thank you'. As you say it's easy to say this person or that driver or the lack of something is what makes for the disappointing results, but it is far more complex than that. I really appreciate that you have spent time putting this together, well done.
Finally finished this and was well worth it! Brilliant production and a great detailed history of one of F1's greatest teams. I hope we haven't seen the last of their success days with them fading away into a footnote in F1 history, but in the current climate certainly uncertain times!
Williams are survivors. Competing In The highest ranking open wheel race league in the world, maybe not the best adjective to be associated with. But as long as there’s a pulse, they’ve got a shot. It’s gotten so low that’s all you can hope for is to ride it out. I feel for the factory and extended team furloughed. Thanks for your support guys!
Great video done man!
Thank you for your work!
It’s really amazing!
Excellent! High quality research and presentation! I've got one more subscription!
A staggering amount of talent has gone through that team. Amazing video, staggering work my man. It's a shame and it's a great thing for F1 if Williams bounces back. IMO.
It’s going to be very interesting to see what happens next that’s for sure!
Amazing content man seriously
thanks izzy! I appreciate you subscribing and supporting the chanel :)
Really very informative video, your passion towards F1 is admirable.
Thank you buddy.
Great documentary mate. Really enjoyed the way you covered the entirety of the Williams story. Looking forward to watching more of your vids.
I appreciate that - means a lot. I never know how it'll go especially when I spend so much time with content haha
Williams? How about Lotus just fading from reality.
Soon! The sudden death of Colin really drove that really
I would love if Lotus somehow came back and destroyed everything! The Lotus 72 is my favourite F1 car ever
@@CYMotorsport How soon is soon :D
Thank you ! Now I have something to watch while eating perfect timing!
hopefully it's so interesting you forget to eat haha
I’ve been waiting for a video from your channel during quarantine and this is far better than I anticipated
i'm glad you think so Cooper! yeah I knew I had to come out the gates hot bc of my normal content so this felt appropriate especially given they are in tough times if we cancel too many more races
This was nothing short of completely brilliant, touching and profound. An unbelievable amount of effort was put into this, and it shows so clearly.
You've outdone yourself, truly a masterclass. Thank you for making this.
I’m glad you enjoyed it Julian thanks for taking the time to check it out !
Thankyou for persistently making really high quality, interesting videos about F1. It’s a breath of fresh air for sure In what can be a pretty toxic community at times lol. Are you planning to do a video on the 2005 and/or 2008 seasons? Thanks
yeah I just accepted a while ago I have to make videos I myself could get through. and I don't really like anything that doesn't make me pause and look something up haha. so that's what you're stuck with. hmmm idk what did you have in mind ?
CrankyYankeeF1 I think that a season review video, particularly on 2008, would be really good as it was a close and (quite) controversial season. Even though me and the majority of f1 fans saw/know what happens in this season, it would be cool to see it analysed in a slightly more cut down, race by race way. Idk I just think the season review videos are really good and it would be cool to see your opinions on the controversy (mainly talking about Spa here) I think 2008 is a good representation of Ferrari and it’s ‘special’ relationship with the FIA so it would be an eye opener to people who maybe don’t know why there is a general feeling of fia bias towards Ferrari. It would be interesting for sure and your really good editing skills would definitely make it as if we were rewatching the season again! Thanks
F1 is also doing a replay of the 86' Adelade GP today (1/4/20) at 7pm GMT on the F1 youtube channel
yep my last video covered that specifically haha
Another great video! I appreciate all the research and effort you put in. I think your content is top quality.
As a youngster in the mid 1990’s, Williams was the only team for me. I really enjoyed the rivalry between Hill’s Williams and Schumacher’s Benetton.
Great video. The quality content I've come to expect from you. The Williams story is a fantastic one and the team have never lacked for grit and determination that's for sure.
yeah let's hope they can buckle down and get back atleast in the fight. they don't seem to even have the aero despite having the power
Hopefully so. It doesn't sit right with me, the idea f them joining the likes of Tyrell, Brabham and Lotus as great teams lost to time.
Just noticed the new logo and I love it.
yeah shit got sooo busy I forgot to do a reveal haha ah well. head down push!

Awesome video! I came across your channel recently but you really took it to a whole new level with this one. Your passion for the sport is palpable and the production value is really good. Hard to believe you've been at this for such a short time.
There’s no real secret trick! I just ask for feedback and you all are gracious enough to be constructive. I make documentaries professionally so I have a huge leg up storytelling and writing which I know can unfortunately be hard for most but everything else I’m thankful for you guys. I mean go listen/ watch to my older videos. You’ll laugh your ass off haha keep up the feedback! This really does mean something to me. I’m really thankful I can do it almost full time now and wanted to give back while everyone is in such a shitty situation around the world
There’s no better quality f1 content anywhere else. Truly, truly masterclass
Really enjoyed that. Having a lot of hip problems and that took my mind off the pain. My 2 favourite teams were Williams and McLaren, still are I guess. McLaren have started to claw their way back but I think the only thing that can save Williams will be the rule change (which I think has been moved to '22 now).
But great video, very well constructed and presented. Thanks for the hard work.
mclaren have a HUGE influx of saudi money too they can tap. not to mention sellling road cars. I believe that's going to be stroll's play too. he just quietly adjusted his deal with aston like a savage. I suppose you don't become a billionaire just smiling. and it's looking like it might move back to '23 on technical but financial will stay in place. that's LITERALLY impossible. not sure how they expect teams to live. I'm sorry about your pain - that can't be awesome. I'll respond and give you something to research like this whenever I can of course. I'll be picking up videos too. more to come!
Hope u can get it sorted soon
@@oxcart4172 well after 3 years of being messed about by the NHS I finally got a appointment for a CT scan which is been asking for. Then the virus hit and my appointment was cancelled (understandably) and I've been put on a waiting list! Been a bit unlucky. But I manage, just wish I could be more active with my son. He's only 2 and I'm sure he can smell weakness.
@@ReadyPlayerDog at least u wont go bankrupt trying to get healthcare here!
@@oxcart4172 Lol. To be honest I'm not sure if it's more or less cost effective. We pay more in tax than you guys do but our health care system is just underfunded. Either way thanks for the message. I've lived with it for a long time now so kind of used to it. Broke and dislocated it at 18, was ok until mid 30's then started having problems. Had a few operations already but nothing's worked so I'm wondering if the problem is what the consultant says it is hence wanting a CT scan. Ok, lol, that's enough! You don't want to hear my medical history in a F1 chat!
Really missing the racing this year, was expecting a really good season. Even though they will probably just run this year's cars next year it means the well off teams can do more development work which the little teams just can't afford to do. So instead of seeing a closing up, which I expected this year, the gap might just get bigger. But who knows really. Nothing is certain until we get this virus under control.
On this day Sir Frank Williams passed away at the age of 79
Rest In Peace
I have just watched four of your videos. I have to say that you are doing a fantastic job with your production and insights. Keep up the excellent work fella. Well done.
Love your clips - this is basically a documentary on the subject! If this was on old timey TV - put in 3mins of ad's every 12mins, and you've got the better part of an HOUR long program!
Ain't the future awesome? Back in the 80's/90's, you'd be LUCKY to get this kind of information in the fine print of an F1 specialist magazine. FABULOUS work dude - keep it up! I've just subscribed in the past few days and am currently binge watching your stuff. LOVING IT! Cheers!!
Thanks so much for this man. You're doing the most to give me my f1 fix
I really gave it my best go. I know shit sucks right now. I feel your pain. might as well just stuff it down with some F1 content haha. I'll be be making a lot more just wanted to give williams their fair go
I would love to see you do a video on the 1994 season regarding benetton .
Really amazing work. The amount of hard work you've put in and your story telling... Everything is great.
Thanks chetan! A lot more coming
This is so freaking well-done! I'm speechless this is so good
I appreciate that very much. I dug my heels in. I wanted you all to know if the time came where something big was needed, on this channel I can produce it. but I can also shrink it down and create shorter stuff faster with the protection of growth in subs. more to come!
Surprised they were never bought out, the glory days are long, long behind them. BMW was the reinvigoration they needed but that was 20 years ago.
They had a few chances to be a manufacturer works eg BMW but turned it down hence why they lost them. When they lost their designers, they lost their edge. I’m not sure why they let it happen maybe out of loyalty for head but similar to Red Bull today, newey isn’t the technical director. They could have done and likely made him happy. Just guessing obviously but they did have a shot just a shame they didn’t take their chances when they had them
Seeing this knowing that Sir Frank Williams died today hurts.
Only discovered your channel this week in an attempt to fill the F1 void, and I’ve already watched all of your content, amazing work. The research, editing, narration, all on point, you should be working for Sky F1. Keep up the good work my friend!
Thanks so much for your content it has well and truly re-ignited my love for F1
Im one of the few that voted for williams, just cause i saw the length of time dominating. That means more to me. Great vid as always!
yeah it's def up there. in this video you'll see ferrari had a great car of course but they were fighting a chassis on it's knees at that point. and a 21 year old kimi gave schumi a run for his life those seasons. williams won in an era with no restrictions and the best drivers in the world fighting engines capable of double what can be done today. made for a lot more variation and retirements yes but just more upside. I'm figuring out now how to do that video actually haha
@@CYMotorsport "and a 21 year old kimi gave schumi a run for his life those seasons." Would probably remove the final s as Kimi only challenged Schumacher in 2003.
Beautiful introduction.
I'm a big intro and conclusion guy. hoping to make someone cry at my senna segment and def will get someone in my closing monologue with about 40 seconds left where the part it not being my team starts
@@CYMotorsport yeah I definitely felt it there. You almost got me,
Amazing video man! Enjoyed it thoroughly! Keep it up!
of course Tomás! glad you liked it
Great vid. Thank you🙏🏽
Thank you watching!
RIP Frank Williams
It kinda feels like Williams might be rising back the their old ways again after the double points at Hungary and the amazing quali at Spa
Russell has also scored points in 4 of the last 5 races. They’re on the come up again and it’s great to see.
Is it tho. Without the crash they might not have secured the double points
Thankyou so much for this I´ve really enjoyed it!!!!
You got it! Glad you like the video and more to come!
Great stuff man! Keep it up. My favourite F1 channel on TH-cam BY FAR
of course Juan ! let's do thisss
Watching this at the same time my now online history class, due to the pandemic, has a zoom meeting 😂
I mean TECHNICALLY this is history. I say you get a credit for this haha
Ooff, I watched through my Maths class
I ACCIDENTALLY Rickrolled my Maths class by forgetting to mute zoom.Well,it IS April the 1st in some places so...
