Thomas McNamara well he won GP2 in 2010 did Maldonado. Maldonado deserved his original seat, and did decent in 11 and 12, he was just shit in 13, 14 and 15
he crashed into it and people were like, hmmm since he is already here, why not? but seriously tho he was not that bad of a driver as the meme makes it look like
"I saw bumper cars when I was a kid, and I thought what if we could recreate that with much faster cars with debris flying all over the place? It would be bonkers!"
Not the best driver, but FAAAR from the worst. With the new weight rules of 80kg minimum weight, he might shine a bit more. But to be fair, he has been in the worst team for what, 4 seasons now... Hope he gets his shot, he has potential even tho most of F1 fans think he is shait. But then again, the immaturity of F1 fans now days is at ground zero.
Lucas Rebouças Hey. U know in 2017 the diff between Pascal and Marcus was 0.049s in quali. Closest on average by teams and teammates. He also weighs 10kg more so. When it comes to points, that is all about luck and grabbing your opportunity when you get it. Not really weird. It's called F1 midfield battle
He doesn't own part of the team himself. However, M E Promotions (which is his company, where sponsor money are paid in to, and then M E Promotions pay the teams the agreed about) are part-owned by Longbow, which owns Sauber. Also, the chairman and president on Sauber, is on the board of M E Promotions. Which is why he'll be safe in that Sauber seat as long as Longbow owns the team and he is at least somewhat competitive.
Dat Boi I was replying to AS about Sirotkin and yes I agree with you all drivers have talent more than others but at the end of the day you cannot truly judge an individual based on something out of their control here being the car but the Sauber package has really impressed me.
I think he is a cool guy, he just has to impress me on the track yet. Yeah he is in a Sauber, but Wehrlein owned him last year in the same car and Charles is looking to do the same. Though, I am happy for him that he scored points too given the car he is in. Shows he might not just be money after all. Have a good season, Marcus! Bag some more points :P
Well, that's because most people are morons and therefore not able to tell that he got there by being an extremely talented driver. But even if you don't know shit about motorsport, you can actually still go and look up his results before entering F1 and discover for yourself. Google is your friend as they say.
I think Marcus has done a great job this season. Good week In Australia but the car broke. He drove excellent in Bahrain to score some well deserved points. He had a ok race in China, especially in the second stint. Okay the race in Baku wasn’t good enough but still finished 11th. In Monaco he drove really good in the race and did no mistakes at all to finish just a second from points. It’ s now 3-3 between Leclerc and Ericsson in the races so far and even if Leclerc has 9 points and Ericsson has 2, I think Ericsson needs some luck, 11th in Monaco and Baku. I think he still needs to improve in qualifying but he has been as quicker or perhaps better in the races so far than Leclerc, he just doesn’t get the luck that his teammates has got the last years. Nasr Brazil 2016, Wehrlein Spain 2017, Leclerc Baku this year.
make an interview to a mechanic. how he get to the f1? i always wanted to know if is easy or really hard to get sing by a team. maybe is difficult too.
I’ve said some stuff, but seems like a nice guy, maybe I was wrong, sure, I don’t like the way he gets to race by sponsors, but he is really nice, cool
I like Ericsson. He’s certainly not great by F1 standards, but he kept Wehrlein honest last year. Wasn’t as quick as Nasr either but was able to match him regularly enough. As pay drivers go, Ericsson isn’t bad. He will probably have a few more years considering his sponsors basically own Sauber now. He’s a tall driver so the weight increases on the cars should help him too. He has accumulated a fair bit of experience and could be a great asset to Ferrari junior drivers at Sauber. Leclerc switched to Ericsson’s set up in Azerbaijan and found over a second in lap time. I think Ericsson could really thrive in a role where he races and has a junior to help in the other car.
When I saw the video title I thought this was going to be sarcastic like "how on earth did he even get to F1 in the first place?". Guilty as charged :P
Hello and Hej Marcus. Jag skulle gärna vilja utmana dig på ett race gokaritng på gatorna i Mariestad vid vårt nästa Art and Race där du gärna kan ta med dig din F1-bil och bränna lite däck. Jag är en ganska tokig racer och skulle nog kunna ge dig lite "utmaning" på gatorna runt racing Mariestad en fin dag- Säkert bra avkoppling och en fin sponsordag. Med vänlig hälsning Micke Mariestad.
You wouldnt last that long in the sport if you just plain sucked no matter how much you pay. And Marcus has never had a good car, so you cant really know how good he is.
Marcus is such a nice driver
Ericsson’s head on go kart😂, great vid👍
Lightning pro gamer he's not such a bad driver
Lightning pro gamer I
2:48 I like this guy more now
Hold the Door But my quest is : is there any person in the world that actually hates Fernando Alonso??
I used to think he was a huge wanker, but he's earned my respect recently. Talks straight, drives brilliantly.
Much more interesting question
* How did Maldonado get in F1?*
Same answer: he had $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Something Ericsson forgot to mention in this video.
Thomas McNamara well he won GP2 in 2010 did Maldonado. Maldonado deserved his original seat, and did decent in 11 and 12, he was just shit in 13, 14 and 15

PDSVA
Yes some love for much fellow swede. He is not the best driver but does not desserv the hate he gets!
People doesn`t like pay drivers..
@@patrickanderson9023 especially when they get to stay in F1 but far better drivers don't because they don't have the money.
He should get a race ban after what he did last race to Grosjean smh
Brendan V Did Grosjean even apologize for his wild statement that denigrated Ericsson?
Brendan V ikr causing romain to crash into the wall under the SC!!
That wasn't Grosjesn that said that it was his engineer on the radio.
LOL Ericsson didn’ even hit grosjean. Don’t just come here and make a false statements!
It was a joke for Baku.
You should have asked him when he learned how to make other cars crash without being near them.
Magic

But then again, the immaturity of F1 fans now days is at ground zero.
Numero Uno he's in the worst car and his team mates keep scoring more point and getting fired after. WEIRD
Lucas Rebouças I think Ericsson doesn't get fired because he owns part of the team
Lucas Rebouças

Numero Uno you are judging only on youtube comments F1 fans, what can you expect? Don't judge every F1 fan by some comments you see in here

Marcus is a alonso fan. So from now on I love Marcus.
He gets to race in the slowest of the fastest cars in the world
It's always something
No that's the Willams being the slowest
Surely Ericsson's fault... that he got in F1!
No, definitely Grosjean's fault Boss
hagueian #blameericsson
10 K me too
@@JimmyOlsson Ericsson is a shitty driver who only got to F1 cause of the billionaires who sponsor him, very much like Stroll.
@@patrickanderson9023 Stroll is showing just how good he is these days.
Not a bad guy. I've come to like him.
At least he isn’t the worst pay driver ever...
Thomas Fulton a real worse driver wouldn’t score points
AS he's actually not too bad he's got speed just not enough experience.
Clonetroop 2512 Ericsson doesn’t has the pace. Yes he is in a slow car but just look at Pascal Wehrlein
AS you clearly dont know shit
Dat Boi I was replying to AS about Sirotkin and yes I agree with you all drivers have talent more than others but at the end of the day you cannot truly judge an individual based on something out of their control here being the car but the Sauber package has really impressed me.
He's so underrated. Go Marcus!
Wow he is a nice guy
Congrats Marcus Indy 500 Champ! 🏆
He seems like a really nice guy. I hope he does much better in f1 and that he gets a competitive team
That´s so nice of you , hope you have a great year . Greats from Stockholm .
I like Marcus
To be fair to him, his 2018 season is going well for him
I think he is a cool guy, he just has to impress me on the track yet. Yeah he is in a Sauber, but Wehrlein owned him last year in the same car and Charles is looking to do the same. Though, I am happy for him that he scored points too given the car he is in. Shows he might not just be money after all. Have a good season, Marcus! Bag some more points :P
Marcus Ericsson is surprisingly awesome
I love this guy. he is a talented driver (though many people think opposite). and I am sure he will show his capacity in near future.
This was cool. Thanks WTF1 :)
not a bad format i guess
maybe do it with Magnussen next, a lot of people might wonder how he ended up in F1 ...
no offence though :D
There is bunch of videos on that from the 2014 season when he was driven for Mclaren
Well, that's because most people are morons and therefore not able to tell that he got there by being an extremely talented driver. But even if you don't know shit about motorsport, you can actually still go and look up his results before entering F1 and discover for yourself. Google is your friend as they say.
mongol62 ...drops the mic! true that
That is true
mongol62 Magnussen is a really fast driver, but he doesn't know how to race, you need both to be in F1
I think he got there because money, but after 4 seasons he has gained some experience and skills and now he's not that bad.
lol first hockey picture Czechs vs Slovaks ... good pick and also really good video ... actually improved my opinion of him :P
Love these videos!
Great job guys!!!

Underrated
An ice hockey fan, eh? That's pretty neat. :)
Thank you for posting!!!
Thumbs up for using Czech vs Slovakia ice hockey game! :D
make an interview to a mechanic. how he get to the f1? i always wanted to know if is easy or really hard to get sing by a team. maybe is difficult too.
I met the Mercedes F1 crew in Budapest and asked that very question , they all came from lower series and worked there way up .
Saw his brother at donnington
Anyone remember the commentary last year when he was called Christian Eriksen? As a Tottenham fan I loved that!
always great video's guys
Pause at 1:41 Ricciardo is the only one cracking a full smile. Explains him perfectly.
I’ve said some stuff, but seems like a nice guy, maybe I was wrong, sure, I don’t like the way he gets to race by sponsors, but he is really nice, cool
Hes a smooth driver, and he's Swedish so thats the two reasons why I like him.
No offense, but he wouldn't be F1 if it's not for the money. Same like couple of other drivers.
@@anuragbisht1200 You talking abaout Alonso and Santandrer ?
Hey WTF1, great video
Actually lol'd at the danny ric clip xD
King Marcus 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

Yes and Alonso and 10 other drivers don´t bring sponsors is that your point ?
I don't understand why people say that he is a bad driver? He is very fast driver now and he deserves to stay in F1!
When I saw the video title I thought this was going to be sarcastic like "how on earth did he even get to F1 in the first place?". Guilty as charged :P
Good question.
First I saw the thumbnail and loled but he actually said it and I was like hmm okey then
Real nice guy
Yeah , his swedish .
what i love about Marcus is that he is from a "normal" family, very rare these days.
great vid bois
Please guys try to watch it with subtitles, it's hilarious trust me
Indy 500 winner
The question we've all been asking for years
I hope he get a seat in a good team with better car
i like him
Fernando greatest racing driver
The title is a bit clickbait
What a nice guy! Now I’m sure there’s no way he hit grosjean. Hopefully we see him pull a p6 or better like leClerc
Y E N S O N
thought he said "I love shit food" 😂😂😂
yeah, hes talking swenglish there .
This is a dumb question but is Marcus Ericsson but any chance connected to the Swedish tech company, Ericsson?
Nope, it's just a common last name.
Oh Ok.
He is actualy connekted to, HM ,,, hears an maurits,,, swedish worlwide clothing stores
0:56 AGAINST OR BEHIND!?
Ronnie fucking Petterson
Is this video because I said it would be awesome? I said it in the community of TH-cam a couple of months ago!
Had Macau laprecord for many years just by accident (:-
F1: the best drivers in the best cars on the best tracks
I think he deserves a seat at haas with magnussen
GVGavenatore why since he was worse than his team mates during the last 5 seasons?
Yepp , that was always my hope fore a all scandinavian team . Instead Marcus is on the podium in Indy car .
Thats right. FERNANDO FTW!
How do you do an interview with this guy without bringing up the chicken incident?
Some nice guy

Gimme the clock
Can you help me to come into the f3 or f4 or anything. I think I got Talent
WHY RECCOMEND THIS TO ME NOW 😭
0:26 reminds me of Nico Rosberg
He got into sauber with lotttttsssss of money
Indy 500 winner!!!
If Fernando and hamilton switched cars for a race, Fernando would do much better in that mercades then Hamilton ever has done
Yepp , that´s the truth . Put Marcus in a Red Bull and he will do great .
A lot of people are bashing him, but he definitely is not the worst driver in the grid, there are two worse drivers at least.
You wouldnt last that long in the sport if you just plain sucked no matter how much you pay. And Marcus has never had a good car, so you cant really know how good he is.
His cheat meal is the most American thing ever
I would have never imagined how insulting a simple and innocent question could be...
He reminds me of Vettel 👍
Ericsson and Palmer are in same league.
how to get in f1 (pls make a video) :)
Ericsson plays more ice hockey than driving a f1 car?
He was a really good ice hockey player back in Örebro / Sweden .
INDYCAR WINNERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
Alfa Romeo sober F1 driver :D
Why are u hiting grosjean at every race dude ?
Why did they sack him
How did marcus ericsson get in formula 1? Easy... queue music. Money money money moooney... MOOOOONEY!
How did Alonso get in formula 1 ? Easy ... queue music . Money money money moooney... MOOOONEY .
$$$$$$ is never an accident 😉
Like Alonso and Santander ?
Short version: How did Ericsson reach F1? Answer: Sponsors.
"I came in by accident" Yeah no shit Marcus
Nando is da best
RACE FOR AVICII
0:59 sorry Marcus but you weren't racing them you were getting lapped
My favourite driver will always be Michael Schumacher
