This race was also the end of an era which has been going on since 1968! The very last race were we had overt advertisement of a cigarette company in F1 Marlboro would never be openly advertised on a car in formula one race after this race
@@davesouthword1298 Mansell lost the title during those 16 races, not at Adelaide. He self destructed in 1987 and lost the title against injured Piquet too.
@@detonator2112 No, he lost the title in that very moment, everything was under control, and that’s partially why it’s such an iconic moment (Murray helped, and the sparks!). ‘Well he retired in the German GP as well, that’s just as important’ just isn’t the way I look at things. It’s definitely too little known just how much Piquet was struggling in 87 after Imola, nice to see it mentioned.
Raikkonen get no where near enough credit for this win. He looked after his wet weather tires so much better than Hamilton whilst keeping him in arms reach. A really measured drive when those around him lost there’s.
Also, he topped every single practice session, Q1, Q2 and only lost out on pole position to Hamilton, because he had 3 laps more fuel than him. His first stint was brilliant, Massa was absolutely nowhere despite having less fuel than him. Conserved his tires brilliantly when Hamilton ate them up, when both were left out on the same tires and overtook him in mixed conditions. This was also the 2nd last weekend of the season, and given the championship, it was an incredible performance from him. Easily one of his greatest drives (Just after what he did in Fuji under terrible conditions). It's comical when people try to discredit Raikkonen's 2007 season, yes it wasn't as great as his McLaren years, but it was still a very good season, when he had to adapt to new team/tires, and Massa already had a good experience of that. Fuji/China that year were easily two of his greatest ever performances. Both Alonso and Hamilton lost their heads in them, while Raikkonen kept everything under control and delivered brilliant performances, in such a crucial stage of the championship.
@@tristanwhite3472 Easily by a good margin. If Autosport, or any media outlet did a driver ratings, they would not have given him anything less than a 10. It was just a flawless performance from him, which becomes even special when we take the championship into consideration.
Wonderful...Can't wait for 2008 oooooh yea....07 was great though, I'm surprised these are staying up, YT must be asleep....Download them while you can
This is a season long remembered. It had absolutely everything. Drama, suspense, great battles between the top four drivers and a shocking end. Kimi is the most deserved champion ever and actually he deserved many more. One of the best seasons in F1 history for sure.
With the points advantage that he had over Kimi and Fernando, I don't understand why McLaren didn't play it save and pit Lewis early. Theoretically, he'd finished fourth and won the title. However, the shot @ 30:49 perfectly foreshadowed what was about to happen...
If they pitted Lewis early, Lewis would have lost a similar amount time with being on dries too early. The dry tyre still wasn't the right tyre when Lewis had the canvas issue as it was still raining so either he'd have multiple slow laps on dries on a heavy fuel or had to pit twice.
@@Errol-ze1qb maybe he overdid it in the early stages of the race with how fast he was at the start, given both Kimi and Alonso didn't have this issue.
The race was particularly memorable because Hamilton was stranded at the pit lane entrance when McLaren didn't replace his worn intermediate tires. Additionally, Vettel's victorious one-stop strategy was a form of redemption after his previous mistake with soon-to-be teammate Mark Webber in Fuji, where they held 2nd and 3rd places. Liuzzi also redeemed himself after being penalized for overtaking under yellow flags in the previous race by finishing 6th, marking Toro Rosso's best performance of the season. Button's 5th place finish was crucial for Honda, ensuring they stayed ahead of their B team, Super Aguri, and notably, this was the first race of the season where Renault did not score any points.
Thank you again Big Z. The last ever race to have any car sponsored by Tobacco advertising. And it defiies believe how McLaren and Hamilton threw this away all they had to do was get to the finish and at worst he would have been P4.
Still cannot believe a McLaren driver did not win the title that year. But Kimi kept himself in there and was excellent from the French GP onwards and deserved his title.
I would have liked Kimi to win at Least 1 Championship with McLaren in 03 or 05 but wasn’t to be because of bad reliability. 05 cuz the car was so fast quick. Was the best car in 05 but kept breaking down.
Yes he was excellent from the French GP onwards agree. He deserved to win the Title after his brilliant come back from France onwards he kept himself in there like you said.
Conspiracy theories apart, you'd have thought McLaren would have learned from what happened to Kimi at Nurburgring in '05. It's a wonder Hamilton's suspension didn't fail even before getting beached in the gravel. If you had tyres like how they look on the thumbnail on your road car you would be arrested 🙂
Different situation. Raikkonens tyre was structurally damaged, it was basically egg shaped and shook the suspension. There is no conspiracy.. the rookie wore out his tyres.. simple as that, if they pitted him earlier they would of lost position
My PTSD has kicked in lol McLaren and Lewis fumbled the bag big time they went to aggressive with the strategy and it cost them this was a race of patience and Kimi showed that perfectly in a masterful win Lewis all you needed to do was creep into the pit lane and think bigger picture for the championship 😭 but those tires would not even been fit to use for a tire barrier lol
@@sdstewart87 Yes True Hamilton did push to hard early in the race wearing out his tyres he was to confident. Kimi looked after his tyres. But the McLaren team should of brought him in laps earlier for new Tyres so was really there fault l

I'm still remember image of Lewis stucked in the wet gravel, impressive image. Kimi's birthday is tomorrow and it's the best time of the year to remember how cool he was looking in 2007, well deserved win in Shanghai. German rookie Vettel was looking good in the wet second weekend in a row and finished in top-5 for the first time of his career. Thanks Zeddie, we go! 🏁✌
2007 was still a top season by Raikkonen they way he came back from France onwards when many people had written him off. Great determination skill speed.really strong performances from France onwards reminded me of his McLaren days.
@@ayrtonsenna1989luke Yeah, you can find races here n there on YT. I Have been a fan of this channel for a very long time though so I just stick with Big Z. He has also uploaded seasons and races in the order they happened which I really like as well.
32:57 I always feel terrible for Kubica seeing him retire from the lead. Honestly could have won this race coming out of nowhere. Though it did gave Kimi the win and helped him massively for the title
Nobody knows tbh. It wasn't as straightforward. Raikkonen would be in his gearbox, and this was a motivated Raikkonen, hungry for the championship. I don't think it would've been easy for Kubica. Ferrari was also the fastest car that day.
Heidfeld had 3 laps more fuel than Kubica before his 1st pitstop, and still outqualified him. Also, Kubica was lucky to pit the dry tires at the right time. Heidfeld stayed with the wet tires just like Raikkonen/Hamilton, which turned out to be the wrong strategy, so he pitted again for the dry tires after 4 laps, otherwise he would've been ahead of Kubica. Raikkonen was only 3 seconds behind Kubica, having pitted 8 laps after Kubica on fresh tires. He would've easily beaten Kubica that day imo. Also, for those who like to hype up Kubica's performance that race, no it was nothing special. He was outqualified by Heidfeld, having 3 laps less fuel and just got fortunate with putting dry tires at the right time when he pitted.
@@f1analysis900 I'd argue pitting onto the correct tyres at the right time isn't luck. It's called reading the conditions and maximising the opportunity
@@tombardsley3081 Yeah but he just got lucky with everything. His and Heidfeld's pit window was in the correct time, compared to Raikkonen/Hamilton when it was not that obvious to put in the dry tires. If Heidfeld would've put in the dry tires after his 1st pitstop, he had a much better chance of winning the race than Kubica did.
No. He is referring to Fuji and China. Alonso crashed out in the wet at Fuji and Hamilton crashed out of China. He was racing Kimi far too hard when he did not need to and drove far too fast into pits when he knew he had no grip on the track let alone the pits where there is far less grip than the track. Watch the pit entry again he was far too fast. No one else was responsible he was behind of the wheel he drove it into the gravel no one else so it was a driver error. And also at Interlagos Lewis had another driver error when he tried to race Alonso too hard on lap 1 at Turn 3 when he didn't need to and massively locked up and went off the track and lost positions. Its highly thought when we went off track is what caused the intermittent fault with the gearbox a few laps later, the lap before he massively ran over the big heavy kerb at the exit of turn 3 behind Kubica which also likely could of caused the gearbox fault. Either way Lewis drove scrappy in the final 2 races. Any points he got at China would of made it only possible for Alonso and then at best that would of been nearly impossible. But he raced Kimi at China like his life depended it on when he did not need to. Infact he was racing Kimi so hard he was slowing both drivers down. And interlagos he was so much faster than Alonso that weekend he did not need to race him so hard on the 1st lap he would of jumped him in the pit stops and came 3rd and won the title. Lewis was dirving like he was still in GP2 here. At Fuji he made a few dangerous brake tests under the safety car when it wasn't necessary. Alonso nearly hit him at the start. He caused Vettel to hit Webber. You could say the last 3 races Lewis had some questionable driving moves.
These Gen Z netflix DTS warriors will never understand feel what its like to see F1 2007s at its best in person. I feel bad for them having to deal with these V6 turbo cars today. They sound like screaming ants these modern cars.
Still have no idea why McLaren left Lewis out there for so long. He was struggling for so many laps. He didn’t have the experience & all he needed was just to beat Alonso but they went for glory & got a bit too greedy
I don’t either it was a stupid decision by the McLaren team not to bring Hamilton in the pits earlier for new tyres! He would have gone back out finished 3rd or 4th probably.
As a supporter of Lewis the trilogy of hard watches is this race Malaysia 2016 and AD21 I refuse to rewatch AD21 for obvious reasons Malaysia 16 and this I can watch but I just believe for this one his inexperience and youth finally caught him out in pushing too hard on the tires and not slowing enough for the most awkward pit entrance of the year and Malaysia 2016 was just another day of unfortunate mechanical issues that year
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 it's not as memorable but the two 50:50 collisions he had in consecutive races in Monza and Singapore 2010 were also decisive given he only finished 16 points behind Vettel so even a couple of 4th places would easily do there. Then again it's probably for the best he's not an 11 time world champion. The world would have exploded lol.
@@VenusDoom891 Honestly I would put Spain 2010 over those 2 races as he was a comfortable P2 till like 2 laps to go when he had a rim failure But those races are also another sliding doors moment for sure In another world Lewis would have a yes amount of WDCs lol
They didn’t because of the events of the GP last year which was in similar conditions, Alonso changed his tires and it absolutely tanked his race and speed and cost him the race that day
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 yeah it seemed like worn inters on a greasy track were well overpowered during this time as the fresh dries were still slower in these conditions.
Because the FIA didn't want to look like they were interfering with the first 3 way title fight since the 80s. Instead they just told Mclaren privately to throw it away
I think that McLaren was instructed informally by the FIA to not make a McLaren driver as a champion after the spygate, so the series of gremlins in the last two races for Hamilton are not really surprising. I'm not even a Hamilton/McLaren fan, but I really believe Hamilton deserved the title as a rookie.
I keep thinking the same but one mechanical failure or start incident for Kimi would have been it even if neither McLaren driver finished last 2 races (Massa was already out of contention before this race). What could have happened then?
makes no sense since Mclaren was disqualified from the constructors but the FIA allowed the drivers to still be in the drivers championship, if the FIA didn’t want a mclaren drivers champion then they’d have disqualified that too
@@pervenchemusicNope doesn't work like that.. The FIA use an honor system that's why they generally target the Constructor. That's why I think Max might not win the WDC, he will have a weird retirement in the last six races.
@@pervenchemusic No they wouldn't. Imagine how the FIA would be treated if they turned a 3 way fight into a guaranteed title for Kimi! I've often wondered if they were told to "convincingly" throw it away. Unfortunately I don't think they did a convincing job at all!
I did work out what would have happened had both McLaren drivers been expunged from the results up to Monza and then not been able to take part in the last 4 races (as the team were thrown out between Monza and Spa) and there would still have been a title fight on! Using Tyrrell in 1984 as a precursor when all their points got re-distributed, moving everyone else up in every race then recalculating had Kimi leading Massa by just 7 points after Monza and even Heidfeld due to sheer consistency was still in contention after Monza only 19 points behind Kimi. Obviously Kimi's form in the last 4 races meant he was unstoppable anyway - Ferrari won the constructors in Belgium, Heidfeld drops out of contention after Japan, and Massa does after China meaning only Brazil is a dead rubber so to speak. But while it wouldn't have been the 3-way thriller it was in reality (and 4-way until Japan) to say there wouldn't be a title battle at all isn't quite true. Maybe that's why Ferrari had to let them race up until late on - it wouldn't have been fair for one to have to cede to the other if it turned out they were fighting each other for the championship with no McLaren! (Also Heidfeld in Canada and Kovalainen in Japan are the only non-Ferrari winners).
Ahh almost a WHOLE year J Allen sucking off Hamilton how perfect GOD of driving he is, than never ever makes mistakes, and that happens. Ahahhaa i love it.
I mean, he didn't do that at all did he? Yes he sucked him off the same way Button, Coulthard, Irvine, Hill and Mansell were by British commentators in the way the public no longer lets them, but he very much spoke the truth when Hamilton's errors came at Nurburgring etc. Also, this particular example is a driver entering a pit lane who thinks he has rear tyres made of rubber, not canvas. It just pushed straight on on him. He was just too naive at that age, wanted to win it in style rather than just come home 2nd behind Kimi
@@alexlazebat839 They all made loads in 08, aside from Kubica, whose team decided to stop developing his car just as he got into the lead of the championship 🙈
Why does the presenter say at the end that the next, final round is “winner takes all”? Doesn’t that mean whoever wins the race wins the championship regardless of how the others place? Clearly that was not the case, Raikkonen could have won the race but lost the championship if Hamilton or Alonzo had come in second.
as far as I remember there really wasn’t that much commotion over grid girls, F1 themselves decided to stop using grid girls and the only uproar was from people saying to keep it. You’re just making things up to be angry about old man

Yes 2003 and 2005 Kimi was Sensational! but didn’t win the Championship in thoose years because of poor reliability. 2007 was a great season for the way he came back and he was world champion!
I don't get it around my head what mclaren was thinking?! It was absolutely nonsense to keep Ham out for so long. Even if Ham only had scored 5 points at p4 he would have 112 points. Alo 104 and Kimi 100.
@@kammschupper they didn't have much choice. If Lewis had come in earlier, he'd have either had to stop again a few laps later if they put on new inters for when the track was dry, costing him another 20 seconds or so to switch to dries. Or, if he went on the dries straight away, he'd have been slow for several laps as the track wasn't dry enough. Kimi and Alonso were still lapping significantly faster on worn inters than those that had taken the gamble to go to dries early prior to Lewis going into the gravel.
Very Strong second half of the season from Raikkonen France onwards! His performances and pace were excellent also showing great courage determination Speed Intelligence very Professional.
And it was Hamilton’s fault for wearing out his tyres by pushing to hard early in the race when he didn’t need too. He didn’t need to push that hard in the race he didn’t need to build a gap to Kimi. Kimi looked after his tyres better Hamilton pushed bit to hard. But all the team had to do was bring him earlier or Hamilton tip toe when he did come into the pit lane.

And also at Interlagos Lewis had another driver error when he tried to race Alonso too hard on lap 1 at Turn 3 when he didn't need to and massively locked up and went off the track and lost positions. Its highly thought when we went off track is what caused the intermittent fault with the gearbox a few laps later, the lap before he massively ran over the big heavy kerb at the exit of turn 3 behind Kubica which also likely could of caused the gearbox fault. Either way Lewis drove scrappy in the final 2 races. Any points he got at China would of made it only possible for Alonso and then at best that would of been nearly impossible. But he raced Kimi at China like his life depended it on when he did not need to. Infact he was racing Kimi so hard he was slowing both drivers down. And interlagos he was so much faster than Alonso that weekend he did not need to race him so hard on the 1st lap he would of jumped him in the pit stops and came 3rd and won the title. Lewis was dirving like he was still in GP2 here. At Fuji he made a few dangerous brake tests under the safety car when it wasn't necessary. Alonso nearly hit him at the start. He caused Vettel to hit Webber. You could say the last 3 races Lewis had some questionable driving moves.
@@ayrtonsenna1989luke Yes
These Gen Z netflix DTS warriors will never understand feel what its like to see F1 2007s at its best in person. I feel bad for them having to deal with these V6 turbo cars today. They sound like screaming ants these modern cars.
Shut up nerd
@@lejo4 shut up virgin
Legendary one 😮
My first f1 race 😂
Still have no idea why McLaren left Lewis out there for so long. He was struggling for so many laps. He didn’t have the experience & all he needed was just to beat Alonso but they went for glory & got a bit too greedy
I don’t either it was a stupid decision by the McLaren team not to bring Hamilton in the pits earlier for new tyres! He would have gone back out finished 3rd or 4th probably.
Yes Lewis was really struggling Hamilton said on the Radio I have to come in these Tyres are finished the team told him stay out your doing fine.
Got to greedy.
Still feel the team were told to throw it away convincingly
This will be a hard watch as a Lewis fan.
As a supporter of Lewis the trilogy of hard watches is this race Malaysia 2016 and AD21
I refuse to rewatch AD21 for obvious reasons
Malaysia 16 and this I can watch but I just believe for this one his inexperience and youth finally caught him out in pushing too hard on the tires and not slowing enough for the most awkward pit entrance of the year and Malaysia 2016 was just another day of unfortunate mechanical issues that year
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 it's not as memorable but the two 50:50 collisions he had in consecutive races in Monza and Singapore 2010 were also decisive given he only finished 16 points behind Vettel so even a couple of 4th places would easily do there. Then again it's probably for the best he's not an 11 time world champion. The world would have exploded lol.
@@VenusDoom891 Honestly I would put Spain 2010 over those 2 races as he was a comfortable P2 till like 2 laps to go when he had a rim failure
But those races are also another sliding doors moment for sure
In another world Lewis would have a yes amount of WDCs lol
@@VenusDoom891 yes all true
@@VenusDoom891 yea
The most dreaded corner on the Shanghai track - the entrance to the pit lane. At least until 2015 when they replaced the gravel with tarmac. 😡
Yes
Why angry
@@PointNemo9 Because of the gravel being replaced with tarmac.
@@SuperMafia864 it should be gravel
29:12 was here hamilton lost world championship drivers.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda n all that. It looks just as bad now as what I remember. Nice one Big Z.
Total collapse from McLaren and Hamilton
Yep
15:49 Should they have swapped the tyres.
They didn’t because of the events of the GP last year which was in similar conditions, Alonso changed his tires and it absolutely tanked his race and speed and cost him the race that day
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 yeah it seemed like worn inters on a greasy track were well overpowered during this time as the fresh dries were still slower in these conditions.
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 but that was michelens
@@alexlazebat839 But the same principles regardless that’s why no one changed tires in the first stop
@@tombardsley3081Yes True.
I was supporting Kimi, Masa and Ferrari post Schumi era. Wonder if Alonso had a grin behind that visor when he knew Lewis retired?
McLaren was surprised ham did the job for them 1 thousand times better than they expected lol.
29:11 - SAN GANCHAO
CLASSIC RACE F1❤😊
Not pitting a car that has a tyre down to the canvass was a bad move.
Not the only time Hamilton would bottle a championship
ah yes the race that costed lewis hamilton's chances at a wdc in his maiden year
Well he didnt really do himself a favour in thr last race either.
Yes
And in Brazil with the Engine Cutting out but that was no ones Fault.
Went into Neutral or something then he reset it.
Why Lewis and Nando didn't lose championship points after Spygate will forever remain a mystery.
Because the FIA didn't want to look like they were interfering with the first 3 way title fight since the 80s. Instead they just told Mclaren privately to throw it away
@@BonnetLicker86313 Bullshit
Its because they had an agreement. Fork over the evidence they had, and they wouldnt lose their points
Here since 06, and i dont mean the work toilet👀
My FAVORITE race of 2007😂😂😂 Well..... Brazil was 1,000Xs better, but this was pure gold.
29:12 watch out Lewis there is a gravel trap
where the crane?😀
It's brilliant watching you all come out of the woodwork, the comments have been so balanced in the first 15 races.
I think that McLaren was instructed informally by the FIA to not make a McLaren driver as a champion after the spygate, so the series of gremlins in the last two races for Hamilton are not really surprising.
I'm not even a Hamilton/McLaren fan, but I really believe Hamilton deserved the title as a rookie.
I keep thinking the same but one mechanical failure or start incident for Kimi would have been it even if neither McLaren driver finished last 2 races (Massa was already out of contention before this race). What could have happened then?
makes no sense since Mclaren was disqualified from the constructors but the FIA allowed the drivers to still be in the drivers championship, if the FIA didn’t want a mclaren drivers champion then they’d have disqualified that too
@@pervenchemusicNope doesn't work like that..
The FIA use an honor system that's why they generally target the Constructor.
That's why I think Max might not win the WDC, he will have a weird retirement in the last six races.
@@pervenchemusic No they wouldn't. Imagine how the FIA would be treated if they turned a 3 way fight into a guaranteed title for Kimi! I've often wondered if they were told to "convincingly" throw it away. Unfortunately I don't think they did a convincing job at all!
I did work out what would have happened had both McLaren drivers been expunged from the results up to Monza and then not been able to take part in the last 4 races (as the team were thrown out between Monza and Spa) and there would still have been a title fight on! Using Tyrrell in 1984 as a precursor when all their points got re-distributed, moving everyone else up in every race then recalculating had Kimi leading Massa by just 7 points after Monza and even Heidfeld due to sheer consistency was still in contention after Monza only 19 points behind Kimi. Obviously Kimi's form in the last 4 races meant he was unstoppable anyway - Ferrari won the constructors in Belgium, Heidfeld drops out of contention after Japan, and Massa does after China meaning only Brazil is a dead rubber so to speak. But while it wouldn't have been the 3-way thriller it was in reality (and 4-way until Japan) to say there wouldn't be a title battle at all isn't quite true. Maybe that's why Ferrari had to let them race up until late on - it wouldn't have been fair for one to have to cede to the other if it turned out they were fighting each other for the championship with no McLaren! (Also Heidfeld in Canada and Kovalainen in Japan are the only non-Ferrari winners).
Great Race great on track action Battles Overtaking.
Ahh almost a WHOLE year J Allen sucking off Hamilton how perfect GOD of driving he is, than never ever makes mistakes, and that happens. Ahahhaa i love it.
then 2008 makes loads
So, where's the lie?
So 1 mistake all year from the rookie, seems he needed sucking off
I mean, he didn't do that at all did he? Yes he sucked him off the same way Button, Coulthard, Irvine, Hill and Mansell were by British commentators in the way the public no longer lets them, but he very much spoke the truth when Hamilton's errors came at Nurburgring etc.
Also, this particular example is a driver entering a pit lane who thinks he has rear tyres made of rubber, not canvas. It just pushed straight on on him. He was just too naive at that age, wanted to win it in style rather than just come home 2nd behind Kimi
@@alexlazebat839 They all made loads in 08, aside from Kubica, whose team decided to stop developing his car just as he got into the lead of the championship 🙈
Why does the presenter say at the end that the next, final round is “winner takes all”? Doesn’t that mean whoever wins the race wins the championship regardless of how the others place? Clearly that was not the case, Raikkonen could have won the race but lost the championship if Hamilton or Alonzo had come in second.
Raikkonen 💪❤
F1's Devon Loch moment
Imagine the pink haired feminists watching this intro/gridgirls on TV.
We can't have nice things.
F1 Twitter would be in meltdown
as far as I remember there really wasn’t that much commotion over grid girls, F1 themselves decided to stop using grid girls and the only uproar was from people saying to keep it. You’re just making things up to be angry about old man
Excellent drive by Kimi. And Vettel, Button, Liuzzi and Alonso.
Thank you very much for this.
San gachao
2007 is the one that hurts most of LH's lost titles
Good.
Brilliant drive by Vettel moving through the field passing cars. Showing strong pace excellent driving.
Amazing to consider what could have been if Lewis didnt end up in the gravel.
Yes Lewis would of been world Champion I reckon.
Lewis definitely would of been World Champion if he got back out on Fresh New Tyres.
Sebastian Vettel driver of the day
If this was a script for a movie, people would probably think, nahhhhh its too far fetched to be real.
Rare outing for 'Marlboro'.
What happened to Fisi.
One of the best races off 2007.
Amazing how bad Mclaren balls’d up not pitting Lewis. In another universe he would be a 9 times world champ if it wasn’t for that & 2021
33:11 without his retirement Robert kubica could of won this race.
No, he still had one more stop to make.
@@SuperMafia864Yes True.
@@RyanMonks-s2i Heidfeld had 3 laps more fuel than Kubica before his 1st pitstop, and still outqualified him. Also, Kubica was lucky to pit the dry tires at the right time. Heidfeld stayed with the wet tires just like Raikkonen/Hamilton, which turned out to be the wrong strategy, so he pitted again for the dry tires after 4 laps, otherwise he would've been ahead of Kubica. Raikkonen was only 3 seconds behind Kubica, having pitted 8 laps after Kubica on fresh tires. He would've easily beaten Kubica that day imo.
And the McLaren MP4-17D was a year old car updated It didn’t have the Straight Line Speed.
what a great day this was ^^
Yes 2003 and 2005 Kimi was Sensational! but didn’t win the Championship in thoose years because of poor reliability. 2007 was a great season for the way he came back and he was world champion!
Mclaren fucked this race up for Hamilton. Got to be one of the biggest cock ups in f1 history. Handed the championship to kimi
Hamilton pushed too hard initially, then started fighting kimi. Didn’t need to do that. Just inexperienced
Yes I agree with that I don't know what they were thinking. Obviously they weren't thinking!
Agree
They did messed it up big time.
@@Dev-fd2tx yes true inexperienced.
where's your crane now lewis?
not available ...
ZEDDY RULES!!!!!
Yes the BMW Cars had great grip great front end grip.
I don't get it around my head what mclaren was thinking?! It was absolutely nonsense to keep Ham out for so long. Even if Ham only had scored 5 points at p4 he would have 112 points. Alo 104 and Kimi 100.
@@kammschupper they didn't have much choice. If Lewis had come in earlier, he'd have either had to stop again a few laps later if they put on new inters for when the track was dry, costing him another 20 seconds or so to switch to dries. Or, if he went on the dries straight away, he'd have been slow for several laps as the track wasn't dry enough. Kimi and Alonso were still lapping significantly faster on worn inters than those that had taken the gamble to go to dries early prior to Lewis going into the gravel.
A great front end goes where you point it.
A very good season by Raikkonen he showed what a great driver he really is in the 2nd half of the season from France onwards.
The 13:38 jumpscare made me chuckle
The Cars were very good looking in 2006, 2007, 2008,
Kimi driver of the day. Also a excellent drive by Vettel he needed that after the disappointment from Fuji.
Very Strong second half of the season from Raikkonen France onwards! His performances and pace were excellent also showing great courage determination Speed Intelligence very Professional.
Thank you.
David Coulthard was 5th at the start finished 8th.
29:10 Classic
Kimi Raikkonen 5 wins and 4 Podiums from the French GP Onwards. Two 2nd places, Two 3rd places,
And it was Hamilton’s fault for wearing out his tyres by pushing to hard early in the race when he didn’t need too. He didn’t need to push that hard in the race he didn’t need to build a gap to Kimi. Kimi looked after his tyres better Hamilton pushed bit to hard. But all the team had to do was bring him earlier or Hamilton tip toe when he did come into the pit lane.
Nightmare of Lewis Hamilton was on the gravel 🤪
It's all over for Lewis Hamilton 🤪
