The Formula 1 Iceberg Explained, Vol. 3
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2024
- When it comes to Formula 1, there are countless things to talk about from its past. A lot of these are the established facts and trivia that have made the sport what it is today, whether that be things such as Spygate, Indianapolis 2005, the FISA-FOCA war, the ‘fan’ car, or the Prost-Senna rivalry. This however is only scratching the surface, and if you go a bit deeper you can find some stuff that’s rather juicier and more thought-provoking. Which brings us here. I asked you once again for suggestions of your favourite Formula 1 trivia, memes, and, of course, conspiracy theories. As ever, we’ll ease ourselves in at the start, but by the end I hope you’ll be pondering whether everything in this sport really is as it seems. So, strap yourselves in; it’s time for another iceberg.

Mr.Iceberg is back with another one of his offsprings
ya
Fun fact, Arturo Merzario was one of the few drivers who could undo the ferrari seat belts from Niki because ferarri used proprietary 6 point belt not used by any other team. Truly astonishing
Ideas for Vol.4:
-The lost Russian GP at Igora Drive
-The loss of non-championship grand prix
-Valentino Rossi's F1 tests and near entry in 2006
Wth is Igora Drive?
@333xz a race track in Russia more close to Saint Petersburg that was supposed to replace Sochi for the Russian GP
@@TheUnsainted huh when was that supposed to happen? I've literally never heard about it
@@333xz it was planned for 2023 but then the war happened and F1 wouldn't go to Russia anymore so it never happened
@@TheUnsainted was it like uhh idk how to say it, like a big rumour?
The copyright free music in the background has become iconic
What’s the name of it? It’s calming and scary at the same time
@@ygt_92 yes, it is quite uncanny. In the description you can click the video with the music.
@@ok.-ok. cheers
If there ever comes a Volume 4, here would be my THREE entries:
1) The March 840 - March's attempt at an eight wheel car
2) Ekstrom Grand Prix - Only info regarding this is on unracedF1 and is very surprising.
3) Pre-Qualifying
Yeah I put this in the post a few weeks ago but Zhuhai in China was originally supposed to get the Chinese GP in the late 90s but that fell through and went to Shanghai, so that could be interesting to cover
4) 2005 and early 2016 qualifying
5) worst asian drivers debate between Ide, Inoue and Haryanto
6) list of previous generation cars with current liveries
7) new york grand prix
Vettel OTP
@@yudhabagaskara98 4) I still remembering that early 2016 qualifying system. 👿
5) One of them is from my country.
6) I can't wait for that! 🙌
7) I hope this is never happened.
I can't find anything on the March 840
Wow, a modern version of the 1984 Race of Champions would be absolutely amazing. Inviting perennial talents from various racing disciplines around the world, and every living F1 champ to have a fun event would be absolutely priceless
That shit would have the viewer count of an actual F1 race I swear. Put the drivers in AMG GT3’s on the Nürburgring GP Circuit so they can have close racing in a relatively stable, yet still fast car and boom you got yourself the perfect event.
Yeah, Liberty takes care of that, so drivers and heir closest teammates (like race eng) are busy all year and have like month break all year
I bet Alonso and Verstappen would fight for win with Lewis coming 3rd 20 sec behind them, then everyone else like 30+ sec behind🤣
SOME MORE IDEAS FOR NEXT VOL:
-Abandoned/overgrown Hockenheim ring
-Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc music
-Rossi Ferrari testing
-Paul Di Resta ruins the 2012 finale
-Old track layouts
-Tsunoda mysterious engine failure, benefiting RedBull. Zandvoort 2022
-Hamilton trainer suddenly parting ways. Early 2023
-More dodgy sponsors
-F1 Car seen driving on public motorway (actually an F2 car)
-Vladimir Putin in an F1 car
-Michael Massi was forced to bend the rules by liberty media seniors. 2021 finale
-Tom Cruise vs Richard Hammond in F1 car
-Top gear F1 drivers lap times
-Hamilton reverse ageing
-Brawn GP ‘camber-gate’. Mechanics hiding data from the other side of the garage
-Bianca Bustamante Lance Stroll
-Jos Verstappen is a wife beater
Love this series. So well put together and researched. Keep it up.
Better than Putin in a F1 car, the Putin ChampCar shirt
Well, damn. Now I need a "Make Minardi Great Again" hat. 😂
i just can’t believe Barcelona 2012 was rigged. if it was, why would Williams/FIA not prioritise Senna instead of Maldonado? think of the implications if the Senna name was on top again, driving a Williams. Maldonado doesn’t have the same marketing pool…
My best bet would be a potential influence by the Venezuelan government to get a Venezuelan winner in a time of great bother for Venezuela as around and since that time, Venezuela has been in perilous financial difficulties and to see a Venezuelan win at the highest level of motorsport would reinvigorate the Venezuelan public.
What if they only decided after qualifying?
The conspiracy theories are absolutely ridiculous. I'm hoping people don't actually believe in them 😂
@@MaunoKoivistoOfficialI don't believe them in the slightest but it's cool
People forget that no one understood the tyres in early 2012, and that Maldonado was very fast that year when he didn't crash into things. It's really a year where the results sheets won't tell you half the story. Not hard to imagine the perfect storm where he wins on merit. Also, a Maldonado win wasn't gonna help sport as a whole. Remember when Brawn won in 2009, and everyone said it was great but the global ratings fell by like 20%? Outliers winning isn't often what brings in new people.
Thank you Peter. Now the sentence “it has to be this lap” will live in my head rent free for the next year until the next Iceberg Volume
i've never really put in much thought into it before this and it's pretty bone chilling now to see it from this context
"And make sure you arent carrying any equal machinery on you" best advice I've ever been given :D
In addition to the Latifi timing, Massi inexplicably moved lapped cars out of the way of Verstappen to close him up to Hamilton. The famous Toto Wolf quote of "No, no Mikey! This is so wrong!" still plays in my head whenever I think about that race.
The Funny thing is if they wanted drama they had it without messing up the end of that race and the Saudi Arabian GP the week before. If the poles and fastest laps had aligned correctly they could have tied with Lewis winning the Championship on the wins tiebreaker. The earlier close calls at Silverstone, and Monza wouldn't look too suspicious if the end didn't feel like the stewards and Masi were completely incompetent or rigging the end of the season. I'm a Max fan and I don't feel like F1 did either driver justice with how they handled the last 2 GPs of 2021.
It's even more sus, when they could've easily let them all through earlier, actually stating that lap cars can't overtake (something people forget), and then Alonso coming onto the radio joking about how ridiculous it was
@@joshuawhelan9358 Or Masi could have thrown the red flag since he was making rules up to force a finish. That way Hamilton has the same tires as Max and the lap cars are clear. A true 1-2 lap sprint for a world title is about as dramatic as it gets.
There's a rumor, no idea how true, that Massi was told by one of the other stewards that only 5 cars had been lapped. So his decision to unlap only those cars, which happened to be between Hamilton and Verstappen, was based on faulty information and the assumption that he *had* done it by the book. Then Masi was used as a scapegoat to protect the FIA from a blunder of their own making, not just his.
That's the rumor, anyway...
@@thegoldencaulk2742 Again it probably would have been better even if it was technically a unorthodox decision to red flag the race so that he would have know the amount of cars to unlap if their was any doubt. Those last 2 races were either the most incompetently marshaled and run races in a long time or were very much planned to go a certain way if that was what was needed to create drama that already existed to some extent.
For vol.4 I have a few idea (sorry if it was before):
- The forgotten new Saudi track
- The forgotten Indonesian Grand Prix
- When Mahaveer was slover in F2 than drivers in F3
- Berger's jokes on Senna
- Halo againsters (those who were against were the ones whom it saved)
- The stewards used dogs (against audience in 1973 dutch GP), also, the whole incident should take a part
- Peter Collins should've been 1956 champion
- Ecclestone-Moss switch (1958 monaco GP)
- Patrese m*rdered Peterson
1) Which new Saudi Arabian track that you mean?
2) Indonesian Grand Prix? That is my home country! I know this.
3) I still remember this! 😆
4) In which Grand Prix?
5) Halo againsters? Great idea.
6) What? 😮
7) Why?
8) I already know this one.
9) What? In which Grand Prix? 😮
@@RadityaPramanaPutra2001 for your questions:
1) Qiddiyah (or sth like that), should be there from 2025, but delayed to 2028 I believe
2) Yes, there would've been a new track next to the new capital, but I haven't heard anything about it (should've been race from 2025-26)
4) It's not just one GP. Berger and Senna used to prank the other for straight years in the most hilarious ways (like Berger threw out Senna's new suitcase from a plane, because he was so proud of it, etc)
6) Yes, Roger Williamson crashed and was upside down, the car is on fire, he was stuck. A driver tried to help him, rotating the car, which was impossible alone. The marshals were careless, didn't help nor didn't have fireproof clothes, the extuingisher was not alone, the fire engine was far from the scene. So the driver tried to ask help from the audience who tried to go to the track. To avoid any further casualities they used dogs as well if I'm not mistaken to prevent fans going to the track.
@@RadityaPramanaPutra2001 sorry, from phone I could continue like that.
So
7) because Fangio was Collins's idol, the latter let Fangio to drive his car, spare the points and that's why Fangio is the champion of 1956. Collins thought he is young, has plenty of time winning it (died 2 years later in an accident).
9) 1978 Italian GP. They thought Patrese scared Hunt, because the start was rigged (they didn't wait everyone to stop, so the back was in a huge advantage at the start, like Patrese) and Hunt made the accident in which Peterson died. For years Patrese was convicted as a murderer and the court said that he is not guilty
@@leventeszucs1650 Okay, thank you for all this information. 🙏
Really love these iceberg videos a lot they’re very very good and I’ll admit I’ve paused a few times gone and done some more reading and research on a few things throat all the videos that you’ve done like this really really informative and really good.
Who knew Formula 1 had more twists and turns than a race track? Loving these iceberg dives, keep 'em coming, Mr. Iceberg!
Thank you for acknowledging my submissions
For the next Iceberg Tier 1 add F1 Elimination Qualifying(i know it lasted for 2 races but i think it needs to be discussed) and
Arjun Maini story(i know it's f2 but it deserves to be mentioned)
the accent plus the cold Ambient track in the background really sounds like a Adam Curtis documentary
I think this tradition runs in this channel now;one iceberg video every April on a Saturday,gets you going honestly. 😂
As the person who suggested the "it has to be this lap" one in the first place, I have to point out the possibility that it could be an auditory illusion - if you listen to the radio message, it could easily be "let's keep this up" and you hear whichever one you want to hear on each listen
Edit after watching what he said about it: as if to support the audio illusion thing, I'm convinced it's "give it everything" but Peter interpreted it as "the overtake"
I also hear "let's keep this up"
Thanks for including my suggestion :D
(For anyone wondering, it's the Lost Vietnamese Grand Prix)
I might be the only person who likes the 2007 and 2008 Honda liveries
I like the 2008 one, but not the 2007 one
@@HELLMO1933 Me on the contrary, 2008 is more dull, although still fairly nice
I do as well. They added a splash of green to the grid, I think 2007/2008 just had some nice liveries across the grid in general.
I like the 2007 version, but the 2008 season is mediocre for me.
I loved 2007 even if the idea behind it made zero sense
Caribbean Grand Prix can be included in the next iceberg. Just missing a signature, Colombian President Petro declined after everything being arranged. To be raced in Barranquilla, Montoya assessed in this and he broke out the news of the failure. Petro also declined the Pan-American games in Barranquilla. As a result, Madrid was chosen for F1. Hopefully we can have a GP at my home country in 2028/30.
You forgot to mention that Carlos Sainz personally knew Maria de Villota, and nowdays carries a red star on the back of his helmet in rmemeberance. However, this was a great video
-Montoya to Ferrari
-Montoya complaining about bias to Schumacher
-Ferrari sabotaged Irvine's chance of the 1999 championship
-Kimi nearly bankrupting lotus
-Saudi GP practice session still going when a nearby oil refinery was bombed
-The way that Montoya and villeneuve left F1
-Honda at bonneville
-Sergio marchionne asking for "grey areas in the regulation"
-2007 and 2011 funny commercials featuring Mika Hakkinen (Hamilton and Alonso) (Schumacher and Rosberg)
James Hunt cutting corners on that race of champions was the most James Hunt thing ever
I love dipping in and out of this video. I had never heard of the 1984 Race of Champions.
In regards to the Mercedes Race of Champions, imagine as you mentioned a modern day equivalent, but also throw Dan Ticktum into the mix.
An idea:
Villeneuve x Pironi rivalry - The saddest, most depressing rivarly in this sport. It had a confusing start with none to blame, a rapid rise, a tragic end with a death, but that's not even the worst part.
Shortly after the accident, when the race was stopped, Pironi was rushing to the accident scene.
Sources say he stopped right at the scene, picked up Gilles' helmet and came back to the pits.
Other sources say Sid Watkins stopped Pironi from going there and gave him Gilles' helmet, then he came back to the pits.
There is a picture of Pironi going back to the pits with his and Gilles' helmet on his hands, with a grim face. I don't remember when exactly, but before this accident, Gilles promissed Pironi he would never talk to him ever again.. he successfully fulfilled his promise.
just got home from ufc 300 can’t been looking forward to this for a while man appreciate all your efforts
My contributions to part 4 if you’re thinking of it!
1 - John Surtees is the true goat, winning world championships on both 2 and 4 wheels - could expand to people who have raced in both at world level (Cecotto, hailwood etc)
2 - Lella Lombardi being the only woman to score points (I know you’ve mentioned it prior but maybe worth a deep dive!)
3 - royalty/noblemen in F1 (B Bira and I’m sure that there are others from early on, maybe a shout out to Ferdinand Habsburg)
Feels like if you bring up Lella Lombardi you should mention Desire Wilson too for being such a big what if story.
As far as royals go, de Beaufort and von Opel had very quirky life stories(so did Prince Bira tbh).
@@mooreanonumbersYou forgot Taffy Von Tripps and Fon de Portago. Secondary characters like Rikky von Opel and pre F1 Guy Boriat, the Earl of March and Count Czasowszki.
Also the first F1 casualty in chronological order: Charles de Tornaco, who ran in a yellow modified Ferrari
babe wake up!! vol 3 of f1 conspiracies dropped 🔥🔥
Some of the entries are fascinating and I was very surprised I had never heard of the Senna and Minardi thing. Thanks for the vid.
Another fun, entertaining, juicy and conspiracy iceberg. Another great day in the office for Peter Brook 👌
Didn't realise I wasn't subscribed, have now fixed that :) Love your content mate! 🇦🇺
I can't imagine the amount of work that it takes to make these videos, you're a legend bro. Cheers!
Love these Iceberg videos! If you do another, ive got a few suggestions for entries.
1. De Cesaris Health Issues. James Hunt would sometimes suggest that De Cesaris had a "twitch" that could be an underlying reason for some of his crashes.
2. Bravo F1. A mysterious team that was supposedly registered to join the 1994 F1 season along with Pacific and Simtek. They even appeared on the team sheat with 2 drivers "signed" for them.
3. "British Bias"
4. Formula E is the Riterement home of F1. This is a common sentiment due to the high ammount of Ex F1 drivers who joined the series in its earlier years.
5. Osella's lost podium. Larini almost scored a podium at Canada 89 in an Osella that spent most of the season failing to qualify, or even pre qualify. Also mention his P11 qualifying result at Aus 89.
6. The lost 1991 BMW entry. Simtek had designed a car for 91 to be used by BMW. They would not end up joining in 91.
7. Stroll's safety car curse. Its a bit strange how common it is for an SC to come out just a lap or 2 afted Stroll has pitted.
8. The Larrousse team and its carious criminal investors and partners.
9. FIA DSQ Larrousse from 1990 to benefit Legier due to connections between the 2
10. Frenzen offered yo pay his own money to fix the Jordan before he was sacked (this one I git from Wikipedia)
11. Dan Tiktum
12. McLaren at Turkey 2010 lying to Hamilton that Button had turned his Engine down to get him to do the same in an attempt to have Button overtake. Basically a more intellegent version of Fernando is Faster Than You. (Watch the 2010 season review for the radio transmissions)
13. De Cesaris podiums whilst having run out of fuel. He got 2 of these, the more famous at Monaco 82, the less famous at Spa 87, where he had to push his Brabham over the line to classify 3rd.
14. GP Masters
The Larousse (sp?) team, if I remember correctly is one of a few that could arguably dispute the name of 'Squadra Omicidi'
Imagine Grand Prix Masters still exist today.....
Now we need the Formula 3 Iceberg Vol 1
mr. iceberg never fails to fill me up with his information
If you're going to make a volume 4, i have one for you. Brazil 2003, turn 3 puddle of "death". The track was drying out after some rain, but there was a lot of standing water in turn 3. This took out at least 5 drivers including Schumacher, who spun out when a crane was on track removing other cars. This race was also the last win of the Jordan F1 team.
Vol. 4: Trulli was sabotaged.
In 2004, Jarno Trulli outscored Fernando Alonso throughout the first half of the season and took Renault's only win in Monaco. But after the French GP, all of a sudden he lost all confidence in the car, had a huge shunt in Silverstone and was then way off the pace for the rest of the season until he was eventually fired. Coincidentally, he had cut ties with team boss Flavio Briatore as his personal manager just before his remarkable and sudden drop in form.
I love these deep dive iceburgs, watched a few other iceberg video in the past but I really do appreciate Peter's historian type of approach with some fun and humour thrown in!
Been waiting for this video fr. What a legend this man
Couple of Vol.4 Suggestions:
-Lion GP, an unraced F1 with 12 wheels
-Chinese GP should've taken place at Zhuhai circuit long before 2004
-Jason Plato is the best F1 driver
i love this channel and these videos, i'm glad you're making them!
Loved this mate
Great video as always!
Love these, thanks Pete :)
Superb content, Mr Brook. To you, I subscribe.
YES! ANOTHER ICEBERG! I love these so much! ❤
Cant wait!
Grosjean Hit Ericsson. You know it’s true Peter. You can keep ignoring me but it’s true
I watched this video just today, but again excellent piece of work on this channel, one of the best F1 content on TH-cam, very informative, well researched, no clickbaits, fake informations or unfunny jokes. KEEP IT UP MY FRIEND! My two suggestions for the next iceberg:
- Formula 1 drivers who drove in World Rally Championship (apart from obvious drivers like Kubica or Raikkonen there are many F1 drivers who took part in the WRC, to some extent you can also talk about times before the formation of the World Rally Championship, for example Graham Hill and Jim Clark drove on the RAC Rally in the 1960s) and, in comparison, WRC drivers who tested the F1 cars (AFAIK the closest to drove in an actual F1 Grand Prix was Sebastien Loeb in 2009)
- Formula 1 in former Eastern Bloc/Iron Curtain countries. Specifically, during when the Iron Curtain still existed. We know that F1 came in 1986 to Hungary, but there were proposals of Grand Prix in Soviet Union or Poland, there were several drivers who drove the F1 car (apart from the obvious ones when the Iron Curtain was long gone), maybe they were people who worked in F1, also there was a thing called Soviet Formula 1 (and a few Soviet cars supposedly bulit to the F1 regulations but with obvious limits), the very good topic is also how (or if) the Formula 1 was showed in the press and media.
I know that particurarly the second suggestion is very troublesome, but I think it is very interesting subject. I'm from Poland and I know some facts about F1 in Poland, so I can provide some help if neccesary. All the best for the future and keep working :D
"Senna sabotaged Warwick" gave me LoL ptsd i stg
Keep em coming!
Are there any confirmed images of the AP04B chassis? Feels like that could be some kind of F1 lost media holy grail.
Also, something interesting you could explore for the next Iceberg, assuming you make one, is the failed Sauber Honda deal, and how it could have changed the entire complexion of modern F1.
Awesome series! 🙌
Brilliant upload
Very good Video!!! So underrated
For Vol 4, Verstappen winning all 3 (so far) of his titles in "weird" ways:
- Abu Dhabi '21 (self explanatory)
- Japan '22 (half points- wait no, full points- wait no, half points, etc.)
- Qatar Sprint '23 (Perez crashing out in a sprint, Verstappen clinches title in the middle of a race which isn't even the Grand Prix)
Nice. You included Barcelona 2012. I recommended that in previous. Thank U!!!!
If Senna signed for Minardi, the horde of sponsors, talented designers and mechanics would have been eager to sign up as well! Realistically elevating Minardi to the top of the mid field or possibly a front runner if Newey signed too!
Just what I needed 😊
Lewis Hamilton’s hairline
During the late 2000s Lewis’s hairline is good and so is his pace
During early 2010s Lewis hairline is receding and so is his pace
During mid to late 2010s Lewis’s hairline returns and so is his pace
During the 2020s Lewis hairline is going again (his forehead seems bigger now) and his pace is going
I may be wrong about his hairline now because I’m looking at photos and I’m not Lewis Hamilton so I don’t know from the top of my head if he’s got a receding hairline but the photos that i got look like his hiar is slowly pulling back but I could be incorrect but I do know he had a bad hairline around 2011-2013/2014
Whats funny about this is that during 2013 his hairloss was probably at its worst and guess what happend a year after? he won the world championship and his almost gone hair had been replaced with short but healthy locks
48:52 i can imagine them opening that section back up and some cyclist breaks in and gets pissed off at the drivers for being on a race track
Some new content for the iceberg. Nice!
And Nico Rosberg selfie curse? Interesting.
Abu Dhabi 2021.
In spite of everything, I still don't know why Hamilton didn't defend the inside and then do everything possible to keep Max behind.
Excellent video
Barrichello not winning in Brazil is such a shame, deserves a home win
Great video as always.
What I really noticed in this one: Your German pronounciation is very good for a (assumingly?) native English speaker! :)
Another's amazing video 😁🏎🏁
27:37 - you should've mentioned that O'Connell came full circle to motorsport, as his current employer Evelyn Partners were the W Series administrators.
Good Romanian Peter, you made me proud
oh wow i was just watching the first 2 parts yesterday
Great video as always
EDIT: 1:20:45 It's also reasonable to expect them to finish ahead of Arrows that year, due to Hill not driving for them that year
This video was great, I have a suggestion, if you haven’t covered it already do the controversial f1 race iceberg
This may be controversial but the MyEarthdream Hondas are beautiful.
Boys, we forgot about Tom Pryce. Luckily
I’ve just been crying at Newey staying at RedBull, and then I saw this and immediately got giddy with joy and started watching this to cheer me up!
EDIT: this has not aged well
I've gotta say the what ifs of Kubica's career pain me... would have loved to have seen what he could do in a Ferrari and beyond
An addition for the Iceberg would be the proposed Indonesian Grand Prix located in the district of Karawaci,there's already a pit-like office for the teams since Rio Haryanto technically raced in 2016 for half of the rounds,so why not an Indonesian round? Unfortunately,i think the planned Grand Prix was cancelled,the pit-like office was transformed into a normal district,and a huge abandoned parking lot would likely serve as a roundabout like the future Madrid circuit,the whole district of Karawaci too would actually be used as a Grand Prix circuit,making Indonesia a possible 14th Asian nation to get a Grand Prix.
The Pacific GP was supposed to be relocated to Sentul in 1996. Obviously it didn't happen as the track wasn't eligible for Formula 1
I'm from 🇮🇩. Yeah, Sentul wasn't eligible, indeed.
Peter is HIM
Volume 4:
- Grand Prix of America that was supposed to ne in New Jersey
- John Watson the Comeback King at Long Beach in 1983, and 3/5 Wins from 10th or Lower
- China cancelles 4 years in a row duebto Covid (2020-2023)
- Imola 2023 Rain
- 10 Different Tracks hosting GPs in the United States
I remember all of these five!
1:35:15 This one made me laugh out loud, because it's such an absurd, yet very fitting description.
The Earth Dreams Honda wasn't the first non sponsor car in 30 years. Tyrrell in the early 90's/Late 80's had 1 or 2 races with 0 sponsors and just the Tyrrell logo on the side. March also ran with 0 sponsors for a race or 2 in 92.
The non existence of Thierry Boutsen would probably be a good one for the next iceberg if it happens. Aside from Hungary 1990 and not fitting in the Jordan 193 I don't think he ever did anything
It's crazy, Boutsen started 163 GPs and won 3 and it shocks me every time I check
1:22:50
absoloutely spot on
EngineMode11 suggested it was not the tires, but rather the fuel that gave Maldonado the advantage.
The rosberg selfie curse is hilarious 😂😂
Was Surtees' nixing of BRM ground effect after his negative experience with Chapparal 2H in Can-Am? What an unlucky coincidence for those engineers to propose a design to the driver with a troubled whole-aerofoil car development in his past
Walter Wolf didnt 'merge' with frank Williams racing cars, he bought them out and then ousted Frank entirely, only to take his designs and win a number of races the following seasons, it was reprehensible.
Checked the calender at the breakaway series bit....would have loved to see them do F1 at Surfers Paradise. If only............... Also curious about the Helsinki track!
apparently schumacher was gifted a 7 million dollar mansion in dubai which he never even visited, that might be a fun one
Wow, so much stuff I had forgotten from recent history, like Maria de Villota, and many tidbits I didn't know about, like the extent of the Carterham administration mess.
54:20 that Jordan's a beauty.
I think there is also a pic of nico rosberg in front of the red bull garage during Singapore 2023
Volume 4 idea - Race stewarts favor British drivers
Thanks for adding some light to the whole Phoenix Finance fiasco. I've read an article about it years ago but it's a very, very obscure subject of the early 2000's F1 that was dominated by Schumi and Ferrari. Not a lot of information about it out there.
The unraced 2010 Toyota or the Prost AP05 could be interesting entries for Vol.4, can't remember if you've covered them yet.
My suggestion for fourth iceberg would be Why Monaco is popular place of residence for F1 drivers
