I’m always astounded by how early these contracts were signed in the early 2000s. Makes today’s teams seem unprofessional by how close they cut things now.
I'm thinking that while there was for sure some political string pulling in the 2000s, it was nowhere near under as polarizing or under as much scrutiny as it is now (Especially when you consider Social media was not even remotely a influencial force that it is today).
Incredibly nobody has mentioned Mark Webber so far! He made a few moves in the 2000s but his move from Williams to Red Bull was the most significant, as he and Coulthard together matured the Red Bull team, and their efforts plus that of Newry and Horner made the team ready for championship when Vettel joined.
The 90's had some pretty major moves Prost, senna and mansell, villeneuve to williams Schumacher to ferrari Hill to arrows Piquet and schumacher to benetton
In light of Button’s failed move back to Williams, I’d suggest doing a top 10 potential driver moves that didn’t happen ! Imagine if Alesi and/or Senna got signed to Williams over Mansell !
Hes my favourite british driver of all time honestly, i wish he stayed at brawn turning into merc and won more, he was more than capable of winning more titles
I cant believe I was so lucky to live and watch the entirety of this decade of racing not even just F1. Just all across major circuit racing. JGTCC, ALMS, Rolex Sports Car Series, BTCC, DTM, FIA GT Championship, Champ Cars, IRL, NASCAR, WRC. What a time.
My top 10 would be: 10- Massa: Sauber - Ferrari (06) 9- Button: Renault - BAR Honda (03) 8- Fisichella: Renault - Force India (08) 7- Trulli: Renault - Toyota (05) 6- Raikkonen: McLaren - Ferrari (07) 5- Hamilton: McLaren (07) 4- Alonso: Minardi - Renault (03) 3- Montoya: Williams (01) 2- Alonso: Renault - McLaren - Renault (07/08) 1- Vettel: Toro Rosso - Red Bull (09)
@@gioprox5207 Yeah but while significant, it didn't last and little of fruition came out of it compared to Vettel winning four world titles which I would argue it far more important. It obviously wasn't as high profile as the Alonso announcement as Red Bull were shit upon the announcement but in terms of lasting repercussions, it was far bigger
I think 2010s might be an interesting idea since 2020s would be a while away and F1 is starting to have much longer contracts than year to year like the old days where drivers were pushed to prove they still had their time in F1 or were better than getting a rookie in F2 possible F3 assuming they had the points to race in F1
Montoya was definitely champion potential! I remember watching him and thinking OMFG what even is this guy? Some podgy South yank absolutely smashing it in a car that most days had no business in being at the front (though those beemer engines were infuckingsane)
Seb Vettel. Won two teams their debut wins. I wonder if anyone else from 1950 onwards either matches or beats that... Ironically I feel Seb himself would know given his knowledge 😄😄
2005 December was crazy. Alonso to McLaren, and Räikkönen signed with Ferrari. 3 months before Felipe Massa made his debut in Ferrari. Räikkönen deal was not announced until Monza GP 2006, but half of the paddock knew about the deal months before Monza.
Raikkonen came close to winning the championship at McLaren, signs for Ferrari in 2007 and wins the championship by beating BOTH McLaren drivers. Ron Dennis must have been fuming after that.
Schumacher usually get's a lot of credit for building the Mercedes team up and stepping aside just before they started winning. It's strange Coulthard doesn't get the same credit for building up Red Bull and bringing in Adrian Newey.
im not a hamilton fan but the most decisive move is Hamilton to Mercedes GP as he won 6 wdc with this team. if he wouldve stayed with mclaren he wouldve left F1 by the end of 2016
I know about the usual fortune making companies, they are the same in F1; they deal with contracts and look for profite: even a legend like Michael Schumacher has been chomped by Montezemolo and Ferrari for Raikkonen (started back in 2004/2005), same happened to Vettel lately (2019) at Ferrari ... McLaren (Civil war drivers, Spygate) and other teams, such as Renault (Crashgate my multi-million-pig Briatore), Red Bull and the sister team (Helmut "burn my carreer" Marko), Mercedes (favoritism to Lewis, I need 50 mill, a share and "Bono my Valttery is gone") This is how all teams treat their drivers and many drivers "their" team, they all don't care about anyone, they just care about the figures, if in the end the deal was worth it ... Both parties end to be humble and sportsman when it comes down to the money ...
McLaren's luck: Signed Kimi at a time when Ferrari was winning everything. Signed Montoya who failed to match his previous results. Then they signed Alonso not knowing he can't handle an overly-ambitious young driver.
In a way Mclaren deserved that. The team wasnt run that great in the 2000’s and missed some championships. Also lost Newey by not treating him well enough.
I think THE RACE should do the 1990's next. Hill going to Arrows from Williams after winning the title still amazes me. Nobody can tell me that Frentzen was a better driver than Damon Hill. Frentzen shouldn't even have been close to a Williams drive. Barrichello was better than Frentzen even back in 1996.
If mid-season changes count, then the 2010s would be a good one. Hamilton to Mercedes, Max's mid-season promotion over The Torpedo, Seb jumping to Ferrari, Alonso's return to McLaren only to fight Honda engine reliability more often than other drivers (and an Indy 500 bid that saw his substitute driver punt Pascal Wehrlein onto his side at Monaco), and Leclerc to Ferrari after one year at Sauber come to mind
Here's the best of 2010s 1. Hamilton McLaren -> Mercedes 2. Rosberg Williams -> Mercedes 3. Vettel Red Bull -> Ferrari 4. Verstappen Toro Rosso -> Red Bull 5. Alonso Renault -> Ferrari 6. Button Brawn GP -> McLaren 7. Raikkonen Lotus -> Ferrari 8. Grosjean Lotus -> Haas 9. Alonso Ferrari -> McLaren 10. Massa Ferrari -> Williams

similar to micheal and nico for hamilton
The 90's had some pretty major moves
Prost, senna and mansell, villeneuve to williams
Schumacher to ferrari
Hill to arrows
Piquet and schumacher to benetton
They are not inlcuding the arrival of rookies, so Villeneuve's debut at Williams wouldn't be included, maybe his move to BAR for 1999.
In light of Button’s failed move back to Williams, I’d suggest doing a top 10 potential driver moves that didn’t happen !
Imagine if Alesi and/or Senna got signed to Williams over Mansell !
The cars of the 2000s were the sexiest of all time.
2008 most of all. Damn, but the McLaren and BMW Sauber look good.
imagine those with slicks. The Ferrari driven by Mick and the Renault by Fernando looked even more gorgeous than in 2004/05
And that's a fact
does Button from Brawn to Mclaren still counts ? , deal was done at the end of 2009 ;)
If Irvine to Jaguar counts because it was for 2000 then unfortunately Button to McLaren does not

I'd argue that Kimi's move to Ferrari to eventually replace MSC was a bigger move than Alonso's.
if the ferrari was a little bit better alonso could have been a 2 time ferrari champion.

Vettel is just epic, what a career, if he can win one last WC with AM, its the most epic career
I know they weren’t very good at all, but I’ll be damned if the Jaguar cars don’t look smooth as hell
It's overused a lot in the F1 community but the fact is, Kimi Räikkönen , is in fact a legend
