Never ask a man his salary, never ask a woman her age, never ask Jenson Button what happened to Hamilton and Alonso in that race
Lol
That’s fantastic!! 😂👊🏻
They got in the way of History
Hilarious that Hammy fans are still bitter about Button winning that day. I've honestly seen people claim Button did it deliberately.
@MrSniperfox29 I was there in the car with him, he told me "hammys about to have a bad day" then swerved into him.
I would have told someone, but I was the one who told him to get Alonso
An entire video could be made about Kobayashi vs Massa in that race. They fought each other for like 50 laps only for Massa to overtake him on the finish line (0.04s)
that's something i didn't know, nice comment, need to watch that season
Massa could've easily been 2nd or 3rd that race had he not aquaplained trying to lap a HRT
@@WizzkidwasKarthikeyan finished that race P14 which was huge for HRT but got a massive penalty for disrupting leaders during blue flags so he ended up P17 lmao
kobayashi is way up there with best drivers to never win an f1 race. dude is mindboggingly talented and had his career pissed away
thankfully he settled for dominating WEC instead
@@ketam1ne420are you referring to all time Le Mans lap record holder and absolute WEC GOAT Kamui Kobayashi?
All seriousness though, that 2017 lap still feels unreal
the real MVP was the time limit. Imagine if they had the 3 hour maximum we have today. It's a small change but i think going back to the 4 hour time limit would be great for the sport.
True
2011 was Button's best year. He won the title in 2009, but his 2011 performances were the best in the world.
He wasn't better than Vettel
@@theapplicant3424vettel is the most overrated champion of the 2000's
@@jamesmorgan1142is he fuck
@@jamesmorgan1142*2010s
And no he wasn't, that would be Lewis.
@@jamesmorgan1142 ha good joke
The mere fact that the BBC postponed Songs of Praise showed not only how extraordinary this race was, but it was a testament to how much they cared about Formula One, only for the BBC to then effectively giftwrap it for Sky Sports six months later, something which I'm yet to forgive the BBC for.
Well, now that josh has jinxed it, we know what that this weekend is gonna be the best Canadian Grand Prix of all time
Lap 1 t1 verstappen gets taken out and alonso gets a win
@@parkerwalsh3340 The scenes that would unfold with a Red Bull double DNF and an Aston Martin 1-2 (whoever you want on top). I know it's too freaking unlikely regardless of the circumstances, but boy, would that be a sight to behold.
Perhaps a win for Lando Norris after taking the lead from Max?
@@aditsood9369 I honestly don’t see that happening for as long as Aston, Ferrari and Mercedes are on track
@@parkerwalsh3340 you better believe I’m dosing up on a whole lotta hopium
Remember watching this live. And when Button finally overtook Vettal I cheered so loudly my mother asked if I was ok. And I remember 15 year old me going I'm going to remember this race for a long time. Amazing video !
What a race that was. My 17th birthday as well. Mum was getting more and more annoyed because we were supposed to be going out for dinner at Nandos but all i wanted to do was watch this insane race 😂😂
Ha ha - so really the meal was somehting she wanted. On your birthday!
I will never forget Michael's timbre on the radio when he said "OK....."
When did he say that?
during the first series of pit stops for inters, went something like this:
Engineer: OK Michael, box this laps for intermediates. Box this lap for intermediates
Schumi: OK... are you sure what you're doing?
E: Jenson is on inters and he is the fastest man on track right now.
E: Stay out Michael, stay out.
S: Too late (drives into the pitlane)
very funny exchange, it lives rent free in my head
@@ketam1ne420 I think it was Bono that said box for inters
As a Canadian, this race really is a classic, i remember watching it when i was a little kid getting bored during the red flag periods but forgetting about it when i saw my favourite driver Jenson Button win, at one point i even thought he was out so this blew my mind
Honestly, my all time favourite race. I remember watching it at my parent's place being so happy to see Jenson go on a wet run of a lifetime.
Jenson was a master class back then, that high downforce setup turned out great for them, he had traction on a track no-one had any and his wet driving skills that day put him up there with great rainmasters such as Senna and Schumacher. Back then we could only watch F1 on satellite TV in South Africa and that was one of the rare occasions I could watch it live...
Remember this race. It was one of the best races I've watched since 1998. It was Jenson at his best.
You wasn't thinking about Spa in 1998 were you?? Hmmm.....😂
This is one of the few races I've watched on multiple occasions just such an awesome race.
For me, it will always be 1995 and seeing Jean Alesi finally break through and getting a ride from Schumacher after the race.
I was there with my father, at the exit of the hairpin, under the trees on the hill. The hill became muddy quite fast and everyone was shoving their umbrellas into each other's face. Everyone was checking the weather on their smartphones, and quickly the rumor that the race couldn't possibly be restarted got around the general access areas. My father and I decided to go back home rather than risk being wet and miserable for nothing.
When the red flag was called, we had enough time to take public transit back home before the race restarted.
2011 was the third season i had watched, JB's championship in 2009 being my first and he was my favourite driver for a long time!! I still remember every single bit of this race, it was incredible, that last lap was insane, it was unimaginable?! Hands down one of the best races in modern F1, an absolute classic that every F1 needs to see!
Another great race of Button. I'm a huge fan of him and if there wasn't RedBull he'd surely gained more world driver titles. Shame that the McLaren started to suck from 2013 onwards and the start of the hybrid era so he didn't had anymore chance since his last win in Brazil 2012. He may "only" gained 8 wins for McLaren but it's overlooked how many podiums he reached from 2010-2012 and often was in the title hunt till the last 3 or 2 races
If the track stayed wet until the end that day, Michael Schumacher would have won this race.
The first full GP I watched when I was 8 years old. A passion that stayed since ❤
Same man are used to watch quite a few races before, but I was never so intense since 2011. It was literally the greatest race of all time.
Coulthard and Brundle's commentary about the red shouldered bird was magical! "David what type of bird is that?" ... "Why that's a red shouldered black bird Martin!" 🤣
I always wonder what Hamilton would have done that day without that confusion with Button. He was *so* much faster than Button before they collided - which is why Jenson had been told to let him pass and was making that unusual move on the straight that caught Lewis out.
canada 2011 is ‘that race’ everyone who watched it remembers where they were and who they were with, i can’t think of many since that come close to it
This isn't the best Canadian GP ever, it's the best GP ever period.
Spa 1998 just entered the chat.
I been a massive Button fan and a lot of races stand out for me like, 2004 Monaco since that was insane due to accidents behind the safety car and it ended up Button trying to past Jarno Trulli in the final laps screaming at my TV. Then that same season 2004 Germany GP the race with Kimi rear wing failure and Button having helmet tear off issues where where he had to hold onto his helmet in the straights since the wind was effecting him and I think he over took Alonso as well doing it. And then 2006 Hungarian GP which everyone knows already
Like really Button could of won the world championship in 2004 with BAR if it was not for the most dominant Ferrari ever made he could of won at least a couple of world championships if he did not stick with Honda during the dark times of the earth car era but again due to Honda pulling out of F1 he did finally win it with Brawn
SVG won in NASCAR! You gotta make a video about this Josh PLEASE
There are stories that teams would use Jenson Button's tyre choices during the race to dictate their own pit strategy!
C'mon baby Stroll, make Canadia proud.
People forget how legendary JB was in the rain
People forget how great of a driver he was overall.
He won’t be mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Vettel or Verstappen because he wasn’t fast-tracked into race-winning cars from an early age, and admittedly, he won’t be remembered as a driver who could drag a midfield car kicking and screaming into the sharp end of the grid like Schumacher or Alonso.
To me, Button deserves to be mentioned alongside the likes of Hunt, Mansell, and Hill, as a driver who had to fight hard to get into F1, and fight even harder to stay there, and when the opportunity to win a title finally came along, grabbed it with both hands and didn’t let go.
You should do a video about Pedro de la Rosa
You are about to make a new impossible win video for Shane Van Gisbergen just won a NASCAR cup race
I remember having to listen to this race on the stairs cause I was like 7 and was supposed to be asleep. I was a massive JB fan and I'm still kinda pissed I couldn't watch 😭
Hey Josh, a video about Ferrari's win at Le Mans maybe? :D
They just replayed the whole race on TSN here in Canada the other day. I had a feeling I had heard Jenson Button won the race, but for the longest time, I couldn't figure out how it was possible.
Could you do a video on that brilliant run by Shane van Gisbergen in NASCAR
What I remember about this grand prix is Kamui Kobayashi's chance of a podium...he was at least in 2nd place until his tires gave up.....as a massive Kobayashi fan...that was painful to see him losing the podium....
He won this week at Monza!
Dude, Shane Van Gisbergen just won the NASCAR Chicago Street race. New video idea maybe?
THIS^^^
If you want a example of how Jenson Button well and truly stood alone in these kinds of conditions, I strongly recommend you check out the Hungarian GP later that same year.
On-and-off rain all day, the track seemingly bone dry one lap, then greasier than your average politician the next. Up and down the grid, drivers and engineers alike losing their heads over what tyres to be on at any moment.
All except Button. He mastered the unpredictable conditions, kept his cool, and cruised through to take the second of his 3 wins in 2011, on his 200th GP start, at the circuit where he claimed his first ever win.
Probably the strangest Canadian Grand Prix was the 1973 race. Another wet race, it was also the first time a Safety Car was deployed, it also led to absolute chaos in the timing and scoring. Nobody was 100% sure who actually won the race, only being decided when each and every team handed in their own lap charts to try and work out a winner
Whatver happens..im definitely getting a subscription to surfshark after this video ends...josh has some convincing power he does not realise. Good on ya mate...
Hopefully this gets u some commission.
Security of sur lancelots race seat…best sponsor line ever created 😂
I remember watching last laps of this race as a kid and being upset that Michael didn't keep the second place.
Lewis Hamilton - punting Red Bulls since 2011...
Josh, please do a video on this Week’s NASCAR Winner
My favourite F1 race of all time, it was such an epic drive
I remember this race like it was yesterday, arguably the best F1 race of the century. Fingers crossed for something as epic this weekend!
From a Polish perspective, 2008 Canadian Grand Prix is the right choice 🇵🇱🍾🏁
Best Canadian Grad Prix:
1. 2011
2. 1995 (Alesi)
3. 2008 (Kubica’s vengeance)
4. 2019 (Seb still won 😭, I’ll never let it go)
5. 2007 (Kubica’s crash and Lewis’s first win)
6. 2014 (Riccardo’s first win)
"The Mercedes just didn't have the pace to keep up with that Red Bull." *The more things change...*
Well, about Vettel before that race and in the early 2010s. Yes, he was fast and dominating. But only since 2011. In 2010, he was an underdog and wasn't even leading the championship at the last race. I don't even think he had more points than Mark Webber.
So, at that race in 2011, people were still getting used to his domination, unlike what you said Josh...
Imagine if someone started watching F1 and this was the first race they saw. That's exactly what I did lmao
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is my favorite track hands down. I mean it helps Ive been there a few times and walked the track and everything and the island itself is a great experience even when nobodys racing or in winter. Its fast, its narrow, it has hard breaking points, multiple overtaking points for the brave, it flows and of course that famous wall to catch out anyone and everyone taking a snooze on the final straight. Simply an amazing track a stones throw away from old montreal. And when theres weather its even better to watch
This wasn’t just the best Canadian Grand Prix ever, I believe it’s the best Grand Prix ever. It had everything and the fact the winner went from last to first and to take it on the last lap. It’s above anything I have seen or read in the past 40 years.
The saddest part is now with the time regulations, this race wouldn’t of happened. We waited what seemed like hours for the rain to clear, from recollection some TV stations gave up broadcasting.
I thought 2014 was a good race both Mercedes were expected to come 1st and 2nd but then late in the race Hamilton retired with break problems and Rosberg has the same problem with Ricciardo taking his first F1 win and it was also McLaren last points finish in the Canadian GP with a 4th and 9th
5:31 that Montagny joke is wonderful lmao. Also this race is a favorite for me cause JB is my 2nd favorite driver and Sebastian Vettel is my no. 1. Great times
Only race I've ever listened to on the radio and it was absolutely brilliant
Still one of the best drive of any drivers ever.
"Over 4 freaking hours."
NASCAR: 4 hours? Yeah, 'bout average.
Everyone talks about Jenson. I only cared about Michael Schumacher that race. ❤
Since I never was able to catch the races live, I used to download them on Sunday night. I remember being like, "WHY IS THIS GP FILE SIZE SO F&%*ING BIG!?" 🤬
It was worth it. 😎
Thanks for taking me on a trip down memory lane. ✌
one of the greatest races of the history of f1 !
I watched this race with my dad when I was 12, he had been a huge Button fan his entire life. Was a great race, possibly the best ive ever watched
wait you were 12 and your dad was a Button fan his entire life? Didnt Button join F1 in like, 2001?
@@lRedKill3r Not literally his entire life, but since Button joined F1 😂
@@olliesutton1804 ohhhh okay lol
In my opinion, easily the best race of the 2010's
the talent on the grid in the early 2010s that didnt get to far in their careers shows how brutal f1 is
This is rhe most memorable race for me. I remember nt buddy and i watching it all day at his house, ans both of us jumping around his living room when Button made that pass. I'll always remember that day.
I was in hospital post major operation when this race happened. Watched the whole affair doped up on morphine and greatly enjoying the adventures of the ducks swimming down the track as I didn’t have a lot else to do, and back when F1 was still on free to air tv. That ending was definitely worth it though.
This race was amzing and button really earned it the man in those conditions was Just magic
Don't Forget the 2008 Race
💙 BMW
For me, it's greatest race ever. Way better than '19 Hockenheim.
The greatest race of all time
Thank you for mentioning Schumi's drive, he awesome that day, after he passed the Massa/Kobayashi battle (without anyone shouting "through goes Schumacher" in an overexcited manner like Hamilton at Silverstone) he was actually catching Vettel before the final Safety Car. As much as I have to take my hat off to JB, I will curse that Safety Car to my dying day as "My Michael" would definitely got a podium that day and maybe just maybe would have made the top step.... #keepfightingmichael love you Schumi x
Make a WTF happened to andrea de caseris
Remember watching this race with my dad, we’d watched it all the way through including the stoppage and Martin Brundle and David Coulthard’s bird commentary. The tension as the last few laps unfolded and when Button overtook Vettel we both jumped off the sofa cheering. A race that we’ll both never forget and rightly so.
Schumacher climbing his way to 2nd and still gaining in the wet is just peak Schumacher lmao Managed to hold off Webber in that dogwater of a Mercedes. Man still had some good days in his 2010-2012 stint despite his nerve damage.
Love the last words at the end, but with all honestly I don't believe that Vettel, even at his absolute peak, was as good as Verstappen in his current form. Vettel was always prone to making mistakes, he definitely was talented but in my eyes both Alonso and Hamilton were above him in that regard. Vettel had a lot of luck of being in the right place during the early 2010's. I do miss the engine sound of those days, lol.
you forgot to mention the marshals, they spent the red flag sweeping water uphill
Sad about Massa in that race, could've easily been P3 had he not aquaplained lapping that HRT
too many whatifs
great video!
Terrific memories but....here's another who doesn't know the difference between lucking-in and lucking-out....................
Thank u for explaining....
I couldn't understand watching it live
Chur bol, 1st season proper into F1! Thank you for being the info, the catch up, the reason I can probs go Champ for Champ w/ Seb. All the humor; straight up KIWI ++++ LESHHHHGOOOO UP REVELL!!
Thank you for calling out F1's ridiculous anti-wet weather racing rules. Races with changeable conditions are the few chances we get for a crazy race with a mixed up order (Monaco '96, Spa '98, Britain '08, Canada '11, Germany '19, Hungary '21, Russia '21, would've been Spa '21).
And before people attack me on "safety grounds", these are meant to be the 20 best drivers on the planet. If they can't handle the rain, hire better drivers. Listen to the likes of Stewart, Brooks, Herbert, Mansell, Montoya, etc. They all recount a respect for racing and a discipline in the wet that we don't see any more because the sport is unnecessarily bubble-wrapped. They are the best in the world; let them race.
The Canadian sports network, TSN, is re-running classic Canadian GPs this week. 2011 airs to-morrow night.
"It aint over, until its over"
Pfff, Raikkönen clearly proved that in Suzuka 2005.
But despite of what Button did (sure, he deserves every credit in this race) and the fight he had vs Schumacher and Webber, Kobayashi vs Massa was probably the highlight here.
Kobayashi could have transformed into a (possibly) top tier driver if he either stayed with Sauber after 2012 or if he went to a better team. Who knows how far he could have gone. But up to now, he probably is the best japanese F1 driver overall.
However, he has a huge amounts of success in Le Mans and Endurance (after F1), so it worked well for him.
NOPE. The greatest was the 1995 race. Jean Alesi driving Gilles Villeneuve's #27 with an inferior V12. And he won on his 31st birthday too. And the sight of Schumacher driving him back to the pits was rated one of the most iconic moments of the season.
For me, it was I think the second best race I've ever witnessed. It had everything, and so much tension for so long.
Of course, the only race which I think beats it is the Brazilian GP in 2008, but while that wins for overall excitement, it was mostly crammed into just a few moments at the end, whereas the Canadian GP just ahd everything for hours.
It even had a moment where David Coulthard, whilst commentating with Martin Brundle, described a bird as having red "shoulders" while he scratched around for something to talk about.
People talk about Button, and rightly so, but I'd nearly forgotten Webber and Schumacher's ding dong fight over 3rd. I spent that whole last part hoping Vettel would spin off and not be able to rejoin so we could have Button-Webber-Schumacher as a podium.
I remember watching this live. The TV wasn't following Jenson for the longest time, he wasn't mentioned. I noticed Jenson moving up the places and I said to my dad 'watch Jenson', he said 'why?', I said 'because he's doing well and he looks like he's going to do something really special'. Soon after my dad wandered off.
I watched him moving up the places and still, for the longest time, no mention in commentary or shots of his car...
Eventually it was all over and my dad wondered back in and said 'Who won'. I told him. Reaction: 'Oh'.
"If you see a Red Bull up front just remember it ain't over till it's over." Correct. If the lead Red Bull wrecks it'll just be the the 2nd one winning by 10 seconds instead of 20-30 lol
Except in todays field you dont have drivers like Button,sure you have Alonso Lewis but thats about it,Leclerc has been cursed by the whole of Mexico thus his season is "lovely",Sainz is there but not "up" there,Perez is like Webber hit or miss mostly miss since he cant get the max out of his car,Russel is fast but at times his brain goes bye bye & still has a mistake or 2 in his locker,Ocon cant since the Alpine isnt there yet,Lando good in quali but trash in a race,and the rest arent even worth talking about.
This race could have happened anywhere, and it just happened to occur in Montreal.
The 1978 race was significant because it happened in Montreal. Villeneuve's maiden win anywhere else would not have been so special.
I disagree with the assertion it was the longest race ever. It actually wasn't, if you take away the red flag stoppage - as you should - the race only lasted 27 seconds beyond the 2 hour time limit. Olivier Panis's win at Monaco in 1996 was longer
I think f1 tv has a couple of different versions of the race. One with Button and Crofty on commentary (and Di Resta too I think). And an analysis with Palmer jr and de la Rosa. Of you don't want to sit through the whole replay.
As a Vettel fan, this moment still brings me great anger and pain. He absolutely bottled it here, and this remained his biggest choke job up until he one-upped it at at Hockenheim in 2018…but then again, I still do not understand how button got away scot free with two at-fault incidents over the course of that race. I guess this race was spoiled for me being a big Seb fan, so I don’t really see it the same way everyone else did. But regardless, Josh made did this race justice with this video.
I watch F1 today in the hope I'll see the next race that goes down in history like this. Unfortunately they're all usually borefests now and decisions all aimed at making it more of a show than a sport. This race wouldn't be allowed to unfold in 2023 the way it did in 2011. Majority of the race would be behind the safety car and then called off.
Remember when they weren't afraid to start a race in the rain, and let what could happen, actually happen.
Today, if there's but one drop of rain on their visors they start crying, saying stuff like: "Man, I can't se shit out here." or "Visibility is really bad" and want the race to be red flagged.
These are the best drivers in the world. But they can't handle a little puddle.
My flatmate is not an F1 fan. The only two races he sat and watched were Brazil '08 and Canada '11. Not sure how he affected it but I'm thinking of paying him to watch races with me if you guys want to chip in?
I watched this race on speed tv in the USA, for some reason I had to record it because I couldn’t watch it live. And anyone that used DVR knows to record the following show if you’re filming a sports event because my brother in Christ, you don’t know how mad I got when I saw jenson on Sebastian’s ass only for the recording to stop before vettel spun out. The race was so damn long with the red flag it cut out most of the race
If any of the drivers complained about the fact it was raining. . . They should be fired. That's what they're paid to do!! That's what they're paid a f*ck ton of money to do!!! It's a joke
that chrome vodafone mclaren is the most beautiful livery ever in f1. Especially the 2007-2008 years that is the last time cars looked good
