Came here to see one of these comments 😂😂

Also Hungary's starting grid says hi (at the restart ofc)
I was literally about to comment that
Oh certainly
@@yoeriw7099 I'll never forget the image of Lewis by himself on the grid 🤣
@@mattlovelltv3794 Also the way he drove off, pulling over to cover off the line of the nr 2 on the grid...
Fun fact - when I was 10, me and my dad were at this race, and we stayed through to the very end. We had no idea what was going on until we got back to the hotel afterwards and found out online. Younger me was a Ferrari fangirl, so she didn't mind it too much :P Also holy crap there was so many beer cans thrown on track. If you watch carefully, one of the Ferraris actually hit one halfway into the race.
well you had pretty much the whole race track to yourself
Ya I’ve watched the race recently, it was a plastic water bottle, Barrichello ran over it
He's talking about Indianapolis 2005.
But maybe you should actually take a look at Monaco 1996. Because that one was really special.
IMS had started their own box lunch program (Sandwich, chicken, chips and cookie) for $8 more you could get 2 oil cans(32 oz. ea.) of Foster's Lager. So there were hundreds of thousands of these weighty beers, and dozens and dozens were thrown at the Ferraris from outside the catch fence. We were in turn 1 (Stand H) and it was as close to a riot as I've ever been near. We left after 10 laps. Haven't been to an F1 race since, but the first 5 were great fun!
That wasn't Patrick Friesacher in the 2nd Minardi, it was Robert Doornbos.

"Possibly the biggest farce in F1 history"
Belgium 2021: Hold my wheat beer
It didn’t rain a lot, but it drizzled constantly and the cars throwing up spray meant visibility was still be zero and would be unsafe. They should have brought out the services vehicles to clear the water much sooner than when they did, but 2005:looked like even more of a farce when there was anticipation of a proper race. When all the spectators and teams rooked up on race day at Spa and the race start postponed several times in the first hour, it should have been in the back of some people’s minds that the race wouldn’t happen properly.
Yas Marina: this is a banquet!
Spa was a good decision, I don't want to see F1 drivers die.
Remember when FIA was randomly changing F1 to cripple the dominant team?
Yeah, can you imagine? And especially with something as silly as pit stop rules…
Oh
But they wont now bc they simp for Mercedes
@@chickenchomper69 you have to be joking. They literally introduce aero rule changes for 2021 which disproportionately affected Mercedes (and Aston Martin) to make it more competitive.
But keep believing what you want and simping for Max
@@Jwm367t Yeah for 2021, but apparently they had a seven year license to dominate the sport while redefining track limits

My dad drove all the way from Charlotte to Indianapolis for the race. Just for that to happen

I'm 13 I wasn't alive
Blaming Ferrari for refusing the use of a chicane when the FIA made specific rules to bring them down seems kinda odd to me
Agreed. Ferrari was punished for being too successful the previous year...then, when they're having a bad year, they are supposed to agree to be effectively punished again? I don't think so. The fault lies entirely with Michelin. Regardless of their lack of data, it's up to the company to supply a product that is fit for purpose - and if they aren't sure of the parameters, they should over-engineer them so they at least hold together.
@@aussiebloke609 especially when Michelin did the same thing to them in Spain in the same season where Bridgestone brought an unsafe tyre yet Michelin and those teams refused to compromise
Indeed. There were new tire rules specifically designed to penalize Ferrari and Bridgestone, and when it turned out they still had the better tires at one race, they should give up the advantage in that race too? Maybe Michelin should have let their teams use Bridgestone tires for the race - that would have been an advertising coup for Bridgestone!
@@tombardsley3081 after or before this race?
@@berndarndt9924 before. Spain was round 5. USA was round 9
I don't think you can blame Ferrari. I mean the rules creating this mess where only implied to make Ferrari lose. So why bow down if this is your only chance of winning?
You probably could if not for the aftermath where it was found out that had they put a chicane in the FIA, they would have been sued by the state of Indiana, so all's well that ends well (kinda)
@peter pan so fair that it was repealed the following year. So fair that it was announced when the cars for 2005 were almost ready so it was impossible to make up for this change. And besides, everyone knew for quite a long time that the Michelins were harder than the Bridgestones and would have had no problem to go the full distance. The FIA saw it and said “guess what, enough with ferrari winning, let’s also give the others a chance”.
They were offered this option plus one where the non bridgestone runners would receive no points. They screwed the fans simple as.
It's because the bedwetters at WTF1 don't like Ferrari and blame them for everything they can.
Exactly what I was going to say. 2005 was the season specifically aimed at cutting the Ferrari domination for the last 5 years. Imagine FIA doing this to Mercedes nowadays.
Thing you missed was that Michelin could have run a test day, but didn’t because Bridgestone decided not to. Bridgestone had transferable data from Indy and even tried to explain this to Michelin informally who got high handed with them.
The whole one set of tyres rule was an absolute joke, just to stop Ferrari winning so when the Michelin runners started having troubles in Indy after having troubles all season Ferrari's attitude of "why should go along with what you guys want?" is understandable in my opinion. I've been waiting for the FIA to come up with a similarly stupid rule to stop Merc in recent times
Well, as a Ferrari fan, you can justify the veto by blaming the FIA for bringing the no tyre change rule. I don’t see anyone doing this to the Mercedes juggernaut now.
Exactly
Bono, His tyres are ded
Let's just say it
Well it’s because they saw that sticking to regulations is best and not directly influencing the means to the ends.
Schumi should have been given a fair chance at another title… 8 probably would have been the result, this one was just kept from him as punishment
I love this F1 Content.
It's Wtf1 what do u think u will get fortnite
I feel like every other Motorsports channel has covered this race and done a way better job at it.
@@stefnik2904 no but we will get pointless commentary of people not really in F1.
@@GodFootDaddyG even WTF1 have covered this before I'm pretty sure, seem to remember it being better than this video, I like WTF1 a lot but this video feels a bit like they're just milking the content a bit
If only they didn’t support nicotine
And Narain Karthikeyan still can’t get a podium
So as Nico Hülkenberg
"Hulkenberg likes this"
Just imagine hulkenberg was in that race and he was p3 all the time but spun on the last lap lol
I'd be in pieces xD
Hardly a roast. What's your highest finish on F1? He's 4th. So as Hulkenberg.
0:08 “Boring races: Sochi, Annual”
The problem with Sochi is not the track, it’s the F1 cars, and proof? Watch any F2 race there, they are always mega.
Sochi is quite good tbh, compare it to Yas Marina and you’ll see
@@McPlayer8t F2 is amazing everywhere...except maybe Monaco
@@baysea259 Any car could race in yas marina and I’d be asleep by lap 3
Nick Piombo Again, the F2 action at Yas Marina is pretty good, I’ll never forget seeing Nobuharu Matsushita pass Louis Deletraz into the left hander after that weird triple corner bit after the back straight. I am a big fan of his driving so that overtake made me very happy. It’s moments like that that will never happen in Formula 1 because the cars are simply too fast and cannot follow closely enough under the current regulations.
And then came August 1st 2021: One car in the grid. :D
Friesacher is so forgettable that you're showing Doornbos instead 🤣🤣
I remember this. Watching all this unfold live was crazy. F1 was trying hard to promote themselves in the USA, and this demolished years worth of work. The crowd was LIVID.
Spa 2021 may give it a run for your money... Indy 2005
I'm here bored waiting for Spa race end. Found your comment brother 😁
Lmao just imagine if Jordan and Minardi both withdrew it would have been a 2 car race
And then imagine both of the ferraris crashing but still getting max points
One of the most memorable race for the portuguese fans!!
PORTUGAL caralho
Why
@@afhambinriyas8711 Monteiro is Portuguese and he scored third place
@@afhambinriyas8711 first and only portuguese podium in f1
how about Da Costa FE title or Macau win?
Meanwhile 2021 Hungarian GP.....
1 car
05:55 my man, thats Robert Doornbos😂😂
Lewis Hamilton Hungary 2021: Lol 6 cars are too many. OK I will create a new unbreakable record.
Spa 2021: Hold my rain
I remember being quite young and watching this race on television with my dad. Being portuguese, Tiago Monteiro being on F1 was a very proudful moment, we'd see every race, but it was extremely awkward to see him finishing in third when he was always in the lower positions.
Little did he know hungaroring 2021 was yet to come
Yeah and now there was a start of a Race with only one car...
4:32 the loudest "boo" I've heard at any sporting event, ever. BTW I lived in Indy at the time...NO ONE would buy Michellin for about 3 - 4 years. Also, they got blamed for the loss of the F1 race at IMS.
Says Indianapolis 2005*
Every F1 fan:we don’t talk about that here
They didn’t take the advice from the Coke 600 earlier in the year, same issue, same repave, same thing with Goodyear, but now everything is good
Meanwhile: Lewis starting solo in Hungarian 2021
Spa 2021 moment
Getting that recommend after the restart in Budapest is kinda crazy
"...and Patrick Friesacher"
*That's Doornbos actually*
You guys are crushing it this off season 👌
Thank you so much for all of the amazing content!
hungaroring 2021 - hold my beer
I was there. It was wild. We had no idea what was going to happen, but I don’t think anybody in the stands expected every Michelin car to pull out. It happened SO fast. Everything up to the end of the formation lap seemed like the race would run as normal then fourteen cars pull out, the race starts, and WTF!
I was at the race! I remember people throwing trash on the track and the state police department showing up lol.
It's the only F1 race I remember attending (I was at the Dallas Grand Prix in 84, but was 17 months old). It was a disappointment to only watch 6 cars racing, but cancelling or postponing it would have made it where I couldn't attend the race at all. A "bad" F1 race is still an F1 race, so I'm glad it wasn't cancelled.
As a portuguese Tiago Monteiro fan, this race was hella hype. I'll never forget it.
Belgian GP 2021: Are you challenging me?
This needs an update lol
3:27 All a part of Ferrari's previous Master🅱️lan
Binotto was there
It’s not even funny anymore
@@perdidledoink5475Same with the overusing of GOAT. Man, I really f***ing hate it!
*2021 Belgium Has Entered the Chat*
I think Indianapolis 2005 is now challenged by Hungary 2021 to be the craziest race ever
I couldn't imagine what some people would've felt if they canceled the race. If I had saved enough money to buy a ticket, fly to indy, and pay for a hotel just for the race to get canceled or postponed, I'd be so upset. Then again, doing all that and expecting the full 20 cars and only getting 6 would maybe be even worse?
Usually tickets would be refunded and travel costs reimbursed.
Edit: Actually I'm not so sure about the travel costs now. I remember they reimbursed the travel costs in one of the races but I can't find it anymore.
I was there for that race. It was definitely a bizarre day. Watching nearly all the cars go to the pits after the start, there had been rumors that it might happen, but we didn't really expect they would.
I love how it got recommend after Hungry Grand Prix 2021 and golden words "Lights out and here were go for Lewis Hamilton only".
Indianapolis 2005: I am the worst race ever
Spa 2021: Hold my beer
Belgium 2021: Hold my safety car
Spa was a good decision, I don't want to see F1 drivers die.
“Only 6 cars.” Try one😏
that is what i was about to say
All the cars doing 2 laps and taking 4 hours to do them is a new contender for the title.
Not bad for Schumacher moving from fifth to third in the standings 😂😅
4:30 "trulli led a train"
ok you got me there
You didn't say that the chicane idea was actually not going ahead anyway, becaude the circuit needed rehomologation even for such a small change
Even if the circuit needed to be rehomologated for the extra chicane, the chicane seems like a reasonable choice. Either that or postponing the race altogether.
@@EpicB re-homologation can't happen overnight. It was never a real possibility except if the race was held as a non championship race.
That would never of happened either, because if one driver crashed due to tyre failure, the team, and anyone else in charge of the event could have been prosecuted by Indiana for endangering the driver.
@@launchsquid In that case maybe they shot have just called it off.
But the circuit without the chicane was already unsafe for most of the teams
But even if it was possible, it would be extremely unfair to Ferrari. Ferrari had basically lost an entire season due to that one tyre set rule, so why should they let others snatch their win away after using the right tyre set? Rules are made for everyone. If Ferrari had to obey those rules, so would the Michelin teams.
I was there too. There were rumours of the pullout before the race but didn’t know what was gonna happen even minutes until the start.
We got a refund check for the tickets from Michelin a year later. Didn’t make up for the hours of driving and hotel.
The Porsche Supercup was exciting though. :)
F1 : 6 cars is insane
Hamilton 2021: Hold my mercedes!
Merc:"write that down,write that down"
Why did i get this as recomended after the hungarian grand prix with only lewis at the starting grid😂 sorry for bad grammar btw lol
"The Most Bizarre Formula 1 Race of All Time"
Belgium 2021: "No, you have a new champion..."
And now we had a race with only one starting
12 -year-old me was there. Still managed to take home some good memories. I randomly met and talked to Christijan Albers' mom at the mall the night before so I had someone paint her son's helmet on my face before the start. Little did I know he would end up in the points in his Minardi. I was also a fan of Michael so both drivers I supported happened to race. Sad to have missed the roar of twenty V10's at the start but I will still never forget the sound of those engines.
That mall was great. I met Fernando Alonso outside the PF Changs.
Belgium 2021: And I took that personally.
Hungary 2021: Hold my rain soaked beer!
I thought the chicane had been excluded because every corner needs to be properly tested for safety in advance.
@Some Guy they would have run the race as a non championship event if the chicane was installed. Chain Bear has an awesome video about this race.
@@W123KartSport the fia did threaten to remove all of it's officials if a chicame was built, though. Im not sure they could have had any race, championship or not, without any of the people who actually run the event being there
@@stefchemacrae5540 All the teams (besides Ferrari) agreed to staff the various jobs of an F1 race. Some would be tech inspectors, race control, etc. I have a friend who marshaled the event and he said that "the field itself went from 20 cars to 6 only hours before the race." Anyone in the know saw that Michelin cars had no chance of racing unless major changes were made.
@@W123KartSport and them being ready to race regardless of the FIA pulling out is why the FIA upped the threats.
This is correct. They were also afraid because the state of Indiana has a law that you could sue someone/organization for reckless endangerment
Lando: "It's Bwoken!"
😂😂 Good one
Lewis Hamilton 2021: Hold my beer
Even if ferarri did vote for the chicane idea then it wouldnt have gone ahead anyway because the FIA have to check and validate every corner that is raced around to ensure it is safe. Great video though
We were at this race as we had been at every F1 at Indy. Equipped with our scanners, we were privy to team and F1 communications. Early that morning we got the indication that all was not right in Bernie's world. We then started hearing discussions about doing the formation lap. Take the grid, start the race then before completing the 1st lap, pull off into the pit lanes. We waited until it actually happened. We already had our gear packed up ready to go. The Police outside were shocked as thousands of fans stormed out of the track. We didn't drive almost 7 hours to watch a damn parade!
LMAO, the US GP 2005 start looks like a packed starting grid now
who's here after Lewis was the only car on the grid at Hungary
MEEEEEEE
I have watched tens of videos of this US GP. Yet every time a new one pops up, I watch it again.
Love your videos! Loved this one!
this video: *exists*
Pirelli, Azerbaijan 2021: hmmm interesting...
This needs to be re-wrote
0:27 Literally every Gran Turismo endurance race ever. God bless GameShark. 😎
What is also bizarre is that after San Marino 1994, FIA still doesn't have a protocol of imeddiately canceling a race if accidents are showing that might be something wrong with the racetrack or equipment. In San Marino they also put into vote many options to increase security on the corner where a pilot had already died, and Senna would die in the next day, and nothing was really done.
My first GP and the scariest crowd I've ever been in.
Fun fact, I live down the street from IMS and was at this exact race 😂 shit was W I L D
I hadn't been able to watch qualifying, so the first I knew that something was up was turning on ITV's race buildup and Jim saying "we still don't know if we're going to have a race or not".
One thing that's often overlooked these days is the power struggle that was going on between the FIA and the non-Ferrari manufacturers, who were always going on about forming a breakaway series. I wouldn't be surprised if that had an impact on the FIA being so against the idea of running a non-championship race or letting the teams run a race themselves. If they pulled it off, what was to stop them organising an entire championship on their own?
wait till you see hungary 2021
Belgium 2021; hold my beer
Would anyone else enjoy a race with 6 midfield/backmarker cars rather than a usual Hamilton win, Bottas second and verstappen third, or is it just me?
I'd like to watch that.
This has been so well edited
again, great vid!
ehem hungary 2021
How about last weekend with a single car starting on the grid?
Simple solution: Just allow them to change the friggin tires when they wear out. The better tires still have the advantage of requiring less pit stops.
“2005 United States gp, the most bizzare f1 gp in history!”
Meanwhile 2021 Belgian gp: hold my rain
Honestly, this race was my earliest memory of F1.
I remember as a kid hearing the noises outside my house. It was a thing of beauty
Spa 2021, nobody will forget that, russell on podium, and mazepin got fastest lap, and the race is only 2laps under safety car.
I attended the 2005 USGP. Always at my seat at turn 13. The last before the front straightaway. I got my butt outta there in 2005 when the Colombian fans behind me started throwing bottles and such and couldn’t get out of there fast enough. What a screw up for F1. I did go back the following year because I was offered two free tickets. But in 2004 when Schumacher hit the wall. I was right in the stands about 15 rows up and scared the crap out of me. Luckily for the catch fence keeping the debris from hitting me and my buddy. But I seriously thought Ralf got killed in the crash as it looked like it took forever to get help to him and he wasn’t moving. Scary time
Good video dude.😃👍
Record broken by Hamilton at the 2021 Hungarian gp Because he was alone on the grid
People: Omg 6 cars only?????
Gran Turismo 4 players: First time? 😂
as a Portuguese that was the best race ever, Tiago Monteiro finished at 3rd place and it was the first and still only podium of a Portuguese driver in the history of Formula 1
still remember that race as a kid, everyone on the news talking about it, chaos and the great achievement Monteiro did
