    You missed an interesting factoid of why RB decided to buy a team instead of just being a sponsor.
    RB wanted one of their drivers in the Sauber seat but Peter Sauber decided to do a mad lad and put Kimi Räikkönen in that seat instead despite protests from everyone because Kimi only had 23 car races under his belt. Worked out well for Sauber since Kimi instantly became one of the most talented drivers on the grid.
    So "Iceman" being so good Sauber decided to take a massive chance on an incredibly inexperienced driver is responsible for Red Bull owning a F1 team(well, two).

    You’ve overlooked the real reason Red Bull has been successful in F1 - it is almost entirely due to signing F1 aero specialist and design guru Adrian Newey.

      @@F1FanCanuck Not entirely. Newey actually signed for the team when it was known as Jaguar, still under Ford ownership. The team principal then was Bobby Rahal, who drove Indycar Marches designed by Newey in the mid-80s (which also used underfloor venturi tunnels, a factor almost all F1 'experts' seem to have forgotten when they say nobody in F1 currently has experience with ground effect; well Newey does...). However with Ron Dennis desperate to hang onto Newey, he got Mansour Ojjeh to agree to pay Newey more than any driver except Michael Schumacher, and the promise that McLaren would allow and support him designing Americas Cup yachts.
      Newey then cancelled his move; and Rahal was sacked by Ford soon after, in favour of Niki Lauda.
      Then after the Red Bull takeover of the Stewart/Jaguar project, Horner made it their #1 priority to get Newey, who was already very familiar with the factory/ equipment/ facilities etc from having 'signed' with them in 2001. Although Coulthard was supportive, it wasn't very much his influence/ idea.

      “So in those days, DC having driven cars of Adrian’s at Williams and at McLaren obviously knew him very well and said ‘what you have to do is you get a dinner with Adrian and his wife because, let’s face it, the wives make all the decisions’.
      “So we arranged this dinner in The Blue Birds in London and that’s where it all started and DC was talking to Adrian’s wife about everything and anything and that allowed me to have a conversation with Adrian and it turned out we had grown up in the same part of the UK, we’d gone to schools that were almost next door to each other, albeit distanced over time, but we had many things in common.
      “I think what Adrian saw was, he was inquisitive why had DC come and what had he found when he got there and was it fun? Because I think he felt slightly stifled at McLaren and this team that was full of energy and ambition, we were not quite sure how we were going to achieve it, but with the backing of Dietrich [Mateschitz - Red Bull owner] and Red Bull and the brand behind us, it really appealed to him.
      “We found out how much money he was earning at McLaren and he was nearly sent straight home, but Dietrich backed it all the way and said he was the right guy for our team and the rest is history.”

    Interesting side story I can add to this. Someone I know worked for Red Bull F1 in the early days of the team. He was partly responsible for pushing the team in a different direction that allowed them to make such dramatic improvement so quickly as a new team.
    Traditionally teams would carry several spares of every part of the car, meaning big logistics and costs. They decided they would travel with less parts to save money on the logistics by looking into and gambling a bit on what they would hopefully only need.
    In doing this they saved money they could put back into RnD.

He would have had the championship sooner if it wasn't for Bottas (A Mercedes) taking out both redbulls in Hungary and Silverstone where Lewis completely crashed out Max to win while only received a 10 second penalty.

      @@tosehoed123 It does in the sense that if the other cars had unlapped themselves, there likely wouldn't have been enough time for one more flying lap if you include the lap they have to do behind the safety car in the "correct" (unlapped) order. That was basically the entire controversy: usually under a SC, all cars unlap themselves, getting behind the SC and then they get to race again. Unless of course they run out of laps, then the race finishes under the SC. MV decided to pit for fresh tyres (right call, nothing to lose), LH chose track position, which would have been right call for the race leader given the number of laps left. It looked like it was going to finish behind the SC, or racing would resume but with ALL the backmarkers still in place, meaning that MV wouldn't have had time to pass them all and attack LH for the lead and the WDC. So either way, LH would have won. So in this case, it did matter for the end result whether or not certain cars or all cars unlap themselves.
      As to Masi, did he break any rules? No, but his decision to basically say: "fuck it, I wanna see some racing between these two to decide the championship so I'll just let the backmarkers between them go and then call the SC in so we can have some racing," went against basically the spirit of that particular rule for as long as it had existed.

Red Bull only stopped sponsoring them following their purchase of Jaguar. Red Bull had NOTHING to do with Jaguar/Stewart until Jaguar hired Red Bull backed Austrian driver Christian Klien (later also drove for Red Bull from 2005-2006) in 2004. At the end of the 2004 season, Jaguar were bought out by Red Bull following Ford's exit from F1. Also stating that Stewart had "3 unsuccessful seasons" is a blatant lie. Stewart struggled in the first 2 seasons, sure but their 1999 was excellent. Barrichello scored three 3rd places throughout the season, at San Marino, France and the European GP. He also grabbed a pole position in the French GP. Johnny Herbert won the European GP meaning that the Stewart drivers finished 1st and 3rd, a double podium! They finished with 36 points which gave them 4th in the constructors behind McLaren, Ferrari and Jordan. They beat Williams and Benetton, 2 established title winning teams, also finishing ahead of Arrows, Sauber, Minardi, Prost and BAR. That season gave Ford the confidence to buy out Stewart altogether.
      The main catalyst for Dieter wanting to enter F1 as a team was Kimi Räikkönen's move to Sauber in 2001. Dieter wanted to see Enrique Bernoldi in that seat but Peter Sauber obviously chose Räikkönen and Bernoldi got the seat at Arrows (Sponsored by RB from 01-02). That made him realize that if he wants true control, he needs his own team. That part was left out of the video completely.

    The controversy on Abu Dhabi 2021 wasn’t just that Massi allowed cars to overtake the SC, which is allowed. There where several cars between Lewis and Max and more behind Max. By Merc’s calculations, if the SC ended with a couple laps to go, Max didn’t had enough laps to overtake the cars in front of him and then challenge Lewis; and they didn’t had enough laps for ALL the lapped cars to unlap themselves and then restart the race. The controversy was that Massi allowed ONLY the cars between Max and Lewis unlap themselves, which gave them exactly one lap of racing with no one between Max and Lewis

  • @benjaminjacobs5382
    @benjaminjacobs5382 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    There were a couple pretty key points left out of the Yas Marina summary here:
    (1) Backmarkers are supposed to be allowed to unlap themselves under a safety car. The controversy came from the fact that the Race Director allowed ONLY the cars between max and Lewis to unlap themselves. There were several other backmarkers behind Max that were not allowed to unlap themselves before the race restarted. This was an undisputable breach of the rules which disadvantaged Lewis and all of the cars which were not allowed to unlap. Had the rules been followed correctly, it may have taken longer for the backmarkers to unlap and could have caused the race to end under safety car. Max would have also had pressure from behind him, which could have impacted his racing. Also, the backmarkers behind max were effectively prevented from racing for positions on the last lap, because the handful of cars in front of them were allowed through but they were not.
    (2) The Mercedes team didn't elect not to pit because they're less risky than red bull or unwilling to play aggressive like red bull. It was a pretty simple and obvious decision. If they had pitted, they would have been guaranteed to lose position to Max in the moment. Especially with no guarantee that the race will restart or when you know you'll only have 1-2 laps to pass after the caution is lifted, the only option is to stay out and maintain your track position. Track position is critically important in all race conditions, and the leader of a race is kind of always in a catch-22 when it comes to pit stops (unless they have 20-30 second lead). In the moment, every broadcaster, commentator, etc. recognized this fact that Mercedes had no option but to stay out. It's pretty strange that people retroactively try to characterize it as a mistake, presumably to justify Red Bull's win.
    Not a huge Mercedes guy, but not a red bull fan either. Just think the actual context of the race is important.

    • @McGuinty2
      @McGuinty2 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      The thing that rubbed almost everyone the wrong way was the fact Masi only let the 5 lapped cars between Hamilton and Verstappen past (after they had already given them a conflicting message that they would not be allowed past). This left 3 lapped cars who had all stopped for fresh rubber unable to potentially fight for position with the unlapped cars, and in the way of other cars higher up the order such as Sainz.
      I think part of Masi’s reasoning was that if he let all 8 cars unlap themselves (which was more than half the remaining field), they would not be sufficiently far up the road and might interfere with the leading cars on the restart, but there was only one racing lap left and there is no way the leaders would catch them before the checkered flag. It certainly would have looked a lot less like he was manipulating the race if he had let all 8 lapped cars go by, but really it was an impossible situation because of the timing of Latifi’s crash and having to make sure the circuit was safe before any unlapping or racing.
      The biggest problem to me was having the team principals have direct access to the race director by radio during the race and able to shout and whine to their hearts content. I’m glad they at least made new rules to end those shenanigans.

      @@PattyjoAtworkstill wouldn’t call it a ‘mistake’. I READ the regulations, being the nerd I am.
      It states that the Race Director has ‘full discretion’ regarding restarts after a Safety Car. The problem was in the writing of the regulations themselves. Do the FIA not Lawyer? You could throw an entire person through the holes in those regulations. If Masi wanted the cars to stop, drivers get out, stand on their heads and then push the cars in themselves for the checkered flag, he could have. Letting lapped cars pass is perfectly ok. The ‘controversy’ came in the form of not letting the other two cars behind Verstappen past.
      One thing: he could have let them pass earlier and there still would have been a full lap to go but he was waffling despite the crash being cleared up. But he was waffling, because he was being yelled at by both Horner and Wolff the whole time.
      The regulations allowed him to do what he did. Was it a loophole? Maybe. It still was there. Max was legally the winner. But it was also highly unorthodox. Masi favored racing over finishing under the safety car. This was fine, except, he ticked off Mercedes and Hamilton and the British, who have F1 by the ballz. That’s why Masi sacked.
      A great wailing came up from Britain, heard all the way around the earth and even the dudes on the space station heard it. They pressured the FIA into firing Masi and Masi (and Latifi) needed guards because both of their LIVES were at risk from the outraged Hamilton fans…they even heaped rasist abuse on Masi and his family (Masi is Jewish).
      It was all a big sht show.
      But the rest of the world loved it. Best Lap EVER.

In this case it gets mentioned because normal safety car procedure dictated there wouldn't be enough laps left in the race for lapped cars to pass and unlap themselves, which race control told teams over the radio, so it dictated the decision for mercedes notto pit and for red bull to get their free stop. Masi later decided to only unlap the cars between Lewis and Max so that there would be enough time to restart the race with one lap left with the championship leaders right next to one another. This was not technically against the rules in the sense that the race director had the power to overrule safety car procedure, but was absolutely against normal safety car rules and clearly engineered for the sake of television in a way that many felt was directly at odds with the integrity of the sport. It's hard to argue Max was undeserving IMO, but it felt absolutely wrong to manipulate the outcome of a championship for the sake of headlines and good riddance to Masi for the way that entire season was handled.

    -Hit by Bottas in the Hungarian GP due to lockup of Bottas, car was severely damaged, unlucky.
    -Pushed off by Hamilton at Silverstone while Verstappen was at P1. Crashed with 51G, the car needed an extra gearbox and engine meaning penalties for the next races. Hamilton 'won' with 25 point, very nice sportsmanship by celebrating while Verstappen was rushed to the hospital because of Ham's dirty push which resulted into a 51G crash. So the guy who is always complaining about 'dangerous driving' couldn't really care about a 300 km/h! crash into the wall.

    The last F1 race of the 2021 season was a little more complicated then that. The crash brought out a safety car, and the rules actually state that the backmarkers have to pass to catch up to the back of the pack, literally in the F1 rules. What James didn't mention, is the FIA initially said that the cars COULDN'T pass. Horner called in to complain (as he should) and said that is not the rules, and you have to follow the rules. Then the FIA overturned their decision and let the backmarkers pass, after Max changed tires. So at the end, Max didn't get special treatment or anything, he got justice at the end and RBR played their cards well. If anything, the original FIA decision was to help Hamilton, not Verstappen, and they got called out on their bad decision (which contradicted FIA rules).

Ultimately, if the unlapping procedure was to be followed properly, ALL lapped cars should have been permitted to unlap, and if that causes the race to finish under safety car conditions, then it was meant to be that way.

      said conditions and that's what should have happened. Max Verstappen is an amazing driver and deserves every bit of his success but as a Red Bull/Honda fan that win tainted his championship and I honestly believe Lewis was the winner that day. Unfortunate that it had to end like that.

      @@MershedPerderders True, but if there wasn’t enough time for all cars to unlap, and it wouldn’t of made a difference in the title if they did. They’re not going to end the race and championship title on a safety car lap. If there was more laps remaining i’m sure they would’ve. Max still deserved the championship.
      Wouldn’t of been an issue if Hamilton didn’t cause the silverstone accident costing max points. Max would’ve had enough points to hold the championship lead with a 2nd place finish on the last race in that case.

      Before lights out I was thinking that either of them deserved the title as much as the other. The way race control decided to make things happen, though, didn't make it feel like a proper victory and I think that would've applied the other way around as well, if lapped cars would've stay where they were and Hamilton would've won, we would be having the same conversation. I think they should've done something like red-flagging the race so we could have a one or two final laps straight duel rather than handing it to one of them

    You forgot to mention another rule that contributed to the controversy which was that the safety car per the rules should have exited the race after the following lap which was exactly the last lap, therefore, the race should have ended under the safety car with every driver maintaining their current positions. Instead Masi decided to overrule that rule and pull the safety car one lap early so that it would end more dramatically with a 1 lap sudden death. By all accounts, Mercedes should have won that race. Whether Hamilton deserved the WDC overall across the season is a different matter. What ultimately counts is that race alone and it was botched and engineered.

      Masi technically had the power to make that decision. Also, if he was quicker he would have had cars pass labs prior and had that safety car in sooner. If he ran that SC PROPERLY from the start we'd have the same outcome and not controversy. To me that season overall turned out how it should have.

    The controversial part of the last race is a bit wrong. It's normal that backmarkers are passing the safety car and unlap themselves. The controversial part is that only the cars between Lewis and Max were allowed to unlap themselves. The 2nd controversial part is, that they usually wait until they caught up to the back, but the safety car came in straight away and the race continued.
    One can see why Michael Masi did it, becaues the race otherwise would've finished behind the safety car, but he did bend the rules...
    I believe they should've just red flagged the race after the crash, would've been fair for everyone as they can all change tyres and then restart the race for the remaining laps

      Lewis had ample opportunity to change tyres, but merc were scared of losing track position. And you make it seem like half the field was out of place, when in reality it was only one car that wasn't in between max and Lewis. And all the teams agreed before the race, and the rule book states, that every effort must be taken for the race to finish under green flag conditions. And the safety car could have been bought in at least 2 laps earlier

    17:18 Should have mentioned that all the teams had agreed beforehand that they would not end the race on a caution if possible. Even though Masi did it in quite possibly the worst way possible, he should have repeated to all the teams when the crash started to give Mercedes a chance to make a decision.
    Whether you think the race was robbed or not really depends on what side you are a fan of. But drivers taking advantage of situations is part of F1. Hamilton himself benefited from this earlier this season at Silverstone where he would have DNF and been out of contention earlier had a red flag not come out and given him the opportunity to fix his cars. Same goes for Verstappen. The race outcome may have spoiled the win for some, but for his performance overall Max absolutely deserves the championship win.
    Also, Masi wasn’t technically fired. He was removed as race director but he still works for the FIA. There is even talks about reinstating him for next year.
