The Sakhir GP was enough to make grown men cry for many reasons: Russell’s win taken from him twice Perez’s first win in 190 races And Grosjeans Return to the paddock
I honestly dont know why people are sofond of Russell, he's barely been in F1 and he's been on a williams where he practically goes unnotice by the cammeras.. so where does all the hype comes from?
@@hellknightf1 F2 champion, the best of the rookies, hand picked by Toto to be Hamilton's successor, and arguably the biggest young talent put on hold on the worst car on the grid waiting untill bottas or hamilton make way. Everyone on F1 recognizes him as a future world champion in waiting, that's why.
Man, that shot of Checo with the fireworks going off behind him is just such an awesome sight. Beautifully lit shot with great framing to capture a truly historic moment in Mexican motorsport.
@@rodracer4567 that was true, i´m from Mexico and i can confirm that he pretty much took every front page and everyone was sharing that foto of him with the fireworks behind, it was awsome!!
I think we can call this season a classic, because of everything that happened. From 1st time podiums by Lando, Albon and Ocon, to Surprise results from Stroll Pole and Perez and Gasly wins. Not forgetting Seb's Podium and George's bittersweet first F1 points to Max's 2 dominant wins. Hulk came back and smashed, Sir Lewis Hamilton was inevitable as usual and Ricciardo and Sainz showed that they are exceptional talents as they move on to their new teams.
@@swamin764 he drove the ferrari for 5 years because he joined in 2015 but i guess if you count in 2015 too then yes he has driven the ferrari for 6 years
Hamilton winning on three wheels was utter madness. Incredible tire management - you can hear the usual cool and collected Bono’s voice get a bit concerned.
RP vs Mclaren was basically like the hair vs the tortoise: RP was fast but they had many problems throughout the season Mclaren wasn’t as fast, but the consistency paid off in the end
Oh my goodness.... 2020 might have been a curse on us, but this season gave us some of the finest races and moments to cherish..... I literally cried in joy when Checo took the chequered flag........
"She weights 740 kilograms and uses 1.6-liter turbocharged engines with 950 horsepower per car. It costs 3 million dollars to ride this weapon, for an entire weekend."
Honestly, the moment of the season should be Grosjean walking out of that scary crash at Bahrain.... It just shows how much safety standards have improved in F1
i only now realized the only race where seb scored his (final) podium with ferrari was the one where lewis took the 7th crown. him congratulating lewis' win makes so much more sense to me now
How come the only thing they put for records were broken is lewis hamilton getting most poles and wins and not Kimi Räikkönen getting the most race starts?
@@InstrumentalsBeats Kimi´s record is a record of achievment. Not everyone can be fast enough to drive in Formula 1 after so many years. And nobody said Kimis record is more important but it would be nice to feature both achievments in the video
Grosjean story is enough to make grown man cry. His sad story with Haas, massive crash and eventual retirement. But coming back to compete in Indy and smashed the result there. Grosjean, you earned my utmost respect.
I hate you for making me cry again watching Perez's P1. But thank you for making it the last one. Amazing video, amazing season, amazing community. Happy New Year and see you again ❤👍
As a die-hard F1 fan, this was probably the craziest season I've seen since 2012... amazing, from Norris' podium and joy when Gasly won to missing some heart beats after I saw that Haas in Bahrain to some tears at the Sakhir GP ... a rollercoaster of a season, and my oh my, I loved it!
Brazil 2019 : Hamilton hit Albon to give Sainz his first podium Austria 2020: Hamilton hit Albon to give Norris his first podium McLaren : Thanks Hamilton
@@andrefiliks Almost Sainz's first win! But I would say no. Check his qualifying and starting grid. He got up in the second rowby his talent and by lap 1 both Norris and Sainz were in p2 and p3 battling with Hamilton coz the McLaren was the fastest car in Monza! That restart made Sainz's position lost so was Norris's. But Hamilton's mistake gave him P2. And we're all happy about it!
I'm extremely happy for Gasly, well deserved. Also.. imagine if Albon never gets a seat in the future and therefore, never gets an F1 win. No one ever knows what the future holds, especially if you persevere and keep working hard and believe in yourself.
Every race this season had incredible stories as a fan this season was worth every moment watching and a season to be watched live present at the track would've been a fans' greatest pleasure.
This season also showed how the media can destroy and crush a driver. Makes me think how proud they are at doing that job. Still the bantering goes on and on.
After Bottas said in Monza that he had always escaped the shoey, I noticed for the first time that at 8:25 he literally stands away from the celebrations to not have to do it...
The editing on the 2 Sakhir grand prix highlight reels was masterful. The music choice was perfect and the pics and vids were all so beautiful I had a lump in my throat. Goddamit I love F1.
@@CHRISrnbWORLD 2018 was only better in case of championship fight because until germany ferrari still got chances, but this season was way better in aspects of midfield fight, these crazy stories and new tracks
To me Pierre winning was the highlight of the season. The post win radio always give me goosebumps and make me tear a little. Just a lovely motorsports moment
This season was absolutely crazy, an absolute roller coaster ride of a season. It’s been so difficult for everyone but overall it’s been amazing and I’ve loved it. Happy new year lads
I got the chills listening to Gasly post win radio, and then I rolled my eyes hearing Lance talk about how he nailed his pole lap. I wonder how I would react if I had no background on those two. I don''t think I've seen the shot of Romain still in the car while the flames engulfed him. I know that's what happened but never saw the video slowed down. Amazing.
Crazy how 2020, a year full of uncertanties and fears, could produce one of the best seasons I can remember since started following F1. Hamilton's path to glory, new winners, cinematic accident and comeback, Perez finale... Such a great season!
@@thawk6792 you're right. Aston Martin may be Mercedes powered, but so is Williams. The slowest car on the grid. The only way Vettel could beat Hamilton is if Bottas gives him his car. Which won't happen because Hamilton wouldn't allow Leclerc, Vettel, Ricciardo or Russell as his teammate. He wants someone obedient like Bottas.
@A-W-E KKK The 2019 and 2020 Vettel is way too slow, probably because of problems in personal life. But in 2018 Vettel was the only driver making pressure on Mercedes, and his car was in average slower than Mercedes. In the first half of the season the cars were approximately equal, but in the second half Mercedes was much better. Vettel managed to get 5 pole positions in the first half, but zero in the second half of the season. Hamilton got pole positions entire season, but in 2nd half he took almost all of them. Almost all the fastest laps, in the entire season, were Red Bull and Mercedes. So, it was clear that Ferrari was slower and less reliable than Mercedes. Vettel had problems with his car in some races, while Hamilton had none. People claim that Ferrari in 2018 was FASTER than Mercedes, which is pure idiotism. Ferrari had 5 pole positions, Mercedes had 14 pole positions. If that's equal then a director and a cleaning lady have equal salaries. But despite having slower and less reliable car, Vettel came 2nd, and big part of the season he was making strong pressure on Mercedes.

I think we can call this season a classic, maybe not because of the championship, but because of everything else
I think we can call this season a classic, because of everything that happened. From 1st time podiums by Lando, Albon and Ocon, to Surprise results from Stroll Pole and Perez and Gasly wins. Not forgetting Seb's Podium and George's bittersweet first F1 points to Max's 2 dominant wins. Hulk came back and smashed, Sir Lewis Hamilton was inevitable as usual and Ricciardo and Sainz showed that they are exceptional talents as they move on to their new teams.
Little did we know what was in store for us in the 2021 F1 season
I'm just hoping that the Aston Martin next year suits Seb...
It’s a big change....he drove a Ferrari for 6 years and now he’s going to drive a Mercedes, let’s hope for the best
I'm optimistic about this project, the car should suit Vettels driving style and is a contender for podiums.
