- Yes, you read it right. At the 2021 Portugese Grand Prix, Mazepin was voted allegedly driver of the day through the voting system on Sky Sports. The Russian Driver could no way win this on merit and it was down to some tomfoolery and banter from F1 fans on Twitter. But why was it believable and how did F1 and Sky deal with it?

I actually legitimately voted him driver of the day because I would vote based on how much entertainment a driver would give and he was my driver of the year in that regard 🤣👍
Well that's one way to do it! Lol
I remember this happened with Robert Kubica in the 2019 Hungarian GP. A ton of Poles had come out to support their national hero and many fans were voting for him even though he didn't do anything that special. F1 didn't want a backmarker winning DotD and "recalculated" the results and gave the award to Max, which pissed of most of Poland.
Latifi and Sirotkin were voted as dotd once aswell…. F1 fans just love voting for the worse drivers
He almost became the GOAT but latifi was on the scene.
Latifi smashed him lol
@@thegridgab id smash mazepin too 🤤
@@thegridgabbecouse Mazepin didn't run at Abhu Dabi
Latifi was also voted driver of the day for the 21 Canadian GP, but f1 didn't show it
Robbed
I’m pretty sure I voted Mazepin DOTD in Bahrain for a laugh and lots of other fans showed their vote over different social media platforms and u could say that that race was rigged by giving another driver DOTD (I forgot who it was now, I think it might have been Perez), but they’ll never be a way to prove it
The real result exists on a spreadsheet somewhere
You forget Rio Haryanto get driver of the day in 2016 Australian GP. But if I recall correctly, the vote result is recalculated before the race end and Grosjean got the DOTD. Pretty sure F1 didn't expect Indonesian internet user will flood the vote because at that time the support from Indonesia is pretty high since he the 1st Indonesian national F1 driver in history and people see him as a national hero.
I do believe the vote for Haryanto is pretty high until 2016 summer break but F1 probably block any vote from Indonesia after Australian GP.
Yes I do, Rio got robbed there!
Haas, a proud American team being dependent on Russian oligarch money was hilarious irony to me.
Mazepin. Good lord. I'd managed to forget him 😅
Every creator gets 1 Mazepin video. This is mine lol
@@thegridgab Noted haha
they should've given the awards as voted by the public like how 'Boaty McBoatface' was given back in 2013. If the award is given stupidly, then it's the public's silly decision, not F1's. The drivers have a sense of humor so they would just laugh it off.
I always voted for Latifi, he was the GOAT and the other drivers should say thank you he never used more than 5% of his skills
sandbagging his whole career
Mazepin is like an extreme version of lance stroll
stroll is actually performing well compared to earlier in the year
We also hated Mazepin because he sexually harrassed several women (on camera).
Absolutely. I did show the press statements about that in the video but I think youtube get a bit weird about even mentioning Sexual harassment. As it's early days with the channel I chose not to say it directly
He did not sexually assault her...she was fine with being touched but not fine with it being recorded and blasted all over the internet!
@thegridgab so you basically got your content flagged because you were spreading false information ...hmm
I remember seeing him really high up in some of the driver of the day votes.
2022 abu dahbi goatifi not getting dotd was robbery too.
2:03 nope that title goes to Gary Brabham…
I voted mazepin I forgot this even happened lmao
A little question , what will you do after the season is over , review of the season ? covering other types of races ? As there will be quite a big gap between this weekend and first pre season testing in februari .
Review of the season, expectations of each team for 2024, loads of stuff planned.
Anything you want to see?
Id like to see your opinion on the new sprint race stuff, if it changes
When Haryanto won it at the 1st race of 2016 XD (Or was he the 1st winner ?
Nikita could actually have a somewhat legit chance at driver of the day in at least one race in 2021. Mazepin got the fastest lap at spa in 2021.
Make the music louder in the beginning! Its too easy to hear you
Sirotkin was as unlucky as Hartley, he wasn't bad, just a bit mid
Might have been too harsh but I do Hold Hartley in a higher regard
@@thegridgab yeah Hartley was defo better
Driver of the day just a means to assure fans regardless of who is at the top... perfect cure for heartbreak 💔💔💔💔💔 💔💔
Isn't driver of the day is the one who win the race???🤔🤔🤔
The reality is "the end of the day" what's count 😎😁😁😁
you would think so but the race winner rarely wins it now
@@thegridgab true 👍
Let's never talk about him again
One and done!
I was there.
I voted him
Ma Ma Mazepin...
