2008 was a year where all title contenders drove badly. You have Massa spinning 5 times at Silverstone, spinning in Australia, spinning in Malaysia, going off at Monaco. And then you have Hamilton crashing into Alonso at Bahrain, crashing in the pit lane in Canada, illegally overtaking Vettel in France, and generally lacking pace at Brazil. And then you have Raikkonen crashing in Monaco, crashing in Spa, crashing in Singapore. A very error-prone season in the first year of the traction control ban and that is what made 2008 so entertaining in my opinion. The unpredictability was off the charts.
And that's not all the spins (or off-track excursions) in the video. Kubica, DC, Vettel, Fisico, Button, and even Hamilton also had a spin/off-track excursion during the race.
khjfreddy LeClerc takes that to another level by ending the spin back into the racing line. Like seriously, how did he do perfect pirouettes in TWO different races?
i was thinking the same thing but thought a pro F1 driver should probably be familiar with the track layout after years racing there. still, would have been hilarious (but dangerous) if Massa rejoined the race going the wrong way!
It’s appalling that no one is talking about Lewis’s wet weather skills. HE LAPPED EVERYBODY EXCEPT THE TWO PODIUM RUNNERS. And even they were a full minute behind him. Have some respect for the 6 time world champ.
@@DrSabot-A it's called gravity, still works when the wind is off XD Back then I actually took a glass bowl to test if it would be enough because I was certain F1 had a high-tech secret solution haha Many years later I found gokart helmet mounted cylindrical cameras also clean up that same way with just wind and water weight
Cletus Spuckler Massa very clearly had a setup issue. It even spun driving in a straight line. Most likely Ferrari thinking it would dry up therefore using a dry setup. Commentators also talked about a throttle issue.
If you remember 2008, it was the first time since 1999 that traction control was banned again. All the drivers were still trying to adjust to it, the first round was hilarious to watch
That surely was one of the best races ever! Wish I could've been there at such an old layout of the circuit! And how many times does Massa have to spin?
Say everything you want about 2 of Massa's spin, but the other 3 are pretty obvious to someone that is serious and doesn't want to joke that there is an issue -He spun twice at Luffield when he smoothly applied the throttle, without touching any kerb white line. Kimi spun in the same manner once. - His third spin was a result of acquaplaning, wrong tyres at the worst part of the circuit
Kimi spun because he was on the wrong tyres. Massa is just a trash driver. He did the EXACT same mess in Silverstone 2002. Enough. He is mediocre. Always has been. Fisichella destroyed him in 2004 too.
@@markhenley3097 it's obvious that he wasn't confident, but especially the 2 spins at Luffield weren't a mistake by his side... Engine mapping there was an issue
@Ethan Surman he had some solid drives in Silverstone afterwards as well, in 2015 and 2016. Despite the fact that Williams was extremely low downforce wise, he didn't do any mistake
I remember my parents talking about how Massa kept spinning at Silverstone in the wet very early in his career, it seemed he never learned and spun the most in this race too 😂
After the second spin there was zero chance of Massa making a comeback, the way F1 was back then. He should've just retired the car as Lewis would say.
imagine if Button had quit in Canada 2011... when he pitted for the third time, there was no way that he could've done a comeback... Honestly, only weak people think like this. That they should give up just because they spin twice. You never know when the rain will stop, a safety car will come in... Imagine if all those things happened and he had gave up before...
You should not give up even when you are last. Remember Monaco gp rewind a few weeks ago. The 3rd podium was the last car. Maybe all the car in front will crash at the final lap and massa can get on the podium.
If Massa had bagged even a single point in this race he'd have ben world champion of 2008. Let that sink in... Yes. He'd have been World Champion by countback
Didnt realize it was actually quite close that Mclarens didnt took themselves out in the first corner....that would have really changed the championship.
I have no idea how Massa managed to spin 5 times in a race, but what is more baffling is how me managed to keep the car going at 9:00. How did he not beach it?
Watching that race, you'd never have believed Massa was a title contender
He looked like an amateur
As a Massa fan, I believe this was one of his worst races yet

Spinning that much should be hard. You must spin without crashing to spin again

That double overtake from Heidfeld
Both of them.
