Super Aguri collapsing was probably the worst and best thing that happened to Sato’s career. I mean, look how successful he is at Indycar!

"The last forty years" *Shows picture of Forti* Well played, editor.

Racing Point 2020: let's copy the best car from last year Super Aguri 2006: let's copy a 4 years old backmarker car that didn't even finish the season

You forgot the biggest joke in F1. It's not Andrea Moda, it's Life Racing Engines. The team that ran dangerous FIRST chassis which had failed the crash test, a broad arrow W12 with barely more than 400 hp at its best and overall speed akin to an F3 car. In Brazil the mechanics never even put oil in the engine and Gary Brabham crunched to a halt in pit lane. The team never pre-qualified and folded ahead of the infamous 1990 Japanese Grand Prix.

You wonder what might have become of Super Aguri if they'd survived and made it to 2009. Supposedly the double diffuser idea that took Brawn to the championship actually originated at Super Aguri. After the team shut down their (tiny) design team got absorbed by Honda, which is how the idea made it to Honda/Brawn.

Fun fact: the 1995 Forti Corse was the last F1 car to enter a race with a manual transmission.

I used to love arrows as a kid simply because they were orange 😂

Lola Mastercard disappeared at the start of season

I always liked the little underdog teams. Especially Minardi and Arrows. I loved how the drivers were able to drag results out of the subpar machinery.

Is there something going on with HAAS or Williams that we don't know about?

That AGS livery @1:36 looks like Alonso's 2020 helmet design!

Oh! What a wonderful piece! The Race channel is on a great streak recently. Keep on great work!

Must be sad to make it all the way up to F1 and have to quit mid season

Caterham having to be crowdfunded to take part in the last race of 2014 would have been a good dishonorable mention 😂

It was a pity about Super Aguri. Aguri Suzuki seemed a thoroughly nice bloke.

Arrows - Verstappen - Bernoldi. Is the combination I missed a lot

Brabham, Arrows, Super Aguri, Larrouse, Ligier, and Forti are among those i remember when they were gone.

That Simtek always looks so nice.

So most of them are Italians? Classic! 😂😂😂 (I'm Italian too)

The sad thing about Force India - the team that began as Jordan - collapsing was it happened five days before the 20th anniversary of its first win at Spa Francorchamps

Damn I miss the Arrows team

Some teams from the last 40 years that could be added: Fondmetal, Spirit, RAM, Theodore, EuroBrun

Damon Hill was a beast around the Hungaroring. Did well there every year.

These small teams and backmarkers added some colour to the scene, as many of them had some very nice looking cars and colour schemes. Nowadays everything all looks exactly the same

That livery at 1:35 is just like Fernando's recent helmet design!

Yeah these teams would be the perfect example of why f1s business model isn't successful, it only works if you have a ton of money, and now each new teams entering they need to pay 20 million dollars to each team to compensate them

There was a lot more to the Andrea Moda story. Sassetti intentionally sabotaged any attempts by Perry McCarthy to run the car in practice and qualifying as he wanted to replace McCarthy with another driver with lots of cash behind him. In one race he was sent out to qualify with wet weather tires on a dry track. The next race he left the garage for the first time 45 seconds before the end of qualifying which did not leave enough time to come around before the red flag fell ending the session.

For mine it's Arrows because their collapse was precipitated by their deal with Jaguar (who were owned by Ford at the time) to run Cosworth engines signed in 2001 which caused the whole Walkinshaw operation to go out of business which meant that the Holden Racing Team in the Australian V8 championship were scrambling to find new owners at the start of 2003 (manufacturers are banned from owning teams in the ATCC) thanks to a deal with Ford.

great content my dudes!

0:37 the moment you realize that Uralkali and Sofina both appeared to the 2018 Force India/Racing Point nose.

I'm amazed by the fact that HRT somehow managed to survive 3 full seasons

Similar to how every team thinks they will win when the 2022 rule changes come in. But it’s not mathematically possible.

FYI I wanted to lookup that track owned by AGS and if anybody else also wants to, it's called "Circuit du Var Luc", and is located near "Le Luc", which pronounciation in French is actually closer to "le luhk" than "le loo" or "le look" as is pronounced in this video.

For me Simtek, Super Aguri, Arrows, and Andrea Moda are the ones i remembered the most.

those Orange Arrows are 🧡🧡🧡

I’m struggling to pick a favourite from these. Love rubbish F1 teams

I wasn’t emotionally prepared to hear the statement “in the last forty years so we’re excluding 1980”

I miss the idea of a chassis maker putting something together.. put an engine in the back and go racing. Much more interesting than now a days.

They built Monteverdi F1 650 sports car from the surplussed F1 car parts of Onyx/Monterverdi team.

There was also the Lola team.

That first ags livery is gorgeous

I own a Silicon Graphics Octane machine that came from Arrows F1. Unfortunately there was nothing interesting on the hard drive, but still, some vaguely related history

Onyx / Monteverdi being my favorite

An interesting fact about Simtek: The company didn't only produce the S921 for Andrea Moda, but had also built a mule version of the S931 in 1993 for the stillborn Bravo F1 team, via influences of some BMW workers. Though very little is known about the Spanish entrant even to this day.

Maybe you could mention? how many cars entered races and how many finished, when you refer to placement at the end of the race. Then I could know whether the car performed well, when it placed well. Thanks.

I didn't follow F1 closely when I was younger....however I remember being a fan of the Lotus team when Kimi Raikkonen drove for them.

Please scale down the number of mid-role-ads......your Videos are great btw

Saw this appear in my feed and tfirst though was "Oh god, which team has gone under?"

As pointed out on an Indycar broadcast, AGS actually used to remove the rev counter from their cars because....I dunno why. It was mentioned by the US TV crews when discussing the amount of workload the Indycar drivers were going through and how AGS went totally the opposite way Also, Andrea Moda showed up in Indycar in 1993 getting a top 5 in a wild Detroit race, the same one Mansell crashed out of thanks to an errant safety truck

I only witness Arrows (2002) Super Aguri (2008 I think) and Force India.(2018)

Team Lola is a interesting Storry as well

i was expecting a video that shows 10 big teams that somehow mid season lost the hopes for the title.

They forgot about Pacific GP a team that ran in 1994. There has never been livery that was as 90's as that car.

Uh... How about USF1? - Didn't even make it to the point of building an entire chassis.

Waiting for the top 10 top 10 videos.

I was always a fan of the underdog so I followed Minardi and I'm surprised they're not in this list

4:15 Just a minor correction, Onyx was not founded by Jean Pierre van Rossem, it was founded by Mike Ealre and Greg Field, van Rossem was only the majority owner of the team before the 1989 season. But he was the stain, that led to the demise of Onyx.

0.28: Last Forti years... I see what you did there!

I wonder what's this music the one that comes on when they mention Arrows

Unfortunately it appears that new teams coming into F1 do it with blinkers on, they underestimate the costs, they lack real sponsorship and the enormous experience that is needed just to put a car on the track in a position where it can perform well enough to get big money rewards from F1 incorporated, the backers of these new team quickly find that their deep pockets aren’t deep enough and don’t or can’t provide the huge amounts needed to run a team, let alone a successful team. I would imagine that the F1 owners make new teams jump huge numbers of hoops before they can even get a car, or two, into the pits, and I have to wonder if that includes delving into teams financial situation, if not then they should, it might save their embarrassment when a team collapses and the team backers/sponsors a lot of money. Thanks for sharing this excellent and entertaining episode, just feel sorry for these failed teams and their dreams of F1 success. Thanks again 😀👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Watching this after Racing Point won a race, amazing

Can one day you talk about the copersucar fittipaldi f1 brazilian team please

At the 2006 U.S. Grand Prix me (thanks for the free tickets F1) and a buddy were across from the Super Aguri garage during practice and we could see this well-dress Asian woman stalking around as though she owned the place; I'm presuming that was Mrs. Aguri.

Another team that was a flop in the end was the Eurobrun team. They only lasted a couple of years before closing at the end of 1989.

I do miss the old teams Brabham, Lotus, Tyrrell, (I know it went on to become BAR/Honda/Brawn/Mercedes later, but its not the same) even Arrows and Ligier.

It feels weird that 1980 was 40 years ago

I think Life and Mastercard Lola are interesting stories, even though they never technically took part in a Grand Prix.

Manor racing and Rio Haryanto :(

Caterham as well, the story of those 3 teams is good

A Lola missing downforce... where have I heard this before

Remember when every guy who had a dream, a bit of cash and a half-raceable car could make it into the entry list? Good times. Now after every season the cars are deemed useless and left gathering dust somewhere. How awesome would it be for a team to buy a previous year Sauber or something, put a damn engine at the back and try to qualify. We need customers cars. Create a tier 2 championship for teams that are not constructors, I don't care. Everyone who has a car that passes the crash test and can get into the 107% in qualifying, should be able to race. I don't like this current Ivy League in Grand Prix racing.

3:00 Wow, that dude looks just like Zak Brown

I always remember the Life F1 team, disastrously hilarious and didn’t even make the last two GPs of 1990 after not making it out of pre-qualifying EVER 😂

The last time I was this early, Super Aguri still existed

Caterham. I always liked them for some reason.

Where is MasterCard Lola ?

Van Rossem didn't found Onyx, he bought the shares from Paul Shakespeare who had previously bought the team from Mike Earl and Greg Field.

I definitely watched F1 in 2006 yet I don’t recall seeing a Midland F1 car at any point, other than in the ps2 game

You forgot to mention that the main reason why Forti shut down was since Shannon failed to give his part of the deal This is the contract I heard was signed “Within Seven days, Shannon must give funds to Forti” although I can’t remember it. Then they went to court and well Shannon won the case because there “Wasn’t anything to fight over”

Don’t forget about the Life team, failing to qualify for 14 races in 1990 with Bruno Giacomelli and Gary Brabham.

Andrea Moda was also a Forti Corsa sponsor

Andrea Moda is probably the centerpiece of the F1 Hall of Shame.

I cringed so hard at that joke. 0:27

Simtek was an unfortunate team, and Super Aguri was screwed by SS united company and Honda.

People have become fascinated with the alsorans of 1990’s F1.

Mastercard Lola as there was rushed in to f1 a year earlier then planned by Mastercard if I remember rightly

Well, funny that this video was on my front page on the day newey is speculated to leave red bull

Does Mastercard Lola constitute a mid season collapse since it never started a race......

Simtek had one of the most unique liveries in history, what a shame

we need some more Forti Fords back again to add some entertainment to the 2024 season. it's all too smooth these days

Calling Moneytron from the Onyx team an "investment firm" is giving them too much credibility. Moneytron was the name of a supposed machine/computer Van Rossem had created (and which he always kept behind closed doors of course) that could theoretically read the tendencies of the financial market and automatically invest the money of their clients to maximize profit. One of the best and dumbest scams to ignorant rich people i have ever seen

what about manor in 2017 and caterham in 2014?

I Think the best failure in F1 is still Life Racing Engines.. Although Mastercard Lola was obscenely pathetic! Both deserve their own videos. Life Racing Engines holds the record for the slowest Qualifying lap in history compared to the fastest time.. :D

There are two teams that come to my mind that also vanished during a season (though the second would be very debatable): Euro-Brun was a backmarker team that had some notable results in 1990 (notable for a backmarker team) but didn't took part in the last two races of that season and they never came back. And then there is the March/Leytonhouse team a once reputable team going slowly down the drain (Adrian Newey started his Designer career there). They were nearly dead at the end of 1992 but tried to race in the first race of 1993. They didn't race and the next race they were gone. Not really Midseason I know.

For some reason, I always thought it was a real shame that Simtek didn't have success in F1.

Life and Lola-Mastercard

5:09 *Exhales* mafia

heres a tip: quit talking so close to the mic so you get rid of the loud voice pops

senna car use to be sponsor by the manga magazine shonen jump

What about Tyrell, Larrouse and Ligier?
