How eddstrawdinary

By far the weirdest has to be Canada 1973. The first time a Safety Car was deployed in the history of the sport, led to chaos on the lap charts. The driver of the Safety Car waved drivers past, one after the other, until they picked up Howden Ganley. Ganley definitely wasn't leading, but nobody could agree who was. When the chequered flag was waved, nobody knew who won, due to the scoring error (there was no electronic timing in 1973). It wasn't until each team sent each of their own lap charts to the organisers, attempting to untangle the mess, that a result was declared. Peter Revson was declared the winner (the last born and bred American driver to win in F1, Mario Andretti was born in Italy), outgoing world champion Emerson Fittipaldi was declared second (despite Colin Chapman believing his star driver had won) & Jackie Oliver was third. However, due to the scoring error, who knows for sure who actually won, since they were originally going to give the win to Ganley?

Japan 2019 was pretty weird, given that the chequered flag went out a lap early before Sergio Perez and Pierre Gasly had a crash that put Checo in the barrier, then made even weirder by Leclerc getting a post-race penalty, then made even more weird by Renault having both disqualified and (in one side effect) making the Leclerc penalty irrelevant

Ferrari were masterminds when it came to strategy during the Schumacher-Todt years. That race in Silverstone was some 5000 IQ move.

Max verstappen didn't stop out of precaution on 2020 British GP, he was seeking the extra point for fastest lap

It's not an odd finish, but Suzuka 2000, and what must of been tens of thousands of airhorns blowing as Schumi crossed the line, the sound drowning out even the screech of the V10s, never fails to give me goosebumps. Easily my favorite.

the 2002 US Gran Prix is in my eyes always gonna be Schumacher repaying a win he felt his team mate deserved. This may not be backed up by much, except the podium performance in the race earlier on, where Schumacher didn't want to take the top spot originally. And the interview after the race he also said he didn't feel he deserved or needed that win.

Surprised not to see a race that was won on an aggregate time such as Damon Hill at Suzuka in the 90s

To be fair, Juan Manuel Fangio waved the chequered flag wrongly in a 70s Argentine Grand Prix. I can't quite remember the exact year.

Maybe not so dramatic as some as the ones in the video, but I remember the 2001 Spanish GP one of the most unusual finishes I ever saw, when Mika Hakkinen's engine blew in the final lap and Michael Schumacher won strugling with his Ferrari in his last stint. Also worth mentioning Piquet's victory in 1991 Canadian GP.

Maybe not one of the weirdest finishes, but definitely one of the weirdest starts - 2005 US Grand Prix in Indianapolis. Only 6 started due to Michelin withdrawing all the cars that used their tyres.

I think you forgot adding in the 2003 Brazilian GP that Alonso, despite the huge crash, finished third

US GP 1959 Jack Brabham pushing his Cooper-Climax over the finish line right after he had won the world championship because Bruce McLaren and not title rival Tony Brooks won the race.

What about Spain in 2000 (or 2001) when Hakkinen broke down on the last lap with a few corners to go.

A sad day today. My man Kimi is retiring at the end of the season 💔

I can see 8 years from now, when this video is remade, you'll be referring to three times champion George Russel coming second to three times champion Max Verstappen, with the two times reigning champion Lando Norris crashing out in Q3 possibly costing him his first race win.

You forgot the Monaco rain race in 1996 which Panis won. Still the race with the fewest cars finishing a race. Boy was that fun to watch.

Edd asked what our favourite finish is.....certainly not Spa 2021!!!!

Monaco 1984 and reg flag waved by Jacky Ickx. He was racing with Porsche in WSC and wanted Prost to win. McLaren had TAG Porsche engine back then. Senna and Bellof were closer and closer to Prost. Race was red flagged and Prost won.

0:01 So you're telling me that Lewis Hamilton has won 10% of all Formula 1 races ever? That's unbelievable.

9:50: MV: "... but at the end of the day, it's not my problem." loloolol

schumacher should have been hailed for trying to race, and not penalised for of no wrong doing.

Alex Wurz was asked by Michael after Silverstone in 98 if he saw the yellow flags and he hadn't seen them either because of the rain. Of course now we have lights to tell the drivers but back then we didn't

The weirdest HAS to be when Micheal won in pit lane.😂😂😂 & Weirdest Start is 100% when Lewis started alone on the grid dropped to last & went on to finish 2nd/3rd[ontrack] Even while overtaking WIDEST F1 car in the history of F1😂. What a legend 🙌

Honorable mention to Malaysia 2017 when the camera cut to Vettel driving a three wheeled Ferrari car just after the race ended

Can you do a top ten weirdest emails sent to race directors?

Great list, but forgot the Senna's first Monaco GP that Balestri finished the race earlier to not give him a chance to pass Prost

Could someone please tell me the name of the background music in the beginning ? Love it ! ❤️

I'm surprised there isn't a 2008 Brazilian GP, overtaking a broken down car a few hundred yards before the finish line to clinch the title is certainly an odd one-off event

Can you do a video on the McLaren which crashed in the wind tunnel in the early 80s

can you also make the weirdest finishes to an Formula 1 driver career?

i knew the 1993 Italian GP would be there, i will never forget the car backflipping and skating across the line.

The 2021 Belgian Grand Peix was not a race… Still outraged about this

Regarding the 2021 Belgian GP, that was absolute shambles. I think there were better ways to handle that. Also, I think the FIA should have taken the best of the conditions and raced under them. As evidenced by monaco 2022, waiting for the rain to stop and the clear skies to appear will create major backlash. Also, in fighting does not help.

The 1985 San Marino GP was still the weirdest one.

Massa driving around for 30 seconds in front of his home fans parading as world champion 🤣 you did say "race finishes" and not race wins

I am surprised they didn't do the other Indy USGP....you know....where there was only 6 finishers and only one driver celebrated on the podium and the fans basically booed the whole time. The 2005 USGP. But I guess they decided to only cover one race that is considered sham by the fans.

Ha. Perfect timing. There will be some C-14th tyre-caused crashes. Thursday. 2nd Sept. Signing out.

newest addition: 2021 Abu Dhabi GP

Spa 2021 did start. And finished… there was nothing in the middle though. Lol.

Luca baaaadoweer, what's he doing 😄

2021 Belgian Grand Prix: hold my beer.

2007 season went down to last race with 1 point between first, second/third in drivers championship. Raik, Lewis, Alonso. 2008 season went down to the last lap on last race where Lewis won by 1 point over Massa due to wet weather tyres vs slicks.

As a dutchie I ofc like the finish of the 94 hungarian gp; Schumi lets Jos by to unlap himself in the last laps, and when Brundle's McLaren broke down that handed third place to Jos.

2005 US Grand Prix was a weird start and weird finish could have added that one

My favorite Finnish is obviously Kimi

What about the 6 car start with problem with Michelin tyres.

Many mistakes by cough cough the officials mainly not knowing there own rules

at least one third of every list is Schumi

Did Brazilians see massa as the next senna or piquet before 2007 🤔

Seen this before, with moving pictures...

You missed maybe Monte Carlo '96. if I remember the year correctly...

Where is Schumachers win in the pit lane?

is that glock?!

Anyone else get Indy 2005 podium vibes at Spa?

My favorite Finnish is Kimi. But Bottas is good too.

Guys, very cool video, but the Belgian Grand Prix 2021 should not be in there, since the race never happen!

Brazil 2008, the last corner championship? Australia 2009, the safety car debut victory?

My fav finnish is kimi

Before this video, I would have said that Michael cheated in 1998 since technically he finished before serving his penalty. But now I understand that the Stewarts f-d up in every way they could- not telling the team (like how you fail to tell a team about penalty FOR 25+ MINUTES), confusion about the penalty itself (was it stop-and-go or post-race time penalty). Michael won that fair and square.

Favourite Finnish has to be Mika Häkkinen. Or maybe Poronkäristys.

I don't get why they didn't move Spa to a different weekend

Mentioning Gary Anderson made me think, where is he? I swear we haven’t seen him on anything for a while including this channel

I like the f1 2020 British grand prix

That thing from Vettel in Canada, moving the signs for 1st and 2nd.. he didn’t actually park his car in that spot, so he didn’t place the 1 in front of his own car. Quite recent, The Race, so a bit sloppy to present it as if he did.

2008. Last race of the year

Monaco 96......and Abu Dhabi 2021, but I guess you couldn't read into the future....

Didn't Fangio finish a race with just 3 wheels?

This aged well, you might wanna make an updated list🤔

Never speak of spa 21

Spa 2021 lol

I never knew Schumacher’s 98 penalty was invalid. Nice

I think race control should've just cancelled the Belgian GP 2021. It was a waste of time. I had never been more pissed about an F1 race since Canada 08' when Lewis Hamilton took out Kimi Räikkönen in the pit lane.

Think this may need updating😅

Linguine or tagliatelle

all im hearing are problems form the stewards

What about the Azerbaijani Grand Prix 2021

Michael was robbed in 2010 of that pass on Alonso. It was a brilliant piece of opportunism and him and the team had every right to assume the race was back on with green lights being flashed. Absolutely shambolic from the Stuarts on the day to punish him.

82 monaco

Abu Dhabi 2021!!! What a race and season finish💪🏻👊🏻

It could be a much better video with original videos than pics

These videos are hampered by lack of rights to the footage.. Work better in audio form IMHO

58 seconds in and already misinformed. Verstappen didn't pit on a precautionary stop, but to snatch the fastest lap away following Bottas' tire failure.

Schumacher!! 2010 Monaco GP was move by the Michael was fine. Damon was not having 20 Secs is a Yoke. But I know why.

Hamilton should’ve gotten a penalty for passing the pit entrance with an unsafe car in 2020. He was shedding carbon fiber everywhere.

look at you guys trying to spin last weekends "GP" into something semi positive 😉

Hamilton shouldve pulled a Schumacher and won from the pits :V

What about weird starts

will never like Winnie Halrow, not coz of the flag issue, but she openly admited on the grid interview that she isn't a fan of F1 and was just there to be seen c/o Tommy Hilfiger sponsors

Some neither start nor finish ...

There can't be a finish if there was no start you trolls !

Hi

You was never taken into consideration Hamilton never had a bad car Schumacher went to a shit team and brought it straight to the top touch what make him king

Favorite Finnish, easily Kimi

Yall forgot to mention who was in the stewards in the 2010 monaco GP lol

I think kimis "retirement" is a PR exercise to save face. I love him, but hasn't justified a new contract

As far as weird goes how about having the cars parade around following the safety car in an idiotic game of Simon Says for 2 whole laps and calling it a race. It shows just how good Schumacher was. He let his teammate win by only 11 thousandths of a second.

Needs video. Not stills..

9:35 oh man I remember the insane amount of hate she got at the time, and even then I was confused. Why did people assume she was ever going to wave the flag on her own? She was of course directed to wave it, it was obviously not her decision.

First!
