You could argue Brazil's F1 luck has dropped after Ayrton Senna...

the way both riciardo and webber were placed in a very powerful redbull car, but both just happened to be in that car in a season where they would be overshadowed by someone who was unrivaled in talent, and who had just arrived in the sport is kind of an interesting parallel

In year 1980, Australian driver Alan Jones won his sole title against some of the hardest competition in F1 history. Four decades later, Satan is still claiming his part of the deal. But that's just my theory.

You think Australia has had it bad in terms of drivers? Think about Italy, lol. Almost 70 years without a drivers' championship in spite of the litany of grand prix drivers it has given the world. Also, being a Tifoso when it's not the early 2000s is pain.

8:25 "the 2010 season was fairly good for webber" BRO IT WAS HIS BEST EVER SEASON AND MY MAN SAYS IT WAS FAIRLY GOOD FOR HIM 💀

I feel like people often forget Jack Brabham

Australia absolutely dominates on two wheels... Especially in the Motocross, enduro and freestyle Motocross scenes. Per head of population, no country delivers the same number of race wins and championships.

That feeling when: FOM claims all of your videos and you as a young and up and coming motivated creator have to stress out and worry so much about what footage you use, you just default to using F1 video game footage. Man I feel you dude, but don’t get discouraged, you are doing a great job. Ask Josh Revell about some tips. (I know I know a lot of people are toxic because: “oH yOu TrY tO Be toO mUch LiKE aNoThEr cReaTor, hur dur!”) Don’t pay attention to them. Just, make vids that make you happy and proud, cause your real fans are proud of you. I know I am. Good job kid.

Halve the wheels and we go pretty hard. Bayliss, McCoy, Doohan, Stoner, Beattie, Gardner. It is pretty dismal we cant convert that to four. Hopefully Piastri to Williams to get his foot in the door for a better team

Are you serious mate?? Mark Webber had a good run for the F1 title in 2010. It was mostly between Alonso and home for the last race, but Vettel snatch the championship. So that year he was not in the shadow of Vettel. But after that, yes. Otherwise, good video.

Mark Webber could have become an f1 world champion. He’s one of my favourite drivers.

Well even outside formula 1... Will Power, veteran from Indycar, a damn fast driver but unlucky as hell, I only started to watch indycar last season but I could see numerous time he lost wins or good finishing positions due to mishaps out of his control, like when his car overheated in a red flag near the end of the race, costing him a win, being crashed by eager rookies... And then was a big crash some seasonsago that killed a driver and nearly killed him too

5:17 "Dominating the last three years of his career in a way we haven't really seen since Lewis Hamilton" George Russell: Am I a joke to you

Ricciardo choosing to leave a great team and join a failing one has nothing to do with luck, though. Danny Ric is gifted with short sight, it may have done his career with.

For a relatively small country like Australia, 2 world champion and one world champion F1 Team, I would say that's very good. Now let's look at Italy and, most of all, France...

"So, not a nonce" was the best line in this video

If mercedes didnt nail the turbo hybrid era so well, daniel would be a 2x world champion. He finished third behind nico and lewis in 2014 and 2016.

Alan jones back in the day was a weopon and won the 1980 title first for Williams

I love how, out of all the cities from Australia, you put a picture of Perth... That's awesome!

If you want to look at it this way you could argue that Germany had not the best luck either, ofc there are Michael and Seb that overshadow all the drivers that weren’t so lucky but you have to imagine that those two were the first two german drivers to become champion. And keep in mind Germany‘s big culture for car‘s as the biggest car manufacturers come from there and at one point there were 6 or 7 german drivers on the grid and we still only had three different german champions

1:35 Unfortunately for Daniel... popularity doesn't win races... And Lando seems to be quite popular himself with far better race results

i mean at the last round in 2010 Webber was favored to win over vettel and both were behind alonso. poor guy just lost out on strategy.

Webber had his chance to become WC in 2010 but binned it in Korea. Danny Ric could’ve been WC if he stayed at Redbull, but left instead. Oscar? I guess will find out.

Sainz was more loved at mclaren by fans than ric, not the other way around.

Well, this Video aged well

Piastri’s other f3 contenders were Logan sergeant and Theo pourchaire

Isnt piastri all but confirmed for williams seat?

"He will win a F1 world title" With George, Leclerc, Lando and especially Max. That'll be incredibly tough 😅

Nah but danny ric could win a championship if he stayed with redbull cuz the first season with redbull he got 3rd in the championship and that’s not something to forget

For a country that has less citizens than some cities, they actually have been surprisingly successful.

Australia also had Dave Walker who is considered one of F1’s worst drivers because he drove for Lotus alongside Emerson Fittipaldi and while Emmo went on and won the world championship Dave didn’t score a single point for the team.

great video dude!

Also FIA being paid to move the Aus GP to a shit track in '96 instead of Adelaide Street Circuit where racing wasn't awful

I feel some people don't mention Jack Doohan, in F2 he is doing pretty well for himself

Piastri's gonna be world champion and i guarantee it

"if you disagree with me, then you're wro-"

unfortunately this is true the luck is terrible

FFS It is PRAWN NOT SHRIMP!!! "Shrimp on the barbie" Is a vile sentence

That's also notwithstanding the bevy of talented junior drivers who couldn't overcome the massive financial roadblock of travelling to the other side of the world to race (James Courtney, Craig Lowndes, Simon Wills, just to name a couple)

Enjoyed it bro

Mentioning jack brabhams son but not the man himself is kinda weird, since brabham won 3 f1 championships. I guess formula one began in 2010 for a lot of people…

This did not age well. (The Piastri piece)

We don't call them shrimps! We call them prawns!

Some news has been spreading about piastri going to Williams

Sir John Arthur Brabham AO OBE was an Australian racing driver who was Formula One World Champion in 1959, 1960, and 1966.

You can also say Polands luck with Kubica

You forgot that Webber also made a backflip with a Mercedes CLR.

7:00 The highest attended Grand Prix in Australia is actually the 1995 Grand Prix in Adelaide with an estimated 520,000 in attendance and only across 3 days (current Aus GP has 4 days of events) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Grand_Prix#Spectator_attendance_since_1995

They will officially announce Piastri at Williams soon .

At least they still have someone to cheer on in f1🇧🇷

i am from austrilia and no one says shrip we say prawns

subtle, but I appreciate the pride subscribe graphic at the end

not unlucky if you compare to other nations my example will be Sweden imagine the 1978 you have two f1 drivers both are superstars for Lotus one has cancer and can't drive the other one is faster than his teammate and even his teammate admitted that he was faster and he didn't get to pass him because of his contract. Monza 78 he got in to a first lap crash and with no medical car behind the drivers like James Hunt pulled him out with totally crushed legs it takes more than a minute for medical professionals. he gets flown to Milano where it takes time because they don't know what to do meanwhile the hospital is unsanitary with cigarette's on the floor and under the night he died because of kidney failure, later the other one dies both within 2months. 1985 Johansson for Ferrari you lead in imola 3laps left you run out of fuel.

It's gonna be Ricciardo that moves. It has to be. I'm sure he'll get a drive... somewhere, either at Williams, or Aston Martin, but this is the end of his career as a serious competitor. Last year's win was a fluke, every single race except that one was... not amazing. He was decent in Renault for a bit, but they couldn't give him the car. Now, he also doesn't have a good car, but he's also massively overshadowed by Norris. Ricciardo is not the future anymore, Norris is. Him, Russell, Verstappen, Leclerc, Piastri. Ricciardo's time has passed. There's gonna be some interesting comparisons to Webber and his story. Red Bull, overshadowed by a young talent, etc...

“Really well attended” it was the largest crowd they’ve had. 420k

I mean no offense, but Mark Webber was never at a championship level. He used to be a good number 1, but not great (didn't have the speed most top drivers show) but he was an excellent number 2 driver. Ricciardo? He had a brief window, but after that he fell off because honestly his mentality isn't up there with Hamilton and the reality is he doesn't know how to make decisions when picking teams. But it's funny because both Ricciardo and Piastri will be in an era of F1 that is closing out and that's when pure talent could get you a seat. Given the corporate level and the prize money... pay drivers are mostly the only drivers that make it. It's not just about owning a team or paying a big cheque/sponsorship for your kid to make it (cough Latifi cough), it's having the money to move up the ranks or even make a drive at any level feasible. Look at Lando or George Russell, their parents are very wealthy. They're not Billionaires that have to buy teams to guarantee seats... but they're drivers with talent who had every opportunity at their feet given their parents wealth. Ricciardo had good upbringings, but were not part of that tax bracket. It's why it's truly wild and impressive what Hamilton has achieved given his background.

This year's Aus GP was Melbourne's highest attended weekend. The Aus GP highest attended weekend goes to Adelaide's last GP in 1995 with 520 000 people

Looking forward to seeing how Piastri fares against Albon next season. Hope Williams improve somewhat so they can both be competitive.

James Courtney should be on here after he crashed a test f1 car and had to be pulled out if the wreck by micheal Schumacher before his career even started.

pretty much Australian's f1 lucks taken by Sir Jack Brabham and Alan Jones;)

I support this thank you John

As an Australian, this does cut deep.. even Webber always had bad luck.. all could be champions if luck goes their way..

Well specifically single seaters but the whole oceanic scene is incredible in endurance and GT which is growing quickly and controversially better than F1 at the moment in terms of racing, the grid, the variety of cars, the tracks, the way race control is operated. It's just F1 where aussies and kiwis are unlucky.

I dont think that Australia is really unlucky in F1 thorughout the history. Australia has only a population of 26 million and no really strong domestic car industry. Yet still the country got 4 drivers titles and 43 GP wins (same amount as a country like Italy). Which makes them the 6th succesful country in F1 history, only beeing bested by bigger countries and Finland. So i would say Australia is overperforming consindering their "ressources". Also Webber was not really unlucky, he was just beaten by a better teammate. Piastri cant be yet called unlucky, since his career is just about to start. So there is only Ricciardo left. And yeah, he got kind of unlucky with his timing to join and leave Red Bull and in general his team choices/options. Those honorable mentions were just not really good drivers, they werent unlucky. They were just bad. So overall, i dont think its as bad as the video suggest it to be. 😘

as an australian my self (i come from perth) this is true

Webber would have beaten any other teammate? Alonso? Hamilton? Rosberg? Raikkonen? Button? Bit of revisionist history for me

I think Belgium needs a little bit of luck too, Vandoorne didn't perform well and Max chose to be Dutch instead of Belgian

Or piastry replaces Latifi. Mate they got a race and had multiple drivers in sport. That is way more than most country have.

Ricciardo kinda did this to himself, he faced a terrible Renault engine then Red Bull changed to Honda(that gave them a championship) so he fled to Renault to face more engine problems so he fled to mclaren where he hoped that he’d be the better driver and so far that is not the case with poor performance after another so I will be surprised if he resigns with Mclaren but I see him going to a Aston Martin or Williams I think his shot at drive for a championship aspiring team is over

We do not put “shrimps on the barbie”

Daniel should go to alphatauri and gasly to McLaren👍

I must mention. You mention luck yes. So the point skew is heavily favoured to lando. 50-15 but Jeddah he was faster and infront and had an engine issue same as Spain and screwed by strategy in Canada. Plus the damage under the car after the lap 1 incident with Carlos which just basically ruled Daniel out of coming back. Like been a few small things at the worst of times that makes it look worse than it really is currently.

What about all the v8 supercars drivers I think u forgot about them

7 time world champion Lewis Hamilton is Brazilian

It's not bad luck where he is, more bad decisions.

wasn't it Webber who had to finish a race after puking in his helmet... Poor bastard

Piastri might replace latifi but that’s just rumors

2:27 is that riccardo moving twice while defending

If RB had the fastest car in 2014, Seb would be the world champion. Seb just didn't want to driver the car RB had in 2014. Simply because he knew he couldn't win the title with it.

Shrimp on the Barbie!!!! We call it prawns!!!!

I'll tell you who doesn't have any luck problems in F1: The people of Melbourne. Did you hear about that THIRTEEN-YEAR extension for Albert Park? Kinda nuts that they'd commit to a non-icon track for so long

Come on, Webber would maybe took 1 WDC not four, out of those 4 years, 2 WDC would probably been taken by Alonso.

Australia has more F1 driver championships than Spain Italy Netherlands United State Japan Canada and as many as France Finland and Austria. The only countries with more are the Uk Germany Argentina and Brazil.

Riccardo has nobody but himself to blame. He shouldn't have left Renault.

I think Canada or Brazil are a close second

Look like you did make the video before alpine announced that Piastri would run with Williams next year

a Sainz Riccardo switch?? what do you think 🤔

I think Williams are taking Latifi this year and according to reports Oscar is their viable choice

Canada could be the dawn of false talents/break throughs Villeneuve after winning 97 didn’t do much and looked very less talented Lance stroll gets the youngest podium sitter and front row in 2017 dosent do much till 2020 and in that years stays 4th in the standings till majello and then doesnt show enough consistency to look as good as the first 3/4 of 2020 Latifi would have finished ahead of George in 2020 due to having more p11 but George gets his merc chance 2021 gets points before George and should have finished closer to him but Belgium happened then just struggles to look as good as those points break though It’s tough being a Canadian and a fan of Canadians where they always look like there going to break though and change the game/there image then become a sort of meme in f1

Can we finally face the fact that Danny ric was carried to 8 of his 9 wins by a the red bull and the other was shear luck, the red bull carried him and without he’s just some bang average smiley driver, can we all admit that now, I tryed to tell you all when he left for Renault but no one would listen, the man is WASHED

You forgot Larry Perkins

the city at the start is the city that i live in

Indonesia's luck for F1 is non-existant for now though

Would much rather see Piastri in Formula 1 than Alonso. As good as he's been over his career, it's about time he stepped aside as he's clearly not getting title number 3.

The only seasons that Ricciardo outperformed his teammate was 2014 and 2015. He got beaten by max and now by lando consistently. He has always been a very good driver but not absolute peak greatness. He's a great character but there are def better drivers than him on the grid.

great vid but as someone listing on speakers please get a pop filter for your mic

Piastri to Williams rumours

New Zealand f1 luck is even worse

Brendon Hartley.

Danny Ric is not worth that much money! The cheek of him asking that much. He is a race winner, and not the world championship material that some fans believe him to be. McClaren need that money! I would say India has had far worse luck compared to Oz 😅
