Truly one of the most bizarre ways to win a championship

@@RandomGuy37 Similar to how Makinen was going to go home after he thought Sainz would easily win the title, but then a friend came on the phone saying the Toyota Corolla Sainz was driving had blown up. Makinen thought the friend was kidding him, but then some reporters started telling him as well and he realised it was true. Probably the most dramatic title deciders in motorsports. The WRC equivalent of Man City vs QPR.

@@potatogirlcultist19 one in a million of a corolla blowing up he was unlucky

And the most DC way to lose a championship

😂😂😂

Wait what?

Lost it to our first posthumous champion, Rest in Power Wolfgang von Trips

​@@ri0916That has to be the coolest name for an f1 driver

61 is an interesting year, in this version Hill gets more points over the season but bc of the pick the best 5 out of the 8 races, Von Trips gets the title And we get the controversy way earlier than in reality

Honestly fairly well deserved seeing as he wasn't particularly impressive in any of the other seasons

I wanna live in this universe!

Hulk still gets his podium curse, winning with the lowest ever podium rate for a champion

just Felipe baby things.

tbh I was thinking about this 2 years ago can massa win a cahmpionship ?yeaa

@@o.faruksavaf he is legit Champions of 2008 I Hope justice will be made and he can get credit as he should

@@russonauta totally agree ,I want a Ferrari champion in the year I was born also he is King of Istanbulpark (home city)

As both Sainz and Leclerc already won their championships, the only race that Ferrari has entered so far was the Saudi Arabia GP with Ollie

​@@dudagladuosinteresting decision from Ferrari to enter their only race of the season with an academy driver halfway through a weekend

@@robertlatta2019 Crazy how good a car they built for not entering a race in several years!

Yeah, doing a google sheet of this season without world champions and the fact that the Alpine cars are in the podium.

I'm guessing Piastri will win the 2024 season. I'm also surprised Kubica didn't win a championship.

​@@CrusardModding he did in the alternative 2008 season

@@matteo_lll_di_sveviadid you watch the video? No he didn’t

@@CrusardModdingI think stroll would win the 2025 championship assuming that drivers like Lawson, Bearman and Antonelli would be placed in backmarker teams Edit:either way he might be considered one of the greatest to never win a championship(TBF in this world he’s gonna have a lot of wins)

@@matteo_lll_di_sveviamate watch the video 😂😂

F1 is all about the stories, it's what makes the sport magical. And so it was only right to look into the numbers and figure out the new stories

And even in this universe Hülkenberg has a very bad podium rate

Because he's an extremely consistent driver and has been pretty much since before he was 20. In 2017, whenever he finished a race without severe mitigating circumstances (strategy at Monaco and Massa terrorism at Monza), he never finished behind a slower or equal car. In 2018, whenever he finished a race without a skill issue (Australia spin, China crash, and Monaco FP3 crash), he never finished behind a slower or equal car. [This is the only time I have to exclude skill issues - the six race stretch to start the season is almost inarguably his worst stretch of races in his career, especially when considering races he finished. Hilariously, in this alternate timeline, he wins three of the four races he finished during that stretch, only finishing behind Ocon and Gasly at Monaco.] In 2019 and 2020, whenever he finished a race without severe mitigating circumstances (Vettel terrorism at Silverstone 2019, engine penalty and Perez terrorism at Monza 2019, Bottas terrorism at Mexico 2019, and an asymmetrical front wing at Turkey 2020), he never finished behind a slower or equal car. In 2021, he finished a race without severe mitigating circumstances (Bottas terrorism in Hungary) behind an equal car once (Hamilton at Bahrain) and behind a slower car zero times. In 2022, whenever he finished a race without severe mitigating circumstances (Perez Q3 red flag at Monaco, blocked Venturi tunnel at Silverstone, qualifying strategy blunder at Singapore, setup issues at Brazil), he won. In 2023, he finished a race without severe mitigating circumstances (Q2 engine failure at Jeddah and setup issues at Singapore) behind another car once (Perez at Baku). So far in 2024, whenever he's finished a race, he's won.

3. Podium percentage

I am very curious who that is

Max. At least that is what it said at the end

@@MrRono19 you read that wrong.

1. Fewest seasons would be 1. This puts Stewart, Regazzoni, Villeneuve, and Hamilton tied 2. Win percentage for rookie winners.. CR was 75%, JV was 68%, LH was 52%, and JS was 40% Don't forget that Clay Regazzoni also won F2 the same season he won F1 and only drove in 8/15 F1 races that year. Surely he has to be the GOAT

It's actually way funnier (and way worse) than real life - the safety car mistakenly picks up the nearly lapped Lando Norris, putting Sainz nearly a whole lap ahead of Lando (as well as Esteban Ocon), and the race director fails to wave the two cars through, which would be the standard procedure. Only after fierce lobbying from McLaren team principal Zak Brown did the race director finally order the safety car to give Norris and Ocon the wave through - but with only two laps until the checkered flag, and the fast pace of the safety car, Norris and Ocon were utterly unable to catch back up to the queue, with Norris finishing 55 seconds behind Sainz, never having an opportunity to attack for the win and the championship.

I only added the ones who died in F1 events/testing specifically but yes, there's lots 😔

it's RPM actually

Yes RPM is the GOAT

All it took was a chance to the space-time continuum and Hülkenberg finally got his podium

​@@MrVsGarageyou a doctor who fan?

Very good idea, looks like I'm busting out a new excel sheet! Don't expect any videos from me on the subject like this one though. I can't edit

but it would just become the new f1. It would be the same as only F2 champions can drive in F1.

I was thinking about it but I believe it would turn to be the new F1 Championship. Unless there was a twist like equal machinery for all drivers, less races, also the need for elimination because, remember, there would be a new retiring champion every year! In general it would be suitable as a ceremonial championship and not a really competitive one

@@panossavvaidis6086 OH THAT is great idea

Makes a point that maybe only drivers who have won F2 should be allowed to compete and they are then guaranteed a seat, by enforcing a rule that the driver who's been in F1 the longest must retire to make way.

@@samueldorrington8990 this rule would not apply to Alonso

It's funny - in a universe where Phil Hill probably *wouldn't* be the worst driver to become champion, he doesn't become champion.

Agree 👍🏻 Vamos Checo 🇲🇽

Also It’s amazing to see Lando,Alex,Carlos,George and Charles Winning a title

Hope in real life,we will see a championship fight

what 2017/18 Renault engine does to a mf

Brundle was a good driver but he spent his whole career in the shadow of greats

I like to think of it this way. They're still on the grid and still get prize money etc. but the championship is more "ceremonial" like a Hall of Fame type thing

Or maybe: former WDC still there without points, but their car still get WCC points, so teams would still want former WDC in their car to score WCC points

@@MrVsGarage That would make sense with things that can't be accounted for - like Felipe Massa wouldn't be able to terrorize Max Verstappen at the 2017 Italian Grand Prix if he was banned, but you obviously can't simulate the race if that hadn't happened, so Massa is still on track and competing just as hard as in our timeline.

Tbh he nearly won in 2016 and so wouldn't have had as many wins. But great driving is great driving and that shows up however you look at it

It's a nice shirt! I wore it to an engagement party a few days after filming 😅

Honestly he was a very good driver at the time, just inconsistent and also not many people liked him which didn't help

Facts, 2015 was basically his only shot at it, and he got it

@@MrVsGarage Plus Ricciardo fell off an absolute cliff after comprehensively outperforming Vettel the year prior.

Mate that's Jos

@@MrVsGarage Ugh had that in my mid but i screwed up HAHA

Spreadsheets are cool

its gonna be a few more before he wins. he's set to take every record max cannot 😅

mate, I've been waiting all week for you specifically to watch the first one so I could drop part 2

Same bruh

haha who would have thought you could make people emotional just by moving some numbers round on a spreadsheet. Glad you enjoyed! :)

Yeah Kubica just can't catch a break 😔

it's interesting, but having only 8 cars in F1 is definitely not good. I like the idea that this is a sort of Hall of Fame championship. The normal championship still happens and everyone is still racing, but there's a second leaderboard just for people who aren't in the Hall of Fame and one new person is added each year like this.

@@MrVsGarage Kind of like the F1.5 championship, which removes the two (or more) teams which are able to compete for podiums.

The only timeline in which he lives and probably becomes champion is the one where Ferrari put him straight in one of their cars after graduating from the academy since Massa and Alonso have retired a long time before

@@claudiomichieletto9874 Eh. He still pushes through the double yellows at Suzuka. The timeline in which he lives is the one where either drivers are held accountable for their own safety, or preemptive measures are taken to save drivers from themselves. (And we even saw at Japan in 2022 that the latter isn't entirely effective, with multiple drivers driving dangerously fast for the conditions under safety car and Gasly even doing so under red flags.)

I agree, or maybe just 1 year away? It would still make the sport super weird and makes you wonder if drivers would intentionally avoid winning the title

thank you! more coming soon

F1 is about opportunity sadly and Kubica was just never given a great one

@@MrVsGarage Yea well, he was given a great opportunity... just... why the rally crash. He could've been a Ferrari driver.

Could still happen IRL 👀

Someone with more time can verify theses, but I think its: Win Percentage - Clay Regazzoni with 75% Podium Percentage - Lewis Hamilton with 82% Points Percentage - Lewis Hamilton with 94% Rookie Winners - Jackie Stewart, Clay Regazzoni, Jaques Villeneuve, Lewis Hamilton

Post your working so far!

Yeah I think it would be much more likely that drivers stay and score Constructors points but just can't score Driver Championship points anymore. It becomes like a "Hall of Fame" thing to add one new person each year

@@MrVsGarage exactly and i figured out that schekter would the championship in 1977 and then be banned for 1979 which gilles Villeneuve won

@@d9zirable file:///C:/Users/callu/Documents/Alternative%20Timeline%201.pdf i think opens up my pdf file

Pretty sure Schumacher just dominates every season he comes back. Prost and Lauda still have quite a few titles. Hamilton has a lot but maybe not as many as Schumacher. Verstappen has just returned looking for #3

I wanted to show that as much as people complain about dominant eras, when you take them away it makes the sport feel... wrong. Also, I think lots of newer fans aren't really aware about the amount of on track fatalities in early F1 and the reasons why the sport needs to be so strict on safety
