The absolute chaos that would ensue from McLaren and Toro Rosso on the podium on only the second race of the year..

"Rumors are circling that Gasly might get the bump up to Red Bull if he continues his performance" got me good

You know, reversing the finishing position for each race could be a fun thing to look at; how early would Williams clinch the reverse title

This is not nonsense, it's quite interesting to be honest

I love Gasley’s story but in reverse😂

Petition to make the final bingo video

Renault use an ilegal brake bias sistem in japan and so the implement it for the rest of the season without penalty

"Ferrari's new recruit Charles Leclerc" - I believe this should instead say "Ferrari's veteran who's starting his final season with the team before departing to Alfa Romeo where he will end his career"

"Red Bull are considering bumping him up to the senior team". The sheer amount of drama this alternate reality avoided is insane.

8:02 Ver currently leading after 4 races in 2021 😳

Another idea: what would´ve happened if all race results would´ve been in reverse order? #KubicaWDC

"Hint: Nonsense" That comment is nonsense, this reverse order was better than the actual season

I love how they switch Alex with Gasly- I don’t know why but it makes me laugh😂

lol the cars slowly losing pace as the year goes on

When is Bingo coming?

I thought he was gonna put the race results in reverse lol

Could we do "If the season points came from qualifying position nonsense vid"

Somehow this sounds like a much nicer season lol

F1 2019 WDC IF THE TOP 6 GETS POINT

2019: Haha imagine Bahrain being the second last race of the season lol 😂 F1 2020: Oh. Still, imagine Australia being at the end of the season lol 😂 2021: Oh.

2:43 how is Bottas 6th with 23 points haha

This absolutely felt like an extra season!

''Inverted troll doll; WIlliam Storey''

3:19 You have a Error, Verstappen has more points than Red Bull So, if Verstappen's points are 58 and Albon 18, Red Bull should have 76 points

What about F1 2019 BUT with reversed winning order (I.e the driver who came 20'th get 25 points, 19'th get 18 etc.) Retired cars obviously doesn't count.

This is actually, a good way to put the season into context, interesting

I forgot Mercedes scored 8 wins in a row at the beggining of the season

Haha, the reverse-switch at RedBull made me laugh

I was hooked as soon as you started going through them, I love this!

I think in Abu Dhabi, Bottas wouldn't start from the back

You should of do this every year and also do a series where you order the races to try to give the most exciting season and call it this season but better

Loved it! Great fun and an experiment into how different the narrative could have been based on trends/results.

This was more than than fun. It was got damn interesting and fun. Chain Bear, you're the man! Thank you for all the work you put into these videos that give me so much knowledge and enjoyment. Happy holidays mate. Take care :-)

I absolutely LOVE these alternative reality F1 videos - you should do more!

What an AMAZING take on the season, Stuart! Love it!

Interesting way of doing a season review 🤔

I literally tought about this 2 days ago when I was taking a bus. When I saw this video I was like "NO WAY!"

Love these random idea videos, great information! 😃

this "what if" things are so much fun and interesting to watch, please keep having crazy ideas hahaha

"we'd almost forgotten he was a 4-times world champion." uhh, yeah. I can say I did.

Great video. Helped me relive the season. It's so easy to forget what happened.

Now, I made an interesting discovery while playing the F1 2018 career mode. I destroyed everyone and won the title in Monza. That’s not my point however, what I noticed is that between Hamilton and Vettel, who was scrapping the most in my fictional season, there was only a handful of points differing them, even though Vettel had more bad races than Hamilton. What I’m trying to say is that, with a season as long as 22 races, having a win count for 25 points, will massively outweigh the 18 points for second. Why not turn down those numbers a little, and award P1 with something along the lines of 21 or 22 points. I feel like the current point system is what is ruining the fight in the championship

This is the type of content I enjoy most from you. Thought experiments are cool.

Brilliant idea man! Clever indeed!

Loved the Video. Great Xmas Present.

Thank you so much for having fun with F1. Are you going to do a season review this year? I'm still laughing from last year's.

That was a very interesting way to look at the season! Well done!

This is epic, would have turned out to be one of the best seasons of all time. :o Chain Bear is simply the best F1 Content Creator. A Big Fan!!!!

Fantastic idea and very interesting approach, thank you!

This is so non-sense but I thoroughly enjoyed it. As funny as it was interesting. Super dope way to recap the year. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

i just giggled on the things brought up during the reverse season, cause you know what was going to happen next. Great Idea!

Bloody brilliant. Thank you for doing this!

This actually got me worried thinking the year we knew didn't happen

I thoroughly enjoyed this speculating and postulating!

Alternate reality allows us to light up the scene of history with a different spotlight, letting us see perspectives we would have otherwise missed. Videos like this can be very valuable, please make more.

Great video as always, nice touch putting Williams at tenth place for the rest of the season before everyone else

If you flip 2019 you basically get 2013. That's interesting. Everybody forgets how bad Gasly was.

I actually really enjoyed this. Clever, even more so than Chainbears normal which is saying something. Applause for who thought of this.

I’m only catching up late on your stream. This was hardly nonsense. Great point about consistency, and the best example I can think of is Keke Rosberg’s championship season (I think he only won one race). Or like Ocon beating Verstappen in GP3.

This was a good video , please do it again next year

For some reason that was so good! Lol I just want to say Mercedes will never think about changing Bottas even if he wasn’t second, because he is a soldier! Whatever James says he does, most of the time sacrificing himself to save his teammate. I can’t think of many drivers that would that.

More silly asides!! That was great fun :)

9:40 the graph for 2019 still has a reversed x axis

Great vid we need more!

This was way more exiting in this way. crazy how fun this was.

Fun video! Never thought of it like that before! 😂

Somewhere in a parallel universe this actually happened.

Great video. That was really interesting

Would love to see you do this for the 2010 season

Well, that was surprisingly more exciting and interesting than the season actually panned out! 😂 (Except for Albon to Toro Rosso ❤️)

Please more of these

The most off-season F1 video seen this year, I love it!

I love this idea! You should do it again!

Any news on whether you’re doing another year in review hour long special like last year? I’ve been waiting since the end of the season for one!

Hey chainbear when is the 2019 predictions video coming?

This actually makes a lot of sense🔥

The reversed Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly Narrative is insane! With this alternative perspective, you can really see how both Gasly and Albon throughly put in very strong work in Toro Rosso cars. And it kinda puts each of their performances in a new light.

Looks like a pretty good 2021 prediction 🤯

This is the kind of content that makes me giddy.

Would love if you did this every year

Wait, does this mean in this world, Alex Albon went straight to Red Bull without going through Toro Rosso? What a world.

Please do this again for 2020 or previous season!

very good insight 👌

11:09 As Russel once said: Consistency is key. And that’s a fact!

Can you do this kind of video for the 2008 season. Would love to see that. :)

I know this is an old video by now and Stuart said on Twitter how much work went in 2018's summary video but I still want to comment this. "Can we have This Year in F1: 2019?" "No, we have This Year in F1: 2019." This Year in F1: 2019:

I did this with the 2009 season way back when - apart from there seldom being more than a race win between the top 3 or 4 in the standings for most of it, Button came from SIXTH at the halfway point (German GP) to stage an extraordinary comeback!

My mind does the same, and you've given me a new thinking point. What if as well as reversing the calendar, you ran the track backwards too?

This was brilliant!

Can you do my life in reverse order ? Where I go from a reasonably well off retiree with health issues to a young man with no money but, more hair and a better body ?

Prediction Check? When?

This could be quite interesting and would make for a different kind of season.

Amazin Quality 😍👑👑

a brilliant idea .. j'adore

could you do the same thing but with qualifying results vs race results?

a cool idea for an off season video would be to explain the logistics and processes of the drivers coming up through the ranks as kids...from carting and the whole works. With F1 seeking to increase the audience in the USA (which is where I am and its much needed here), the drivers that come from Indy and other American series just aren't brought up with the skill set that translates to F1 very often. An American driver would help obviously but how to get "the guy" is the question.

This was great!

That was an interesting narrative. CB did you do this last year?

The off-season is already making Chain Bear create these kinds of videos. It’s going to be a long winter. Still loved the video though

Can you make a F1 season review again just like last year ? Really like the 2018 season review
