During Valtteri Bottas’s mixed five-year spell at Mercedes he tended to show why the team kept him for so long, as often as he justified why Mercedes finally got rid of him. The headline statistics mark Bottas out as one of Mercedes’ most successful F1 drivers and among a pretty rare group of individuals. Yet by his own admission, there has been one glaring failure. In this video Scott Mitchell details what Bottas told us about the end of his stint at Mercedes, and why he could never quite match Lewis Hamilton on a regular basis. #F1 #ValtteriBottas #LewisHamilton READ MORE HERE https://the-race.com/formula-1/my-best-days-im-unbeatable-bottas-just-needed-more-of-them/ https://the-race.com/formula-1/where-bottas-stands-among-f1s-greatest-wingmen/ Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace
The Alpine Formula 1 team is looking for its fourth team boss in six years following the news Marcin Budkowski has left with immediate effect, with Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi taking day-to-day control on an interim basis pending the appointment of a replacement. Budkowski was to all intents and purposes the Alpine team principal, and his departure leaves it needing fresh leadership ahead of a season when it hopes to take a big step forward. This is the latest ruction in the leadership of Alpine since it bought the ailing Lotus team ahead of 2016 and part of the process of management changes that Rossi decided were required last year So why has Budkowski left, what does it mean for Alpine and how might it fit in with other moves in the unusually active F1 team boss market?

The back of the F1 grid in the 1990s would often be populated by chancers hoping to somehow scrape their way into the race with under-funded, sometimes under-prepared, and definitely under-developed machinery. As F1 grew and the teams at the front became ever-more professional, the gap to these no-hopers at the back increased, eventually to the point that teams of that ilk were stamped out of the championship. In this video, Edd Straw revisits the final era of dreadful F1 teams, picking his top 10 that competed - or at least tried to - during the 1990s.

Honda's F1 engine project was going so badly with McLaren from 2015-17 that the manufacturer seriously considered giving up and walking away rather than trying to put it right. In this video Scott Mitchell explains how that outcome was prevented, and the key steps on the journey that led to the Japanese manufacturer claiming its first world title win since 1991 with Ayrton Senna Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. #F1 #Honda #MaxVerstappen https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace
F1 championship deciders are always pitched as head-to-head contests between the contenders, but they still take place with all the other drivers still in the same race. That means from time-to-time an unexpected interloper ends up playing a role in how (and when) a title is decided. In this video we look at nine times a driver unintentionally played such a role, from those that ultimately didn't change the end result, to those that very much did.

Max Verstappen won the 2021 F1 world championship in the most dramatic fashion possible at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - passing title rival Lewis Hamilton for the race win and the title in a one-lap shootout after a safety car period at the end of the race. But the finish was marred in controversy with Mercedes lodging two appeals, both of which were rejected.

McLaren’s unexpectedly awful run of results in Formula 1 has undone a lot of its early season overachievements and all but handed Ferrari third place in the championship. McLaren edged that fight for most of the season and headed into the recent triple-header of Mexico, Brazil and Qatar third in the constructors’ standings. But its dismal return of just four points from those three races - all scored by Lando Norris as Daniel Ricciardo suffered more misfortune - has virtually guaranteed Ferrari will finish third. So what went so wrong, so quickly? #F1 #McLaren #Ferrari Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace
