Translation: The FiA just looks for excuses to DQ its competitors.

Spare cars are the problem

2:06 had to slip in a mention about hamilton. can't let anything go these days without mentioning his name
Ernesto Gasulla
Britons really went out of their way to stop Schumi from winning the 94 title. He was also DSQd in Spa and banned for 2 races. And it still wasn't enough...

Oh sorry, I am so confused, I thought we were gonna see some assassin's creed here

Why the racers should wait for many laps before being black flagged? Why were they still allowed to take the spare car?

F1 is like golf on wheels, where insignificant rules abound.
Jordan Stolp
Why are all these black flags late?! Does the FIA just have a team of rules lawyers that constantly page through the massive rule book every time they see something that isn’t their idealized vision of racing?
Retha F
Elio de Angelis (nr 5) was disqualified, according to this vid, for "illegally overtaking several cars." When is it illegal to overtake?
Manny Thrash
Wait so even if two ppl are on the same team only one wins? Why not just have one person per team?
Anirban Samanta
Telling McLaren off for not learning, it seems Formula1 has repeatedly not learned either. Why allow backup cars at all if you are goign to black flag them. All you are doing is putting lives at danger.
cogidubnus1953
If the stewards are so idle they can't be arsed to show a properly prompt black flag for a technical infraction at the start, (as opposed to halfway through the race) then it begs the question whether they're fit FOR PURPOSE...
Pranay Chaturvedi
Everyone - You're not in race
Senna - I don't have to be in it to win it
The Yellow Cursor
LOL I was thinking that with Michael's incident.
reavenMAG
Really? Montoya get black flagged because of that?
Dave Stevens
How are they going to wait 50+ laps to disqualify people? Isn’t that like if they threw a flag in the 4th quarter of a football game and said “back in the first quarter, you were offsides”? Why are drivers switching to the spare car if it’s illegal?
Joey Gee
FIA: Mansell, you're disqualified mate...
Mansell: LEEROY JENKINS!!!!!!!
MadMike96
Nikita Mazepin is going to be added to that list
Xile OW
Why does she say wroth...
faltopfake
After seeing the last clip, I cannot respect Mansell anyomre. (Even tough I'm not a Senna fan)
jbgaters
Schumacher chose violence that day 🤣🤣🤣
fatal_ant
probley one of the worst f1 top 10s there didn't really make the reason clear
Mattia Binotto
Only true legends get black flagged
Dennis Villaflor
Why are they letting them change cars if they will be disqualified anyways.
Dr 2Stroke
how did Montoya's black flag work then? he took the 2nd car out from the pit lane... i dont see how he broke any rules
P W
stewards: "let them race, we'll shock em later for drama"
-Jarno-
last year they mad ea vid about red flags, the past season we saw a bunch of red flags. so... this season we probably see a lot of blackflags.
ArielAprillia Rachmann
To think abt it, Montoya was a very determined driver.
GumBoy1717
How can you disqulalify a driver that did not qualify for the race in a first place? ;)

Mansell was a lowlife!
Neil
What always used to amuse me is how Murray Walker never had any idea what any of the black flags were for, even though he had watched the incident that led to it, and would be expected to make a connection.
What I found even more confusing was that James Hunt, usually switched on when it came to these things, also had no idea why Mansell was being black flagged at Estoril in 1989. I find it bemusing that neither he nor Murray Walker knew that you can't reverse in the pit lane under your own power.
Spathens
Senna’s was bull, he was waving the entire time and no one saw it
Townicus
That Montoya black flag is super harsh
gmwdim
Finishing 43 laps behind the winner. Impressive.

Racer: Gets in the spare car
FIA: Wouldn't that make you

This video is dumb. It's mostly administrative nonsense. I wanted to see some cowboy stunts that got people banned.
Anton Chigurh
Colin Chapman stone crazy. ^^
Darth Matt
Schumacher is a cheat. It’s karma he’s a vegetable now.
LOLZ LOLZ
02:37 I bet Kubica wished he followed them through!
Ailsa Ni
All I learned from this video is that Black flag = no more pit spots
TJ B
Why do these drivers get black flagged halfway through the race for starting from the pits after the start? i can somewhat understand why they arent allowed to start from the pits or whatever but why do the officials wait until halfway through the race to give out the black flag????
oof
Man I love all of these old cars
soiung toiue
Ooooooh I’ve been waiting for this
S AH
9:29 Strangely, it didn't had any further investigation during the incident just like nothing happened or everything it's fine... 😂😂😂 Fairly, Mansell should deserve more punishment because of accidentally dangerous driving... 😂😂😂
John Hatchell
The craziest black flag moment in Formula one is a normal race in NASCAR its why its such a more entertaining way to race
xJeversons
so far what I know about F1, you have a spare care but you aren't allowed to use it
xJeversons
@soiung toiue Yeah but isn’t that kind of true?
soiung toiue
The moral of the story: F1 is racist because the black flag is the worst flag
Real
I completely forgot about the Nigel flag. What was his punishment? Because later on Schumacher would do the same thing and get a 2 race ban but he didn't take someone out in the process.
Trigger
So what I’ve learned is the stewards majority of the time are buzz kills and want to punish anyone who doesn’t adhere to their “strict rules and formality’s”. Should just let people race, explains why F1 seems so boring nowadays compared to 20-40 years ago.

Ooooooh I’ve been waiting for this
Franco Viejo
Took them sixty laps to give my man Montoya the flag?
riley fair
If using your spare car is illegal at the start why do they keep doing it and why do you have a spare car if you cant change it out. Especially when starting in the pits puts you behind anyways
Michael Jepsen
Great stuff, guys.
Michael Jepsen
@bcvbb hyui Also Black Flag is a great video game so there is that.

Don't these drivers get that if you start the race from the pit lane in your spare car you'll be black flagged?
Hadrionics
The moral of the story: F1 is racist because the black flag is the worst flag
Dave in the Microwave
so all of these were because of rules that are questionable at best...
vbddfy euuyt
That is why he was disqualified! Sad, but true...
Chris Died
The "roth" of the officials? Smh
Cody Stauner
That's how you know F1 is not a serious motorsport and is nothing more than a popularity contest that is rigged. When they let you get your spare car and race most of the race before disqualifying you for doing too well you know it's rigged. Why anyone watches it baffles me. No sport should have officials interfering with the results unless a team fails pre or post race inspections, everything else is just race strategy.

"And Ayrton Senna is being shown the black flag, this is amazing!" Never change, Murray

Why aren't they black flagged instantly?
riccardo perini
“If you no longer ignore a black flag that exists, then you’re no longer a racing driver” Michael Hill...or something

Why does it need a half race to blackflag someone who violates the rules before the start?
ceerw buty
I was searxhing for years for such a Video. Never found nothing
Michael Matthews
0:08 The black flag is awarded by the stewards? Not much of an award if you ask me lol
AstralDragoon
Well, what's the point of having a spare car, then? If the first has a problem, do you just go "welp, can't race" and walk away?
Andrew Wells
Mazipin to get at least one this year

really don't understand why they wait till a driver has completed half a race before black flagging them for an incident at the start
Lister of Smeg
1:25 - 'the Caesars palace race took place just outside a Las Vagas casino' ... Caesars palace IS the casino, you idiots!
Janine Richter
Soo...they let them drive half a hour or more until they decide to disqualify them because they took the reserve Car? What a waste of time.
DabSmacker802
Video is not available...
Marcelo Moraes
Senna did not got black flagged because of spare car! What really happened is that during his pit stop, the engine went off, and they manually turned back on, which is illegal. That is why he was disqualified! Sad, but true...
Luiz Claudio
Mentira!!!
Mark Anthony Cuay
Ayrton might still be furious in heaven ..bcuz of Mansel xD

What's the point of the spare cars if you get disqualified for using them? Lol just FIA Things.
HORUS

9:28 what a un sportsman like thing to do
Nate_zx6r_ryder
Funny how they let them run like 1/2 to 3/4 of the race before black flagging them lol

Black flag This comment : black flag
Full of Mischief
The older F1 cars are so beautiful. Very simple designs, none of the wonky side aero. This era is definitely safer for drivers, and necessary, but man those old cars are works of art.
Clovis Junior
Rules against Senna, bizarre
srinitaaigaura
Who here is keeping their fingers crossed for the Nikita Mazepin Black Flag compilation?
opzz xsin
Mansel taking out Senna whilst not being in the race is massive F1 lobby vibes.
chris bradbury
“black flags only occur when there’s a serious breaking of the rules”
black flags a car for being a couple feet to the left at the start
SaltyPretzel
did they spell senna's first name wrong?
FOH-3663
The real story; JPM's cat like reflexes and lightning speed on his feet ... who knew?
Ronald de Rooij
Being black flagged and not leaving the race..... it is like having a red card in football and just continuing playing the game. For me, that is a lifetime ban.
muhammad nurazlan saadon
3:39 senna stalled..... Senna stalled....
9:12... One more extra..... Mansell black flag in portuguese gp 1991
Qasim Mir
Basically it’s been used unnecessarily to ruin great races. Seldom used these days when a driver genuinely does step out of line, case point, Sebastian Vettel at Azerbaijan in 2017.
Chase Russell
Hope Kimi never gets black flagged. Wouldn’t be pretty!
Gracie Rodriguez
The nasty flavor genotypically drown because blanket synchronously satisfy within a ultra ellipse. illegal, misty part
Tyler P
Can you imagine someone not qualifying for the race, waiting for the all the cars to get off the line, and then coming out of the pits anyways today? 😂
SinisterServal
FIA: Hey you can’t do that! Driver: 🖕🏻 I’m racing!
