* AlliterativeName: Scott Speed.



* ArtisticLicenseHistory:
** Presumably the official [=F1=] channel has more access to documents than the average fan so the inaccuracies in the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnIjQC08qKk Top 10 Cheeky F1 Innovations]]'' video about some of the many innovations that were banned by the FIA despite being within the rules are likely intentional. The [=McLaren=] brake pedal allowed breaking the left/right side independently, which allowed them to make faster turns. It did not allow for breaking the rear independently which does not appear to have been banned by 2020.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8cCDM8jVx8 Remembering Jochen Rindt, F1's Uncrowned King]]'' claims that Rindt's Lotus loosing grip and slamming into the guard rail was "inexplicable" which is a stretch given the car was running without its wing and therefore had less grip which is considered part of the cause of the fatal accident.
* BadassBiker: Guy Martin, a mechanic and motorcycle racer with 17 Isle of Man TT podium finishes who decided to step away from motorcycle racing after breaking his back a second time, joined the Williams team as a pit-crew member for the 2017 Belgian GP. He eventually returned to motorcycle racing.
* BadassDriver: While [=F1=] is a team sport in which the innovative ability of the engineers and strategists is a huge part of keeping competitive every team will do their best to keep their innovations and strategies as secret as possible while in use to prevent other teams from copying them and try to avoid their inventions and clever ideas being banned by the FIA. This means that most coverage focuses on the drivers, who are far more visible and whose skills are always meant to be top level:
** Kimi Räikkönen. Started racing in [=F1=] in 2001. Multiple Grand Prix winner [[note]]21 wins, with 103 total podium finishes as of Sept. 2020[[/note]] and the 2007 Formula One World Champion.

** Daniel Ricciardo. Started racing in [=F1=] in 2011. Multiple Grand Prix winner [[note]]7 wins, with 29 total podium finishes as of Sept. 2020[[/note]]. Noted as good at late breaking and overtaking whenever his car and the track will allow it.

** Valtteri Bottas. Started racing in [=F1=] in 2013. Multiple Grand Prix winner [[note]]8 wins, with 52 total podium finishes as of Sept. 2020[[/note]]. He is Lewis Hamilton's teammate at Mercedes, in what has been the best developed car on the grid for years.

The official Website/YouTube channel of UsefulNotes/FormulaOne, featuring race highlights, "best of" clips of team radio and onboards from each race, driver and owner interviews ("Beyond the Grid"), race analysis, general Formula One news, drivers partaking in trivia challenges and games and other related clips. While the races are of course real life and not exactly tropable the editing and punctuation choices of the editors ensures team radio and onboards presented on the youtube channel have been carefully selected and slightly altered for the viewer and some clips are reaction videos and game show style challenges rather than race coverage.

----
* AnachronicOrder: "Best Of" Team Radio and onboard video from each race weekend is often, but not always, very scrambled chronologically with bits from practice and qualifying runs sometimes being placed ''after'' post-race clips.
* BeigeProse: The fact that Kimi Räikkönen will never answer a reporter with two words when he can get away with one, and masterfully avoids any answer requiring more than three words at almost all times is pointed out in their "unofficial rules" video, where he gets his own rule: Never expect a long answer from Kimi. This "rule" applies to fellow Finn Mika Häkkinen as well.
* BuffySpeak: The fact that the drivers are concentrating on making sure they can react to everything at the high speeds they're traveling and many are not native English speakers can lead to some people forgetting the names of things in the moment and other odd sentences over team radio, then there's Verstappen who can hold a clear conversation while racing ''and'' figure out another team's pitting strategy just from the background noise over his engineer's radio:
** ''"I don't know what happened, but there was a major mal-misorganization problem there."'' —Murray Walker commenting on a very muddled 1999 pit stop by Ferrari (in the Top 10 Moments of Pit Lane Drama video).
** ''"OK, there's that animal running around the track. Before turn 6. In the middle of the track. I don't know what they're called."''—Kimi Räikkönen, 2019 Canadian Grand Prix (FP3)
** ''"Did I send it?! Or did I.. don't didn't send it?"''—Carlos Sainz Jr., 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
* CaptainCrash: Half the drivers on the grid got an accusation of this at some point during the 2019 German Grand Prix. Of 20 drivers only 13 finished the race and two of them ran into each other earlier in the race and several others spun out without needing to retire, though a couple of the [=DNFs=] (Ricciardo and Norris) were due to mechanical failures rather than driver error. Considering their speeds and the track conditions the recoveries managed by some drivers who spun out was quite impressive.
* ClusterBleepBomb: F1 drivers do not censor themselves, and some bits of team radio are primarily bleeped out for the F1 youtube channel, though it's usually fairly easy to figure out what swear words are being disguised.
* FlatJoy: Stroll's Racing Point engineer has responded to Stroll taking P4 or even a podium position with a completely deadpan declaration, often needed to be prompted to say that they're happy with the results but never at any point actually sounding pleased.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In the "Top 10 Moments of Pit Lane Drama" during the clip showing Robert Kubica and Sutil's 2010 crash in Hungary (#8) sharp eyed viewers can spot Nico Rosberg casually driving by in the pit lane background with a missing right rear wheel, which is not even commented on as an additional bit of Pit Lane chaos.
* HesOkay: Team radio after crashes, especially ones that look bad to passing drivers, often contains drivers asking for assurances that the drivers involved are alright from their engineers. The engineers can only relate what they know so the answer is often they're okay if the drivers involved can get out of their cars or are moving even though they haven't been checked out by medical yet as they've survived the initial crash.
** When Antonio Giovinazzi crashed at Spa 2020 and his tire bounded across the track and ended George's race ___ asked his engineer if they were both alright as he passed the wreckage of the cars, as both of them were still in their cars.
** After Charles Leclerc crashed into the tire barrier at Monza 2020 Kimi asked his engineer a couple of times if Charles was ok before getting a response that Charles had gotten out of the car on his own power and seemed ok.
* IdenticalStranger: Kimi's engineer sounds remarkably like Charles Leclerc over radio, which is normally pointed out in the comments and which editors of radio highlights have used to good effect on a couple of occasions. This coincidence seems to be the reason behind certain snippets of Kimi's radio being featured when he's asking questions about Charles or Ferrari, and has led to fans joking that they're each other's engineers.
* ManipulativeEditing:
** In the Best Team Radio for the 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix the clip is edited in a way that makes it look like Pierre Gasly is screaming at his team over the radio to check for fire while pulling to a stop while in the actual race he was yelling over the noise at a marshal standing by the track to check when they hesitated not knowing what to do after he'd already pulled to a stop, and he stopped as soon as someone let him know the car wasn't visibly on fire.
** In the Best Team Radio for the 2019 German Grand Prix the editing mixes around Lewis Hamilton's radio about tires during his slide into the wall, removing the bit where he said the tires were ridiculous right before sliding and using radio from the pitstop he'd made ''before'' the crash.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: At the 2019 Japanese Grand Prix Lecleric tells his engineer that the car feels fine, as his front wing is badly dragging and then snaps off.
* MoodWhiplash: When Nico Hülkenberg flipped into the barrier at the 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix the team radio follows up with a brief moment of likely unintentional levity as Nico confirms he's still conscious by telling them he's hanging like a cow, but the moment is dashed when he tells them to hurry and get him out of the car since there is fire.
* OncePerEpisode: "Get in there Lewis" seems to be a part of the team radio of ''every'' race weekend, as Hamilton takes pole or wins the race, or both.
* QuoteMine: The radio highlights for the 2020 Belgian Grand Prix feature Pierre Gasly exclaiming ''"That's how we race!"'' while passing Perez, cutting out the rest of the quote which makes it seem he's criticizing Perez for a move that he felt nearly put him in the wall and ''""That's how we race!/? He tried to squeeze me like hell!""'' was a frustrated sarcastic question rather than a triumphant declaration, though it's still open to interpretation.
* ReactionVideo: The crew will sometimes have drivers and [=F1=] journalists react to Formula One related videos.
* ShoutOut:
** Alonso's engineer quotes ''Film/TopGun'' in the 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
** Music/{{Sade}} - Smooth Operator - Carlos Sainz Jr. developed a habit of singing bits of the song over the team radio when things were going well during the 2019 season.
** Lando Norris has chanted the refrain from FISHER - Stop It ("Moving up and down, side to side, like a rollercoaster") during team radio.
** In the best of team radio from the 2020 Italian Grand Prix Max Verstappen tells his engineer that they're "Captain Slow" (the nickname of James May on ''Series/{{Top Gear|UK}}'') on the straight, before he's told to retire the car due to engine trouble.
* SkewedPriorities: (2020 Italian Grand Prix) Romain is complaining about a painful screwup in how his drink tube was installed for the race (it was digging into his back),.. while overtaking George, which he doesn't mention on radio.
* TheStoic: The Racing Point engineer has the same mild sounding reaction to Stroll getting on the podium as they do to him finishing out of the points. It was the same with Hülkenberg, and Ocon making them seem almost robotic over the radio as they do not express any strong emotions.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The concept is used to help give an amusing title one of the segments in the ''Top 10 Weirdest Race Retirements in F1'' video which documents a literal instance; a spanner left in the cockpit of Johnny Herbert's Sauber at Monza in 1998 slid forward and locked his brake pedal in place causing him to be unable to break into a turn and go spinning off the track into a gravel trap.
* SuddenlyShouting: Lance Stroll and Pierre Gasly have a well earned reputation for suddenly screaming to the point that their radio recording is all but unintelligible when they finish well (or when things go very wrong) in direct contrast to the former calm of their team radio transmissions, and these yells are startlingly loud compared to the rest of the audio and can be painful for headphone wearers if they're not anticipating it.
* TalkingToThemself: When Charles Leclerc slid into the wall at the 2019 German Grand Prix he told himself to get it together while on radio with his team, and then apologized to them for getting the car stuck.
* TearsOfJoy: At the close of the 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Lando Norris starts to laugh at Jarv (his engineer Andrew Jarvis) for being emotional about what a good season they've had, then admits he's crying himself. This may have had something to do with it being Jarv's final [=F1=] race however nothing said about that made it into the highlight video.
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: In The Best Team Radio video for the 2019 Canadian Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel's radio at the end of the race involves him telling his team, that is telling him to be calm and keep his head down after a penalty cost him the win, in a completely calm and deadpan voice that he is angry and isn't going to be calm, they should understand why that is and that he has a right to be.
* TopTenList:
** In addition to the channel's other content frequent top ten list videos (many of which become near instantly out of date shortly after being posted) are put up relating to UsefulNotes/FormulaOne including: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZqexaWqU1A Top 10 Times The Race Leader Crashed On His Own]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3GfFeDpP0Y Top 10 Team Mate Collisions in F1]] (made before Styrian 2020 where Leclerc and Vettel had another notable collision), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIG091lfL1U Top 10 Gut-Wrenching DNFs]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSgCpfGknbo Top 10 Weirdest Race Retirements in F1]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWxG8hZjl_g Top 10 Moments Of F1 Safety Car Chaos]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPwhmjQt3vo Top 10 Flying F1 Cars]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ncpe67pPW2Q Top 10 F1 Records That May Never Be Broken]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wowS8VrCJT4 Top 10 Substitute Performances in F1]] (published before Hulkenback in 2020) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWfUg5ja90k Top 10 Moments of Pit Lane Drama]] and more.
** At the end of the year the channel's editors select what they consider to have been the top 20 team radio transmissions of the season for a video, and several season specific top 10s.
* WatchThePaintJob: F1 cars get put into the wall, or otherwise damaged fairly regularly. Max Verstappen at one point is told to try to bring the car back looking the same as when he got into it as his aggressive driving style has led him into crashes on several occasions.
* WithFriendsLikeThese:
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Hamilton is surprised to learn that Verstappen is even in the race, let alone in a podium position directly behind him, at the 2020 Hungarian Grand Prix after Verstappen put his car in the wall during qualifying. He gives his engineer the response ''"I thought you said Verstappen's out?"'' when he's warned that Verstappen is working on catching him.

!!Grill the Grid tropes:
* AnimalMotifs: Daniel Ricciardo's nickname/frequent comparisons to a Honey Badger is used to inspire one of the questions given to him in his 2016 Grill the Grid episode.
* BlatantLies: Carlos Sainz Jr manages to claim his perfect score on his 2016 Grill the Grid attempt is just like he was in school, for about half a second before giggling and saying he never did that well but would have if the school quizzes had been about Formula One.
* BleepDammit: In his 2016 Grill the Grid appearance Nico Hulkenberg responds to getting the time wrong for his pole qualifying lap time in Brazil with ''"Anyway it doesn't matter, it was a f-bleep-ing good lap."'' making it quite clear what word they'd bleeped out.
* FailedASpotCheck: In Kevin Magnussen's 2016 Grill the Grid episode he manages the verbal equivalent, when he misses Renault on a question about which teams have won with a Renault engine but gets every other team. His score still sees him tied in first with Massa for the time being with many drivers yet to take their quiz.
* HilariousOuttakes: The 2017 version has an amusing Best Bloopers And Out-Takes video.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: After hearing he's made it only to 3rd behind Massa and Verstappen in the 2016 Girl the Grid challenge Ricciardo jokingly claims he could have taken the lead but wanted to be a "cool kid" as only a teacher's pet would aim to win.
* StealthInsult: It's not terribly stealthy but a rather underhanded compliment given in a way to make it much easier for the editors to just leave out the joking insulting bit. When Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen's Red Bull team learns that Toro Rosso are leading the 2017 Grill the Grid results Daniel responds with "Well done Daniil and Carlos……………Nerds".
* SuddenDeath: In 2016 Carlos Sainz Jr, Jolyon Palmer and Daniil "Dany" Kvyat each earned a perfect 10/10 in their individual rounds, so were faced off against each other in a three question quick final round (with none of the hints drivers sometimes managed to wheedle out of the presenter in individual rounds) to see who won Grill the Grid that season. Palmer won.
