In this video, we look at eight alternate F1 realities, each with the potential to rewrite the sport’s history. What if Max Verstappen joined Mercedes instead of Red Bull and how would that have shaken up the turbo-hybrid era? Picture Schumacher building Sauber into a powerhouse, Jean Alesi lifting trophies with Williams or Ayrton Senna leading Ferrari’s charge back to the front.Then the real impact of Kubica’s rally accident, what could have happened if Damon Hill took on McLaren’s superteam and how Fernando Alonso’s career might have gone with different team choices. We also weigh up the long-term effects if Lewis Hamilton had stayed loyal to McLaren and what that would mean for both Mercedes and F1 history.


If you’re an F1 fan who loves “what if” scenarios and big sliding-doors moments, this is a must-watch!
