Reutemann could actually make it into the list as well. He left Ferrari after 1978 to go to Lotus in 1979. His replacement in Ferrari, Jody Scheckter, would win the WDC and Ferrari itself would win the WCC. In 1982 with Williams the mood wasn't the best after all what happened in 1981, so while at first he decided to stay on the team, he ended up retiring for good after just two races. His teammate Keke Rosberg would become the world champion at the end of that tragic season.

He was already fairly old when he got to McLaren, and he feels a bit forgotten despite finishing 2nd in the championship in the bogus 1982 season and winning at Long Beach from 22nd on the grid in 83, which i believe is the furthest grid position to win a race to this day.

Everybody seemed to overlook Vettels possible role in AMR doing so well this year. Sure he might regret not being there now, but he can take comfort in knowing that his feedback and experience is a big part of them making the leap forward. Could be that being good “a year early” is his achievement?

Is it just me, or are the first few seconds of the video (with the intro to the top 10 in it) missing? Or did they also leave at the worst time?

In another universe, Schumacher has 12 titles and never went skiing

Vettel does not regret is just as much as Schumi did not regret it when he left Mercedes before the Turbo Hybrid. They made the progress in later years possible with their experience. They wanted to retire and already accomplished a lot.

At least Button didn't went to Williams and stayed in the bad Honda team. When it became Brawn, he got his well-earned title. Shame that McLaren was on the downfall when 2013 began. I'm sure in a better car Buttons smooth driving style would've give him more wins

Watson could well have been the Champ in 1984. Such a shame. Also the whole 'what if?' of Michael staying at Merc is sadder when you realise he might not have had his skiing accident had he not retired.

1961: Tony Brooks did a Vettel and retired rather than continue with 62 title winners BRM. 1965: Dan Gurney left Brabham (champions in 66 and 67) for his own AAR Eagles. 1969: Chris Amon left Ferrari, the 1970 runner ups. 1985: Rosberg left Williams for McLaren. Not a major demotion since Prost won in 86 but Williams Honda was definitely the best car. 1992: Patrese jumped out of Williams for one year with Benetton. Just before they got good too.

3:07 it looks insane now seeing a drivers head that far out the cockpit. and looks big as the cars were so much smaller then

Schumacher could and should have won 10 world titles, no one will ever be as great as Michael he is the GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🏎️🏎️🏎️

You could add Riccardo Patrese retiring at the end of '93 to the list, as he missed out on a championship-winning car at Benetton. Not that he was unlucky, far from it. He was very lucky landing a seat at Williams for '91 & '92.

Montoya was under pressure to perform in 2006 because of Alonso signing for McLaren at the end of 2005. Five DNFs, only two podiums and being outclassed by Raikkonen didn't help along with a few sloppy mistakes, including taking out Kimi at Indy. By that time, I think he was bored of F1 and wanted to leave. He apparently signed his NASCAR deal without giving Ron Dennis any prior notice, Ron was so incensed at this he sacked Juan Pablo on the spot.

Seb for sure. Would have loved to see him be able to fight for podiums. But I think Alonso is hungrier and is probably the better driver for Aston Martin. Obviously the other seat is Lance’s as long as he wants is and can drive credibly.

Montoya bailed a year before McLaren stopped using Lego engines.

To be honest, I don't believe that Serb will be able to match Alonso's results in the Aston Martin. It appears that he lacks the same passion and is already contemplating retirement while driving for AM.

In Vettel’s case: getting Aston from where they are now to beating Redbull will be as big a jump as them getting from where they were last year to where they are now. He could’ve stayed another 5 years and not won a title. And even if he could’ve, it’s the Ferrari one he really wanted. Alonso and Hamilton just want one more, no matter who gives it to them - I don’t think it’s that way for Vettel

Sebs timing isn't bad. He said he wanted to win, and realistically AM isn't winning this year. The only ones winning this year will be Red Bull. If some stroke of luck knocks out the two Red Bulls, then sure, he may eek a win out, but realistically AM will be fighting for podiums only.

Something that people also keep forgetting is that while Lewis was driving for Mclaren, he was a Mercedes driver first. And who both powered and owned Mclaren (Both on and off track) for a while by the time Hamilton Joined the grid? Mercedes. In hindsight, Hamilton's destiny was ALWAYS with Mercedes so they naturally were always keen to get him on the works team as soon as possible.

its not always about winning, its about being content with a car and team.

Well... Coulthard in 2008 and Schumacher in 2012 dind't left voluntarily. Before Michael announced his retirement, the Mercedes already announced the arrival of Lewis.

It’s sad to see Michael because if he had signed on with Merc he almost certainly would have been with us rn

“Ferrari signed Vettel as his replacement, while Fernando was still under contract” You mean the same thing they did to Kimi for him in 2010 for that Santander money

With things like Schumacher (both times), Coulthard and Vettel: if they had serious enough doubts that they retired then they weren’t the right people to carry the team forward through the good period that followed. Retiring from Mercedes in 2013 wouldn’t be the same kind of blunder as moving from Mercedes to McLaren in 2014 for example

Can't imagine where SCHUMACHER could have reached if he had not retired in 2006...instead stayed on till 2008...and secondly not leaving Mercedes to finally retire.....

None of these examples were as painful as Alonso’s! He could’ve been a 9-time world champion by now!

What about Daniel Ricardo leaving RB due to fears of the Honda engine?

we forget to mentioned barrichello? Williams won a race in 2012?

Mike Krack of Aston Martin said the current car is partly a result Seb’s work so he’d know the potential of the car. II think he just got tired of the FIA BS (busted for motorbiking on an empty track well after the cooldown lap!!🙄

Button had his day in the end, and that makes me happy

Why do teams\drivers have to make decisions during the season in f1?

I’d love to see Vettel and alonso together in that car

Crazy to think how different the F1 world, and Michael's life might be today if he had stayed on with Mercedes

Rubens Barrichello 2011 and last season in F1 with Williams was very mediocre but the 2012 Williams FW34 was very quick and Maldonado got a win that season.

No Ricciardo leaving Red Bull on the eve of their resurgence, to join Renault and McLaren?

Schumacher could have won with mercedes in 2014 despite being a vegitable. Such was the pace of that car

I think Daniel could also have been included. He left RB due to serious reliability issues with their '18 car. But just after he left the team; it gradually started its journey to be a force to be reckoned with. Ultimately reaching their goal in '22 & '23.

What a shame. Vettel's withdrawal from F1 whilst Aston Martin F1 already picked up tons of great results should've been number 1.

I don't think Fernando regrets leaving Ferrari and later McLaren because in both cases neither of them were championship winning cars, but he certainly must regret not joining Red Bull or Mercedes before they became multiple championship winning teams.

Boutsen was just robbed by the Williams. In 1990 he was 3 points behind Mansell, who had better car. And Mansell few years prior left Williams when they don't had the best car after 86 and 87. So why Mansell got his chance again? Back then british media and especially Frank Williams were favouring him and giving top tier cars.

Did Vettel retire or was he pushed?

Choosing the right team is exactly like investing, you buy when there's an offer and you see a potential win, you can't accurately predict the results, when it dips you can get scared and want to cash out but it's a gamble because there may an unexpected boom in profits and you missed the opportunity

Prost wasn't fired, he left because he no longer believed Renault had the will to win. He did an interview in Autosport 30 plus years ago about it.

You missed Jenson Button leaving Brawn just as it became Mercedes. Which UTTERLY dominated F1 from 2014-2020. If he had stayed? He undoubtedly would have massively increased his win totals. And probably would have won several more, world championships. ☮
