F1 Drivers Race Oldest To Newest Karts

What does Quadrant do on a week with no new uploads? It lets Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz carry it.

"F1 Drivers Race Oldest To Newest Karts" went up about six months ago, and the description sums up its appeal in one line: the channel got "Carlando" back together for a karting test. That nickname belongs to the years Norris and Sainz spent as McLaren teammates, when their off-track banter made them one of the most-loved driver pairings on the grid. Quadrant, the motorsport entertainment brand Norris co-founded, is the natural home for a reunion like that. The video has passed eight million views and still draws more each day than anything else on the channel by a wide margin.

Behind it, two very different tests. "F1 Driver vs 50 Amateurs", from early August, has gone past two million. "Can I Beat a Lamborghini?", less than two weeks old, is close behind it in daily pace, which says something about a video that young.

Without fresh uploads, the channel is running a little below its usual pace, and the subscriber count held steady. Among similar motorsport and off-road channels, ThoughTaken is having the biggest week by far, while CarsandCameras is moving at almost exactly Quadrant's speed.
