Current drivers
Batman
Batman is the main antagonist of the YouTubeF1 series and the leader of his team. He serves as both an annoyance and a devious villain, quite contrary to many people's usual interpretation of him. His driving at the moment is not so good, having accumulated 18 offences in one event alone!
It is little wonder, then, that Hitler once described him as an "amateur" - how he gained his super-licence we will never know...

Robin
Robin is Batman's loyal sidekick, and has his fair share of bans as well - he was banned following his debut! His time away from F1 doesn't appear to have affected him as much as Batman, though, and is consistent, if neither spectacular nor fast.

Gaston Mazzacane
Gaston Mazzacane has little Formula One experience of note, but is known for causing "Phoenix"'s massive accident during the US GP (after which Minardi was sued by YTF1!). He now joins Batman as his reserve driver, putting an end to the days where Batman would hire YouTubeF1 drivers!

History
The beginning
Batman started off by being a nuisance to the original YouTube F1 squad, interrupting their videos and usually only going away when blown up by a rocket launcher. For the next season, he set up his own team, taking over Prost, to compete against YouTube F1
Immediately things started to go wrong - Robin was banned and Batman was forced to hire on of the YouTube F1 drivers! Later in the season, he was involved in the "sabotage-gate" along with "PhoenixFirebreath", which put both teams into jeopardy for a while. The car itself, though, was extremely, but suspiciously, powerful. Despite that, the car was very unreliable, resulting many retirements. The powerful car and the lack of racing talent made them equal with YouTube F1 and Batman.

German 'assistance'
For season 3 of the original series, another internet meme became involved. Ever the angry man, Hitler took over ownership of the Batman team. This had it's benefits - the works supply of Mercedes engines propelled them into championship contention - but also led to increased conflict within the team. The car was pretty much the same as the previous one: very strong but unreliable.
Their season ended, having just lost the championships to Michael Schumacher and Ferrari (but having beaten YouTube F1), hearing news that the FIA (finally!) noticed that their car was turbo-charged - this to the disqualification of the team from both championships and the major rant of Hitler. After that, all involved faded into obscurity... what happened to Batman, for the time being at least, is never known.

The next chapter
In the first season of the new series, Batman was nowhere to be seen, but after a spate of mechanical failures on the YouTubeF1 cars, those within the team were asking "design flaw or sabotage?"...
Shortly after YouTubeF1 launched their car for the next season, Batman admitted, without regret, that he was to blame for a number of failures on the previous car. Not only that, but also that he was going to set up his own team again!
Despite assistance from Toyota, the new car proved to be a miserable failure and Batman's driving proved to be a little rusty - spinning out of the lead of the Spanish GP did him no favors at all! Whilst he was banned, the unthinkable happened...again! Batman hired "vitaphone97" whilst he was sidelined. later, the arrival of a new reserve driver would, hopefully, prevent batman from hiring YouTubeF1 drivers!

Günsche
Otto Günsche's day job involves informing Hitler about random things. However, during the period in which Hitler owned the Batman team, Günshe was hired to replace Robin. He impressed - winning his second race and scoring strongly throughout his time at the team, proving to be much faster than Batman and Robin, but faded back into the bunker when the Batman team was disqualified from the championships.

AzSchumy
AzSchumy (also known as Azrulzaf2, among other aliases) is a YouTuber with an indecisive mind - hence he's only driven in 2 races, one for Batman (in which he impressed) and one for Sauber (after which he had a 'disagreement' with statto300) and now has no involvement in the series.
