2024 F1 BAHRAIN QUALIFYING analysis by Peter Windsor

Спорт

It looked to be close - very close. Ferrari were quickest in FP3 and Qs one and two. Yet, when it mattered, under pressure, and with the benefit of more top speed than he using in free practice, it was Max Verstappen and the new Red Bull RB20-Honda who took the pole by the healthy margin of 0.3sec. Charles Leclerc duly lines up P2 for Ferrari, ahead of a spectacular George Russell (Mercedes), Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez in the other Ferrari and Red Bull, Fernando Alonso (Aston), the two McLaren-Mercedes of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, a disappointing Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) and the impressive Haas-Ferrari of Nico Hulkenberg. In this video Peter Windsor looks back at the day's key results and offers his explanation as to why the grid looks the way it does.

    Peter, with all due respect, I think you missed Charles' time in Q2. It was 0.01 faster than Max in Q3. I think the conditions changed in the end, cause both Max and Charles had a yellow third sector on their fastest aps, which is weird to say the least. My point is though that the Ferrari maybe had a touch more pace and could legitimately have had the pole.

If they are genuinely, say, 5 seconds faster per lap quicker but choose to be conservative during qualy then that's not fair not only the people that built the car but also the audience. Besides, I just think like last year the RB is purpose built to be much quicker on race pace than 1 lap.

    Considering Perez's place it seems that the Red Bull is being given a bit more credit than due and Max a bit less. I guess that it's more comfortable for British commentators to consider that the Red Bull is unbeatable than acknowledge that Max is currently a step ahead of all other drivers.

    Three things here: 1: Is Perez as good of a driver relative to the top drivers (the Ferraris, the Mercs & the Mclarens & Alonso), is it that Perez made a mistake on his lap or the car suits Max driving making Perez look like a slow driver? 2: Considering that the Pole lap was slower than LeClerc's Q2 lap, can we classify Max lap as brilliant? considering they had to adjust settings to be more tuned for a qualifying seen by Max going purple in the first sector more than once) 3: Is it not clear that the RB is by far the best car on the grid with its agility and ability to perform in every condition?

    @@mahyala_ Irony abounds you talking about laziness when you can't even use punctuation correctly or for that matter, talk in coherent sentences. I mean you can't even spell Leclerc right. First of all, even Sky F1 with massive a production team doesn't get everything right and misses things. Inevitably when you have qualifying that lasts the best part of an hour and Peter wants to cover the whole grid while keeping a short format things will be missed, fact. He doesn't have the audience's attention span to go through data for 20 drivers. Also, you seem to gloss over things that Peter covers that no one else has such as his videos on the importance and skill the best drivers show at turns 9/10 on this track. Peter's explanation and highlighting of car control, positioning, steering and pedal inputs are all hallmarks of his analysis. Most of those points are covered pretty poorly by other people. You also didn't mention my comment about Scarbs who has the best tech analysis of anyone associated with F1 and is on this channel more than anywhere else. If you don't like the content feel free to jog on. Don't bother letting us know on your way out.

    Hello Peter, nice you point here the speed advantage of the RB20. The SF-24 with Charles achieved the same quali time of Max in Q2, But there speed disadvantage shows they had to use more wing.. Pete, should notice the upper Side Pods of the RB20 is relatively very high and it ends right below the rear wing and That creates much more pressure drop in the rear end, which creates more Downforce with less wing, and less drag - Those higher Side Pods are the main advantage of the RB20 !!

  • @michaelsheedy

I miss the days he's had to really put his elbows out to win. The scraps between Lewis and Max, while often on or over the limit, were such a joy to watch. And who can forget the absolute bro Checo making his car as wide as a combine when he needed to.

    I am guessing that the RB20 will do very well on the tyres. I only say this because Max was consistently "slow" in the middle sector where most of the slower corners are, so i am guessing that the car is just way more easy on the tyres compared to other cars/drivers that try to squeeze max performance out of every centimeter of the track. As opposed to the RB20 having the luxury to 'coast' in the middle section, but who knows. (EDIT: Actually, i just watched the quali press conference and Max was asked exactly why the middle sector was not their strongest part and Max said that he didn't know why, he pushed but it was all that the car could give him. So, who knows, maybe it could actually be a weak spot.)

    You are not listening straight mate... yes Charles was quickest in q2 but looks like it he played with the front flap in q3 for more turning and lost in exit and straight line speed... I am a Ferrari through and through but we didn't deserve the pole.. by the way the tow max took worths 0.08 so no much

    To OP. 1. The general consensus is that the Red Bull is in a league of its own. Hence all the wins. No different from when Lotus, Ferrari, McLaren, Williams and Mercedes had cars in a league of its own. 2. The Red Bull is designed by Adrian Newey, the most successful man in all of Formula 1 history. Designed 14 championship winning cars for Williams, McLaren and Red Bull (including the cars Vettel won 4 straight titles with in 2010-2013) from 1992 to 2023 (31 years). It's hard to argue against his proven success as a designer of F1 cars. 3. Perez is a *lousy qualifier* and always was. It took a record 216 GP's before Perez finally qualified on pole. That puts him dead last of every single F1 driver in history who has ever qualified on pole. Fact is this unwanted record is held by a rather considerable margin too for it's a *whopping 65 more qualifying sessions* than the 2nd worst ever driver on this list. It's fair to say he'd never qualify on pole ever if he wasn't driving that Red Bull. Fact is Perez never even started on the first row a single time (1st or 2nd place) before joining Red Bull. All these facts paint a picture and are awfully hard to argue against. My point is that Perez is a bad measure to assess the raw speed of a car - especially in qualifying. The fact that all the team principals collectively ranked Perez 10th in their Top-10 drivers of 2023 list says a thing or two as well. They ranked him 10th best even though he finished 2nd in the championship point standings. As far as they all are concerned there are 8 other drivers who did a better job even though they didn't drive a Red Bull. Max might be the best. But to say that he also doesn't have the best car is hogwash at best and plain disingenuous at worst. I'd say that my assessment is more valid, nuanced and fair than your blanket assertion. "It's Max, time and again, who makes the difference" Look up this thing called *confirmation bias* . Generally found among kids, fanatics, conspiracy-theorists and zealots. Basically it means a person has already made his/her mind up and only look for (or perceive) things which confirms their myopic belief and roundly ignores everything else which portrays a more balanced, fair or *valid* picture. Or disproves it. Jean Todt, Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne all played an important part in the early 00's domination of Ferrari. It wasn't all just Schumacher. Had somebody like Stefano Domenicali been in charge of strategy (anachronism) rather than Ross Brawn I see Schumacher losing 2 or 3 of his 5 titles with Ferrari. More perspective, scope and more variables. A reductionist mind never benefited anybody.
