2024 F1 Chinese GP SPRINT race by Peter Windsor
Спорт
The Chinese GP sprint race for a while had a very different look about it: Lewis Hamilton led for Mercedes, chased by another F1 veteran - Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso. In P3, though, lurked Red Bull's Max Verstappen. In this video Peter Windsor describes what happened next - and why.

I remember looking at the gap between Lewis and Max, and it was like 1.8s. I grabbed my phone and sent my friend a message, then locked the screen and looked back at the TV. He was already glued to Hamilton. Then he passed. Then he was two seconds ahead. Then he disappeared. Incredible.

Lando Norris' reaction time was within one hundredth of a second to Hamilton's. That was not the issue. He got up to 200km/h slower than Hamilton and then Lando through lack of racecraft put himself out of contention for the win.

Lewis nearly always seems to get a good start. Particularly good reaction times? The car has really good traction? or the engine has a lot of low end grunt?
what not many people saw or understand is how max pulled away from lewis after he just went by him. you can see it on the onboard camera. in the crossing point max took a different line then lewis and just when lewis wanted to speedup again having a better exit. max broke that line by crossing over. therefor for a split second lewis had to break while max gained speed and directly took 0.700 time from lewis. i do not know if done on purpose but it was beautiful to see.

P18. even in that car, lewis would not have to ended at P18. is the car of max good. yes it is. it is incredible. but what max is doing with the car no one can do. specially not lewis since he prefers understeer instead of oversteer. goodluck in beating that!

@@elecovanrenss1352Max should win every time in the RedBull. It’s a masterful machine. It’s a more than a second a lap faster than any other car in clean air. Do you think Max wins in the Merc? Not a chance. I like Max he’s a great driver but Lewis let him past today plain and simple it was pointless fighting. If you think he fought him your tripping he could have kept the inside line and held him for a lap maybe but that would damage Lewis’ race for no benefit as the RedBull is too strong he had ten laps left. At the chequered flag go forward two more laps and Checcos past Lewis no issue and in the race tomorrow they are 30 seconds upfront. No danger. Stop fanboying it’s boring.

Dear Peter, it almost feels like an honor to listen to your reviews. I am an F1 fan since ages, but all your posts make me feel humble. Very insightful, really!
People keep saying Norris lost grip and ran wide, but what I saw was Lewis implementing his signature move of edging wide to force his opponent off the track. I'm not saying he broke the rules - although others who force people wide are often criticised - but that is a move he's done many many times through his career. *EDIT* having watched it back I see it WAS Lando losing grip that took him off. Had that not happened he would have been in a good position going into turn 2, so I think he was right to go on the outside and just got unlucky with grip.

In stead of being all in awe of the sainz boy, he basically tore his tyres apart within two laps. Very intelligent. You could’ve mentioned Max obliterating all false hopes with a 13 second gap at the chequered flag of a 19 lap race…..#keeppushing
Great analysis. ❤
Sir Windsor. Delivering the goods. As usual
Do you not think DRS kept Sainz within striking distance of Fernando? Sainz lost out in sector 2 I think against him and DRS got him back into it on the straight. So DRS definitely helped I would say
Brilliant analysis
Thanks
The incident between Leclerc and Sainz was noted by the stewards.
No surprises here with Max and the RB20. Then drives off into the distance once he takes the lead. Sergio also made a brilliant pass for third place.

it was a great start from Lewis.
What do you think about the sprint qualifying being removed and bring back fp2. The sprint should be a reverse grid of the previous Grand Prix results offering more points then it does currently for p1-10. I think that would be highly entertaining to watch.

Would Redbull and Mercedes-Benz settle the discussion? I'd be surprised if a weekend of Lewis vs Max wouldn't yield huge returns. Format testing in Mercedes-Benz. Then tested in RedBulls. Then a short race Max in a merc vs Lewis in a Red Bull. Then try all the possible variables. I'd be surprised if Formula 1 didn't recover some fans.

Seem like by your voice you just woke up Peter, anyways thanks for the sprint analysis spot on as usual 👌
Some don't like the sprint races, some love them, it's 50-50 as far as I can tell. At least something is happening, still, miles and miles better than the 2016 qualifications when the FIA came up with that hare-brained idea of eliminating the slowest driver every 90 seconds until the qualifying segment ended.
It is hilarious that Lewis's fans think this was a fantastic performance from the goat. It was indeed a fantastic qualifying by Lewis, undoubtedly. If you really look at the race, it was the amazing driving skills of the Lion Alonso, who managed to keep much faster cars behind him and destroy their tyres. Lewis didn't have to do anything as Alonso was keeping the faster cars behind, including Max for a long time. I can't help laughing.

So long Hamilton!!
I don't think staying on the outside of the corner at all cost was a smart decision from Lando, he threw away the chance for a podium in turn one of the race.
Catch a cold?
Even Verstappen is sounding bored - in a sprint race starting 4th he still finishes over 13 seconds ahead and the result wasn't even unexpected. If it is going to continue in this vein Verstappen is going to start taking a book with him to read.

Another 'experiment' excuse for Lewis. He needs to cut out the mistakes. The error in the sprint caused floor damage. Then putting a Mercedes 18th, was shockingly poor. He needs maximise his package and eliminate all the errors. The greats have always shown their greatness when they don't have the best cars. Lewis needs to step up and show us he is not only great when he has the best car.

"Lando Norris made a relatively poor start" and "Lewis Hamilton alongside him made a fabulous start"... Really? By one one hundredth of a second? Really? You Brits will go to any length to make Hamilton sound good at the expense of others. It's sad really, Lewis doesn't need the help and you don't need the embarrassment.
Max wins by 13 secs in 20 laps ...this show is over bar the shouting...its a bit of a joke. Someone needs to remind Lando that you don't win a race on lap 1 but you can lose one.
Russell, the most overrated and overpaid driver in history.
If Norris had ran Hamilton out of track like he did to Norris who wants to bet Hamilton would of been on the radio complaining for dangerous driving and Norris getting a penalty.

Each race different winner. Today race will be super boring unless it rains. If not max will overtake everyone up to p 4
