The driver that gets the most praise this weekend is definitely Verstappen. Dont downplay that result given where his teammate qualified and finished, 47s behind. Yes, people did simulator work but the car still wasn't great on race day. To beat two faster teams on a fast track is quite impressive

2:38 “it goes right for verstappen” i want to correct you there, its verstappen who is making it right

F1 is one of the great team sports,, it’s easy to credit the drivers because on the track they are out there alone and they make those tiny differences that get you poles and podium’s.. But,, it’s the thousand things by hundreds of people working round the clock back at the factory and in the garage that make that possible..

The end just came down to whoever would crack under the pressure tbh and thats where max made the difference. I saw lando having to make tiny corrections here and there due to how much he was pushing but those small mistakes cost him the race.

Red Bull is over 50 points ahead of Ferrari and over 100 points ahead of McLaren in the constructor's championship. That's not as far ahead as they were after 7 races in 2023 - but it is further ahead than they were after 7 races in 2022. Red Bull are still the favourites for the constructor's championship in 2024. McLaren will continue taking points away from Ferrari, which is to Red Bull's benefit.

Excellent video! It's very impressive how quick you've been able to complete your review of the race.

Lando had no track limits.. He was over 15 times on the last 15 laps. Maybe even more.. He went over the whole race more or less.. Why do they not care about it when it is Lando?

*exciting last 5 laps*

Welcome back mate

Don't forget Max also put in some stints for the Nurburgring 24hr for his team in iRacing.

I feel like Lance wasn't given enough credit here, that Aston is clearly not good, despite upgrades, and through Alonso's struggles, Stroll put in a very strong performance to wring 2 points out from a P13 start in a car that didn't deserve it

@Slimmeyy

29 күн бұрын

While the car definitely struggled, I don't think they're straight out of the points. If Alonso hadn't had a nightmare of a weekend, they'd easily have a double points finish. This was more a weekend where Lance FINALLY performed at the expected level right when Fernando hit a dip.

When you drive in the way while being lapped by Max who at that point is fighting like a lion for the win..... Tsunoda does not score points to get into RBR

Imola is really not that fun of a track despite it being "ENZO FERRARI THIS" and "ENZO FERRARI THAT!"

why dont KZreadrs EQ their audio

I do not think McLaren is close enough yet: firstly McLaren brough track specific upgrades to Imola, Secondly the hard tires on the redbull were not working well with the redbull... Both these points usually add 10 plus seconds in redbulls favour on other tracks

I don't think Tsunoda will ever be a Red Bull driver, he's a Honda driver, and since Honda will be changing partnership from Red Bull to Aston by 2026, Red Bull will not give him that seat for 2025 because of this, Lawson might have a better chance if Danny Ric doesn't beat Tsunoda in points this year.

The bad of the weekend is that the top 5 that everyone thought we had dissolved back into a top 3 and the midfield and the back markers. However the good is that it looks like Ferrari and McLaren can bring a fight to Red Bull better than anyone last year.

@timonsolus

The downside is that Ferrari and McLaren will be taking points off each other instead of eating into Red Bull's lead.

Danny Ric is likely done at the end of the season.

If maclaren stays this strong and perez keeps this kind of results.. maclaren could even win constructors title..

If McLaren can bring in more upgrades this season, I really hope they can make the full jump on Red Bull and go into 2025 with all the momentum they need to fight for the championship!

Yesssss, Yuki got some love today. Glad people are starting to pay attention. Checo is trash, Danny is trash, just get Yuki in that RB seat and Liam in that VCarb seat. Its clear as day.

McLaren right now, has the best car. Ferrari might even be ahead of RBR

Alonso incidents were so weird I bet you Lawrence asked him to look bad so his son looks good.

They are clearly having trouble setting up the RB20 something is not matching what they’re seeing on the simulator.. Because,, when it’s on the car is unbeatable .. Look at China,, Max took the lead in the sprint at lap 9 of a 20 lap race and won by 13 seconds.. and the last 2 weekend the car has looked bad and Checo was no where …Only Verstappen brilliance is dragging that car on the pole and wins and podium’s… I think RB got cocky flew too close to the sun with their extreme car design,, they should of played it safe and went with updating the RB19…

Memories of chasing Lewis Hamilton on Three Wheels came to mind...😅😅

Max the Boss

It obvious that the RB teams upgrades were not maximized, this week end, as both cars did not achieve an optimum race day setup over the weekend. All serious F1 fans know that Lando had less than no chance of beating the dominant RB team/ Max combination, with out a Max mistake or an RB mechanical failure, so the final outcome would not have changed. Ha-ha

Lewis deciding to leave for ferrari is aging like fine win rn

OK, seriously, I don't intend to be rude to anyone who thinks this way - how the hell do people consider race's finish to be exciting in any way? Is just a small possibility that someone could have attacked the leading driver if race was only few laps longer now considered to be exciting? This race really highlighted all the biggest issues in current F1: outdated tracks where racing is nearly impossible, way too big cars that contribute to that problem, the fact that no one can take over without using DRS and that fans and media are getting way too desperate for entertainment that they would turn even something minnow into a spectacle. This is a 0/10 race. The worst one I have seen in a while.

The details are in the grand scheme of things - for instance, who thought George Russell would win fastest lap?

Who would've thought I needed an alarm clock an hour after lights out?

As Yuki fan, I would say the race is quite tense. Not really entertaining, exciting, or satisfying. Just something that puts you in anxiety and then gives you relief when things went well for your driver. Kinda like watching a tight rope walker. Watching someone walk ain't really an exciting nor entertaining affair. You just felt anxious and tense hoping you wouldn't see a disaster happening.

Calm under pressure? He was nearly giving a black and white penalty flag! It was as if McLaren held back Norris's pace, and gave him a small chance to mount an attack. Norris said a few times that his pace is gone. Seems all a bit staged to me, something is going on!

the black and white was at the end of the first stint when his tires were gone. In his second stint he had no track limit violation whatsoever. That is being calm under pressure.
