A rather superficial review of Formula 1 by an outsider I originally thought this channel could provide high-quality in-depth discussions even from other perspectives Instead you just watch those highlight instead of a Full Race, and then gave very inaccurate comments What a Joke! Very Disappointed! Already withdrawn my subscription form the previous video...
@@HK3rdClass it's neither superficial nor is it by some 'outsider'. Are you some sort of a tribal who goes around looking to cast people in and out of their imaginary tribe? You should withdraw your subscription from the internet itself would be better.
@@trev3971 Thats not a fair thing to say really. Yes that car won a lot and yes the best Jos could manage was 3rd, but are we forgetting who was the other driver in the Benetton? a Mr. Schumacher, maybe? Anyone is going to look bad when Schumacher is their teammate
Didn't really touch on the main reason: Red Bull has Adrian "Ground Effect" Newey, the aerodynamicist who wrote his thesis on ground effect back in the 70's and has been on the pinnacle of motorsport design for more than 40 years. It's like if you were in a cooking competition and the new rules say that from now on you're only allowed to cook pasta and you were lucky enough to have Italy's Nº1 chef on your team lol.
Problem isn't that they have Newey. Problem is no other team has anything close to it. Back in the day you at least had Gordon Murray and Pat Symonds in the mix. That's F1 biggest problem today.
@@jonelsorel agree ... the most dominant mclaren era was when Gordon Murray designed car for them .... aero specialist need to be more appreciated i tell you
But F1 car isn’t only about the floor (or pasta as you called it), other teams could copy-carbon the floor of RB’s car, and still wont make any difference as of overall car’s performance
Another thing not mentioned that some viewers may be unfamliar with about Max is that he is into sim racing. He pretty much has a built in sim setup in his apartment with a fridge of redbulls beside him and the 2021 World driver's championship in top of it. There's entire compilations of him stream racing while his girlfriend's daughter is in the background. Like he bleeds racing both on and off track. There's a philosophy of "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday" meaning you win a race to market yourself better, while Max's philosophy is basically "Win on Sunday, Race on Monday", he wins and then after winning he goes straight to the digital version to keep racing
He is also an admirer of sportscar racing, and has said he will be in sportscars after F1 before. Sportscars are the cars that race at Le Mans, a french race, the most famed in Endurance Racing, celebrating it's 101st anniversary this year. He also has ownership of a GT3 team which he wants to put gifted sim racers into real cars. Socialcredit is right, Max's life is racing. He bleeds it.
I understand for new fans, seeing Max dominating the game is not fun. But it is part of the F1 for years. In the beginning Fangio dominated no matter the car, Senna, Schumacher, Vettel, Hamilton. Lotus, Williams, McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull. So i agree more action on the track is better 2021 was amazing. But it is part of the sport imho
Great video but a small correction. 1:45 Team Mercedes did win the constructors (teams) championship in 2021. It was the driver’s championship they lost that year
There's a lot of small inaccuracies in the video, with wrong years, liveries and incorrect moments to make a point. I guess they focused on the driver winning, given that is usually the bigger thing for the fans. Nevertheless, it was a pretty solid video overall.
I think the biggest "problem" in F1 is Max. When he, like many other GOAT tier drivers (Hamilton, Vettel, Schumacher, Senna...), gets the right tools underneath him, he's unstoppable and most of all unbelievably consistent. Take him out of the car and we have an exciting season. Schumacher won every third race in a span of 14 years (1992-2006), and winning a championship every other year. Lewis broke countless records driving the same Mercedes Bottas did, and no one looked at Bottas and thought "that's a dominant car". Lewis made it look dominant, so does Max make the RedBull look untouchable. Let's start giving Max the praise he deserves. Great video, btw.
@@saltyaphid3195So you would punish a team for having the best driver? F1 is the pinnacle of motorsports and it comes with it's fair share of good and bad sides, but it's still the number one motorsport in the world for a reason. By far. And like I said, remove Max and you have a exciting season, so the problem isn't RB or F1 regulations, it's Max.
@Hechaldo have you watched other motorsports? Its never domination like f1 and they dont punish the drivers for finishing well. Basically im saying spec is better and that any series relying that much on engineering will get domination
Max just a hardcore racer. This man was racing in a sim at 4 am on RACE DAY. This dude has an actual IRL F1 race on the same day and the madlad is playing on Sim racing at 4 am in the night! No other driver on the grid has this level of dedication and love for racing!
He WON Monaco and was on iRacing 40 minutes after the podium ceremony ended.... The RB is fast, but as Perez shows, its not everything. Not like in Merc's dominant days where both cars were >20s ahead of the rest of the grid. This is a situation of a generational driver in the fastest car.
Also one of the things that makes the RedBull car dominat, is because they have one of the best, if not the best car designer in F1 history, and his name is Adrian Newey. He won multiple Constructors Championships with Williams and McLaren and now with RedBull when Sebastian Vettel was there and now Verstappen
Not just Adrian, however. While Adrian has been a key factor, he just provides an overarching look over the entire team's operations, while the hundreds of engineers the team employees, including Technical Director Pierre Wache, lead the main engineering of the car. He has mainly only been involved on the suspension side, but that was one of his key involvements, given his former experience with ground effect cars (including his thesis on the same) emphasising the need for a good suspension system to ensure proper aerodynamic operation.
Awesome video, but small correction at 2:40: Alfa Romeo appears in the video w/ a spelling mistake as "Alfa Romero" and the team referenced as "BWT Racing" is actually Alpine. BWT is their main sponsor.
Watching this after most of the season so over seems os so strange talking about Reb Bull dominating. With how close it is now and them unlike to win the constructors champion.
It's very common for motor sports to ban Innovation because they work too well or make the car too fast (and dangerous). I can't imagine them banning a driver because he's too good and too fast. Especially with red-bull/Max dominance threatening the entertainment aspect of the sport.
Hoping Formula E and hydrogen versions to become mainstream. We would see a lot of advancements in electric and hydrogen car technology with constant refinements in the racing Sphere.
The other things about Max and why his pairing with Red Bull works so well are: 1. He practices racing all the time. With the sim and on track. 2. The RB car is prone to oversteering and he does really well when placed in a car with lots of oversteer.
👋This is just our first of many F1 videos to come. Couple things I should clarify: 1. Mercedes did indeed win the "Constructors (or team) championship" in 2021, Red Bull won the "drivers championship". I should've clarified the difference between the two. (TY to those that pointed that out) 2. While Red Bull is winning everything on the track, they are doing their very best to lose Off the track 👉 twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1765745906194759743?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet For those of you that want even more details about how these cars work and driver's styles I really encourage you to check out Scott's channel @Driver61 ! Finally, here's our sources for this video: docs.google.com/document/d/1JkTULSVveeTgfxtY0OC-ITanRV8LImQg82QbtGVR138/edit?usp=sharing - Sam
You also clearly used footage from between 2014-2016 era cars when you mentioned 2020 before showing a picture from 2021. BWT isn't a team, they just sponsor Alpine. A lot of this video just seems like surface level stuff and assumptions
You mean british tabloids are taking veryvweak sources and do anything to take down rb/max because of their boy hamilton. They are alsonwinning off track shown by them being p1/p2 in bahrain. Alpine is losing off track , losing senior staff is losing off track. Rumours are part of f1.
In the 2021 Formula 1 season, Mercedes secured the constructors' championship title. However, they were robbed of the drivers' championship by the race director, Michael Masi, who as inconsistent with the rules and regulations thus was later fired.
Red Bull 2022-present Mercedes 2014-2020 Red Bull 2010-2013 Ferrari 2000-2004 Williams 1993-1997 McLaren 1988-1992 I can keep going. This is what F1 is and has been for a very long time; sometimes, there are two dominant teams (McLaren and Williams in the 80s and McLaren and Ferrari in the late 90s, for example), otherwise it is usually one team ahead of the others with blips along the way. 2005-2009 was more competitive but at the end of the day it was still mostly Ferrari and McLaren, plus Alonso in a Renault. Newer fans need to understand this as seasons like 2021 are very rare.
Don't forget that Adrian Newey, the head designer at Red Bull Racing is a specialist when it comes to ground effect, the principle that is used by the floors to "suck" the cars down on the track. Newey graduated in it at university in 1980.
Welcome to formula 1 people. Some of us have been here for over 25 years loving this sport. (Before drive to survive) Thanks for covering it Sam and Jhonny!
I watched entire 2023 season only because of Alonso but seeing testing results of this year it was clear who's going to win the championship. I haven't even bothered subscribing to F1 TV.
Interesting video, but saying Max is the son of "two racing legends" is a wild take when his father competed in F1 for 10 years, didn't even come close to a win and retired more times than he actually completed a race... besides all the problematic aggressive behaviours he's displayed for years haha
I realize this video is just a primer for non-fans, but the cavalier editing is pretty poor. Max passes Perez at the end of the Kemmel straight because he has DRS, not because he's a superior driver in an identical car (though that is true). Plenty of true examples exist of Max being way ahead of Perez on pace, making one up isn't necessary.
he also has a sim rig in his plane, the room he stays during the race week, in his house in monaco. the dude also has his own esports team. team redline racing. and last week he stayed until 4am racing .... the same day as qualifying in jeddah. and still got pole position. originally a vettel fan, and not a fan of anyone in 2023... but the race that seals the deal of me is Monaco 2023. from pole to the race itself, i know from that point that im watching the something special. a legend in the making.
And let's not forget that the RB19 was a car... *_that had limited testing time in the wind tunnel._* They had a 10% reduction on the time originally assigned (of their approximately 850 hours of testing, they took 10% off, and if you compare it, for example, to HAAS, the last team, which had about 1,400 hours assigned... it is much difference), and even they seemed surprised. That's why in 2023, Red Bull literally told everyone "if we did that in a more limited time, guess how we'll do once we get 100%..."
What i think is interesting is when the drivers were asked what they would do if they wearnt an F1 driver, only Max said we would want to race or be a part of racing as something else. Only other person who said something like that was Fernando who mentioned we would like to be a cyclist. Max is a racer and nothing else, if he isn’t driving a car he is SIM racing and he’s one of the best sim racers in the world too. This guy’s consistency comes from the ridiculous amount of time he spends on track in game.
Yeah it was 3 months ago, and basically the day after Verstappen DNF-d. Obviously it was a joke, everybody knew that he will win everything else after that race.
A small mistake at 6:23. Red bull didn't win due to its "high downforce". It won because of ferrari stumbles. In spain the gap was 13.5 seconds when leclerc had his engine failure. And in monaco, well we all know what happened there......
Maybe losing the Drive to Survive fans was just inevitable. A lot probably had curiosity from that show but were just never going to have a long term interest in the sport where a single race is almost as long as a season of the show.
There's so much missing from here. It's been a problem since the godawful 2009 regulations change, and arguably can be traced back to rules designed in 1994/1995. Driver skill overtakes are nearly dead and most passes are made by drivers just getting in position, pushing a button, and sailing by because you can't defend. Tracks have been ruined, and newer circuits are not made to facilitate the showcase of the skill of the driver. Even that wouldn't be a problem if it was possible for teams to put their drivers on alternate strategy, which was often a key strategy before 2009, where focusing on running in clean air to maximize downforce and tire life could let you win with ridiculous strategy calls. But the restriction on race lengths, the unrealistic specifications that Pirelli has to build the tires to, and the removal of refueling means that in the current day all the drivers will run one of two strategies for 90% of the season (hard to medium tires or medium to hards, just one stop) and unless you're in the top team or bottom team that year your result mostly comes down to where the push button overtakes land you. There is nowhere left to show driver skill in F1 outside of qualifying and sometimes the first lap of a race. And that would be perfectly fine if F1 did what 60's and 70's era Can-Am did and committed to being a championship focusing on engineering development, but those have become more restrictive since, again, 2009, making it virtually impossible to catch any decently funded and decently ran team that finds an advantage two years before regs start. In other words, F1 has the worst of both worlds: A very limited amount of car development, and a lack of showcasing of driver skill. People shouldn't have to watch a F1 world champion play video games on the weekdays to be convinced of his skill.
As a fan of F1 since the 70s, I've found myself no longer watching races live the last few years, but just fast forwarding through it on my DVR... Even those hosted in the US (that are on a reasonable hour, unlike Vegas) get the DVR treatment... Honestly don't know the last time I've watched a podium ceremony...
@@dicki97 I think most Americans hate ads. So, yea, it may be an attention span thing in that we hate having to watch commercials for products we don't want while we wait to go back to the action. My issue with last week's race was that it was boring. Max rockets off the line and that's it, game over... Lollipopman F1 Comics take on it was spot on: they could have started playing the Dutch National Anthem before the lights went out. I don't watch NASCAR, so that stereotype doesn't apply. I do watch IndyCar, IMSA Sports Cars, 24 Horus of Le Mans, and the Tour de France and find the ads on those broadcasts to be very frustrating. It sucks having the action interrupted by a commercial. And I'll be honest, I DVR those just so I can skip the ads. Since NBC and Paramount/CBS now stream European football without commercial breaks, I enjoy watching those matches (though again, I sometimes DVR things, especially mid-week matches which overlap my workday, just so I can skip the halftime report [Paramount is nice in that they don't even include a halftime report in their replay streams]). I think the pace of American football is to slow because of the commercials. The NHL does better by limiting commercial breaks to 3 per period (first stoppages in play after every 4-minutes, 10-miknutes, and 16-minutes of game clock time each period). And just to repeat; I may not be a stereotypical American, but my issue was that the race was boring. I have no problem watching from lights-out to the podium ceremony, if the race is interesting. I don't find watching mid-field and back-markers entertaining...
@@dicki97 If someone is willing to sit through 39 commercials for the entertainment, that would indicate a much higher attention span, so not sure what your point is. There is just far less happening in F1 when compared to a series like NASCAR where the cars travel in a large pack most of the time.
@@dicki97 that really nothing to do with what was said... I believe his point was if it wasn't one team dominating over and over, then it's some other team. Makes me think of the Premier league and how... how many different teams have won in the last couple decades? Also, american football requires a long attention span, as it's really a game about attrition IMO. Of course it has it's big highlights and plays, but the game is really strategic and about setting a pace. Time spent possessing the ball tends to equal victory. Every sport is cool when you really get into it. I think basketball is the coolest, but some people hate it.
A second part about Red Bull, and how their entrance into the football space has been so roundly criticized (not sure how hated Bragantino and New York are, but Salzburg and Leipzig are absolutely hated) would be pretty nice
Bragantino has a small fanbase here in Brazil, so most of the teams and media ignore Red Bull. It's evident that the team is better managed now than before, and with less money, they are usually among the top five in the national league (although they have yet to win anything relevant). Overall, I would say Red Bull has a positive image in Brazil. I don't know any Bragantino fans myself, so I can't say for sure if they liked it, but it was a second division team before Red Bull acquired it, so probably yes.
Great video and very well put together! However there are a lot of missing pieces to do with why Red Bull are dominating that haven't been touched on here - as well as why it isn't a bad thing
A brief summary to the answer of the questions at 1:19: How does RedBull dominate F1? They dominate with a combination of 4 factors: car, driver, team, and competition. Without a fast car a fast driver and good team will be like Aston Martin never able to get wins. Without a good team a fast driver and fast car will be like Ferrari always making mistakes costing wins. Without a fast driver the car’s potential won’t be realized; (Perez finished so far being Max it looked like he was in a different car). Therefore if the competition is lacking in any of those 3 areas then they’ll never fight for the championship. Wins occasionally but never the championship. Is it a problem for the world’s fastest growing sport? Both yes and no. Since the beginning of F1 there has always been a dominant team or driver. Whether it be over a single year or multiple years there’s always been dominance. So this is nothing new. But it’s not good for the non racing fan. A racing fan will always watch the battles for p3, p7, even p19; because they love cars racing against each other. And that’s not dependent on position. The casual fan will watch for the racing but mostly for the headlines. Who’s winning, how close is p1 and p2. Anything else is boring to them, and since F1 is marketing to the casual then yes it is boring. And will ALWAYS continue to be until F1 becomes a spec series. Where all the cars are equal, and the team matters less.
I agree with a lot of the comments here that Max is an incredibly talented driver, but something really has to be said about the designer of the cars, Adrian Newey. The man has been designing F1 cars since 1988, and his cars have helped drivers win 13 driver's championships and teams win 12 constructor's championships. It's not just Max, it's the combination of one of the most talented drivers on the grid with one of the most talented designers in the paddock.
His entire family and connection he has is entrenched in racing. His girlfriend's family for instance has a 3 time F1 world champ as a patriarch and a Formula E champion, his uncle, cousins are racers too iirc. As a young child his dad was friends with 7 time world champ Michael Schumacher whom they were really close to. Like bro is practically built to go 200+ kmh
@@-socialcredit All that is true, but his parents were *not* racing legends. Sophie was a good karter, Jos barely managed two podiums in a car that won half its races. Racers yes, legends no.
Imagine this: DRS was available to every car other than the one in first in f1 and the DRS gap increases for a car the lower down in positions you go. This means that the whole pack of cars are constantly closing in on each other turning it into a more competitive race.
While the idea is maybe good for middle pack battle, it still won't change max win dominance. Just remember max has lead so many laps during ground effect cars era meaning that he got no DRS help at all during the race and still won by quite huge margin.
@@ardijanuar2036 His car and his level of talent should not be disregarded by the "new DRS" system. It should just be enough so that he cant pull a pitstop distance over the second car in 15 laps. We are trying to bring the cars closer to each other not make them equal. But I do understand your point
Now you did a video on something I've been following for 2 decades, I notice the mistakes & easily avoidable inaccuracies. Makes trusting your other videos more difficult for me.
Max's dad is so jealous that his son is legendary he's literally trying to destroy Max's legacy. What a total knob and loser former f1 driver who couldn't even win 1 race.
Good video in the main but you omit a lot of basic and important things to note, and get some odd things wrong. Like that random clip of Max Verstappen passing teammate Sergio Perez with DRS. Why include that as proof of how quick Verstappen is? Anyone can overtake with DRS against a sitting duck and including stuff like that in your video kind of undermines any credibility you bank with the good aspect of this video.

Honestly, great content. Well put together in clear and understandable language. Thanks
Let's be clear. Adrian Newey is breaking F1.
This man is setting benchmarks of my expectations higher with each video, i hope the streak continues
The other things about Max and why his pairing with Red Bull works so well are:
1. He practices racing all the time. With the sim and on track.
2. The RB car is prone to oversteering and he does really well when placed in a car with lots of oversteer.
Hilarious watching him whip everyone on racing sims until 3AM before winning pole at Saudi GP
0:54 smashed 👍 so hard I cracked my screen 😁
The collab I didn't know I needed. Well played, Sam 🎉
I love this content, deep dives into the actual dynamics of the sport rather than just reviewing the winners and losers
I always liked the editing style on this & Johnny's channel, and seeing you guys cover F1 is such a treat!
👋This is just our first of many F1 videos to come. Couple things I should clarify:
1. Mercedes did indeed win the "Constructors (or team) championship" in 2021, Red Bull won the "drivers championship". I should've clarified the difference between the two. (TY to those that pointed that out)
2. While Red Bull is winning everything on the track, they are doing their very best to lose Off the track 👉 twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1765745906194759743?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

You also clearly used footage from between 2014-2016 era cars when you mentioned 2020 before showing a picture from 2021. BWT isn't a team, they just sponsor Alpine. A lot of this video just seems like surface level stuff and assumptions
You didn’t mention how Honda’s development of the power unit PU before the engine freeze. It’s the best PU
Mercedes also won the drivers championship in 2021 as admitted by the fia breaking the rules
Good video overall otherwise 👍
You mean british tabloids are taking veryvweak sources and do anything to take down rb/max because of their boy hamilton. They are alsonwinning off track shown by them being p1/p2 in bahrain. Alpine is losing off track , losing senior staff is losing off track. Rumours are part of f1.
In the 2021 Formula 1 season, Mercedes secured the constructors' championship title. However, they were robbed of the drivers' championship by the race director, Michael Masi, who as inconsistent with the rules and regulations thus was later fired.
This is one of the most beautifully animated sports explainer video I'd seen ever. ❤
Why are all of the youtubers suddenly starting to push for Formula 1?
He literally said at the start of the video that, F1 is the fastest growing sport
Why am I just learning about this channel? Keep up the great content
SP is slowly becoming my favourite channel and i like it.
Red Bull 2022-present
Mercedes 2014-2020
Red Bull 2010-2013
Ferrari 2000-2004
Williams 1993-1997
McLaren 1988-1992
I can keep going. This is what F1 is and has been for a very long time; sometimes, there are two dominant teams (McLaren and Williams in the 80s and McLaren and Ferrari in the late 90s, for example), otherwise it is usually one team ahead of the others with blips along the way. 2005-2009 was more competitive but at the end of the day it was still mostly Ferrari and McLaren, plus Alonso in a Renault.
Newer fans need to understand this as seasons like 2021 are very rare.
This is the type of comment I was looking for!
Don't forget that Adrian Newey, the head designer at Red Bull Racing is a specialist when it comes to ground effect, the principle that is used by the floors to "suck" the cars down on the track. Newey graduated in it at university in 1980.
Sam you are a legend!!... this is one of the only channels on RUclips I always monitor for the next new video upload
thank you! we'll be back in a couple weeks. Thanks for watching!
Sick of people crying about Red Bull. Mercedes dominated for a decade
yeah but the difference other people still won in mercs dominance so it was still fairly interesting
People still cried abt merc dominance and merc dominance had interesting years because Hamilton actually sometimes fought for the championship
Yeah, this was my immediate takeaway as well. Coming out of 11 years of Mercedes and redbull gets lit up by the crybabies.
@@chaelicopterhe clearly stated that the difference between the teams is lesser since new rules. Are you deaf?
ONLY ONE HERE CRYING IS YOU ! 🤡
Cool and nicely explained video. That is rare these days! Thnx it was very enjoyable =)
Welcome to formula 1 people. Some of us have been here for over 25 years loving this sport.
(Before drive to survive)
Thanks for covering it Sam and Jhonny!
I watched entire 2023 season only because of Alonso but seeing testing results of this year it was clear who's going to win the championship. I haven't even bothered subscribing to F1 TV.
Interesting video, but saying Max is the son of "two racing legends" is a wild take when his father competed in F1 for 10 years, didn't even come close to a win and retired more times than he actually completed a race... besides all the problematic aggressive behaviours he's displayed for years haha
😂 Exactly, in fact we all know what happens to children of actual sport legends....
@@maiden5427 ?
Wow. Excellent video SP
Jos is doing his best to fark it up ⛳
what a fantastic video!
I realize this video is just a primer for non-fans, but the cavalier editing is pretty poor. Max passes Perez at the end of the Kemmel straight because he has DRS, not because he's a superior driver in an identical car (though that is true). Plenty of true examples exist of Max being way ahead of Perez on pace, making one up isn't necessary.
Absolutely awesome video, this channel is becoming one of my favorites by each new video.
Absolutely loving all the Formula 1 content from you and Cleo
he also has a sim rig in his plane, the room he stays during the race week, in his house in monaco. the dude also has his own esports team. team redline racing. and last week he stayed until 4am racing .... the same day as qualifying in jeddah. and still got pole position.
originally a vettel fan, and not a fan of anyone in 2023... but the race that seals the deal of me is Monaco 2023. from pole to the race itself, i know from that point that im watching the something special. a legend in the making.
Super helpful video. Thank you!
yea well, 4 months later and the field is all evened out and the American fans can be happy again
Great stuff, hope you get a million subscribers as soon as possible
Well this aged poorly
Checo is making a mockery of all of it; as of this comment after Hungary 2024 he is even in quali results with LOGAN SARGENT LMAO
Thank you for making this 👊
This channel is the gold standard for how good RUclips videos can be
This is the exact topic i was looking up on youtube last week and was hoping search party would do a video about this!
And let's not forget that the RB19 was a car... *_that had limited testing time in the wind tunnel._*
They had a 10% reduction on the time originally assigned (of their approximately 850 hours of testing, they took 10% off, and if you compare it, for example, to HAAS, the last team, which had about 1,400 hours assigned... it is much difference), and even they seemed surprised. That's why in 2023, Red Bull literally told everyone "if we did that in a more limited time, guess how we'll do once we get 100%..."
Adrian Newey doesn't need wind tunnels or computers...
They are just there to check if he got it right.
@@Franky46BoyNot like they need to check.
What i think is interesting is when the drivers were asked what they would do if they wearnt an F1 driver, only Max said we would want to race or be a part of racing as something else. Only other person who said something like that was Fernando who mentioned we would like to be a cyclist. Max is a racer and nothing else, if he isn’t driving a car he is SIM racing and he’s one of the best sim racers in the world too. This guy’s consistency comes from the ridiculous amount of time he spends on track in game.
This didn't age well did it
Japan.....
Why what happened?
Looks like it’s aging pretty well
?
Yeah it was 3 months ago, and basically the day after Verstappen DNF-d. Obviously it was a joke, everybody knew that he will win everything else after that race.
A small mistake at 6:23. Red bull didn't win due to its "high downforce". It won because of ferrari stumbles. In spain the gap was 13.5 seconds when leclerc had his engine failure. And in monaco, well we all know what happened there......
This did not age well
Best new YT Channel by far!!!
Maybe losing the Drive to Survive fans was just inevitable. A lot probably had curiosity from that show but were just never going to have a long term interest in the sport where a single race is almost as long as a season of the show.
Loving this channel ❤❤❤
There's so much missing from here. It's been a problem since the godawful 2009 regulations change, and arguably can be traced back to rules designed in 1994/1995. Driver skill overtakes are nearly dead and most passes are made by drivers just getting in position, pushing a button, and sailing by because you can't defend. Tracks have been ruined, and newer circuits are not made to facilitate the showcase of the skill of the driver. Even that wouldn't be a problem if it was possible for teams to put their drivers on alternate strategy, which was often a key strategy before 2009, where focusing on running in clean air to maximize downforce and tire life could let you win with ridiculous strategy calls. But the restriction on race lengths, the unrealistic specifications that Pirelli has to build the tires to, and the removal of refueling means that in the current day all the drivers will run one of two strategies for 90% of the season (hard to medium tires or medium to hards, just one stop) and unless you're in the top team or bottom team that year your result mostly comes down to where the push button overtakes land you.
There is nowhere left to show driver skill in F1 outside of qualifying and sometimes the first lap of a race. And that would be perfectly fine if F1 did what 60's and 70's era Can-Am did and committed to being a championship focusing on engineering development, but those have become more restrictive since, again, 2009, making it virtually impossible to catch any decently funded and decently ran team that finds an advantage two years before regs start. In other words, F1 has the worst of both worlds: A very limited amount of car development, and a lack of showcasing of driver skill.
People shouldn't have to watch a F1 world champion play video games on the weekdays to be convinced of his skill.

Beautiful video!
As a fan of F1 since the 70s, I've found myself no longer watching races live the last few years, but just fast forwarding through it on my DVR... Even those hosted in the US (that are on a reasonable hour, unlike Vegas) get the DVR treatment... Honestly don't know the last time I've watched a podium ceremony...
Americans have issues watching f1 but can watch nascar/football with 39 commercial no prob. Think its an attention span thing.
@@dicki97 I think most Americans hate ads. So, yea, it may be an attention span thing in that we hate having to watch commercials for products we don't want while we wait to go back to the action.
My issue with last week's race was that it was boring. Max rockets off the line and that's it, game over... Lollipopman F1 Comics take on it was spot on: they could have started playing the Dutch National Anthem before the lights went out.
I don't watch NASCAR, so that stereotype doesn't apply. I do watch IndyCar, IMSA Sports Cars, 24 Horus of Le Mans, and the Tour de France and find the ads on those broadcasts to be very frustrating. It sucks having the action interrupted by a commercial. And I'll be honest, I DVR those just so I can skip the ads.
Since NBC and Paramount/CBS now stream European football without commercial breaks, I enjoy watching those matches (though again, I sometimes DVR things, especially mid-week matches which overlap my workday, just so I can skip the halftime report [Paramount is nice in that they don't even include a halftime report in their replay streams]).
I think the pace of American football is to slow because of the commercials. The NHL does better by limiting commercial breaks to 3 per period (first stoppages in play after every 4-minutes, 10-miknutes, and 16-minutes of game clock time each period).
And just to repeat; I may not be a stereotypical American, but my issue was that the race was boring. I have no problem watching from lights-out to the podium ceremony, if the race is interesting. I don't find watching mid-field and back-markers entertaining...
@@dicki97 If someone is willing to sit through 39 commercials for the entertainment, that would indicate a much higher attention span, so not sure what your point is. There is just far less happening in F1 when compared to a series like NASCAR where the cars travel in a large pack most of the time.
@@dicki97 that really nothing to do with what was said... I believe his point was if it wasn't one team dominating over and over, then it's some other team. Makes me think of the Premier league and how... how many different teams have won in the last couple decades?
Also, american football requires a long attention span, as it's really a game about attrition IMO. Of course it has it's big highlights and plays, but the game is really strategic and about setting a pace. Time spent possessing the ball tends to equal victory. Every sport is cool when you really get into it. I think basketball is the coolest, but some people hate it.
Great video!
Hey I identify myself as a Drive to Survive Noob. How does RedBull never loose?
Other people: Have you heard of Mercedes, Ferrari & Williams?
So much for people catching up 😅. Great animations!
A second part about Red Bull, and how their entrance into the football space has been so roundly criticized (not sure how hated Bragantino and New York are, but Salzburg and Leipzig are absolutely hated) would be pretty nice
definitely
And, as an extension of that, how damaging the multi-club ownership model could be (arguably, already is) for the sport at lower levels.
Bragantino has a small fanbase here in Brazil, so most of the teams and media ignore Red Bull. It's evident that the team is better managed now than before, and with less money, they are usually among the top five in the national league (although they have yet to win anything relevant).
Overall, I would say Red Bull has a positive image in Brazil. I don't know any Bragantino fans myself, so I can't say for sure if they liked it, but it was a second division team before Red Bull acquired it, so probably yes.
This has been insightful

Well done on the 10th Episode! What a milestone 👏🏽
5:53 BWT isnt the name of the Team its now Aston Martin and Alpine is partnered with BWT for this Season.
Great video and very well put together! However there are a lot of missing pieces to do with why Red Bull are dominating that haven't been touched on here - as well as why it isn't a bad thing
Your sponsor is sus
Fantastic video!
dudududu Max Verstappen
Looking forward to more!!!!!!! Thanks search party!
This didn't age well at all😂😂😂
Great video! I've gotten into F1 recently and I didn't really understand the engineering behind why Red Bull are so dominant. Explained it very well!
A brief summary to the answer of the questions at 1:19:
How does RedBull dominate F1? They dominate with a combination of 4 factors: car, driver, team, and competition. Without a fast car a fast driver and good team will be like Aston Martin never able to get wins. Without a good team a fast driver and fast car will be like Ferrari always making mistakes costing wins. Without a fast driver the car’s potential won’t be realized; (Perez finished so far being Max it looked like he was in a different car). Therefore if the competition is lacking in any of those 3 areas then they’ll never fight for the championship. Wins occasionally but never the championship.
Is it a problem for the world’s fastest growing sport?
Both yes and no. Since the beginning of F1 there has always been a dominant team or driver. Whether it be over a single year or multiple years there’s always been dominance. So this is nothing new. But it’s not good for the non racing fan. A racing fan will always watch the battles for p3, p7, even p19; because they love cars racing against each other. And that’s not dependent on position. The casual fan will watch for the racing but mostly for the headlines. Who’s winning, how close is p1 and p2. Anything else is boring to them, and since F1 is marketing to the casual then yes it is boring. And will ALWAYS continue to be until F1 becomes a spec series. Where all the cars are equal, and the team matters less.
I agree with a lot of the comments here that Max is an incredibly talented driver, but something really has to be said about the designer of the cars, Adrian Newey. The man has been designing F1 cars since 1988, and his cars have helped drivers win 13 driver's championships and teams win 12 constructor's championships. It's not just Max, it's the combination of one of the most talented drivers on the grid with one of the most talented designers in the paddock.
verstappen's parents were racing legends?!! like really.?!
His entire family and connection he has is entrenched in racing. His girlfriend's family for instance has a 3 time F1 world champ as a patriarch and a Formula E champion, his uncle, cousins are racers too iirc. As a young child his dad was friends with 7 time world champ Michael Schumacher whom they were really close to. Like bro is practically built to go 200+ kmh
@@-socialcredit i was just referring to the sentence that his parents were racing legends ...not his knowns, connections, or his girlfriend's family.
@@-socialcredit All that is true, but his parents were *not* racing legends. Sophie was a good karter, Jos barely managed two podiums in a car that won half its races. Racers yes, legends no.

Soilent is people! (Couldn't possibly resist)
Imagine this: DRS was available to every car other than the one in first in f1 and the DRS gap increases for a car the lower down in positions you go. This means that the whole pack of cars are constantly closing in on each other turning it into a more competitive race.
While the idea is maybe good for middle pack battle, it still won't change max win dominance. Just remember max has lead so many laps during ground effect cars era meaning that he got no DRS help at all during the race and still won by quite huge margin.
@@ardijanuar2036 His car and his level of talent should not be disregarded by the "new DRS" system. It should just be enough so that he cant pull a pitstop distance over the second car in 15 laps. We are trying to bring the cars closer to each other not make them equal. But I do understand your point
Love this episode!!! More of this pls! Love the little bit of physics and engineering too
Awesome video. Do another on f1!
idk how you guys keep coming up with these amazing video ideas please dont stop!! been my favourite channel since the launch

Now you did a video on something I've been following for 2 decades, I notice the mistakes & easily avoidable inaccuracies.
Makes trusting your other videos more difficult for me.

The video's aspect is gorgeous
Good video in the main but you omit a lot of basic and important things to note, and get some odd things wrong. Like that random clip of Max Verstappen passing teammate Sergio Perez with DRS. Why include that as proof of how quick Verstappen is? Anyone can overtake with DRS against a sitting duck and including stuff like that in your video kind of undermines any credibility you bank with the good aspect of this video.
Wow this was brilliant. Completely factual and honest. Really appreciate this!
