@@gaycha6589 They are, but Sky makes it seem like: "McLaren showed 2 weekends in a row that they were a match for RB which means McLaren is on par with RB."

@@tubularcandy812 safety car has helped many drivers, many times. Not least of all Max. It’s part of racing. This weekends race could well be d3ciced by SC. Get used to it.
His pressure will come from carlos sainz who has been putting it great performances weekly lmaaoooooooo charles has been dunking 15s+ the last 3 races on carlos and outqualified him in the last 3 too wtf
Pressing Max to make a mistake? Haha...... I did watch last week race, he did not made one..... Maby it is more logical that Lando and Oscar making mistakes.
Mmmm not sure about this. Lando won because of a lucky pit strategy, in imola red bull were struggling with set up all weekend but granted max did say he was struggling on the hards towards the end of the race. This weekend is an anomaly because there’s no overtaking but I’d be more inclined to wait until whatever race is after Monaco before I’d be saying that Miami and imola were not a fluke
Sky F1 try to drive a wetch betwn max and norris friendship,they can stand it that a uk driver can be so close with max than their has been champ.damian hill can also take leave like button& mansel and let some one better take his place behind the mic
He’s alright. They both need better lead commentators imo. I don’t think Alex Jacques is any better frankly. Brundle DC and Hinch are cool. Harry Benjamin filling in for Croft at Imola was terrible, he made seem what was a thrilling finish pretty dull.
It’s simple, and I don’t see why people overlook it. The McLaren is a track specific car, they always say it. They are good at getting heat into the tires on cold tracks and low deg tracks, so if a track is cold or low deg, the McLaren will be good, the red bull is the opposite, it’s great with tire deg but that is bad on cold and low deg tracks because they cannot get the heat into the tires. When we come to tracks after Monaco, with the exception of Singapore, red bull will be light on tire deg but the high deg track or high heat track temp will put heat in the tires, on the flip side it will destroy or overheat the McLaren tires. In imola, people were saying it was hotter than expected on the race day start, this is why max was able to pull a lead and noris destroyed his tires, at the end, the track cooled down and noris was on fire while max was struggling to put heat in the tires. It happened in real time I’m not sure why people over look this, it’s one of the biggest factors of f1, tire deg on certain tracks. If they bring the softest compound to a track, McLaren will probably do well, because it will be a low deg track, unless the track temp is hot, then they will overheat them
It was a fluke and imola was nowhere near as close as people think it was. You need a huge delta to overtake at Imola which Norris never even got close to. And even if he did Max would easily defend on a track that's hard to overtake.
Even Max can make a mistake but what our biased friends keep forgetting is that IF Max makes a mistake then you have to be flawless yourself to capitalize.
Winning once ever 100 races is not good to mke u a potensial champion,sainz&le clarc a better option.u dont hv to win to b champion,just score better than the driver ontop.over two racers miami&imola,max score more points then norris,so hw cn he be a treat to max
Lando won cos of the free pitstop he got thanks to the SC in Miami, otherwise he would’ve been 4th at best. So the win was a indeed fluke cos McLarens Quali was BAD, REALLY BAD. They couldn’t drive a full Quali lap on the softs there without cooking them… The race pace McLaren had was good, their Quali was bad, the result was due to a lucky SC which gave Lando a free pitstop, at least 14sec gifted….which he otherwise would’ve had to regain on track AFTER his pitstop.
😂 Newey wasn’t the one doing that these last seasons anyway…. They had the team reorganized since 2021 to prepare for Newey leaving. Nothing changes. Neweys main focus was suspension not full car development.
Incorrect. RedBull is still the best. The tracks we've been at since Miami are not Real racing tracks. Miami not a real track, Imola great track but quirky, Monaco literally a street circuit. I would judge the pecking order at the Spanish GP.
Antonelli to Williams after the summer break, then into the Mercedes in 2025. Bottas to Williams in 2025....Sainz to Audi or a sabbatical those are his two options and isnt it good to have crofty back, the only F1 commentator
Kimi is so weak in F2….crashing himself out in Melbourne, weak Quali’s and races, nothing to write abt. Early to F1 after not even a full F2 season would be recepy for failure
6-1 qualifying doesn’t translate into race results between them because George sets up his car for the Saturday and Lewis for the Sunday’s race. Exactly why George has “poor tire management” because he does 60 qualifying laps
Enjoy watching Lando & McLaren cars racing a lot but the british medias open bias way of reporting makes me want to see them fail just to harsh their mellow. Except for Hamilton the hypocrite & Damon Hill the woss I've enjoyed every British drivers race in F1, even rooted for Mika & David in their McLaren period but British medias bias is just too much now.

Born in Bristol. 20 other F1 Brit WDCs. 3x more than any other nation. F1 invented in UK 1951. Except Ferrari, all major teams are British, as are engineers and designers. Awkward facts eh? But we are proud of UK F1 heritage.

Fred is a nice man 😅
A creepy man
@@M4NA5 Creepy in a nice way😂
Nice to lewis hamilton.
Red Bull don't need upgrades. They need to figure out why they are having the issue with there car at tracks like Miami and Imola.
Or the rest are simply catching up?
And some of those issues may very well be made more manageable via some small upgrades?

Pressing Max to make a mistake? Haha...... I did watch last week race, he did not made one..... Maby it is more logical that Lando and Oscar making mistakes.
lando and oscar did not make mistakes either ;)
His tyres were in a worse condition tho, despite being younger.
I think even forcing the red bull pitwall will be enough. I have never seen their engineers so stressed on the pitwall.
He did … on iracing he smacked the wall.
He did make mistakes. GP had to tell him he was consistently wide in certain corners and it was losing him time to Lando within those last 10 laps.

Oh no, Croft is back... Earplugs in.
I'd be out of a job if I was as bad as him at my job.
Best thing about F1TV, zero Croft.
He’s alright. They both need better lead commentators imo. I don’t think Alex Jacques is any better frankly. Brundle DC and Hinch are cool. Harry Benjamin filling in for Croft at Imola was terrible, he made seem what was a thrilling finish pretty dull.
Still bigging up Antonelli, are they actually watching his performances or rather lack of them in F2 this season?
Absolutely no talk about Aron who's also in his first full season and fighting for a title. Kimi in F1 next year is going to crash every weekend
Context: Prema have been shite for a while, Judge him against his team mate Bearman who is equally highly rated.

The McLaren is a track specific car, they always say it. They are good at getting heat into the tires on cold tracks and low deg tracks, so if a track is cold or low deg, the McLaren will be good, the red bull is the opposite, it’s great with tire deg but that is bad on cold and low deg tracks because they cannot get the heat into the tires.

Red Bull on back foot ha after 5/7 race win this season.
😆
Acceleration and braking are important here.
Don't make me believe. I've waited for over a decade for McLaren to become a proper threat again and any false hope would probably just end me.
F1 pundits making F1 sound more interesting than it has actually become.
Good to see Sky are on top of their audio always being out of synch!🙉
Glad the regular team are back this weekend.
He hasn't got a clue this is Hamiltons worst track for qualifying
Dont wear a white shirt when you have a beerbelly...
It was a fluke and imola was nowhere near as close as people think it was. You need a huge delta to overtake at Imola which Norris never even got close to. And even if he did Max would easily defend on a track that's hard to overtake.
What will everyone say when Red Bull returns to dominant form?
Max needs a challenger, or he’ll get bored and do something else, so I’m glad he’s getting some pressure.
Max making a mistake??? Keep on dreaming

Internal meeting going outside

It wouldn’t have taken 5 laps for Lando…
He wouldn’t have passed at all, Lando’s tyres were gone too due to the hard pushing. He didn’t have overspend anymore.
And Red Bull doesn't have Newey to give direction for their upgrades anymore.
