To be fair to Piastri, the poor start wasn’t his fault, he got stuck behind Norris and had no space to move. Still think he should have passed Leclerc and Russel though.
Honestly I love that the teams are struggling to understand why their cars performance is varying track to track. When was the last time F1 had 7 winners in a season? The lack of predictably has been fantastic.
The last time was 2012, where there were 7 unique winners in the first 7 races. In total though, there were 8 winners, with Kimi Raikkonen taking a win in Abu Dhabi.
Mick replace Logan? Do we not remember how Mick broke a car in half? He crashed at least if not more than Logan. Liam Lawson is the correct choice as is seed stream!! Great App!!
Mick wasnt exactly crash free during his time at Haas. More sensible thing would be to bring in Antonelli from Monza and let him get dialled in for the rest of the season before moving him to Mercedes for 2025.
@@yerrie1908 Now that is a funny analysis. Norris still has one free engine allocation....and you think that is a disadvantage, lmao. Do you really think Max can go 11 full races on his current 5th engine when he was averaging around 3 races per engine the 1st half of the season?
@@Craft-oh7uvYeah for sure. I suspect he eased off in the Dutch GP to nurse that engine as much as anything. Let Norris make an unforced error and don’t risk a DNF or penalty from taking another engine. If that’s not the case then he’s lost pace as Checo was only 0.25 sec per lap behind him over race distance.
Maybe Adrian Newy's departure mid season has had a greater effect on RB performance than anticipated. The other machinations within the team are likely part of the problem too.

Another tremendous weekend and championship roundup Elvis, loving the content, can I ask if you think Red Bull have had hidden technology removed that has led to their backwards progression or do you think it is genuinely all McLaren's improvement?
Because of Perez's form I am quite certain that McLaren will win the constructor. As for driver champsionship, it is quite close but I still think Max will win that. It is not impossible for Lando to win it but it is a bit unlikely.
I don't understand the struggle with tire temperatures and degradation. Does this years C3 tire, fore example, have the same characteristics as a C3 in years past? Haven't they been using the same tires and running on the same tracks for years? What am I missing? I don't know where you are but it is quite nice. Lots of beautiful birch trees.
Still think the title is a step too far for Norris. Far too much needs to go his way for him to win or even take it to the very end. Having said that if Mclaren bring another upgrade that works & Redbull continue the current state of upgrade uncertainty..who knows? Especially if Ferrari/Merc/Piastri start taking points off Max.
Got a feeling that 7 points dropped for giving place back to team mate might come back to be the difference. They always say nice guys don’t win prizes
Completely different set of circumstaces, but the DC situation reminds me of Braun's championship. Easily the fastest car at start of the year but others caught up and passed them. It was just damage limitation and nailbiting for them for the second half of the season.
McLaren taking the trophy seems the likely outcome as they're only 30 points behind Red Bull currently. But Norris is 70 points behind Verstappen with only 9 races to go, which means that - on average - he would have to score at least 8 points more than Verstappen each race. That's a lot of things that has to flip his way. One bad race and the opportunity is likely lost.
@@JMO77UK I had happily forgotten about those. There are three left, but with the limited points at play there I doubt it'll make much of a difference.
McLaren should act as if Lando does have a shot at the WDC, even if by a long-shot. No ill-will meant towards Oscar at-all, but I do think the team does need the practice in making the correct decisions and the winning moves.
It is possible for Lando to win a championship. But Lando is dealing with a very consistent Max Verstappen. Can you imagine Lando coming 5 or less points short at the end of the season.
@@F1Elvis It doesn't matter if Oscar was faster than Max if he couldn't finish ahead of him, Max got the maximum points and thats why we are saying Lando stands no chance unless Max misses a race or two.
@@F1Elvis yes, both McLaren could have beaten max. But McLaren still tends to make strategy mistakes. 1 thing is for sure max is not giving any presents to Lando. McLaren and Lando needs to get their heads together cause 1 win in the last 5 races is not good enough. It’s 70 points in 9 races and 3 sprints.
Putting Kimi in an F1 seat ahead of drivers who are outperforming him, or who have won F2 titles in recent years, will shine a poor light on the sport. Even within Mercedes there is Vesti who deserves a shot before Kimi.
@@LittleBigMediaCo I agree with you. I think Mercedes are taking a risk putting Kimi in the works car. Kimi should go to Williams and Carlos should drive the Merc.
@@AndyFromBeaverton I think Mercedes days of dictating to Williams are over, but Sainz has definitely earned a place in a top 4 team .. Kimi hasn't even earned a place in F1. It's the same with Bearman though ... he's got an F1 contract on the basis of 1 drive in favourable conditions for him ... whereas past F2 champions have put in consistent season long results but are outside looking in. Just look at Pouchaire & Drugovich. These manufacturer academies are making a mockery of the natural talent progression that F2 is meant to provide.
Who will take Sargeant's place? Being from the USA, I wish he could have done better - you can be slowish but you can't be slow and crash - do those two things and you will be understandably fired.
Can't see Perez getting replaced until after the Mexico City GP if at all, especially if his relative improvement this weekend is sustained. The prospect of taking Toto's teaboy on must already be sending shivers through that side of the garage and the Williams finance department. Sargeant is an amateur when it comes to destroying F1 cars compared to Mick. I'd go with Lawson, more recent F1 experience and already has a good relationship with Albon from when they were teammates in DTM.
Lando has a chance, albeit a small one of catching Max. Oscar, for all intents and purposes, has no chance. McLaren and Oscar should now get behind him and maximise that chance. Oscar’s chances will come, right now he needs to support his team mate.
Meh, I don't think Oscar had the pace to keep up with, much less challenge, Max. Lando, in the same car, had an almost identical start, and yet, he didn't get stuck behind Max and passed for the lead no problem.

Norris may be a champion but he needs to toughen up. It has been said Albon is to nice and happy go lucky. Lando is the same you have to be a tiger of a person to be champion.

@@LittleBigMediaCo Ha-ha. Sometimes even the most qualified people can be misled. Question! Do you think that Max was pushing the limits during the race, like he always does? Or do you agree with us that the RB team / Max opted to manage the race to save the car's peak performance for another race when they have their setup properly sorted?
American here, as much as I wanted Logan to succeed, he's just not at the level he needs to be. He's done 36 races, Jim Clark only did 72 races, sadly Logan is never going to find more speed. I'd love to see Mick come back and have 9 races in a car capable of scoring points as his Haas was absolutely awful both seasons.
Only die hard Mclaren fans would believe your crazy dream that they could win both Championship titles. In the last race, you knew that Max was given an upgraded floor to qualify & race with. At the start of the race, Max was clearly faster than Lando, then they discovered that the car's setup was effecting tire degradation. During the race, the Red Bull team decided to let Max manage the race to extend engine life, after Lando passed him, while Lando & Piastri pushed their car to the limits during the race. This week end: 1) The McLaren team will be fighting the mid field pack as they are much faster than them!!! 2) While the Red Bull team will cruise to an easy P1 & P2 race day finish. 😊😊 Despite the weather seriously interfering with F1 race results, over the last 6 races, the Red Bull team still have the best car 'on track'.
Given that Max is still finishing 2nd & there's 70 points gap, right now it's a bit too optimistic for anybody to be think Lando can win the drivers championship, the math doesn't add up. But as for constructors champion it sure looks to be going to McLaren unless Checo can perform some miracle. And if McLaren keeps having the best car it'd be criminal to count out Piastri from winning some races.
@F1Elvis Perhaps but Piastri is surely going to win some races if McLaren remains this strong throughout the season, the guy is a phenomenal driver, its just the bad pitstops that keeps ruining his races. And Max's biggest strength is consistency & so 70 pts still seems too much even for Lando. Nevertheless it's going to be an exciting watch to find out the final outcome.
Mick (crash most races) Schumacher would surely be a pointless move by Williams, main reason Haas got rid of him, KMag came back after a year away, and blew him out !!! He just didn’t have what it takes.
Has everybody forgotten why Schumacher was fired at Haas? I find it very difficult to understand that people like Toto keep pushing Mick who has nothing to show from his period at Haas..... except a ginormous repair bill....
Lando must be hoping Oscar pulls his finger out and starts beating max too. The pit wall made him give a win to Oscar because they messed up then used emotional blackmail, think of the rest of the season etc etc yet Oscar doesn't seem to have lands pace. Lando stuck with mclaren through the really bad days but they don't seem to be rewarding him for it at all. I can't wrap my head around this woke attitude at Mclaren one bit!!
This season is more defined by failure than success. McLaren and Ferrari scooping up wins when the other fails. Red Bull losing Constructors due to Checko, and their failure to retain Newey. Merc just failing since 21.
Why are we talking about Jos though? No discussion about what Lando's dad likes or doesn't ... or George's dad ... Jos isn't Max's manager ... why he's still around and allowed in the Red Bull box is confusing to me. My dad doesn't come to work with me, and definitely doesn't discuss what happens with the staff or media.
@@claudiomarangone614 Too many gutter press journos in F1 these days, not enough professionals focussed on the actual racing. SkyF1 has been the worst thing to ever happen to the sport. Even when there's no controversy, their pundits are trying to create it and push tabloid style headlines.

Things will start to get dirty just watch how they bring Perez into play he’s going to be Redbulls blocker and will take Norris out if ordered, as it stands McLaren have the upper hand but they need to start getting both their guys on the podium and Mercedes and Ferrari ain’t to far behind so they could also come into play.
Max drove smart, he could be closer to lando at the end,but why should be as he wouldn't beat lando anyway. It's the same amount of points for second place if your gap is 22 seconds or 3 seconds at the end. But why overloading the engine as you will stay where you are anyway, why risking engine faliure and 10 place grid penalty at next races because of this?
The commentators are bad enough talking about Norris having a chance to win the title. Just stop the silliness and stop talking about it because we all know that it's not going to happen ever in life. I'm talking about the world championship for the driver
Don’t the struggles of even the top top teams, indicate that the current regs are just too bloody complicated? It seems to make the races a forgone conclusion if any team has the less than perfect setup. If even these guys don’t understand what is happening, SURELY there needs to be something done.
@@F1Elvis I understand that but mathematically, Lando would have to win every race till the end of the season and Max would need a couple of real stinkers! I doubt that will happen. Next year might be different however.
lando wont win the title because mclaren told him to give the place back to Piastri. 7 points gone. I feel Lando needs Max to DNF in one of the next 3 races, whilst winning most races until end of season.

Or do you agree with us that the RB team / Max opted to manage the race to save the car's peak performance for another race when they have their setup properly sorted?
American here, as much as I wanted Logan to succeed, he's just not at the level he needs to be. He's done 36 races, Jim Clark only did 72 races, sadly Logan is never going to find more speed. I'd love to see Mick come back and have 9 races in a car capable of scoring points as his Haas was absolutely awful both seasons.
Only die hard Mclaren fans would believe your crazy dream that they could win both Championship titles.
In the last race, you knew that Max was given an upgraded floor to qualify & race with.
At the start of the race, Max was clearly faster than Lando, then they discovered that the car's setup was effecting tire degradation.
During the race, the Red Bull team decided to let Max manage the race to extend engine life, after Lando passed him, while Lando & Piastri pushed their car to the limits during the race.
This week end:
1) The McLaren team will be fighting the mid field pack as they are much faster than them!!!
2) While the Red Bull team will cruise to an easy P1 & P2 race day finish. 😊😊
Despite the weather seriously interfering with F1 race results, over the last 6 races, the Red Bull team still have the best car 'on track'.
Lando and Max had identical reaction times at the start, maybe to much right foot, unless like so many other things that’s computer controlled 🙁
A re-write of the breaking Regs and Redbull drop off in performance. As any NCIS fan will tell you Rule 39.
Yeah in my opinion RB, are not the team at the top now that independent breaking system has been discontinued.
Given that Max is still finishing 2nd & there's 70 points gap, right now it's a bit too optimistic for anybody to be think Lando can win the drivers championship, the math doesn't add up. But as for constructors champion it sure looks to be going to McLaren unless Checo can perform some miracle. And if McLaren keeps having the best car it'd be criminal to count out Piastri from winning some races.
Not sure Max will be able to consistently hold on to second places for much longer...
@F1Elvis Perhaps but Piastri is surely going to win some races if McLaren remains this strong throughout the season, the guy is a phenomenal driver, its just the bad pitstops that keeps ruining his races. And Max's biggest strength is consistency & so 70 pts still seems too much even for Lando. Nevertheless it's going to be an exciting watch to find out the final outcome.
RedBull-Perez-politics-money and not a single popular RUclips channel spells it out
Mick (crash most races) Schumacher would surely be a pointless move by Williams, main reason Haas got rid of him, KMag came back after a year away, and blew him out !!! He just didn’t have what it takes.
Norris needs his team mate to take points from Verstappen in order to win the title.
Agreed
Has everybody forgotten why Schumacher was fired at Haas?
I find it very difficult to understand that people like Toto keep pushing Mick who has nothing to show from his period at Haas..... except a ginormous repair bill....
Not.gonna.happen.
Lando must be hoping Oscar pulls his finger out and starts beating max too. The pit wall made him give a win to Oscar because they messed up then used emotional blackmail, think of the rest of the season etc etc yet Oscar doesn't seem to have lands pace. Lando stuck with mclaren through the really bad days but they don't seem to be rewarding him for it at all. I can't wrap my head around this woke attitude at Mclaren one bit!!
Couldn’t Williams give 3 races to each driver?
They could, but they really need consistency until the end of the season.
This season is more defined by failure than success.
McLaren and Ferrari scooping up wins when the other fails. Red Bull losing Constructors due to Checko, and their failure to retain Newey. Merc just failing since 21.
Why are we talking about Jos though? No discussion about what Lando's dad likes or doesn't ... or George's dad ...
Jos isn't Max's manager ... why he's still around and allowed in the Red Bull box is confusing to me. My dad doesn't come to work with me, and definitely doesn't discuss what happens with the staff or media.
Because people eat it up
@@claudiomarangone614 Too many gutter press journos in F1 these days, not enough professionals focussed on the actual racing.
SkyF1 has been the worst thing to ever happen to the sport. Even when there's no controversy, their pundits are trying to create it and push tabloid style headlines.
@@LittleBigMediaCo
Yes. Their entire team is trash.
@@fgoindarkg Naomi is pure class, Martin knows his stuff, Jenson is fair and knowledgeable ... in fact most of the race drivers turned TV pundits are okay, all except Karun ... it's the "journalists" on that team who are the absolute bottom feeders.
Nice content but video is too long
F1 is at its best when max is throwing a tantrum and losing to his best friend should help 😂
That ain't no English countryside. Looks more like Australia.
It’s definitely England!
I will not be surprised if max takes Lando out toward the end of the season if it’s getting tight.
Silverstone 21 in memoriam
Jos Verstappen should be told where to go, IMO he has destabilised the team!!!
Things will start to get dirty just watch how they bring Perez into play he’s going to be Redbulls blocker and will take Norris out if ordered, as it stands McLaren have the upper hand but they need to start getting both their guys on the podium and Mercedes and Ferrari ain’t to far behind so they could also come into play.
The good old Bottas' trick
McLaren is like a dirty tire shop. Alwsys stepping on their own nuts. Max should send them a fruitcake for Christmas.
Unfortunately 80 % car, 20 % driver. Even midfielders lile Albon, Alonso, 0con, Tsunoda, Hulkenberg and even Bottas can win in that McClaren.
Totally disagree...
Verstappen looses place's, Perez gained a few places on grid, isn't that solid?
Perez started 5th and finished 6th?
@@F1Elvis sorry, remembered wrong.
Max drove smart, he could be closer to lando at the end,but why should be as he wouldn't beat lando anyway. It's the same amount of points for second place if your gap is 22 seconds or 3 seconds at the end. But why overloading the engine as you will stay where you are anyway, why risking engine faliure and 10 place grid penalty at next races because of this?
Keep coping
Wow what ya smoking. Pls share
Exactly, that's what I said...
I think he also was saving tyres and engine performance incase Oscar did pass leclerc and challenged him. Smart racing. Loving the norris win though
The commentators are bad enough talking about Norris having a chance to win the title. Just stop the silliness and stop talking about it because we all know that it's not going to happen ever in life. I'm talking about the world championship for the driver
Don’t you think it’s for tv ratings?
Mick was canned because he was too slow and crashed too much..... why would Williams want to trade what they have for more of the same?
Don’t the struggles of even the top top teams, indicate that the current regs are just too bloody complicated? It seems to make the races a forgone conclusion if any team has the less than perfect setup. If even these guys don’t understand what is happening, SURELY there needs to be something done.
Lando becoming champion is a long bow to draw. A couple of decent races does not a champion make…
That's not why people are talking about it. It's the trajectory of the two teams...
@@F1Elvis I understand that but mathematically, Lando would have to win every race till the end of the season and Max would need a couple of real stinkers! I doubt that will happen. Next year might be different however.
They are cheating at red bull 😅😅😅😅 literal and figurative
Yeah, let's replace Sargeant with Mick Schumacher... another crash prone driver
Mick wasn't that crash prone. Has just runs on a low budget
😀😃😁😆🙂😉😊
lando wont win the title because mclaren told him to give the place back to Piastri. 7 points gone. I feel Lando needs Max to DNF in one of the next 3 races, whilst winning most races until end of season.
Max is in his last engine. This may come to play
