2024 F1 Imola race analysis by Peter Windsor

- Опубликовано: 18 май 2024
- To the backdrop of an emotional tribute to Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger, both of whom lost their lives at Imola in 1994, the Gran Premio del Made In Italy e dell 'Emilia-Romagna produced a grandstand finish, with Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen crossing the line only 0.7sec ahead of McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris. Verstappen had led from the pole and on medium Pirellis looked to be in charge. On the harder Pirellis, however, and as a result of the set-up changes made by the team on Friday night, Verstappen had much less room with which to manage tyre deg as the race neared its close. And Norris - his McLaren obviously at home on the white-sidewall tyres - came right back into the frame. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc finished third, while Oscar Piastri, who started with a three-place grid penalty, finished fourth, ahead of Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and the two Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. In this video Peter Windsor analyses the key elements of the race.

Watching Peter analysing the race is like filtering all the unnecessary info and make the real race resurface again. Incredible
correct
Even Peter's analysis can't justify Lando overtaking Max. In overall race time Max won by 0.800 seconds. As Lando & Max knew that Lando could not pass him, Max paced himself to make sure the tires lasted to the end of the race. Who says Lando's tires would have lasted another lap at the pace Lando was going?
It was a triple crown weekend for Verstappen, P1 in Qualifying, P1 in the Race, and P1 in the Nürburgring 24 Hour iRacing.
norris won driver of the day, max won driver of the weekend
@@elecovanrenss1352driver of the day award kinda like special prizes all the way down to 15th place bottom feeders .
And max equalled sennas record and gets highest win %
Yep driver of the day is meaningless and it is crazy that it actually counts for points in fantasy 🤡
@@BaronXOfficialyes.I remember when Max used to win DOD all the time....then he started winning races.
Max was the difference today. He clearly was the driver of the day..
This race really highlighted the difference between Max and everyone else on the grid. The uncanny way he can drive on the absolute limit of what his machinery can do, while making exactly zero mistakes is what makes him almost un-human-like. Lando did a fantastic job, but it was so interesting to see him have a couple of moments (not crumbling under pressure, just a couple of slightly shaky moments) when he got close enough, even though he didn't really have anything to lose. Max on the other hand drove a perfect last 12 or so laps with worse tyres, trying to add pace while still under threat from the possibility of a time penalty as well. And Max had everything to lose in this scenario. But with the weight of the whole world on his shoulders, he still managed to go into this 6th gear only he seems to have, while still keeping it mistake-free. Truly generational.
Don't F1 cars have like 7 gears though? Hahaha
@@Tjescoo bahahaha good one. I think they have 8 actually =) but "9th gear" just sounds weird
@@TjescooI'll answer for you, I KNOW there's 8 gears in F1.. There ya go; insider info right there.
So glad Peter comes and shows an appreciation for the sport that people of twitter simply do not, love every race weekend even more with him
Catching is one thing , passing something else, especially Max
Ye people argue as if his tyre blow up. We had piastri probably being 0.3 tenth faster struggling to overtake Sainz. I couldnt imagine Max being much different especially looking at how much Norris struggled to stay inside a second.
An extra lap might not even have worked for Lando to be honest
Especially if you're Lando. I've never seen seen and will probably never see Lando racing Verstappen, seems to be too much of a man crush he has on Verstappen. Everytime Verstappen comes up to Lando, he pulls over and let's him through. The only chance McLaren has is to let Piastri take the race to the Bulls.
@@edwardjones4550 Seriously? Every time Max has come up on Lando, Max is considerably faster, having recently pitted (otherwise wouldn't have been behind to begin with) and Lando's McLaren was lucky to be a top 10 car. But don't let your blind hatred of Lando stand in the way of reason.
Lando will always be happy to be second to max he will never pass him on a race Piastri would have
Intense pressure at the end made Max becoming Diamond
What a performance by Max and Lando! Max making zero mistakes while struggling on his tires, Lando making the late charge... I think the most exciting race in a while! Looking forward to more of this!
Agree, the rest of the season could really deliver wheel to wheel action for the lead. Exciting times.
I do not agree. Interesting was last few laps. Otherwise quite a borring race
Lando made a few mistakes following max…
@@jeanpierrecorreia4446 Hardly mistakes. The car was snapping because he was literally having to drive on the edge to catch Max. He was still lapping quicker than Max on those laps
@@broughy23 yes, it is hard to follow in this new cars. but if it was max or hamilton chasing norris on a faster car they would have manage the overtake, that is why they are currently the best in f1: speed is importante but you need consistency to be great. Norris and Charles are reasly fast but they still make to many mistakes…
Thank you, Peter. You are the Boss. My F1 race is not complete without your analysis. As we like to say in Jamaica, "Big Up You self"😂
Jamaican race fan eh? nice fi c yuh bredda! Greetings from the Netherlands.
Ha ha, been more than 20 years since last visit to Jamaica but the next time I do I’m deffo going to check out Dover raceway.
Max was driving the best off every one. That’s the truth.
I really enjoyed the race, and I think it’s great to see the three in the cool down room, laughing looking at the screen, exchanging their views about the race. It’s great that they can remain friends or friendly competitors rather than arch enemies going for each other’s throats.
They are racing each other for more than 10 years now. Russel and Ocon are members of the same club. Think back of Verstappen's post-race push of Ocon in Brazil 2019...
@@2Fast4Mellow more like almost 18 years
Just compare it with the hostilities in 2016.
Yeah. It would be good if SM was as friendly.
yeah it's easy to be buddy buddy when there's nothing on the line. When a championship is on the line it brings the worst out of any driver
Thank you Peter for finally praising Max who effectively won in the 3rd fastest car on the grid, all other pundits have the "If there was a safety car, If this race was one lap more, funny how they revert to IF's and But's in place of acknowledging Max and what he did .... Your the first guy that actually gave Max credit
3rd fastest car LMFAOOOOO the delusion is real 😂😂😂
The RB20 with Max behind the wheel was clearly a league above the rest on mediums and was faster than Lando in the McLaren for the first 20-25 laps on hards. The only reason Lando was able to catch up was because he preserved some grip which he then entirely disposed in the last 15 laps. He literally came on the radio complaining about the fact that he was slower than Leclerc early in the 2nd stint 💀
“Finally praising”, a little unfair. Peter calls them as he sees them, and he has been even handed in this comments ,regarding Max. I do agree whole heatedly with you on Maxs’ ability and commitment to his craft. Amazing driver unto himself.
Just as Jordon, Woods, and Efren was a special treat for a generation to witness,Max joined my list long ago as a role model for focus on the prize,there is no tomorrow.
@@manavkumar6590funny how even Lando said the mclarens were the fastest car. But I guess you know best.
3rd fastest car? Are you sure you watched the 2024 race brother?
Under pressure, no mistakes. Max absolutely smashed it again
What pressure? From Lando?
@@tomlandry932 Oh sorry go watch the weekend as a whole not just the highlights mate !!!! Maybe you will learn something.
To me the story wasn't so much Norris getting closer to Max as he'd still have to pass which probably wouldn't have happened. What impressed me WAY more is how Norris just ran away from Leclerc, that was insane.
at this point McLaren and Ferrari are 2a & 2b, a tier above the rest.. (minus max)
What you are talking about Norris had the best car. Max showed why he is the goat.
@@Haarlemmer81I’m not disagreeing with you. The three constructors are a tier above the rest
@@Haarlemmer81goat he may be but it's so premature... makes his hardcore stans look a little kooky.
@Haarlemmer81 Lando didn't have the best car; you must have been watching a different race. The Red Bull was much quicker on the Mediums, and the McLaren was only a match on the hards. Lando could only attack Max because he had saved enough of his tires.
The quality of driving of Max is beyond this world…. Look how Perez delivered in the same car.
Perez is a very average driver, Max is top tier, trying to compare them is pointless. It is like comparing LeClerc to Bottas, at this time the equipment isn't close enough to even bother mentioning them in the same sentence.
Pace of car is the quickest time not the slowest. Perez is under driving the car.
@anubiam3004 perez is no Norris but Perez is not a bad driver certainly not Average.
Look at how he was passed out at the stroll team that was zo undeserved like sainz now with Ferrari.
Perez would smoke Bottas.
Don't forget also what it does to someone driving next to Max. Nobody on the grid wants to be the other driver next to Max.
@@Haarlemmer81everybody on the grid would want Perez as the other driver. No spin zone.
@@anubiam3004 Mate you have no clue what you on about Perez is the best traction and defense driver on the grid IOW one of the best Nr 2 drivers out there ....Peter Windsors words not mine. I don't think you have any clue how difficult a Newey car is to drive. "Loose is fast"!!!!
A great ending to the race, 2 drivers on the absolute limit! Outstanding from Max bringing this home, and it looks we will be getting a lot of close races this season!
Getting close to max is one thing .... to pass him is an other story 😏
Hmmm
With that grip advantage it would seem quite easy. McLaren don’t have enough DRS to slam dunk but all that grip would make for an easy brake maneuver.
Habit of you don't pass or we crash, at least historically. Maybe that only applied to Lewis in Max's more wild days.
@@f.kieranfinney457but as u can say in earlier stage piastri was unable to pass sainz even though he was faster so nahh nd also he would nt take unnecessary risk especially with max
Just keeping up with a car close in front is difficult for any car/driver currently. catching maybe easier
The briljant part during the interview:
Lando: With two extra laps I would have won….
Max (thinking): If my mom had balls she would be my dad!
Stop repeating after other people 🤡
There where no 2 laps more. He lost
Brilliant 😂😂😂

Looooove your analysis @peterwindsor, I keep checking for when they are out!
All these comments, if he had 2 rounds more, he would won. BS, there were no more rounds! He didn't win. Max won, thats it, nothing more.
The only comment one can make in response to "If there was a lap or two more" is "If my mother had balls she'd be my father"
Great report as always Mr Windsor
Great recap!
Besides the deep knowledge Peter Windsor invests in each and every of his vlogs, what, delightfully, sets him apart of most of the F1 commentators are three salient details, his analytical fairness, which keeps him away from peddling sensationalism, his sense of aesthetics, which is so deeply rooted in his character that he is one if not the only one that will let a piece of music his editing selected, to run its course. Today, once more, an enchanting choice. Thank you!
Ai.....
Agreed. Overtaking isn't everything. Lando reminded me of Mansell in this race. Suddenly coming alive, when one thought all was said and done, to give us a thrilling finish.
Great report as always with nice music at the end.
Would be nice if the music was also mentioned at the end or in the description.
Keep up the good work 👌
Edit: thanks for mentioning the song (s) 👍😎
This weekend showed exactly why teams need the practice sessions. In order to show their strongest team performances.
Amazing how the whole team on the circuit as well as in the factory have worked to turn a bad start around.
Exactly. It’s a beautiful thing to see, a team progressing session by session and in the end nailing it.
I've got one word for this race...BORING. It was just a procession with hardly any overtakes, no safety cars and a pit lane that takes too long to invite a two stop strategy. BTW there is no way Lando could have got past Max. Once you get close your tyres degrade at a rapid rate and at this boring track it's almost impossible to pass anyway.
@@simonmiller5118exciting as hell, not boring at all !! I watch f1 for over 30 years now but watching Max race / qualify is exciting enough. Jmo✌️
@@maxheeringa753i dunno how in 30 years you missed Alonso v Schumacher at this track???
@@simonmiller5118 It was very close racing between multiple teams. What more do you expect? Last lap overtakes for the win every race?
Great stuff as usual !!
I loved the music at the end. So relaxing.
People who diss max obviously have a chip on their shoulder. All u have to do is look at the driver of the day award at every race. Surely this should have been one headed in Max's direction yet lando landed it at 30 percent vote. It's so comical that if you even had to change this to "drivers of the day" and max had to win the race, he still wouldn't win driver of the day. I think they should scrap that award. Martin bundle, I believe, secretly would actually agree with what I have just said. Anyway on a great note it was a fantastic race. It felt so old school. One to remember definitely.
Yes I was thinking the same, he had a bad start to the weekend, his car wasn't fast or stable like before, being second fastest car or atleast 3rd fastest in quali he put it on pole and then won a race with so much pressure at the end... And yet the guy who had perfect weekend with the best car on the grid couldn't put it on pole, couldn't get the move done in turn 1, closes the gap yet too far and he gets the driver of the day for being P2 in the fastest car of the weekend.
I do agree with you. BUT hands up those who remember when Max wasn't winning races. He seemed to be DOD every week. I guess the DOD is all about relative performance. Absolutely nothing to get nickers in a twist over.
True, but Max doesn't care. You don't an extra point for driver of the day anyway.
@@craz7644 EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY. All driver of the day is, is a popularity contest according little teenagers I assume that don't understand the sport. Pathetic man.
@@sbGOM it just reminds me why I'm no longer on Facebook. It's just seeing these pretentious knobs ruin anything based on actual measurement. The clue is in the title, "driver of the day" 😂
This is by far THE BEST commentary on F1 anywhere.
Amazing knowledge and insights... Peter Windsor is so good!
The tow… it’s just a SkySport created issue. Happens all the time
Btw.. classic circuit, classic format. What more do you need besides some smaller lighter cars
As shame, they had to put a chicane in at Tamburello.
There’s actual data on the tow. It’s a data created issue, one might say.
@@Karma2Babylon🤡
I thought that the Italian camera coverage of the race was poor.
It was art, or even fashion, as they'd call it themselves 😅
They were checking
It is the FOM tv director who calles the shots. Monaco was the last of the independend F1 productions.
Ofc they made something about the hulk tow, its british media and they would come up with anything to belittle something done by max, happens every time. Naomi actually said, Should max really be driving sim on a race weekend? Like she knows shit about being an F1 driver.
📦 ✅️
How dare you criticize the diversity hire!
@@wreagfeDEI boeing
@@wreagfecannot stand that woman, literally all that is in my head every time I see her on the tv is “you’re there for one reason and one reason alone, plz shut up and let someone else speak.” Although, the way sky is hiring people lately there’s only a few of them I enjoy listening to now. Martin, Ant & Karun are the only ones that I can tolerate. It’s just become an insufferable diversity circle jerk of Brits subtly throwing shade at max/alonso and worshipping Lewis/lando.
And what the fuck do you know about being an F1 driver?
On the mediums Max was much quicker than Norris, but on the hards Max struggled to keep the tyres in the optimal temperature window. Let’s see if they can get on top of this issue.
It was the same story as in Miami where Red Bull also struggled on the hard tires.
Even Checo was quick on the mediums....briefly.
@@sbGOMCheco is often quick. Briefly....
Great analysis
Pundits wouldn’t know a good lap if they drove it themselves lol
Always love to hear your thoughts Peter
Nice one, as ever.
To this day we miss your killer grid walks
Great review and I agree totally about the tow from Hulk. You would think from Ms Schiff & crews' comments that Max might never have won a championship without that monstrous tow from Hulkenburg!
Thank you Mr. Windsor.
Quite enjoyed the outro😊
Thanks
Lando gets Sharper & Sharper ❤. Stronger teammate = Maximum info gain & Maximum focus. Teamwide.
Winning in not the best car with a lot of pressure on Max is just brilliant.
Like in '21 👍

@@karl8805Are you off your fucking rocker? You can’t defy the laws of physics; Verstappen is an F1 driver, not a wizard 💀
We absolutely loved your brilliant comment (in your 'sun glasses', 45 minute shared analysis podcast) where you suggested that the FIA / F1 management team asked the RB team to 'Sandbag' this weekend to increase F1 viewer ratings. Ha-ha
Hi Peter, I've just found your channel and subscribed. This is a great video with level-headed commentary.
Do you think the success of Yuki's undercut played a part in the pit strategies? I guessed that the good teams would follow suit with an early pit and naturally Ferrari being allergic to good advice would stay out longer, and lo and behold they did and Sainz went backwards.
Given the struggles Max had, he should have gotten driver of the day. Lando getting it only for the last 8 laps?
My guess is the mclaren is just better with tires
Impossible, they give the british double votes. Driver of the day is the most biased trophy and hardly hold any significance in the sport 😂
Max never gets driver of the day. And I’m sure doesn’t care. Now if it came with points….
We're always cheering for the underdog...
Mate Max wont get driver of the day even if his the only car on the grid People like to hate the champion even if he outperformed the RB20 this weekend.
Can anyone explain to me how Max Verstappen was in track limit trouble most of the race when track limits were never mentioned for another driver, although we saw many of them go off track while the worst thing Max did was miss the second apex of a chicane by a meter? Also, I'm getting tired of this claim that Lando got a better start. Watched it three times with three other people. Nobody could see this better start by Lando Norris.
They never showed the times Max went of
Lando got a better initial reaction but then got wheelspin. He said that during the podcast in the cooldown room.
Just an observation, when Max came in for the pitstop I thought… why? His tires were still ok, all others fall back in traffic, so why not a few extra laps. I think RB did left here some on the table.
Before he was called in, he literally said to GP on the radio "the tyre is f***, why are we staying out??". After that the choice was to either call him in for the pitstop inmediately or risk having your driver angry with bad tires losing time on track.... And Red Bull sensibly chose the first option.
He was already on his second to last track limit warning at tht time becoz he was sliding all over the place
Agree with the track limits. Also, Max came out of the pit swith a clear track that allowed him to get the Hards up to speed and few overtakes needed. Stays out longer, and he potentially leaves the pit into traffic.
Fun race
If his tires a were still ok, he would definitely not have pitted dude. The fact he did should have alerted you to the fact you missed some information on the state of his tires.
This race says a lot about Red Bull in a different way. Given hell last year‘s car was a killer, it would’ve been easy to rest on their laurels and stay with that one with perhaps a few minor improvements. But instead they took a lot of risk and made major improvements. If they hadn’t done that, they would have lost a couple of races already. So kudos to them were never letting up as a team
I loved the trio sharing the podium.they will rule over F1 for the next generation🔥👌💣let's not compare them too much but certainly enjoy their work.
The excuse for bringing Russell in was that his tyres would be finished before the end of the race, but is that supported by the times? Maybe Mercedes just wanted to get the extra point for fastest lap, which meant bringing Russell in; had they brought Hamilton in, he'd have finished behind Perez..
Max proving why he’s a champion.
Meh, i really didnt see anything from Lando to make me agree with his statement that hed have won in another one or two laps. Sure, Max was working with low battery and bad tyres, but he still stayed out of DRS range with his superior skill, and the reaspn the gap was under a second was because Max was letting off during the final lap. Catching up to Max enough to SEE him isnt nearly the same thing as actually PASSING him. Despite not needing to, generally speaking, the last few seasons he still knows perfectly well how to defend his position and place his car exactly where it needs to be to prevent an overtake. MOST likely, Lando (who WAS driving a fantastic race) would have been forced into making a very bad decision and ruining his race if he ended up wheel to wheel with the Dutch deity...as Max would have forced him into trying to overtake at points that are really not advised to attempt and Lando most likely would have attempted it in effort to outdo Max and fucked his car into the gravel or something. I mean Lando is driving extremely well and that McLaren looks to be stamped in as the 2nd best car, likely much closer or perhaps even a bit better than the RB20 but lacking Max in the driver seat...but thats still quite different than saying hed definitely have passed Max, especially considering Lando was on old tyres as well and Max would absolutely have not only defending fiercely but also putting the hammer down. Still a very nice result. No shame for Lando with that result.

@@RepaSre Thanx for sharing!
Hi Peter, on that 30% battery issue, what does "more clipping" mean?
Great stuff from PW, imho
Intense pressure! Great race! Thanks so much for your great info! I wouldn't understand F1 without your help.......
Oscar Piastri drove exceptionally well; without the unfortunate penalty and Max Verstappen's slipstream benefit, he could have won this weekend, as he was the fastest driver overall.
I think Mercedes's problem lies in their windtunnel because Aston Martin uses it as well and they also struggle with their upgrades that do not work as it should. Both teams are struggling with correlation between the windtunnel data and what happens on track.
I agree. When McLaren built their new tunnel all of their upgrades correlated. But it seems that under this set of regs mercs tunnel does not tell the whole story.
What is that wonderful guitar piece, ending this report?
👑 Max the greatest since Schumacher and Alonso
Might even be on Hamiltons level one day ;)
Max is the real goat.
@@michelnijhof9802 💯
Peter, the difference in finishing of the RB cars, is it more down to the drivers? In previous races, we have seen 1,2 finishes , so why such a difference in this one? Is it safe to assume the two RB cars are virtually identical?
Thanks and love your show!
Much of differences between the car lies on how they were set up.
And that still reflects on the drivers ability to understand their car, adapt it to their driving style, and run it to their fullest potential given the compromises they made during set-up.
What a race. It was pissing me off big time thinking that they are staying out for a safety car rather than racing and how it would just wipe all the times gained by the drivers.
An interesting comment by Andrea Stella about Lando that he has become a bit of a master at tyre management and that is a key component of Landos success and now he has that belief that he can win races. Horner commneted on two drivers Max and Lando at the top of their game. Great drive of course by Max and the win lets hope its gloves off for the rest of the season.
Competition is getting intense
Applied at the next race he starts. So you don’t get a grid penalty for just this race, if you can’t start for some reason you will still have to serve it the next race you actually do start.
When I observe still photos of F-1 cars, it appears that a lot of heat is coming off the cars. I wonder how hot they are and the driver's cockpit?
While some content creators have been saying that Perez' results justifies his seat - this race was the example of all previous seasons with Perez. Perez always gets lucky with a few P2's or a race win, but when it counts, he just can't perform. He doesn't perform when he needs to. Especially with both McLaren and Ferarri collecting huge numbers of points, Perez is failing hard.
I'd say that if Max wasn't there, Red Bull would be P3 now in the constructor's leaderboard. If Perez isn't collecting podiums until the Summer break, I wouldn't even bother giving him another contract. Red Bull's competitors are just too good and too close. Let's not forget that Aston Martin gathered a lot of points at the start of previous year and then dropped back. Now, those points are going to Ferarri and McLaren.
he will do better in monaco im sure. thats also gonna be a race where max is pretty likely not to win, because with the rbr’s tyre deg compared to the ferrari and especially the mclaren, he’ll have to pit earlier and might be in traffic. the others, probably norris, can go long and overcut max. its gonna be a great race where perez needs to prove he can perform even when other cars are closer.
My first thought was that Max should've never needed to defend against Norris if Perez did a good job of holding him up instead of letting him by after a lap or two. Perez simply isn't doing what he needs to atm
@@Evarakeus yeah, the fact that he didn't was so stupid!
Epic performance by Max, who again is not driving the fastest car, but every time comes on top.
Russell was called in to get the extra point for Mercedes for fastest lap,
Any reason why Lewis is getting outperformed by Russell.
LH? Well, lots of fashion shows, lots of soy at lunch and dinner and woke issues
In time: I will no longer buy a Ferrari....
The pitted GR because LH closed gap from 9 seconds to 3.5 seconds during the race. They would have been racing each other.
So better to pit GR and get fastest lap point too. Instead of race each other
The second red bull not mentioned (and why would it be)
Max controlled the pace.
Lando was not even close enough to even try a single sniff for an overtake. Saying that Max had to fight, without even a single attempt to defend or overtake, oh come on... Media trying to hype like we witnessed some pinnacle of racing. While someone like Oscar been breathing down Sainz neck for how many laps? being basically 0.500s behind putting real pressure.
How would racing be if tyers would only last for 15-20 laps?
What is crazy about Max's domination right now is; the margins are so small yet he finds a way to be on top.
It ended great. But it was mostly a sleeper.
I have thought for a while that McLaren have a truly talented driver lineup and in one sense, they way they have pushed each other to be better, possibly the best pair on the grid. Lando may not have liked the pressure initially but he is a better and faster driver for it. Ferrari may have pulled off a marketing coup in signing Lewis but there will be tantrums at Ferrari next year and i am not sure Lewis will find having Charles alongside him all that comfortable.
What is mode 7 on the RB all about?
Okay... can someone also speak about the elephant in the room? How did Norris get sooo much pace suddenly? He was speaking of not having pace, he was being easily caught by leclerc and suddenly magic happens... where leclerc who had that steady pace till the end of race where he was about 10secs away from max brought it down to less than 6 secs which explains yes Redbull was struggling on hard tyres but this McLaren pace was unbelievable. Can anyone please explain to me, someone who was falling back each lap suddenly gets to catch with not hundreds or tens but in seconds over the last laps please.
It wasn't seconds a lap. 0.4 was still a considerable margin. Lando doesn't seem to over cook the tires early (staring at you Piastri, although with doing the undercut it was justified in this situation.) Being in front at Imola is almost like Monaco unless you are completely broken, you aren't going to have much trouble holding somebody up in a competitive car.
what i think happened, is 2 choices. 1 norris lied. and actually did had the pace, but basically tried to drive same speed as ferrari and verstappen to save tires, then got the go from the team to go full out because the tires could handle it. we saw this at miami as well when norris drove away from verstappen pretty easily on the hardtires. on the mediams norris and verstappen had the same speed in miami. difference was the hard tires. or choice 2. they have a party mode in that mc laren and are cheating :) but anyway fact is. the mc laren rules on the hard tires, that is what sets the difference between the mclaren en the redbulls at the moment i wonder how this happens. i do not think this is a coincidence.
It goes back to the start of the race where Lando's engineer is telling him everybody else is using a lot more tires.
F1 racing is all about tire management, it is an endurance race for tires ;-)
Looks like mclaren attacked a bit too late, great race 👍
Yeah, i was a bit surprised by them all jumping on the tow-train, the F1 channel on here putting a video out on it, and some Sky Sports people even calling Oscar the quickest.
And yeah, it was a bit weird to hear them say "100% chance", why didn't they just say that it was guaranteed?
I guess they were being a bit tongue in cheek about the stats, but it still sounded weird.
Of course people tried to use the tow thing to tarnish Max's pole. That's the theme of F1 in 2024. Attack, downplay, and repeatedly announce the imminent downfall of Red Bull and Max Verstappen. His historic performance in 2023 made a lot of people upset, hence the relentless booing he gets at American and European tracks, the barrage of 'Red Bull is falling apart' articles on F1 news sites and RUclips channels, the Max to Mercedes trolling from Toto Wolff, the dominos are falling snipes from Zac Brown, the total absence of Driver of the Day votes no matter how well he races, I mean it's relentless.
Ron Dennis was talking about this today on the BBC. We all want more competitive racing, but the mean-spirited way people are acting this year has really disappointed me. I don't recall this happening to such a degree to Mercedes during their seven years of domination. When I went to the race in Melbourne, the crowd booed Max every time he drove past and erupted into ecstatic cheering when he DNF'd. I wish people in the west had the sort of respect for drivers that fans seem to have in places like Japan. And I don't even read Twitter, god knows how toxic opinions are on there. People love to hate.
Ya'll had forgotten that driving under pressure is literally Max' specialty
I miss Peter on the broadcast. I recall Lewis telling him once “You ask the best questions” when asking about the car, rather than his love life.
It’s a shame that RB is so dominant, it would be far more exciting if there were 3 teams and 6 drivers racing for the win, rather than hoping Max breaks or there’s a safety car.
The reason they say Piastri penalty will be applied at the next race is to ensure the penalty will be applied should a driver not start the race at all. They always use such wording. I believe Button still has an outstanding grid penalty.
Regarding Adrian Newey going to McLaren, Zac Brown said pretty definitively that it would not happen on a recent podcast (Beyond the Grid). I would say it’s Ferrari, or maybe Aston for Newey
1:45 what does "clipping" mean in that context?
When they're running sustainably, they're harvesting a lot, what we call clipping, so at the end of the straights you see the rear light flashing and that just kills your straight-line speed
Out of battery
What happened to Aston Martin (Alonso)? Another big update that didn't seem to work. Last year the same thing happened (later in the season)...they seem to have an issue with the CFD simulations or wind tunnel correlating with the car on the track...
Late tonight with the Monaco day 1 report.
Just a small correction on Mr. Windsor’s assessment of Max’s performance in qualifying that actually better makes his point. The reality is that even with the tow from Hulkenberg, Verstappen was actually up by 0.4 seconds on Norris through the second sector. If Max hadn’t made an error on the exit of turn 19 of his final run, we would be having the conversation about the tow.
The only reason that gets so much attention is the same reason why Max never gets the credit he deserves. Island44 press ruling the sport. Meanwhile max just carries on being undeniable.
@ytwos1 did you listen to the Sky f1 telecast. The same bloke who said Max got a tow actually said that this win was down to Max's superior driving and was effusive about Max's drive today. Ffs. This gets old.
@@sbGOM He said that before the race ended with a tone that he doubted Max would win. I guess he must have regretted saying it now.
@@homfanmate I give up. Seriously.
Driver of the day Lando, who didn't win the GP in the fastest car. Same as last race where he almost lost the GP in the fastest car, but a perfectly timed safety car saved him there. Mclaren should really maximise the weekends when they have the fastest car. Despite the hype they are making too many mistakes still. Not saying Lando isn't a great driver.
Facts.
sorry mate but the red bull was clearly the fastest car, especially on the mediums. norris just didnt push the tyres as hard until the last 10 laps and the mclaren’s degradation was far better anyway. also, verstappen could have won miami if he wouldn’t have made that mistake which cost him about 2 tenths a lap. discrediting norris just because he took advantage of others being in tough situations is hilarious.
I don't get the hatred of Lando. All he has ever done is thoroughly dominate every other driver in equal equipment (most of the time the McLaren he has been given is a bottom of the top 10 car). Suddenly the McLaren is a legit podium contender and now Lando is somehow pathetic or somehow less talented for not winning? News flash unless you were about 1.5 sec a lap faster you weren't going to make a pass today (Imola). In Miami, Lando was on pace (was repeatedly doing fastest laps before his stop, I believe he over cuts Sainze and Piastri without much trouble) for no worse than 2nd and likely would've played out much the same with a hard charging Lando running down Max.
@@user-uc1ny1ns2o Norris wasn't fast enough on medium because they had a very wrong setup to start the race with. He said he would've taken 4 clicks off the front wing, if he had a chance to start the race again.
This is huge, his balance was way off, and Piastri looked faster, but couldn't show Mclaren pace behind slower Sainz. Lando literally said on the top 3 press conference, they didn't do good enough job on the 1st stint. It wasn't Max who was fast, it was Lando who was slow, way slower than what the car was capable of.
As soon as they corrected Lando front wing level on the pit stop and Lando adapted, he was the fastest car on track by far, having the same advantage as in Miami.
Verstappen won a race in the 3rd fastest car.
@@anubiam3004 where did you see any hatred? take you pinky fanboy sunglasses off your face please.
Red Bull didn’t have any data of the white tire.
Conveniently forgot to mention that #washed #blessed had to be gifted Russell's place by Mercedes yet again in order to finish ahead of him.
Maybe he is blessed with a nicely washed contract where he gets that privilege!
Let's put it this way. RBR had the single worst weekend it has had - it's car's performance was far from peak performance with bad setup. They were 3-4 tenths faster on the M tire, but the hard tire was awful. Everyone had more tire deg than they anticipted. Mcl on the other hand had about the best weekend they could have hoped and still could not beat Max (or secure pole) when the RB20 was maybe the 3rd fastest car this weekend. That is where the driver factor comes in, and it matters. The last few laps, Max, while driving like on ice was able to pull the gap where he needed and Nor nearly went off in the gravel a few times cracking a bit under the pressure.
Red Bull still have the fastest car - its just nonsense to suggest they dont. But they are now being pushed to get everything out of it, there is no comfort zone anymore. They didnt mess up set up, they just had to push the envelope - just like in Miami
@@mutleyenghow can you say they were the fastest when the practice sessions were bad, had less tire information and McClaren gaining 6 seconds in the last 10 laps of the FINAL stint and pulling away from Ferrari like it was nothing. The win factor = Max. U blind if u can’t see it.
@@mutleyeng I disagree. They may still have the fastest car at peak performance, but they were far, far from peak performance this weekend. All of the data, short and long runs proved they had only the 3rd fastest car this weekend. The difference was the driver, nothing more, nothing less. Max had a great first stint on the M tire, but was awful on the H and was on ice the last 15 laps. Nor had the opposite and when it counted Max in a slower car was spot on whereas Nor nearly went off multiple times. Let's not forget, in China Max was 1-1.2 seconds per lap ahead of everyone. I'm not saying Mcl hasnt found some pace, but this is more of a case of RBR not running optimally, and thus slower making it look closer than it is. Once RBR get the setup right, they will take a good step forward too. This weekend could not have gone any better for Mcl and RBR had the single worst weekend they could have asked for and look at the results.
Norris was driving brilliantly at the end, sliding around oversteering on completely shot tyres. Great stuff.
yea catching Max on Destroyed tires but you wont Mention that will you ???
@@samwlloyd I didn't see the onboard from Max so didn't comment on it. Maybe he did too, I dunno. What's your problem?
Brilliant drive by Lando! Crazy how much time he gained on Max, and with older tires.The tide is turning. Also, both Mercs ahead of Sergio, oof!
Hehe, Perez is just your average RB second driver from the past... 5 years?
