He is going to win. Lando won't win every race and max won't finish below 3rd. He's way too consistent. I think he has matched Lando in points since Miami. Why should he lose 70 in 8 races all of a sudden

I think ultimately this braking rule change may have some truth to it, i suspect red bull is designed to be very stiff on the front suspension, and the assymetric braking hack helped rotate the car whilst maintaining a stable front aero profile. ( Essential mechanical oversteer)
Stiff front suspension or low aero for the front wing, probably both. Stiff suspension would help with floor height, low aero would reduce drag (so faster straight line speed) and provide the floor with cleaner air. Either (or both) of those things would make the car consistently understeer, and if they make significant changes to those it will have a massive impact overall on how the car drives and will have other downstream consequences (like lower straight line speed, less ground effect efficiency, more tyre degradation, etc).
Charles deserved DotD, and I say that as a McLaren fan. But as McLaren enjoyer, yes, I am enjoying this. Still can't tell if the car is getting worse, or just hasn't gotten better and we couldn't tell until someone matched them. It took half the year but now Mercedes is good enough to challenge at the right tracks. Maybe they did make a car with no development path. If so, that's wild.
Imagine being Chrisitan Horner and thinking that you're RedBull's secret sauce, not Adrian Newey. You'd feel like a right tit right about now. Horner went full Ron Dennis and RBR is cooked.
I think Red Bull is trying to find where they went wrong. Also, I'm not sure I'd call this an embarrassing defeat. That would be like calling everyone who came behind Red Bull last year embarrassing, when they were doing all they could. It's just the state of things now, with McLaren having a rocketship. I hope, as a Red Bull fan, that they can bring it back, cause I don't want this to just flip and have McLaren 20 seconds ahead instead of Max. I want proper racing. In any case, thanks for continuing to make quality content man. Stay safe. :)
@@KailamiMwiinga So you want the exact same thing as RB dominance, just with a different team? All you want is Max to lose? Doesn't sound like a good fan to me.
Well, I mean it kinda is. McLaren and Ferrari (at the start of the season) brought cars that were essentially RB19Bs. McLaren get upgrading based on that concept, while Ferrari started copying the RB20, such as the massive undercut on the sidepod and others that I don’t remember right now. The rest is history. Data from Hungary show that the RB20 was *slower* than the RB19, and Red Bull was one of only two teams to have a slower car than last year’s. Sauber is the other team.

Of course, but that could have been down to alot more than just him. Like Verstapen losing tire grip etc. whete as the fastest lap on that old tires is all Lando.
ok. Redbull has a massive problem. Ferrari seems to have caught up on race trim, MCLaren is far off in race pace. Mercedes probably has a problem with new floor and may have to revert back to old one and be faster than RB again. Seems like MAX is gonna be flirting with p6-p7 soon. Worst part, if he fights angrily he will crash with norris quite a lot.
@@maxsteel32 Also, I forget exactly, but the FIA said it in a super weird way too, "No team has used a system mentioned so far." Like, its probably not an inertia valve, that never made sense to me. But some other system that had to be removed that would allow asymmetrical braking, like a expandable diaphragm or something
Well, perhaps Redbull designed a car that prioritized other aerodynamic characteristics that overcompensated in some areas since they were able to tuned out under/over steering by using a breaking-bias trick. Now they have to undo those characteristics to balance the car like everyone else.
Thing is,u cant dial out the understeer of these cars,you can just make them more predictable to drive. The brake trick gave Max the turn in he likes and now the car doesnt turn and it slides,image how bad they going to be in Singapore,they lost asymmetrical braking and they are dog shit over the curbs😂😂😂
Great video! 💚 I am finding it difficult to not get ahead of myself as a McLaren supporter but I think it is important because there are some great teams out there I don't want to sleep on. I do wonder what the rest of the season will look like. 🤔
Mercedes was trying to steal the point for faster lap. I like the idea of the point but far too often it is claimed by the 7/8th place runner that has a free pitstop to the car behind. To me this is making a mockery of the system. And kind of scary that Lando put in the fastest lap on the last lap while driving off line in the final corner and on 40lap old hard tires!
They didn't put George for the fastest lap , ( which he never took off Hamilton anyways) George lost a position to checo while pitting They either thought he can gain it back or he had some issue
Why? They deserve the point if earned and are eligible. Points for the middle and lower tier are vital and can be bonus pay for end of year performance metrics. You like looking at bottle ships instead of sailing the real ones it seems.
I'm a Lando fan so obviously happy with the race, but kudos to Max for his drive in what seemed to be a tough car to drive, and for me personally Leclerc/Ferrari driver and team of the day by far. Shout out K-mag for setting up overtake(s) moment of the race 😄
@@imkingelijahBy whom? Scarbs diagram was straight horsesh*t but that ain't the same RedBull as a few months ago - they've had to cut something off that they're now unable to put back on. The brakes are currently the most likely culprit the public is aware of.
@@AvocadoAfficionadothe recent F1 tech talk, go to 1:42. There is no proof FIA asked RB to remove anything and the mechanics themselves confirmed they never used those parts. The reason the RB is having these issues is due to the downforce effecting the balance of the car and the suspension not heating up the tires.
@@imkingelijah you're not reading my comment. It's obvious the car no longer has something it used to have in terms of handling. It's also obvious that Redbull is unable to add this part back to the car for whatever reason or they would have solved their current problem by.. just doing that. What this part is nobody knows (maybe it's just neweys massive brain) but the most likely explanation is that whatever they had to remove is no longer allowed to be placed on the car. What some guy on "techtalk" said is irrelevant. Most people are talking about brakes because that's all the public has heard anything about.. relevant or not.
It's quite incredible to see Red Bull getting things wrong and looking so lost lately. Not just because they were looking dominant just earlier this season but because since they became competitive at the front all the way back in 2009, they've never really ever suffered in terms of losing their way when it comes to the chassis and aero package. It was all engine trouble with Renault at the start of the hybrid era which wasn't really anything to do with them. Seeing them like this lately is really quite strange and bizarre, even if I am quite enjoying it
It's because of their aerodynamic concept. Their main concept since 2022 was to prioritize the strength of the ground - effect floor and make it as low as possible without banging it up so it made their suspension way stiffer and It brought up a kerb - riding weakness since 2019 in slow and medium speed corners. Redbull has basically strengthened their high-speed corner and straight-line performance. Other teams like McLaren and Ferrari fixed purposing issues then went to strengthen the aero floor, RedBull is doing the Opposite
How much do you think Red Bull's deficit is down to the new regulation around assymetric braking? The RB20 used to be super kind on it's tyres, but now Max is complaining about grip more and more. Can you imagine if they didn't have Max behind the wheel - defininately not finishing on the podium today.
@@Randomvideos-zi7peya these regs suck. The cars are big like a boat and handle like a boat. When the cars are nice and nimble you can really see F1 drivers racing at the limit and throwing the car around each corner
@@Randomvideos-zi7pethere have objectively been far more overtakes than pre-22 seasons. Its far from being a 'flop'. And now we have 4 cars fighting at the front, which we havent seen since 2012.
@@Randomvideos-zi7pe Wouldn´t say its a flop, we definitely see more close racing now than the previous regulation, dirty air was a massive issue in the previous regulation to the point where racing was impossible no matter which track it was. However before the new regulations were established, teams did raise the point that with development the issue of dirty air will come back again no matter what FIA decide what to do. Think Spa is a good example of that being a major issue again with Mclaren and Red bull both struggled to overtake even though they were significantly faster than the cars ahead.
Redbull really have to sort their problems out if they want the wdc the wcc is basically confirmed to be McLarens, If lando wins the rest of the races and sprints with 5 fastest laps he will beat max by 1 point even if max is p2 in every race
I think its more of a rule change that happened many weeks ago least 5-6 weeks ago when races were decided by 20+ sec then was 2. Redbull was using something that got banned by the FIA and seems since their cars been avg.
Undoubtedly RB has lost out compared to the other 3 top teams. If it was just 1 of the 3 closing the gap and out running RB, that would be one thing. When all of the sudden the RB is clearly at best 2nd best car, and some race 3/4th, that is a team being out developed.
@@KailamiMwiinga yeah and Lando set the fastest lap on the last lap.. beating Hamilton on a new set of softs .. tell me that’s not suspicious…. Betcha Mclaren is up to some hanky panky
This all happening bcoz of these big reasons 1. The wind tunnel which mclaren now have, it has the most updated technology in f1 industry and it is giving them exact data which is needed to develop car. ( Aston soon will also have new wind tunnel which is another latest wind tunnel lets see how it goes) 2. Rob marshell who was the chief designer in redbull, he and his team knows how and where to put parts inside an f1 car which make the car more efficient. As he worked with adrian for so long and developed car as per adrians vision that knowledge is benefiting mclaren. 3. Mclaren creates there own Gearbox and rear of the car which is the most important part of the f1 car, thats the reason why they are faster than mercedes bcoz they dont use Mercedes gearbox which gives them freedom to create their own suspension setup and other parts. 4. As mclaren is growing and growing redbull choose path to develop a car similar to mercedes last year and now adrian stopped working their other technical head dont have a direction on how to develop this car which is very different from rb19 while current mclaren current car is an extension of rb19 and it is becoming better and better. 5. Now bcoz of cost cap redbull cannot bring their rb19 car bcoz they already invested on current design so there no going back now and they have to continue like this for the rest of the season and hope that max can hold off. This season will go down the wire like 2021 and 2012. Now only max might and most importantly luck can hold lando.
I think Red Bull is doing what Mercedes did early on with testing parts. Mercedes only got it right late in the first half of the season so hopefully this doesn't effect them that much because I wanna see a fight. And Red Bull also need to watch out for Ferrari and Mercedes as well. A scenario that can happen but unlikely is Max can drop to p5 or below and Lando gets podiums every race.
P5 would mean that Max is running 7th each race or the RB suddenly became unreliable. He has built up quite a cushion on everyone. If Lando can in front of Max at each race he has a chance, but 1 bad race (no pts) where Max gets even 15-18points and it become nearly impossible without a lot of help. It looks as though McLaren will stay up in the front pack each race and the Merc/Ferr are more a threat to RB and could create the buffer for Lando to chase Max down. Any given weekend the 7 race winners could win again and it wouldn't be a complete shock to me.
People saying its asymmetric braking, then why its just Mclaren that is quick. Why it is that RedBull suddenly didn't fall off after Miami. RedBull brought bad upgrades and went downhill, even Mercedes team stated that.
idk man, I like seeing different people challenging for wdc/wcc but lando is cocky when he wins and childish and upset when he doesn't still hope, that it'll be close in the end though ferrari seemed to be the second fastest car today, which was surprising, hopefully we can see more from them as well in the next races all in all the best season so far since the regulation changes
@@imkingelijah i don't really care who's winning, if it's many different drivers it's just lando's attitude that i find to be let's say "unpleasant" at times haha
@@ts777bcan definitely see how someone could think that. But I don’t know the guy personally so I can’t comment. Just would prefer Oscar to dominate Lando as revenge for Ricciardo 😅
Lando thrrowing his car through the turns today, using all the track he wanted, Max had to back off and be gentle on the steering. McLaren sticks to the track way more than Redbull. Max from now on will need to pickup max points where normally he only drives to win and hope his team will improve the car..... Max won't like this but F! needed this.... Hope for an epic but fair battle up to Abu Dabi last lap😀
Not suprised if Max ends up fighting Mercedes, Ferrari and Piastri in a lot of races. Norris is not going to win every race, but Max will not get 2nd in every race either. This ain´t over yet.
Was hoping today for Piastri to challenge him at least,but he was very poor today. Hopefully more drivers can challenge at the front the upcoming races,and this will turn out to be a very interesting end for this season.
Lol Singapore i say max will finish p7 at best 😂😂😂 the curbs,the car already doesnt turn and they admit its shit over curbs hahah max to bin it into wall during qualy😂
Like many I have been thinking about why Red Bull have suddenly fallen behind. Sadly I am a complete layman so everyone is allowed to take my theory with a laugh. But here’s my theory anyway. The only way I can think of which would make an agile car as a formula one car resist turn in to the degree showed in your footage is a super highly aggressive differential lock system. If we imagine a car without a differential it would have fantastic traction and extreme resistance to turning. So if we imagine that the Red Bull runs with a very aggressive differential lock it will explain why it’s so fast of the line leaving the McLaren’s in the dust at the start of the races and it will also explain why it’s under steering into corners. And now here comes my second element of why The Bull’s have fallen behind. Perhaps the talks about asymmetrical braking are not related to the braking system as such, maybe they had a differential which could distribute the engine braking asymmetrical which would induce oversteer at corner entry and compensate for the under steer caused by the highly aggressive differential locking. If this is what has been forbidden as asymmetrical braking, then they are faced by either making the car lose traction because they would have to use a less aggressive differential or lose a good turn in into corners. Greetings from Denmark
There is a fair chance that Max will not win the championship this year. Red Bull is imploding and Lando is taking off like a rocket. Remember, there are two sprint races as well, where Lando will probably outscore Max.
Max didn't need to race Lando as he is just managing his position with a slower car against every one else behind him so the gap didn't represent anything since max isn't chasing!
It’s interesting to think we have races like Baku and Singapore that are coming up which RedBull might struggle more at. McLaren seems to be amazing everywhere. I think it’s very realistic to think lando could win the WDC but he still needs to get a hold of those starts
For Lando to win the WDC, he would need to tie the old record of 9 consecutive wins in a row. Riiiiiight! Little Chucky got lucky because of the car. His reputation to dethrone Charles as the pole pisser is still in play.
If this season wasn’t so competitive I really feel like we’d all be talking about how bad Fernando has been. It’s starting to remind me of his McLaren years, where if he’s not running in the top 5 he kind of just gives up. He’s just not being vocal about it. Also, wtf is going on with Sauber my god they’re bad.
Oh come on, It's the Fia focing red bull to remove the asymmetrical braking system . This system helped the car through the turns and also helped the tire preservation. This has also slowed then down coming out of the corners so they don't have that dominant top speed on the straights anymore. They got busted big time but it's been kept pretty quite by the FIA. I imagine Ferrari are pretty pissed at the FIA right now as the made an example of Ferrai quite publicly when their engine wasn't lepgal. They even penalized them the next season putting some pretty harsh restrictions on them. How this wasn't mention in this video is beyond me.
Could it be that Red Bull hit the development ceiling with the RB20 or was their pace at the start of the season just a false dawn?! Anyway, the recent signs are not great news for Red Bull and Verstappen. The car is poorly balanced and is lacking downforce. This is why Red Bull started to put more wing on the car, because the drivers otherwise chew up the tyres even more. To make matters worse, the last couple of tracks actually suited the RB20 and they still failed to win at anyone of them. Now with Monza, Baku and Singapore coming up we will see circuits that don't suit their car (almost no fast corners and lots of kerbs). I'm curious to find out how Red Bull and Verstappen will fair at those.
unless that RB starts blowing up every second time Max races it, I don't think there's a real chance for Lando here. Not to raise conspiracy theories here but the performance drop since FIA's crack down on asymmetric braking seems a coincidence.
In industrial engineering, 90% of the solution to the problem is to identify the problem. In this race, the only difference between the Red Bull car & the Mclaren car is that the McLaren car gives the driver an amazing tire advantage. As the Red Bull team usually has the optimal tire usage, during the race, it's logical to expect the red Bull team will use this races data to figure out what is needed to restore optimum tire usage so that they can bonce back to winning again next week. Ha-ha
Checo is not as bad as people make him out to be. Max is a 120% driver while Checo is a 100% driver. In fact, Checo struggles ought to have been a canary in a coal mine event for the car.
The red bull car clearly was running something illegal. The drop off is to much considering they have added”upgrades”. What they’ve added is a replacement which ain’t agreeing with the car atm
As good as every one else. He could on some tracks be better than others ,they are all evenly matched up. Give most of them a winning car and they will be capable.

I think ultimately this braking rule change may have some truth to it, i suspect red bull is designed to be very stiff on the front suspension, and the assymetric braking hack helped rotate the car whilst maintaining a stable front aero profile. ( Essential mechanical oversteer)
Stiff front suspension or low aero for the front wing, probably both. Stiff suspension would help with floor height, low aero would reduce drag (so faster straight line speed) and provide the floor with cleaner air. Either (or both) of those things would make the car consistently understeer, and if they make significant changes to those it will have a massive impact overall on how the car drives and will have other downstream consequences (like lower straight line speed, less ground effect efficiency, more tyre degradation, etc).
That DNF (brake on fire) may cost RB and Max the entire season
Mayb Lando giving up 1st place might cost him too. Such a dumb decision by them.
more like shunning Newey costs RB this season and probably the next one
@@brentt8940Also the Spielberg dumpster fire that led to Lando DNF.
Or that win Oscar got over Norris could cost Norris the season imagine if lando misses out by 5 points…
Almost at 60k keep up the great job Miki 🤘
great video once again brother!
❤️❤️ thank you brotha
Charles deserved DotD, and I say that as a McLaren fan.
But as McLaren enjoyer, yes, I am enjoying this.
Still can't tell if the car is getting worse, or just hasn't gotten better and we couldn't tell until someone matched them. It took half the year but now Mercedes is good enough to challenge at the right tracks.
Maybe they did make a car with no development path. If so, that's wild.
Imagine being Chrisitan Horner and thinking that you're RedBull's secret sauce, not Adrian Newey. You'd feel like a right tit right about now.
Horner went full Ron Dennis and RBR is cooked.
You do know that Newey had contributions to the RB20 right? He worked on this car from last year so this is also a newey designed car
Randomly stumbled on this video. Great one mate. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you my friend ❤️

I think Red Bull is trying to find where they went wrong. Also, I'm not sure I'd call this an embarrassing defeat. That would be like calling everyone who came behind Red Bull last year embarrassing, when they were doing all they could. It's just the state of things now, with McLaren having a rocketship. I hope, as a Red Bull fan, that they can bring it back, cause I don't want this to just flip and have McLaren 20 seconds ahead instead of Max. I want proper racing.
In any case, thanks for continuing to make quality content man. Stay safe. :)
it was embarrassing for other teams last year
We haven't had proper racing in the front since 2022 thanks to RB... As long as Max doesn't win a WDC I am happy with the Mclaren gaps...
I guess you also wanted proper race when Max was leading by 30s. 😂😂
@@emsan54 I'm a new fan, so no... I want this to be exciting, not dominated by one team
@@KailamiMwiinga So you want the exact same thing as RB dominance, just with a different team? All you want is Max to lose? Doesn't sound like a good fan to me.
McLaren was crazy good this race. Genuinely insane. It seems like the rb19 except with the McLaren
Lando's was. Piastri was good not great.
they have a good car now, wait 3 races, mercedes or rbr may be back, these new regs are unpredictable
Well, I mean it kinda is. McLaren and Ferrari (at the start of the season) brought cars that were essentially RB19Bs. McLaren get upgrading based on that concept, while Ferrari started copying the RB20, such as the massive undercut on the sidepod and others that I don’t remember right now. The rest is history. Data from Hungary show that the RB20 was *slower* than the RB19, and Red Bull was one of only two teams to have a slower car than last year’s. Sauber is the other team.
Ferrari race was unexpected
Yea they drove the red tractor well

I wonder if Max's driving style would benefit from asymmetric braking and Perez not so much. Seems a bit odd that Max slower Perez much better than recently. Just a thought.
It does
Perez went backwards, again. Looks like you're thinking is more like Perez's driving. LOL

Lando is still mathematically in the championship fights. It’s not the most likely thing. Just something to keep in the back of you mind just in case.

Great video again. What's your opinion on Brundle commenting that Max might have been deliberately a bit slower in the second stint especially?
The part that impressed me was Landos fastest lap.
The 22 second gap wasn't impressive?
Of course, but that could have been down to alot more than just him. Like Verstapen losing tire grip etc. whete as the fastest lap on that old tires is all Lando.
That showed how towards the end he was managing the tires probably not even pushing
ok. Redbull has a massive problem.
Ferrari seems to have caught up on race trim, MCLaren is far off in race pace.
Mercedes probably has a problem with new floor and may have to revert back to old one and be faster than RB again.
Seems like MAX is gonna be flirting with p6-p7 soon. Worst part, if he fights angrily he will crash with norris quite a lot.
Looks like Max was well behaved in the Lando overtake today, so perhaps Max has matured.
Never underestimate the power of the Schumacher, Senna, Prost will to win. It would only take a race to upset the apple cart.
Pretty clear that RBR problem is mechanical (assymetrical braking?) and not aero relating, that much understeer is actually INSANE
It was already stated by the FIA that nobody was using asymmetric braking
@@srthebox4946you believe them? 😂
@@maxsteel32 Also, I forget exactly, but the FIA said it in a super weird way too, "No team has used a system mentioned so far." Like, its probably not an inertia valve, that never made sense to me. But some other system that had to be removed that would allow asymmetrical braking, like a expandable diaphragm or something
Well, perhaps Redbull designed a car that prioritized other aerodynamic characteristics that overcompensated in some areas since they were able to tuned out under/over steering by using a breaking-bias trick. Now they have to undo those characteristics to balance the car like everyone else.
Thing is,u cant dial out the understeer of these cars,you can just make them more predictable to drive. The brake trick gave Max the turn in he likes and now the car doesnt turn and it slides,image how bad they going to be in Singapore,they lost asymmetrical braking and they are dog shit over the curbs😂😂😂
Wild speculations. Do you even know what you're talking about?
Great video! 💚 I am finding it difficult to not get ahead of myself as a McLaren supporter but I think it is important because there are some great teams out there I don't want to sleep on. I do wonder what the rest of the season will look like. 🤔
Asymmetric braking unavailable :/
That could explain why Mercedes has lost its mojo
@@ua697 well for sure have to look into it. Curious to see how it is in a track like Monza where it’s best qualities could shine
After Monza they are going to revert to the RB19.
Congratulations to Lando & the McLaren team for a brilliant race execution.😊
I was most surprised by Ferrari of all teams honestly, the boys drove that red tractor well
Very true
Hard to believe Redbull were dominating beginning of the season
Mercedes was trying to steal the point for faster lap. I like the idea of the point but far too often it is claimed by the 7/8th place runner that has a free pitstop to the car behind. To me this is making a mockery of the system. And kind of scary that Lando put in the fastest lap on the last lap while driving off line in the final corner and on 40lap old hard tires!
They didn't put George for the fastest lap , ( which he never took off Hamilton anyways)
George lost a position to checo while pitting
They either thought he can gain it back or he had some issue
Why? They deserve the point if earned and are eligible. Points for the middle and lower tier are vital and can be bonus pay for end of year performance metrics. You like looking at bottle ships instead of sailing the real ones it seems.
Russell’s tire looked to fall off. Guess he couldn’t whisper to them anymore.
😂
New brake system ?
What team outside the top 4 will improve the most next season? Thanks in advance. Your videos are very informative.
I'm a Lando fan so obviously happy with the race, but kudos to Max for his drive in what seemed to be a tough car to drive, and for me personally Leclerc/Ferrari driver and team of the day by far. Shout out K-mag for setting up overtake(s) moment of the race 😄
Going to miss k-mag
you know its getting bad when verstappen fell onto charles with like 7 laps newer tyres
That understeer is horrendous on the RB. They need to fix their downforce upgrades to help with the balance.
Hahaha see what happens when the asymmetric braking is gone? 😂
@@Awfully_good RB never used those breaking systems. This has been disproven already
@@imkingelijahBy whom?
Scarbs diagram was straight horsesh*t but that ain't the same RedBull as a few months ago - they've had to cut something off that they're now unable to put back on.
The brakes are currently the most likely culprit the public is aware of.
@@AvocadoAfficionadothe recent F1 tech talk, go to 1:42. There is no proof FIA asked RB to remove anything and the mechanics themselves confirmed they never used those parts. The reason the RB is having these issues is due to the downforce effecting the balance of the car and the suspension not heating up the tires.
@@imkingelijah you're not reading my comment.
It's obvious the car no longer has something it used to have in terms of handling. It's also obvious that Redbull is unable to add this part back to the car for whatever reason or they would have solved their current problem by.. just doing that.
What this part is nobody knows (maybe it's just neweys massive brain) but the most likely explanation is that whatever they had to remove is no longer allowed to be placed on the car.
What some guy on "techtalk" said is irrelevant. Most people are talking about brakes because that's all the public has heard anything about.. relevant or not.

Sad to see AM can't beat Alpine
It's quite incredible to see Red Bull getting things wrong and looking so lost lately. Not just because they were looking dominant just earlier this season but because since they became competitive at the front all the way back in 2009, they've never really ever suffered in terms of losing their way when it comes to the chassis and aero package. It was all engine trouble with Renault at the start of the hybrid era which wasn't really anything to do with them. Seeing them like this lately is really quite strange and bizarre, even if I am quite enjoying it
It's because of their aerodynamic concept. Their main concept since 2022 was to prioritize the strength of the ground - effect floor and make it as low as possible without banging it up so it made their suspension way stiffer and It brought up a kerb - riding weakness since 2019 in slow and medium speed corners. Redbull has basically strengthened their high-speed corner and straight-line performance. Other teams like McLaren and Ferrari fixed purposing issues then went to strengthen the aero floor, RedBull is doing the Opposite
Ehm they started with renault?
@@mrthecodguy My bad, brain fade. Of course it was Renault
How much do you think Red Bull's deficit is down to the new regulation around assymetric braking? The RB20 used to be super kind on it's tyres, but now Max is complaining about grip more and more. Can you imagine if they didn't have Max behind the wheel - defininately not finishing on the podium today.
George the tyre whisperer cooked his tyres 😂😂😂
McLaren no longer has to use the Toyota Wind Tunnel and it shows. Forza Ferrari
The dirty air caused by the downforce created by these cars is a lot. The first undercut will always work.
which just showed the 2022 regulations is a massive flop
@@Randomvideos-zi7peya these regs suck. The cars are big like a boat and handle like a boat. When the cars are nice and nimble you can really see F1 drivers racing at the limit and throwing the car around each corner
@@Randomvideos-zi7pethere have objectively been far more overtakes than pre-22 seasons. Its far from being a 'flop'. And now we have 4 cars fighting at the front, which we havent seen since 2012.
@@askeladden450 it is a massive flop when the 2026 car is abandoning most of what the 2022 car is built for. Teams being competitive is another story.
@@Randomvideos-zi7pe Wouldn´t say its a flop, we definitely see more close racing now than the previous regulation, dirty air was a massive issue in the previous regulation to the point where racing was impossible no matter which track it was. However before the new regulations were established, teams did raise the point that with development the issue of dirty air will come back again no matter what FIA decide what to do. Think Spa is a good example of that being a major issue again with Mclaren and Red bull both struggled to overtake even though they were significantly faster than the cars ahead.
Tough day for a Hamilton Fan. But good for the championship. Thanks Miki
Redbull really have to sort their problems out if they want the wdc the wcc is basically confirmed to be McLarens, If lando wins the rest of the races and sprints with 5 fastest laps he will beat max by 1 point even if max is p2 in every race
I think its more of a rule change that happened many weeks ago least 5-6 weeks ago when races were decided by 20+ sec then was 2. Redbull was using something that got banned by the FIA and seems since their cars been avg.
Other teams catching up to you doesn't throw the balance of your car out the window. Whats missing from the RB is obviously asymmetrical braking.
If Mercedes didn't mess up their setup, Max would've finished P4 or P5. The next few races will be a lot worse for Max and Redbull.
Don’t think RB lost as much as Mclaren has gained
RB is definitely lost a huge chunk.. I mean LeClerc was catching Max on older tyres...
Undoubtedly RB has lost out compared to the other 3 top teams. If it was just 1 of the 3 closing the gap and out running RB, that would be one thing. When all of the sudden the RB is clearly at best 2nd best car, and some race 3/4th, that is a team being out developed.
@@KailamiMwiinga yeah and Lando set the fastest lap on the last lap.. beating Hamilton on a new set of softs .. tell me that’s not suspicious…. Betcha Mclaren is up to some hanky panky
This all happening bcoz of these big reasons
1. The wind tunnel which mclaren now have, it has the most updated technology in f1 industry and it is giving them exact data which is needed to develop car. ( Aston soon will also have new wind tunnel which is another latest wind tunnel lets see how it goes)
2. Rob marshell who was the chief designer in redbull, he and his team knows how and where to put parts inside an f1 car which make the car more efficient. As he worked with adrian for so long and developed car as per adrians vision that knowledge is benefiting mclaren.
3. Mclaren creates there own Gearbox and rear of the car which is the most important part of the f1 car, thats the reason why they are faster than mercedes bcoz they dont use Mercedes gearbox which gives them freedom to create their own suspension setup and other parts.
4. As mclaren is growing and growing redbull choose path to develop a car similar to mercedes last year and now adrian stopped working their other technical head dont have a direction on how to develop this car which is very different from rb19 while current mclaren current car is an extension of rb19 and it is becoming better and better.
5. Now bcoz of cost cap redbull cannot bring their rb19 car bcoz they already invested on current design so there no going back now and they have to continue like this for the rest of the season and hope that max can hold off.
This season will go down the wire like 2021 and 2012. Now only max might and most importantly luck can hold lando.
I think Red Bull is doing what Mercedes did early on with testing parts. Mercedes only got it right late in the first half of the season so hopefully this doesn't effect them that much because I wanna see a fight. And Red Bull also need to watch out for Ferrari and Mercedes as well. A scenario that can happen but unlikely is Max can drop to p5 or below and Lando gets podiums every race.
P5 would mean that Max is running 7th each race or the RB suddenly became unreliable. He has built up quite a cushion on everyone. If Lando can in front of Max at each race he has a chance, but 1 bad race (no pts) where Max gets even 15-18points and it become nearly impossible without a lot of help. It looks as though McLaren will stay up in the front pack each race and the Merc/Ferr are more a threat to RB and could create the buffer for Lando to chase Max down. Any given weekend the 7 race winners could win again and it wouldn't be a complete shock to me.
People saying its asymmetric braking, then why its just Mclaren that is quick. Why it is that RedBull suddenly didn't fall off after Miami. RedBull brought bad upgrades and went downhill, even Mercedes team stated that.
idk man, I like seeing different people challenging for wdc/wcc
but lando is cocky when he wins and childish and upset when he doesn't
still hope, that it'll be close in the end though
ferrari seemed to be the second fastest car today, which was surprising, hopefully we can see more from them as well in the next races
all in all the best season so far since the regulation changes

Lando thrrowing his car through the turns today, using all the track he wanted, Max had to back off and be gentle on the steering. McLaren sticks to the track way more than Redbull. Max from now on will need to pickup max points where normally he only drives to win and hope his team will improve the car..... Max won't like this but F! needed this.... Hope for an epic but fair battle up to Abu Dabi last lap😀
Not suprised if Max ends up fighting Mercedes, Ferrari and Piastri in a lot of races. Norris is not going to win every race, but Max will not get 2nd in every race either. This ain´t over yet.
Was hoping today for Piastri to challenge him at least,but he was very poor today. Hopefully more drivers can challenge at the front the upcoming races,and this will turn out to be a very interesting end for this season.
Lol Singapore i say max will finish p7 at best 😂😂😂 the curbs,the car already doesnt turn and they admit its shit over curbs hahah max to bin it into wall during qualy😂
Is Max’s heart in a future at RB? I feel the performance and team dynamics have him in a less motivated place.
Like many I have been thinking about why Red Bull have suddenly fallen behind. Sadly I am a complete layman so everyone is allowed to take my theory with a laugh. But here’s my theory anyway. The only way I can think of which would make an agile car as a formula one car resist turn in to the degree showed in your footage is a super highly aggressive differential lock system. If we imagine a car without a differential it would have fantastic traction and extreme resistance to turning. So if we imagine that the Red Bull runs with a very aggressive differential lock it will explain why it’s so fast of the line leaving the McLaren’s in the dust at the start of the races and it will also explain why it’s under steering into corners. And now here comes my second element of why The Bull’s have fallen behind. Perhaps the talks about asymmetrical braking are not related to the braking system as such, maybe they had a differential which could distribute the engine braking asymmetrical which would induce oversteer at corner entry and compensate for the under steer caused by the highly aggressive differential locking. If this is what has been forbidden as asymmetrical braking, then they are faced by either making the car lose traction because they would have to use a less aggressive differential or lose a good turn in into corners. Greetings from Denmark
If only Mclaren did not do a P1 driver swap, Lando may have had a chance at winning the championship
I wonder if the RB 19 would be better? Are they required to have a new car every season?
Ohhh that McLaren giving me mercedes vibes 😅
u mean armchair with rockets..abu dhabi 2021 was sweet 😂
Could be that the RB is mot good in dirty air too
There is a fair chance that Max will not win the championship this year. Red Bull is imploding and Lando is taking off like a rocket. Remember, there are two sprint races as well, where Lando will probably outscore Max.
2 wins don't make a summer
Max was so back of mclaren tv channels thought bottas was p2 for a few seconds there. Lol
Max didn't need to race Lando as he is just managing his position with a slower car against every one else behind him so the gap didn't represent anything since max isn't chasing!
It’s interesting to think we have races like Baku and Singapore that are coming up which RedBull might struggle more at. McLaren seems to be amazing everywhere. I think it’s very realistic to think lando could win the WDC but he still needs to get a hold of those starts
Max will get the wdc, but man if checo continues to be horrible mclaren will win WCC
So frustrating as a Lando fan, to know he starts on pole, but won't be leading coming out of turn 1.
For Lando to win the WDC, he would need to tie the old record of 9 consecutive wins in a row. Riiiiiight! Little Chucky got lucky because of the car. His reputation to dethrone Charles as the pole pisser is still in play.
@@WH0oo... I mean he did lead by 20 seconds today, yikes 💀

@@KarenTondro by seconds doesn't matter, it's more than 8 points consecutively that should be the metric that matters.
If this season wasn’t so competitive I really feel like we’d all be talking about how bad Fernando has been. It’s starting to remind me of his McLaren years, where if he’s not running in the top 5 he kind of just gives up. He’s just not being vocal about it.
Also, wtf is going on with Sauber my god they’re bad.
That was a good race
I'm pretty sure Lewis won at Silverstone, 😉 and if I'm not completely wrong, it was Spain that was max's last win😊 Have a good one guys 👍
Oh come on, It's the Fia focing red bull to remove the asymmetrical braking system . This system helped the car through the turns and also helped the tire preservation. This has also slowed then down coming out of the corners so they don't have that dominant top speed on the straights anymore. They got busted big time but it's been kept pretty quite by the FIA. I imagine Ferrari are pretty pissed at the FIA right now as the made an example of Ferrai quite publicly when their engine wasn't lepgal. They even penalized them the next season putting some pretty harsh restrictions on them.
How this wasn't mention in this video is beyond me.
Because it's bullshit with no evidence.
Could it be that Red Bull hit the development ceiling with the RB20 or was their pace at the start of the season just a false dawn?! Anyway, the recent signs are not great news for Red Bull and Verstappen. The car is poorly balanced and is lacking downforce. This is why Red Bull started to put more wing on the car, because the drivers otherwise chew up the tyres even more.
To make matters worse, the last couple of tracks actually suited the RB20 and they still failed to win at anyone of them. Now with Monza, Baku and Singapore coming up we will see circuits that don't suit their car (almost no fast corners and lots of kerbs). I'm curious to find out how Red Bull and Verstappen will fair at those.
unless that RB starts blowing up every second time Max races it, I don't think there's a real chance for Lando here. Not to raise conspiracy theories here but the performance drop since FIA's crack down on asymmetric braking seems a coincidence.
In industrial engineering, 90% of the solution to the problem is to identify the problem. In this race, the only difference between the Red Bull car & the Mclaren car is that the McLaren car gives the driver an amazing tire advantage.
As the Red Bull team usually has the optimal tire usage, during the race, it's logical to expect the red Bull team will use this races data to figure out what is needed to restore optimum tire usage so that they can bonce back to winning again next week. Ha-ha
Checo is not as bad as people make him out to be. Max is a 120% driver while Checo is a 100% driver. In fact, Checo struggles ought to have been a canary in a coal mine event for the car.
Red bull and mercedes both seam to really struggle on hards, unless its warm for mercedes, but Red bull have struggle on them all season.
The red bull car clearly was running something illegal. The drop off is to much considering they have added”upgrades”. What they’ve added is a replacement which ain’t agreeing with the car atm
Without the asymmetrical braking to help him steer into corners, Max is struggling. Was he ever as good as we thought he was?
As good as every one else. He could on some tracks be better than others ,they are all evenly matched up. Give most of them a winning car and they will be capable.
Hamilton P8
@@ua697 P8 is some kind of code for Lewis's 8 championships compared to Max's 2? Yes, 8 and 2, no person with eyes gives any credit to the 2021 championship that F1 blatantly stole from Hamilton and gifted to Max. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what you are referring to. ;-)
