2024 F1 BAHRAIN RACE analysis by Peter Windsor
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 мар 2024
- Even though it's a new season, and all the teams are fielding new cars, the 2024 Bahrain GP had a very familiar visage: Max Verstappen took an immediate lead from the pole - and, as predicted, opened up a comfortable lead by the end of lap one. Sergio Perez finished a strong second, underlining the outstanding qualities of Adrian Newey's RB20, and Carlos Sainz was an exultant third for Ferrari, beating his team-mate, Charles Leclerc, who was troubled by brake temperature issues.The minor places were disputed by Mercedes and McLaren-Mercedes, with George Russell crossing the line ahead of Lando Norris, a detuned Sir Lewis Hamilton, hampered by a broken seat, and Oscar Piastri. In this video, Peter Windsor looks back at the key moments of the evening and puts Red Bull's performance into the perspective of their recent seasons to date.

Seems Peter is not aware of the brake problem with Leclerc car. 😞
I think it was a brake bias setup hickup.. It was ok in the second part of the gp
He was just overdriving the car with full fuel load.
Yeah what an ignorant way of doing post race analysis
Agree. Quite an incorrect analysis of Leclerc's race, leaving out the most important part that he was driving around brake locking issues and losing confidence in the car. Looking at the pace Sainz had and how slow Russell was in race-pace comparison (and he had free air in front of the 4-car train) I think the brake problems robbed us of a potential late-race battle between Leclerc and chasing Perez with Sainz close behind Perez as he was in the actual race. Looking at Perez as a barometer - because Max was in front and could do his own thing of going extremely fast to build a gap and then relax into a steady rhythm - I think the Ferrari has reduced the gap a bit in race pace against RedBull. So far, the caveat being it is only the first race, I don't think it has reduced as much as they have hoped but they have clearly moved away from Mercedes and McLaren whom they were fighting and oftentimes losing to last year.
He watches the races without any commentary as far as I know so he does miss things like this from time to time.
I never thought I’d live to see another driver like Michael Schumacher. But here we are. Max is very much like Michael. Their driving styles are similar, their attitudes are similar and so is their dominance. Earned dominance. Total killer instinct. Zero mercy shown. No off day. Masterful.
It's only coz of that rocketship car, when everyone else is in tractors.....and ofcourse a teammate who can't challenge him and isn't even allowed to.... not to mention that current RB has a gap to others in superiority never seen before in history....
Ham beating a driver like Rosberg in 3 out of 4 seasons and winning championship.....and beating Alonso as a rookie....and beating Vettel in 2017/18 when there was an actual title fight between Merc and Ferrari.....that's MASTERFUL...
Verstappen can NEVER match that.....Perez won 2 races last year and Maxi had them Nerf his car since Miami.... he was scared of Perez....😂😂😂😂
Never had a championship calibre teammate.... Masterful??🤣🤣🤡

Ferrari telling Sainz "his softs should drop off this lap" and it never happened, that is the REAL sucker punch: they're in a different league.
And they went for 20 laps….. which means max and checo could have pushed the gap alot more on those hards
It was also kind of bemusing as it was quite clear from what we saw in the first stint that that was not going to happen…
Ferrari looked at their tyre strategy and numbers forgot they had to track RedBulls wear and tear 😜😜😜
To be honest Sainz regain 1,5 seconds in the last two laps but we don't know if Checo Nada Perez was nursing.
I will never understand ferrari. They see that Checo and Max have gone further on their first stint on the softs. They themselves say that tyre deg is less than expected. They see the confidence with which RB puts Max on softs, without even waiting for Checo to do a full lap on them. How can they think the strategy will come their way?
Peter I think you are not aware of this as the Sky Sports commentary was horrendous in mentioning this but, Leclerc had a break balance issue so bad it was in the 100 degrees difference. He was barely keeping it together to reach the finish line from lap two onwards. He did not flat spot his tyres on mistake. He was on the radio constantly speaking about how dangerous it looked to drive his car today, absolutely miraculous how he overtook Russell to get that P4.
Smart observation
all bullshit , there were no problems , Leclerc is the same as Hammilton , cry cry cry , they are the cry babies of F1 !!! just excuses to cover up Leclerc's faults , Leclerc will NEVER be a world champion because he is an overrated midfield driver at best !!! next year will be beautyfull , 2 cry babies in one team 😂😂😂
Doesn't matter. Ferrari can't win
@@dumindahashan5568 regardless its good to know why Lec fumbled a podium spot
I have a question? What was Max doing his first 5 years in F1? 🤔
Peter seems unaware Leclerc's front brakes had a 100 degrees difference L/R...
Yeah, definitely!
I was very disappointed to hear him say NOTHING about the mechanical/ technical problems Charles had with his car.
Thanks for the heads up! I was expecting Peter to give us an analysis of the race, but since that was overlooked, I stopped watching one minute 10 seconds into his analysis of the race upon reading your comment 👍
He was probably asleep and didn't even watch the race
Did he? I am not so sure...@@lesliejackson5225
I'm watching and enjoying F1 for 37 years now and I dare to say that Max Verstappen is the best driver ever in F1. The way he dominates F1 in a way no other driver has ever done is just breathtaking. This lad is special. Niki Lauda said it right: this is the talent of the century.
I mean, others have done it of course.
@@VColossalV not really 🙂
Ehh...
No they havent...@@VColossalV
@@Bullpit2nobody since Schumacher has had a car so much better than the next AND a teammates with such a delta to them. Opinion on max is irrelevant he’s amazing but that is true which is why we have so many who unfortunately can’t see how good he is because he doesn’t need to show it like he did in 21 when someone else had a comparable car to his
Max was managing his Tyres from lap 2
halfway lap 1 I'd say.
I can imagine Max at a party:
Dude: "I'm a product manager, so what do you do for a living?"
Max: "I manage tires"
Actually, the moment he had a 1.5s gap, GP told him it was time to start thinking of managing.
@@daarom3472€*
When they put on the softs, he decided to have a quick one, and was 3 seconds faster than everybody else !
He did a lap 1:32 while everyone else were in the 1;35's and 1:36's.
Then he went back to sandbagging, lol.
Of qualifying. He had new softs going into the race...
Yuki going Ballistic remains one of the true Joys of F1 😂 ❤
Of course he is mad. Ricciardo should have given his place back to Yuki at the end
I thought his frustration was justified there. I generally agreed letting Daniel through, but they should've specified AFTER Yuki had his run at Hulk. I think Yuki played it exactly how it should've been called by the team; let him make his proper attempt, but once it falls off, let Daniel through. I also didn't like Daniel's passive aggressive radio comment about Yuki not letting him through. Yuki earned that battle and deserved a shot at it, especially when none of them were getting in the points anyway
@@oldboydog According to Ricciardo, there was an agreement prior to the start of the race.
@@LVQ-so5th Fair, but even still, when he's 4 tenths back in the middle of a battle? Doesn't change my opinion. Horrible timing from a driver and team perspective. He gave the place after he knew he couldn't make the pass, exactly how it should've played out
@@oldboydog🤪 justified? Honda needs to pull this guy (slonoda) out. If Yuki puts people in danger of physical harm, Honda is not doing itself any favors. .... He has no right to be brake testing /swerve around Riciardo and act like POS AFTER the race ..... AFTER the 🏁chequered flag.
Waiting to see what reprimand he is going to get.
As much as I love this channel and the brilliant analysis you bring, Peter, it’s uncharacteristic that you didn’t pick up on the brake problems on Charles’ car. Sainz did have a fantastic drive, but without the brake problems, Charles wouldn’t be in the George/Carlos/Sergio DRS train and had pace to stay ahead of them for a second place.
Exactly. It was known during the race that Leclerc's car has a huge break imbalance, so I have no idea why Peter didn't mention it at all. Weird take on Charles...
Yeah, switched off the video after the bit on Leclerc. The confidence with which Peter makes conclusions based on insufficient data makes me question all other insights shared on this channel.
Or maybe Leclerc was just on the limit while Sainz drove serene? How far are you gonna defend Locklerc😂
awww dont cry , makes you look like Hammilton or Leclerc 😂😂😂 the 2 cry babies of F1 !!! brake problems my ass , all excuses to cover up Leclerc's faults
@@twanvorstenbosch the two most overrated crybabies. Bro always has problems on race day lol
As a fan of Max, I always have his onboard on a second screen, also to listen to him and GP talking. It's unbelievable how smooth and tight he controlled the RB20 around the track, a joy to watch. I'm afraid other drivers need to up their game to come close.
I do too, it is indeed a joy to watch , art of driving
I wouldn't mind some more airtime of his onboards in the live coverage. Great to see the other battles and it was a decent race, but I could watch Max drive so smoothly all day😂
Well he’s uncontested. He wasn’t as smooth when Lewis was breathing down his neck
@@frankm5150 You mean when he was breathing down Lewis' neck?
@@frankm5150Sure, and … How smooth was Hamilton with Max breathing down his neck.
I think your comment on just appreciating what Max and Red Bull have done, sums it up perfectly. I think true fans of the sport do appreciate it, although some closer racing would be nice. To me it seems most of the people complaining are people who are more driver fans than fans of the actual sport.
I am not a fan of any driver and I love motorsports, I see how genious Vertappen is, but, still, Perez is a disservice for the fun.
@@jorge_781 Yes but if he does enough to get the team a P2 why would any team get rid of him.
Then theres also the possibility that with another driver in that seat the exact same would happen.
@@Minifliek RBR lost the vice drivers championship in 2022 because Perez couldn't beat Leclerc with a half-second fastest car in most tracks. Luckily for them, the margin is big enough to secure the constructor's championship otherwise Perez would screw it.
@@jorge_781 True but don't forget Ferrari started off with the fastest car in 2022, they only really dropped of after the regulation changes to the floor at Spa.
And RBR don't need a 1-2 in the championship since it does nothing for them as long as they bag the constructors.

Edit: the inverse
Max is a machine
Peter, I am not sure your assessment of Charles’s drive is correct. You call it catastrophic mistakes, but he had very serious break issues. It is very hard to drive without mistakes if you have a difference of 100 degrees between your breaks.
brakes
Brakes*
Didn't they say that Leclerc had a problem with the brakes throughout the race? 😮
I think it’s time for people to admit Max is just another level. I knows lots of people already do but there’s still a lot in denial. Verstappens dedication to his craft is clear to see on track. In his spare time, he’s competes in a virtual sim racing esports in WEC cars. In equal machinery against sim nerd who play the game 12 hours a day he is still the best there as well. You could put him in a lot of racing categories and I garunteed he would get the maximum out of all types of different cars.
Multiple chose are all different level. The gap between the best drivers is less than a tenth, but the fastest car in the best drivers hands enhances that. Learn! Hater you say? Check out Sebastian in the Red Bull or Lewis in the Merc prior to 2022
Yeah, he's a phenom.
Unfortunately, for the sport, his car is also designed by a phenom.
Gonna be very, very difficult to beat them this year and even next year.
I mean the car certainly helps, it was the same with Lewis and W11
@@truth4reel Vettel was never the best driver.
He’s another level to Perez, for sure.
The car is on a whole other planet. Congrats to Adrian & his team yet again
Max his idea of vacation is 3 months of simracing and then back to reality. That guy is some sort of racing humanoid. No mistakes, and takes no prisoners. 20 seconds between him and checo. He had a free pitstop at the end of the race and didn't need it. Completely new car and even better result this year. He will be world champion in Japan this year and RB as a team maybe earlyer. Atleast that is my prediction.
thas impossible. Japan is the 4th race lol
@@murcccIn my books he won the championship in Bahrain. There is no fight😂
@@heransd yeah maybe 😂, but he can't mathematically win it in japan.
Why are these supposed F1 "experts" unable to tell that Charles clearly had an issue from the start of the race with his brakes. OK, 1-2 lockups you could put down to driver error, but after like 5 it should be pretty obvious there was a mechanical problem. One of the best drivers on the grid isn't going to look like an amateur locking up his brakes every damn lap if there's not an issue. Jesus.
Also Peter... you do know Lec had brake problems.. not sure how this went by you.. -.-
I wrote the same thing right now. Why doesnt he refers to this brake issue? He simply doesnt like this driver..
@@nikkdalv6443Peter has praised Leclerc as one of the best drivers for years. He always puts him on the same league as Hamilton.
@@drfisheye so why does he comments like this? It doesnt make any sense since he knows how seriously damaged was leclerc's brakes. Simply strange..
This Max is far above perfect. Its insane. Hes dancing on the track, saving his tyres.
Charles had a brake issue
Peter - How come you didn't account for the brake issues Leclerc had right from Lap 1? Clearly Charles and Carlos were not driving the same car and all the uncharacteristic errors Charles' made were down to the left front brake temperature difference. (100C more)
i can't understand these things. How can you miss such a crucial information like that?
Because he isn't infallible
I agree Carlos ran pretty much like for like with Perez and Charles is usually a couple tenths up in race trim so maybe there’s like a 5% chance max could have some form of challenge
@@alexlucido4907Max was cruising, if Leclerc was even close to being a threat he would just pull away
100% It’s a big thing to miss from a race analysis.
Did Peter missed the memo that Leclerc had brake issues since lap one till the end?
Last year in Austin Max drove with braking trouble the whole race and still won. Leclerc's trouble wouldn't have mattered much in standings.
@pimjcb9964 Maxs car didn't have a 100 degrees imbalance and wasn't pulling to the right under braking, grow uo
@@orio_3 And still wouldn't have mattered in standings if Leclerc would not have any troubles.
Max won with brake issues while Lewis and Leclerc were driving with illegal floors and got both disqualified for it. And still they couldn't win against Max with brake troubles. Grow up already.
@pimjcb9964 Leclerc would have been much closer if not ahead of Perez yesterday without issues, considering he's usually 10 seconds ahead of Sainz, especially in. Bahrain, one of his best tracks. As for Austin, the floors were not illegal, Leclercs plank was 0.01mm below the legal limit, and even then, why would that make them win against the dominant rb19 car? That's not an insult to Leclerc or Hamilton in slower cars.
yep, it probably wouldnt, Well, Checo wasnt that far of, but its safe to assume, he had plenty of pace still available if needed, there is high chance that Ferrari position would be swaped, also without knowing specifics, its pointless to compare different brake issues, for example dealling with bad feeling, that is consistent on both sides of the car, as max had, is managable, however different braking power on left vs right would be way bigger issue @@pimjcb9964
Mate i think you don't know this , but Charles had a break balance issue , the temp diff was more than 100 c
This
Anyone who was watching the race, knows this, so it's super weird Peter didn't know that
Hey was looking for this comment… I also brought it up in the comments
I assume it’s cause he didn’t watch it on the TV… or didn’t hear the radio or interviews…
Given he advocates for the talent of Charles I found it weird
Reliabillity is an important aspect of the car. It's no excuse
@@ml8022 Not for the team but it is for the Driver 🤡
Can we just talk about how consistently good Max is? Hamilton was already insanely good in 2019 and 2020, but Max took that to the next level and kept that level for a year! And it looks like he just keeps going where he left off. He's is literally in harmony with that car.
All that simracing
I think thats what makes him so different, I think Max might not be the outright fastest ever.
But he is nearly always performing at a 100% of his capabilities whilst other drivers have far more ups and downs.
Look at Leclerc sometimes he does amazing things and puts his car in places it shouldn't be, but he also has mediocre and just bad races.
@@MinifliekLe Clerc , is the new Jean Alesi...
It's difficult to tell. He's not having to really push because the car is so much faster than the rest, and he team mate is mid level at best. IIRC the last time he was pushed in a season, he was patchy and the old aggressive crashy style kept resurfacing. His performance in the crucial final race was lacklustre, and he was only saved by errors from the race director.
It would be great to see if he has moved on from that now, but we won't know until the other teams catch up, which might not happen until the next regs are introduced. At which point, we'll likely have the same thing where one team nails it, and wins everything for a few seasons.
@@oldmossystone Max' aggressive style has never been away, but he did get overly aggressive at the end of 2021.
However if you've been the best all season and should have had the title done and over with ages ago but couldn't due to no fault of your own.
How would you react? You'd also desperately try to cling onto every chance you got in a car that isn't capable of winning since the Mercs had quite a pace advantage at the end of 2021.
Max easily lost 50 points due to no fault of his own in 2021 and the fact it came down to the last race was up to luck.
I get getting frustrated because of that.
Verstappen had robot like consistency that only Schumacher has matched
Not really, he just has Perez as a team mate.
@@tetra3000 ? what does perez have to do with max's consistency?
Schumacher made some rare mistakes, verstappen on the other hand, didn't since the end of 2021.
Nonsense. Watch the stint lap times from today and tell me which other driver have this clock work ability? Verstappen has done this multiple times. Driving 17 laps within a 0,5sec range etc. @@tetra3000
@@tetra3000Typical mentality of a DTS fan 😂
I followed the Telegraph coverage and was disappointed by the negative comments regarding Max's superiority. I am personally really enjoying a driver at the top of his game. I think he will be one of the greats.
Will be.....or already is? 🤔
@@Jan.Willem Already is in my book. Haven't felt like this since Senna.
Max IS one of the greats.
I listened to the BBC's radio commentary and then watched the end of the Sky coverage - you'd think someone had died they were so downbeat. At some point you have to just applaud excellence.
@@Jan.Willem one of the greats for sure. Just to become a Goat, still has some years to go. :D
I was watching from the track . The Ferraris looked not well balanced after the turn 1-2 bit sliding when accelerating ( specially in the first few laps ), MAX was like a magnet on the track no wheel corrections
Complete masterclass from Max!! One of those races where your obviously not just watching a great car, but a clearly gifted driver.
Hi Peter... thanks for all your work. I saw this and thought it was worth sharing. Metronomic!
Toto: How is our old concept working with Redbull 😅😅😅
dumbass fans : HoW DId NeWery fIX mErcS caR 😂😂
Picturing Mike Elliott giving Toto his best Jeremy Clarkson smug face 😂
That's not the old concept of Merc tho. I don't know why everyone's trying to push that narrative
Toto said that himself with a smile. So from now on its legal to say it 😂
@truth4reel because They have no actual understanding. I've been saying that at Japan when the planned side pod upgrade is introduced, they will be something more like "quarter pods" or similar. At the very least, what We have now are "half pods".....
12 of the first 15 Laps from Max where 1:370 Super constistant
What blew me away was he did 8 laps on the softs in the last stint ALL in the 1.35:6 or 7 almost identically. while everyone was in the high 1.36's and most others 1.37's. On those softs he was at least 1second faster sometime 1.3 than everyone CONSISTENTLY, its mind boggling. I just saw the post race interview clip and he said it was the first time in a while the car balance was spot on from the get go and he wasn't effected by wind as they were in FP, that and Bahrain circuit is probably one of RBR's best.in general.
Peter, why didn't you acknowledge Leclerc's brake issues?
Something was clearly up with the car and he actually did a pretty good job to bring it home in 4th.
He even said on the radio the car pulled to the right under braking. Was Peter taking a nap?
Love your content Peter, you deliver actual facts, break down what's important, and explain the critical areas us mere mortals miss. Keep it up.
Max is now at that level where if EVERYONE was in identical cars Max would still win the championship. I'm not even a Max fan. I'm just being honest.
lol no, he’s hasn’t proven anything and just driving around in a rocket. Last time he was challenged, he was crashing everywhere
@@johnjohnrice585 if that's true why is he almost always faster than Sergio? Perez is no slouch at all. And Max dominates him.
@@johnjohnrice585 max litterly shredded sainz in the same car when he was like 16 and hadnt even been driving a race car for more than a year "F3" and sainz had been racing in f2 ect for many years, max got p4 twice and got like 5 times more points and all of he's dnf's was from point positions that year unlike carlos, so unless you think sainz is useless and you are braindead then you shoud be able to comprehend the level max is on
@@powerkingez9682 Dont bother talking to these people , they probably didnt see Maxs' masterclass in the rain in 2016 Brasilian GP or better , conviniently " forget " about that .
That race told me that we were watching an exceptional racing driver .
They also make it being all about the car and overlook how Max basically trashed every teammate , which ofcourse IS the true benchmark , and if they do , they will say Max has had bad drivers for teammates .
And they probably only watch the race and nothing else , like the interview Alex Albon did a couple of months ago and how he spoke about Max . Or how Nikki Lauda spoke about Max ( They be like Nikki Who ? )
They will never admit that they are actually watching greatnes unfold , they are too busy hating on Max .
Unfortunately I really disliked him when he came in because he was such an aggressive and "don't give a f." type spoilt 16 yo even taking into account his age. But then I've come to accept you kind of gotta to be that way to be the best of the best. Also what I'm seeing specifically in his racing lines and his car manipulation is truly masterful if you understand anything about racing - he's very much got sensational feel which you need but he's also showing how cerebral he is with his comments on conditions and circuits etc. Hats off to him he is already a Great no two ways about. .Ideally I want to see him race wheel to wheel with another great like he did with Lewis in 21, because I want to see if he's ironed out the bullish attitude and aggressive turn in because I see that part as very shitty driving. I really like that Max likes a car with a very sharp and pointy front end because he's the only other driver like Kimi Raikkonen who likes cars like this. Kimi and Schumacher were very similar -that's why Kimi replaced him at Ferrari. I think Kimi would absolutely adore Max's Red Bull in particular especially given the downforce and grip that thing has..I always thought Kimi and Lewis would be the best pairing of this century at Mclaren. But stylistically in that car...Max/Kimi would be Minutes up the road to everyone.
George finished 46 seconds behind Max that shows Mercedes is miles behind. On specific tracks where Red Bull will be even stronger or Mercedes weaker they might even get lapped lol. Ferrari might have a chance at catching Perez, you didn't talk about Leclerc's brake problems that he had all race, he usually is quicker than Sainz maybe he could have taken the fight against Perez.
Thank you so much Mr.Windsor for giving us your knowledge.
Good video, Peter, much appreciated! 👍😊
Sainz has balls. That will never be debated.
Thanks for the video
How can you say sainz was better and blame Charles for a car problem? It wasn’t as if Charles locked up once or twice with a mistake? He locked up over and over again because of an issue with the car and his one front tire way over heating. If anything Charles did an amazing job finishing fourth with such an issue with his car! Got to COMPLETELY disagree with you on this one.
Maybe you didn’t see after and Charles talking? But you know Charles isn’t a driver who is going to lock up 6+ times in a race
A team this good, doing that well with a supernaturally good driver is indeed a pleasure to watch. Let's cherish this!
Excellent as always
Great show!
Stayed up till 2am to watch the start of the race and was asleep by lap 5
I fell asleep with 5 to go !doh..even worse
Great analyse Peter thanks
I love this channel and enjoyed this edition even more, since for the first in many months, neither Abu Dhabi 2021 nor short corners were mentioned. Sorry Peter, but keep up the great work.
Love it. Race-weekend complete with mister Windsor
Watching that Red Bull felt beautiful, yet utterly terrifying. If they sacrificed quali pace for race pace, then this is checkmate already for the entire season..
My favorite time in F1 was when the SPEED TV TEAM of Bob Varsha, David Hobbs, and Steve Matchett in the booth, and the legendary Peter Windsor trackside. His walkthoughs of the grid were always given with true insight that can only be gained from decades in the sport!
The battles from 2-10 are going to be great this season I think. I don’t see that as a bad thing. There is a generational talent leading the way. That in itself is a beautiful thing imo.
Thanks as always Peter. Looking forward to the live stream, the most educating F1 content on the internet. Bless you.
Leclerc was making mistakes due to imbalance of over 100 degrees between left and right front wheels, caused by poorly assembled car. It was known during the race from the radio, so no idea why you didn't mention it.
Ferrari fan here… Just wondering why Peter didn’t mention the car issues Charles was having… which caused some of driving errors🤔🧐
Just asking for a friend😂😂
Lovely vid @ Peter
Thanks Peter
We are really witnessing an absolute phenomenon in Formula 1 history. It's like watching a Messi and these kind of people like a Max and Messi is so special and beautiful to watch...wow!
Perez doing just what he needs to do. Red Bull haters fail to see the investment in reattaching Checo's head after it fell off at the start of last year. Max haters huffing the cope needed to deny he is the most dominant driver in history. Schumacher was a god and Max would have beat him. Going further back to Clark, Stewart etc. is just too much of a stretch given different tech and tracks. The crushing realization every driver in the grid has that they can't be champs with out Red Bull and if Red Bull hire them tomorrow they have no chance of beating Max.
I think every F1 fan loves a tight fight between different teams for the WC, which only comes along a few times in F1 history. We all hope for a fight like in 2021. But F1 has always been dominated by one team for most of the time. Same as for Lewis and Vettel you can only admire the dominance of Red Bull and especially the RB20.
Even in those other season you had other teams and drivers winning. This year I can see Max getting the clean sweep of races after nearly doing it last year. It's a pity Sainz isn't in Perez car, as I think he'd push Max a lot harder, hopefully he's there in 2025.
Thank you Peter Windsor
Great comments as always, thanks. The Saudi race is not in Riyadh, but rather in Jeddah though.
Saudi Grand prix is held in coastel city of Jeddah, not in Riyadh (which is in-land).
Max already on 8 consecutive win streak. If he wins the next 3 he will have a new record of 11... thats wild
Unless I am mistaken, Max is now on his 11th consecutive win.
The last race in 2023, which he won of course, was win number 10, this win was number 11.
I do believe that this record carries over seasons.
@@reddwarf666 No, he had 7 consecutive wins end last year (Japan to Abu Dhabi) after his 10 consecutive which got interrupted by Singapore.
@@lukasgraesslinI stand corrected, thanks.
Nice round up 👍
Peter, Charles had brake issues. We all know he would never let himself be outbraked by Carlos lol
another Max-terclass from RB
I have to say your analysis is more interesting than the actual races. I will be honest I now only watch the very edited version of the races to keep up with what's going on. I wonder if you could make more comments as to the engineering and aero dynamics of the car that make it that much quicker than the other teams. Respect to the Red Bull team. I am straying to WRC and Moto GP for excitement. Thanks again for your edifying thoughts.
You’re the best Peter. The best.
Peter has the best breakdowns!
unaware of Charles' break issues, though.
Peter, you know what? Thus I watched the race, as any race since May 1979, I can spare myself that exercise! I soooo appreciate your analysis and assessment! Born in Germany, apart from my love for F1, I’ve got a soft Spott for the Mercs, but tell you the truth, thus I don’t like the way in parts the RBs are doing things, I’ve an utmost deep respect for Max and Checco for that matter, well I collect F1 die-cast model, I got Max’s Rb16s “Sayonara” for me the best livery and car ever conceived in the master class scale 1/12! I might not be the hot and heavy fan for Max, but boy, I’ve the utmost respect and appreciation for his art and love it! Peter, please keep this way, I became a Peter Windsor content addict years ago! You’re fair, precise and genuinely loving the sport, guess what the majority of models I collected overtime are from Alfa…. Best designed cars ever for me… for me it’s all about the sport of Formula One! Not any driver, but the sheer excitement of the sport… and for your moderations I want to thank you Peter! Keep rocking
...the RB car and driver combo.. wow
Hi Peter,as always thanks for the fine comment.My biggest wish is to have Max on the show.I think it will be wonderful to see and whitness two legends talking about F1.
No mention to the big issue with Charles' brakes?😳....it was a miracle to get until the end of the race and score the 4th place
His brake issue was sorted half way theough.. miricle 🤣.
You guys reach
@@karl8805 well it wasnt, they discussed it with Xavi like with 5 laps to go, it was stable( but stable bad) he also said it in the interview, that after first stint, it stopped getting worse with each lap and he could somehow drive around it. You do realize, you can hear all the team radio right? You dont have to telling non sense in the comments
@@karl8805 Cope harder Sainz fanboy 😂 Charles said that the issue was there for the entire race, it just wasn’t undriveable like in the first 15 laps, but it was still there. Unless Ferrari magically fixed a broken brake duct remotely 😂
I think Peter is getting forgetful,.. or maybe he leaves things out so he’ll get more comments 😂
@@stevepiccinnin1157 makes sense 😂
Carlos executed a great open application to Checo's seat for next season.
Let's see the next few races if he can pull off a RBR contract.
That “tripple drs circuit “ is one of the most exciting tracks on the calendar.
I’d like to see Carlos next to Max in the RedBull.
It’s how these 2 got started.
He wont be any better than perez rbh.
Max bodied him when they were team mates
or Carlos to Mercedes!
@@karl8805 Then what's the loss? Perez got a chance didn't he?
If you're one of Carlos' advisors the last thing you suggest is pairing him up against this current version of Verstappen so he can get torn a completely new arse.
I think Carloz to Mercedes would make more sense, it would be a similar situation as of now, where on a good day Sainz could beat Russell as he can Leclerc. But with Max he would struggle too much.
Everyone is even farther behind RB than before. Oof.
Mate, Leclerc had brake issues from the begninning, he had terrible brake balance hence the lockups? Do you watch the race or mute or something?
I was thinking that too!
He watches without commentary actually yeah
@@Loudeboss that explains it, I figured something like that..
Funny if you compare Max's reaction to Russell suggesting Red Bull being 0.5 second faster and the race itself where Max was about a second faster per lap (up until the lapping of the backfield).
This was perfection of the highest level as driver and team.
0,5 seconds per lap.
Peter, is the racing being blunted by tire management run amok? Should we demand more resilient compounds?
Max is the talent of the century as Lauda said. Even if they make all cars equal,*which is stupid for f1* he will find ways.
Well let's hope he moves to another team so we can get the answer to that and have something of interest to see. If he did and won again it would cement the legend, if he doesn't there will always be questions over whether it was Neweys' car or Max' driving.
@@NonFlyiingDutchmandid you not watch 2019-2021?
@@NonFlyiingDutchman he will end his career of F1 too early for that to happen. He's not the Alonso type to be happy just being there.He already paid the price for his current success, with those 4 years when Rb was rebuilding and 3rd team. All drivers started young, but he started from the age of 3, has mileage on his clock. Rb picked him up from F3, not even F2. Can't be compared, and no he doesn't need to move. Did lulu move when merc was winning him titles? Will it be fun to see? Yes, but he will try leMans after becoming 8 time. You want him to win a title in a Haas? Checo is a solid, Charles level driver, and he is getting creamed year by year with 20-40 seconds. So no he doesn't need to prove. Lando who doesn't crumble under pressure quite like George, Albon, Leclerc, Sainz was offered a RB seat near Max, but he rather gamble on Mclaren, maybe after 2026 they will be contenders.
Carlos: “You’ve made a mistake kicking me out. So I’m going to drive like a demon, smooth operator this season and find a better seat!”
seems like you forgot to add the issues with le clerc's car, they even made changes before the race
Broken connection part maybe? (between brake duct and chassis I mean). Weird issue.
I only raced radio control but strangely when the car felt slow in practice to me the truth was it was just easy to drive because it was set up well. This is what I see with the Red Bull it's lack of problems and smooth handling make driving it so much easier and of course you can push a well balanced car so much easier.
That’s why I like to watch Peter’s videos: the only person to mention Adrian Newey and his team in the first sentences. If I was Adrian I would be annoyed by everyone slapping themselves on the shoulders and ignoring the fact that they stand on the shoulders of giants.
This is it for the next 3-4 years until Adrian Newey retires. The 2026 rules are still based on Ground Effect.
I do think it’s not unreasonable to say Newey might win ALL the next WCCs until he retires
You forget that the engine rules change for 2026 and that can swing the balance a lot…
@@ilcapitano010 - the idea is for engines to be simpler and more alike so no, that won't take away the "Newey Advantage."
Totally agree with Max's exceptional driving. Arguably the best we've seen. But I do hanker for the day when he's got another excellent driver in the seat next to him. Not saying he's gonna start losing. I'd just be happy for him to have to work hard for his victories.
At least the commentators seemed excited
If they want the windtunnel and CFD limits to have any effect, they cannot have rulesets that remain unchanged from year to year.
Well that's the season over and done with. See you in Bahrain next year to see if any teams have caught up yet.
Rb 21?
Nice to see Checo back ...hopefully good things from him this year.
He didn't look like he was even trying most of the race either. Look at him after the race, not even breaking a sweat.
honestly, both RB drivers didn't need to. Even Perez was on cruise control after he got P2 until the end as Sainz couldn't close the gap until lap 55 when Perez's softs started to degrade.
Sorry but that's not fair saying nothing about Charles's brake problem (100 degree difference on the front left tire) ...I mean, it was so obvious and confirmed during and post race from Charles, Vasseur and commentator! Did you actually watched the race? 🤨🤔
Or ....... we could say that ......... all F1 fans should consider themselves very privileged to witness a car, created by Adrian Newey's 'genius', coupled to the RB team's 'brilliance' and Max's amazing 'master class' driving skills ........ that looks as if it is even better than the historically 'mind blowing' RB19!!!!!
Riyadh is a great circuit imo, lot of the drivers love it & it's great to drive/race on the sim
2023 style dominance continues. How can we enjoy 23 more races of this?
How can we NOT enjoy another 23 races the way this one was? It's watching perfection!
This guy smirk at begining of videos cant hide hes a huge MV fan
Sainz had no one when he finished the race. Zero SF around is how the broadcast looked
It was painfull to see.
Yuki: Gentleman in the Sheets, Freak on these Streets 😂
Regarding RB tyres.
Did they expect a longer run on the hards, or had testing really paid off as he'd said on the radio the fronts were starting to understeer on the lap they decided to box him.
Also. Any idea what GP really meant by "front wing update" or "front wing check" ?
Carlos finishing 2.5s off Perez was the most exciting takeaway for the rest of the season
