2024 F1 JAPANESE GP Friday analysis by Peter Windsor
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2024
- Another Williams shunt (fortunately without injury to Logan Sargeant) and afternoon rain limited the running on Japanese GP Friday. Still - amidst the cherry blossoms and the beat of the rhythm of Suzuka - arose some intriguing results. In this video, Peter Windsor looks at the low- and heavy-fuel runs of the leading runners and their comparative top speeds. Red Bull's Max Verstappen was quickest on his performance lap with the Pirelli soft tyre but Ferrari - with Mercedes, Aston and McLaren not too far behind - again look strong.

I love these videos with top speeds, low and high fuel run times. It tells the real story
I mean, compared to all these F1 channels wasting their, and everybody else's time time with fluff and rumors...
What happened to your discussion of the drivers press conference Peter?
How I liked the 90s cars and regs. Sound, simple cars, pure racing.
Well the cars were often more complex, active suspension, traction etc. I agree though.
Without the aids...i dont like active suspension again and traction control especially...the cars were amazing especially late 90s
I agree. Today's cars are 300+kg heavier and rely heavily on DRS and slicks to post a 'fast' lap. If today's cars had no DRS and grooved tires like the early 2000's, we'd get to see how heavy and obese they now are
Two Japanese drivers Takuma Sato and Sakon Yamamoto ran in the same team for Super Aguri in 2007 or 2008 but the team disappeared before they arrived in Japan.
@@vanbalzup6481super aguri was a junior team for honda, like toro rosso for rb..
Super Aguri debuted with an all Japanese lineup with Sato and Yuji Ide in 2006. Until Ide got shown the door by the FIA of course.
@@dylansmit3883 yeah, i was wrong. The teammstarted with Sato and Ide, who was replaced by Yamamoto. Actually Sato and Yamato ran in Japan in 2006 in Suzuka.
@@egawat01 Yeah Yamamoto shared the second car with Franck Montagny for the rest of that season.
Don't give excuses to Logan PETE, he already had multiple massive shunts last year, cost Williams nearly 4 millions dollars!
He was a rookie in a shitty car. Of course he deserves some slack
logan is a client of his close friend driver coach Rob Wilson, that's why he's glazing him
Pushing hard, in FP1, when you can't see where you are going is not the hallmark of a great driver. Sort out where you are and your lines then push, surely.
@@k.can.ipek. Then Rob isnt good at his job :P
Maybe we should not be to harsh on logan.
If I understand the situation correctly the rapairs changed the balance in the chassis. They had to add weight somewhere.
This ment that Williams had to compensate for this with set up.
Never as simple as it sounds in our armchairs
Thanks Pete
What was the reference to the Thursday press conference? I missed that bit
that outro is pretty damn fitting, a shorter version is even cool to always use!
I think the shoulder inlets on the RB20 are for stalling the beam wing and diffuser. It has nothing to do with cooling.
Peter, always great your analysis. Verstappen garbled his pronunciation a bit, but he meant to say "balance" not "bounce".
Yep. Lots of sources quote Max as saying 'The balance wasn't too far out'
It was interesting watching max take the fastest time in FP1 back and then go back on the hards. I love how he wants to get more homework done when you see how the hard tyre was struggling to get temperatures in them. A shining example of why he’s so good!
Easy to do when you have a rocket ship
@@joshuaokunola6261 If so, why Perez can´t do it ?!
@@joshuaokunola6261 So does Sergio and yet he’s not at the top. It was the same for bottas, Webber, baracelllo and so on. Anyone can can be given a rocket ship but it comes down to how it’s utilized man.
@@pedroferrr1412
Do you mean Choke-0?
@@pedroferrr1412 Sergio is still the 2nd fastest on the grid and he's a mediocre driver.
Max is doing a great job getting the best out of the car, so give credit where it is due, but that car is still leagues ahead of its rivals.
I wouldnt be surprised if Redbull still have another .2 or .3 in hand if they had to push it to 100
The cost cap is not working
It absolutely is, just look at those cucks at brackley, they are nowhere to be seen, thanks to the cost cap, the best thing ever!
the cost cap has made it so engineering talent is paramount. the only thing that typically offsets adrian newey cars against the rest is being down on power slightly. most others are close to one another and those who aren’t could be spending more on engineering talent, development and infra
It is working, just not as fast as you want it to. Things take time.
it is real racers win now not engines
@@oldfartgaming6273 the engineers you mean
Umm....Hasn't George Russell made a few comments over the last couple weeks about how their weekend seems to go as it progresses. I.e. starts well and gets worse through quali into the race.
For once, i'm not sure i agree with your comments on Merc this weekend :-(
I don’t agree that where Logan went off is an area with a reasonable amount of track. That exit is very tricky and pushes the car wide while also being a bit blind.
Considering MV FP1 best was on hard and LH was on soft puts it all a little more in proper perspective…
Yikes!!!
Not really though, if you consider the "high fuel" runs between Sainz and Leclerc that is projected.
Charles on hards just as fast as Carlos on softs... naaah.
No one and that includes the almighty Peter, knows which programs teams are running.
@@likilikiki I’m talking about Hamilton, not the Ferraris.
@@ianaquila1858 And I'm making a comparison to show that tyres differences and times don't mean anything because everyone drives their own program.
Different fuel loads, different mappings.
So your "proper perspective" doesn't mean sht.
Hey Peter, Max said the balance wasn't far out. Not bounce. Martin / LowerLaptime
I know you’re a Sargent fan, but I think they should swap him mid season. He’s just not good enough.
If he goes the money goes with him
They won’t. He is a Williams Academy driver..they need his money as well…
He'll be out from Monza...
Antonelli turns 18 a week before Monza. We could see him in that Williams seat then
Logan thought he was at a different corner…probably was confused due to talking with engineer
Which is a pretty good example of why he is not up to par with what is needed for an F1 driver (especially when there are so many young drivers - Lawson and Berman especially - waiting for a seat).
That suggests he is not fit to be in F1. It is supposed to be the epitome of motorsport, not a babysitting contest.
5:18 6:58 8:09
Max’s face looks thinner. Could it be he’s trying to compensate for Carlos and his appendectomy?😂
😂😂😂😂
Drivers tend to lose weight through the season. They gain weight in the offseason so it takes some a month or two to get in race shape
2 Japanese drivers in the same team = Super Aguri in 2006
Mick had somewhat of same or better performance in haas or equally worse crashes. He was fired but we keep confiding in logan .. just dont understand.
Yes, Schumacher was actually starting to match and even beat Magnussen race pace wise, he also scored more points in the second half of the season with absolutely brilliant race-craft, notably in Silverstone.
Yet people trashed him at the end because of a lucky pole from Kevin, who dropped out of the point while Mick finished right behind his tail despite staring lower.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382yep, mick was getting better, too bad his first season he had a poor reference in his team mate, that really hurt him
Mick had pace and race craft. Im sure he would do fine amongst this grid
Because Logan brings American sponsors, which is money for Williams. Also the US tracks want US drivers and US sponsors.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 People trashed him because he cost the team like 4 million in damages.
At the end of the day he barely got half the points Magnussen totalled so what does "scored more points in the second half" even mean.
The first half doesn't count or something?
Hulkenberg proved they made the right choice to sack Schumacher 10x over.
And it's not just HAAS that let him go but so did Ferrari.
Even Wolff doesn't have faith in him because have you even heard Schumacher's name once in the debate who will replace Hamilton next year?
No one is even seriously considering him.
I am fast becoming a real Sainziccionado, looking forward to seeing what he can put together here
Super Aguri did better than Virgin, caterham, marussia, Manor F1. They managed a top 10 finish in their first season with a modified arrows chassis that was on show in an airport, and then scored two legendary points finishes in their second season back when only top 8 got points.
Williams should lend Lawson from RB. It would be a great general repetition to see if he can learn enough to replace Daniel Riciardo next season as Perez will probably stay at Red Bull next year. If so, lawson an Tsunoda will catapult each other to a higher level.
Trust what comes out of Russell's mouth at your own peril. I rarely do.
Him being the president of the gpda is a joke . We saw that in 2022... Mercedes mouthpiece more like and as his teammate , proven liars.
Logan has violated track limits at circuits across the world.
He just did it again today in Japan, with dire effect.
Whatever does James Vowles see in him??
Why is it so hard to say that Sergio was second? You said Carlos Sainz was second.
Cause that's not really important considering he is in an RB. If you are 200th of a second behind your teammate, is that something to write home about? I understand that you are mexican and patriotism and all but pretend to be an F1 fan for once and judge Perez objectively once. Sainz almost split the RBs in a ferrari😂
I love your insights. The only thing that I would really appreciate you fixing is the volume in your videos. Please normalize or increase it (when you talk). Thank you!
Should be two races in Japan
And none in the Middle East.
2nd race should be at Fuji. Brilliant circuit imo
@@greasybeaver5743 I agree - a great track.
I think Logan was alluding to the bulky cars and limited view for his trajectory errors
Getting annoyed with the Sainz love in. I am rooting for him as he was screwed by Ferrari but the minute he falls behind Charles and he will everyone will be saying what’s wrong with him and is he worth signing?
I’m a big Charles fan. But this season he needs to prove again, the he’s the one. Carlos is doing a great job and has close the gab in qualifying.
So Alex crashed that one in FP1, now Logan crashed it in FP1. Maybe it's a cursed chasis?
With the cost cap and team parity as a result, I am perturbed that Williams hasn’t invested in at least 1 extra chassis. And James Vowel’s flippant attitude.. Sargent gets the repaired chassis.
It's nothing like parity. The top teams are still spending way more on all the exceptions and extras. On top of that, they've invested for a decade in their facilities. Vowles estimated they are $300m down on infrastructure compared to Merc.
IMHO, Sargent is in over his head. Can't see why he has a seat.
Is Sargeant bringing money? How much? They need someone good in that car.
Mr George Russell is the best!
TOP CLASS! 🇬🇧
"Sergio Perez representing Red Bull if you like"? Pete obviously is uncertain if Sergio races for Red Bull. This guy seems to to be struggling cognatavily.
Peter is like a former football people/office manager that is taken serious on playing football
Translational for normal folk: DTS Max Stan is triggered that Peter said something about Lewis, so goes on a multi-comment rampage insulting said Peter, because of the child he is.
About Max, come back when he’s the most successful driver of Red Bull first, let alone the sport. 😂
He's forgotten more about F1 than you will ever know.
@@buckfaststradler4629 He can fool you new a-typical motorsport fans
@@buckfaststradler4629 To bad for you that me debunking Peters late braking nonsense is in all the comments on his BS video’s and that he found out months later himself is also in the video’s.
Took Peter a wile to find out lap time is not about late braking but about exit speed.
Motorsport basics.
If you have a argument let me know, you opinion without is only interestinv to mommy and daddy and maybe Peters subs
@@yerrie1908So why do you watch all his videos if you hate what he says - are you some sort of sad masochist?
Waiting to hear what you have to say about Williams
You don’t pronounce the 2nd c in Charles Leclerc’s surname - it should sound like leclaire
Neither the S in 'Charles'.
Peter has previously stated he asked Charles and he himself confirmed the pronunciation of the c.
Stop you’re not a main character
I said the same in other videos but he doesn’t listen. In fact it’s disrespectful that he won’t correct himself to reflect how Charles and everybody else says.
He likes both pronunciations, which he says in this video:
ruclips.net/video/S0TeJKUYTxw/видео.html
He’s the guy that needs to go!
PW's love affair with Hamilton continues, in contrast George hardly gets a mention even though he is faster as usual.
I think what Sargent was inferring was that at the moment of the crash he was pushing the car beyond his previous experience.
I really don't understand the love Pete has for Logan.
The dude is 28-0 in qualifying with Albon (good driver, supple, but not Verstappen) with an average gap of half a second, hasn't beat him a single time in races where both finished and is in F1 mainly because of his nationality (even though he was objectively good enough to have a shot).
How can you defend him with guys like Pourchaire, Lawson, Drugovich waiting on the sideline?
@@GarrishChristopherRobin777
I don't care about the US tbh and F1 shouldn't as well!
America is all about the show and the business, if the fans are behaving like moron in the stands and there's chaos on the track, they're happy.
Their only interests is to make the sport attractive towards people who most of the time don't understand a damn about not only F1 but motorsport as well.
Btw, his presence o, the grid is highly disregarded by old US fans.
@@GarrishChristopherRobin777
Unless you want sh*tshow like Miami or LasVegas.
Hamilton fast out of the box😂 till othe others even had their laps
what he means by that is hamilton straightaway had a car balance he could work with. unlike in australia practice where the car was too nervous for him to put up a decent laptime and took a long time for him to set up the car to be decent
RBR has engine on low again. And Lec wasn’t on hards with those times. You are mistaken.
Lol Maxx fan boy right here
Leclerc was on hard tyres
Sargent should just go to NASCAR
FP2 was shambolic. Modern F1 is a shade of its former self.
As much as snooze fest last season was and this season is looking like it will be. Teams not running in a rainy session isnt new
they would've run more if they believed qualifying or the race would have similar conditions i think
Logic. No sense to drive. Its not for Inters nor for Softs suited. Only the last few minutes for softs. They simply only get a few tyres to use….for the environment…… blame FIA/F1 for that.
@@Redlingsteinor Hamilton.......
@@ImraanSalieIt is new. They didn't use to. Elf n Safety.
albon caused all this chassis mess, should of just let logan race as normal
Well, we saw how Logan ‘race as normal’ 🤦🏽
Logan destroyed at least 3 or 4 chassis last year.
No no they should not have
Outro music always annoying and loud
I didn’t realize there was anything from day 1 worth analyzing
I think it's the end for Logan! He's been given plenty of opportunities to make himself know a d he's failed! He's always off the track! Give other hungry formula 1 drivers the chance! Come on!!!👍🏾💯
Williams will ONLY GIVE ANOTHER WILLIAMS ACADEMY driver as seat… they currently have 2 driving in F2….they won’t be ready before 2025.
So is Verstappen two tenths better than the rest? Not much between Perez and Sainz... Or is Perez not that good?
Bro only the most stupid F1 fan can believe that Max and Checo can perform on the same level in that RB20. There’s an entire gulf of performance and mentality difference between them. Checo is a decent driver at best and Max is a generational talent already one of the GOATs.
He's atleast 2 tenths better than the rest
As long as Mercedes do not interfere with Hamilton's set up which he is obviously enjoying, Hamilton will be the surprise of the weekend.
Mercedes are desperate, can't see why they would do it without his consent.
The driver is responsible for his own preferred set-up. Not the team.
James Vowles is lucky to still be in a job... He has taken a massive gamble with whatever he is supposedly trying to introduce within Williams, FOUR RACES in & still no spare 3rd chassis tub available...??? 🙄🙄🙄
No only AFTER CHINA. They simply had to produce the other parts to have 2 full cars.
And there are other teams with only 2 chassis too………….. they don’t tell who but F1 knows who. So Williams isn’t the only team
Yeah, but he's given us a lesson in 'diversity.' So everything is good.
Because Williams still used one super large Excel sheet to manage 100.000 parts.
Both Ferrari's and Red Bulls retire and Hamilton cruses to the win, after he nudges Russell off the track. Hamiton gets punished and Russell gets 1st place. A Japanese driver gets a podium.
Top speed BS, the differences are 1 Km, without data you don’t even know what exit speed is and if it’s measured revving out in 8th gear.
All this BS only impresses the a-typical new motorsport fan, not real motorsport fans, we know that Max made all the difference in turn 5.
It’s just too painful that Lewis is no way near the GOAT.
A lot more drivers would make the difference driving Verstappen car
Peter: Lewis is the GOAT
(Lewis gets ass whooped and destroyed by Max)
Peter: Adrian Newey is the GOAT.
Reality: Lewis his Mercedes was a second faster than the whole field 85% of the time and 100% the first 3 years no matter who was driving.
Newey’s RB, just as Schumchers Ferrari are fast, but only dominant in Max hands and Schumachers hands.
Newey’s last 10 years look a lot lot lot lot impressive without Max.
Thank god Newey is open about that, you didn’t watch that dear Lewis fanboy
Not just dominant in Max hands but would dominant in other drivers hands.!Mercedes were not 1 seconds 85% so that a lie.No problem with being a Max fan but being a delusional one.
Load of nonsense. Perez is an average driver and drove crap in 2023 yet still managed to finish P2 in the standings because the RB car is a rocketship. Even this year average Perez is usually finishing P2....he's in a rocketship
Real F1 fans know there's no 'goat' in F1. Rules, points, scoring, qualifying formats, machinery, circuits have all changed so much from each era to the next, that its absolutely impossible to say one driver is better than another from a different era. Greatest of their era is about the best you can do.
Nobody ever in the history of this sport, not even your brave big balls spitfire pilot Clark,has been inch perfect every corner, lap, session, quali, race and season as Max the best this sport has ever seen Verstappen, who hasn’t had a day off since karting in Italy.
You can be in denial and with your: there are more Max’n with Charles, Lando and Lewis but the reality is they didn’t win COMBINED what Max won at the age of 26, not even close. You need to come up with better excuses, Max even destroys the hyper hyper competitive equal machinery NO EXCUSE, not even for Brits, sim racing world.
Imagine fools as Peter not having top speed excuses and his mid corner BS
true story
Max isn’t even Red Bull’s most successful driver in their 18 year history. Think about that for a second fanboy.
@@W0lf_91He soon will be mate.
@@W0lf_91 To bad for you that at the age of 26 he destroys them all big time. In percentage it’s already done.
Try football mate, this data and facts driven high tech sport is not your thing, football does opinions, try that
But that’s the biggest tell with Peter, this Clark BS, all romantic but clark was a brave big balls spitfire pilots with a death wish and the current generation are super human F22 pilots, it all sounds romantic but it’s total nonsense, pre downforce is a totally different sport, old F1 has more with GT4 than with F1
You're the one talking BS mate. If you just care to study the great and the legend that is Jim Clarke you would know that.
Ayrton Senna, to name but one knew that.
What most people these days try to do is claim modern F1 is more complex - meaning more effort for the driver - and higher G force, meaning the drivers are fitter. Great, but that doesn't account for how drivers like Clark had to drive without any radio/telemetry/sensors or adjustments on the wheel. Clark's mechanics said he used to put less wear on the gearbox and brakes, unlike the modern era when everything is electronic. And on top of that, in order to get the top lap times you have to push like hell. Most current drivers would be too scared.
@@martingonzalez2850 Clark was a brave big balls spitfire pilot, current driver are super human F22 pilots, you can’t compare old pre downforce with modern F1, totally different sport, Romantic but BS
@@Ruylopez778 Pre downforce old F1 is a totally different sport than modern F1
@@Ruylopez778 Flying a spitfire asks for big balls and a lot of bravery, but it’s not more difficult and they are not better pilots than F22 fighter pilots.
It’s romantic but nonsense.
And that’s besides all the other aspects as no competition, happen in slow motion compared to modern F1, drivers could drink party and win, some where over 50 years old, races with nr2 4 minutes behind and that besides who could buy the most expensive car, employ most engineers, even getting to the track in those days was difficult, I think you are born in the 21st century and have no idea about those days and what life was like.
You can think the red baron is a better pilot than Maverick but it’s comical.
Romantic but it makes no sense
Why isn't James volleyball held accountable for not having chassis?? Seems like mickey mouse running of team.
Leclerc the C is silent Peter, repeat again and again. Show some respect and say it properly.
Peter loves max and adrian more than his own children 😂😂
