Verstappen was back on track in Japan as he delivered once again and secured the win at Suzuka in a comfortable victory. But it was behind Verstappen where things were interesting as there were several teams battling it out to be second best.

I think Checo deserves a purple box for his performance. After a disastrous Japanese GP last year, he definitely rebounded.
He had fantastic race pace, and some sweet overtakes into 130R and the Chicane
You don't get a purple box when you finish 12 seconds behind your teammate
@@suckieduckie According to "Andy" you don't get a purple box either even after getting pole, win by 12 seconds, fastest lap, and fastest pitstop. This channel is a joke aimed to dimwits with no knowledge of racing and Max haters.
Checo is my favorite driver but no way this is a purple box. He did a great job but nothing incredible. Green box is fair.
It’s a crime that Ferrari is replacing Sainz with the #2 driver from Mercedes
Lewis, "George is faster than me. Can you confirm that you understood the message?’
Behind the Drive is THE best F1 analysis series there is. Great job!
Sorry for the delay!
I was looking forward to this one. It's part of my post race digest 🙌
Sorry for the delay!
OP, you need to start eating more fiber 😂😂
BTD always delivers one of the best race analysis. I know I always say it but you deserve more recognition. Keep up the good work!!
What do you mean , Verstappen never went of track . His car might have gone a little of track , but that is not Verstappen of track .
Yuki one day will get his own box I know it...one day he'll get what he's earned.
Behind The Drive, This is fantastic! I subscribed because I love it!
Love the content! Keep with it, Andy!
Love the content mate, keep it up!
Excellent analysis, thank you
Thanks for watching!
I have a few honourable mentions to add, just my two bits.
1 Haas. I’m ever so sorry for Günther, but he did consider retiring anyway. But they have that deg issue under control, it seems, and suddenly they’re there again. Nice.
2 Stake or whatever. It’s a decent car. Looks good, too. If only they get their pitstops right, they’re not embarrassing, not at all.
3 Williams. We all know about the Excel sheet management by now, and they’re hard done by that culture shock. I sure hope things’ll improve now, I really root for them. Williams has my underdog vote every time. Mind you, I’m That Excel Guy at the office.
Excellent analysis Andy/BTD‼️👍👍🏁
Looks like Perez, Sainz and Tsunoda are all stepping up their game, performing a lot better than last year. Red Bull have a difficult decision to make, and I don't think they can wait too long.
Flush...The sound of Danny Ric's F1 career
Sains on rb would be insane lol, i know he womt beat max, but he would be a lot closer than checo for sure...o domt want to sht om checo, but i see him like ricardo...drivers past their prime holding seats for new talents... Hamilton and fernando can still trow down tho...i do notice hamilton depends on his mental health for sure...ocon l, bottas, stroll qnd mag are also holding seats hostage at our expense
if there's anything i've learned(i have not), it's that the only way to beat max verstappen with that red bull car is for him to have reliability issues.
Im still hairtwisting over sainz being dropped those 2 seem to work the teams on the way up... dno hamilton is no slouch but given the momentum
It’s hard to say no to the statistical goat when he approaches a team. It’s like if a driver said no to Ferrari. Remember when people were laughing about Sainz’s signing to Ferrari in 2020? Look where that’s got him. The great will always be great. Lewis will perform when there is a chance for him to win and Ferrari will give it to him.
- LH44 hater
In 2022 when the Merc W13 proved to be a dog with fleas, I said Merc is now 2 years behind Red Bull.
In 2023 when Merc came out with the same concept in the W14 as the W13 I said they would now be 3 years behind...I was right. Mercedes is the 5th fastest car on the grid and have nothing to look forward to before the 2026 rules changes.
think sainz will get a good contract. maybe a with a fast car as well.
I enjoy your excellent input. However Max certainly gets a Purple Box with the 'Hat Trick'. Pole, Win, Fastest lap. How can one do better?
Lead every lap, fastest I'm every session :p
Win by 30 seconds 😮
Incredible work, as always. However, I disagree that RB20 is even more dominant than RB19 in qualifying. Yes, Max has achieved 4 pole positions so far, but in Bahrain, Ferrari was faster. It is enough to see that Leclerc's time in Q2 was better than Max's pole, and only a poor performance by the red cars in Q3 (maybe caused by a change in wind and temperature conditions compared to Q2) and an excellent Max's lap secured pole position. In Australia, more of the same, Max had to do an flawless lap and wait for Sainz to make a mistake in T9-10 that cost him 4 tenths. If not, Ferrari would've gotten pole.
This year, Ferrari is much closer, just see that the RB19 was born with an advantage of 7 tenths in race pace and the RB20 has "only" 4. They are still the class of the field, but Ferrari can take 4-5 more victories from them this season.
If Ricciardo retired in 2022, it would have been like a once great show that had weak series finale.
As it is, it is once great show that descended into farce after few weak seasons and it just refuses to end.
Ricciardo deserves another 4 races to turn things around IMO. If he can't do it, there's still another 16 races left in the season to get Liam Lawson more experience.
Just like the office
Are you using farce properly? I feel like it’s a buzz word that British F1 fans have clung onto since 2021
@@justinburley8659 Well, I'm not British so I can't give you proper answer here.
What does Red Bull do if Checo finishes second to Max with a couple wins this year? What do they do with Lawson if Riccardo turns it around? I think it's time to move on from Checo and Daniel, but that's only because I want to see what Lawson can do and Sainz at Red Bull. Checo gets to ride into the sunset with his head held high and Daniel will always be loved by the fans.
Logan must be bringing a truck load of cash to the equation. Any other driver would have been cut by now
He's clearly a pay driver. And Williams clearly needs the money.
Williams funded his F2 campaign, he's not a pay driver lmao
Carlos is killing it! Well done...Can't believe Ferrari cut him for whinny hamilton
Go play in the road and make yourself useful for once in your life
Hamilton's value is in his celebrity status, which will help sell more Ferrari road cars.
0:21 Verstappen routine continues
1:19 Perez gets back on track
2:35 Sainz is continuing to prove Ferari wrong
5:06 The RB battle of the drivers continues
7:46 Mercedes clearly ha e a temperamental car
Yes the car worked. Lol. That was all that was needed to win the race.
Tsunoda will never be a Red Bull driver: He is not constant enough, is not a Sainz or an Alonso, and has temper issues...
It's only yuki four seaaon in f1 compared to sainz 10th and alonso 21st, he is consistent and has plenty of time to grow and get better, its likely he won't get the red bull seat as there are so many good drivers available, in the future he certainly will be at a better team if he keeps improving the way he has been, he's also aware of his temper and is much improving on it
Leclerc requested the one stop strategy
The biggest problem Mercedes has is the lack of unity aggravated by GR.
In Japan Gr was allowed to brake F1 & FIA 'on track' rules by denying Piastri enough space to turn 'on track' and then deliberately bumped Piastri 'off track' to destroy Piastri's worn tires.
at minimum, GR should have got a 10 second penalty but .......... as usual ......... GR is allowed to get away with it.
No gp for me, thanks lots.
#1. Danny can’t drive. Has lost the mojo and it’s time for Liam.
Sainz know what Mercedes should do: stop inventing.
Daniel Ricciardo deserves at least another 4 races with RB before Helmut Marko considers sacking him. If he hasn't made any progress after Monaco, then fair enough - but 4 races is too small a statistical sample to get meaningful numbers from which to judge his performance.
Everyone keeps hyping up Yuki, but if even the slightest thing goes wrong, the guy still acts like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum, times a 100. And am I really still the only one that remembers the extremely dangerous bullshit he pulled in Bahrain, when again for once he didn't get his way , when it wasn't even for the points? I don't want that anywhere near Max, because at least Checo can communicate, even when he's frustrated. And even when he doesn't think something is fair, he doesn't attempt to murder his teammate just to make a point.
Yuki was told 2/3 years ago now that he had to get his temper under control, he hasn't. How the hell is this guy still in F1? I'm saying it now, one of these days, Yuki will do the same thing, but it won't just be a dive bomb missing teh other car, it will be right into his teammates car. Wonder how much everyone will still hype him up then.
I don't get how Max who has calmed down so much generall compared to his reckless younger self, still gets so much hate from so many people, the same people that are now cheering on Yuki and ignore what a hothead he is, more than Max actually ever was.
Sorry for the rant, but I don't get how everyone just shrugged off what Yuki has done and how he still is to this day, so easily.
Just because he's been consistent now, let's not forget that even last year, he wasn't consistent at all and still had incidents that were highly unnecessary. I just truly do not think for even a second that Yuki is a good teammate for Max.
Love the content as always though
Fair enough. Right now, I don't think either Ricciardo or Tsunoda deserves a promotion to Red Bull - and it appears Helmut Marko doesn't think so either.
Yuki doing his job that why everyone hyping him up he in f1 because he earned his spot on the grid just because you don’t like him you have to respect because he doing his job and score the points and getting to Q3
@@timonsolus right now for Yuki he need keep his head down don’t cause no trouble and keep driving if not Red Bull somebody give him a chance and for DR idk
People shrugged it off cause people are making a way bigger deal about it than it was, and it was the only time he went against the team and didn't listen to team instructions. Attempted murder, I think you need a good check cause that was harmless. stupid and made him look bad, but it wasn't malicious.
And he is in F1 cause he is talented.
And he has been consistent since last season, remember his start of the year? Really consistent. People just love to forget his good moments for the bad.
Plus things didn't even go smoothly in Suzuka and he kept his head down.
Wasn't consistent last year? he was literally the only other driver on the grid as consistent as Max through the first quarter of the season before the car fell off, finishing 10th or 11th every race until Monaco. He had 6 points finishes worth 17 points total while his teammates combined for 2 points finishes and 8 points between the three of them (well, two). You should try actually watching F1, it'll make talking about it a lot easier
I will say it once again leclerc is the single most overrated driver on the grid
True for quali, but he did well in the race?
And yet he won driver of the race... why?
No - that would be Ricciardo, who is currently proving that he doesn't deserve Perez' seat, despite all the pre-season hype about it.
I couldn’t agree more
@@timonsolusfirstly, one would have to care about Daniel Retiredo to even bring him up in the conversation
People were tired of Mercedes winning. Now that is true of redbull. The opposite of what Liberty wanted. Given my hatred for the punk that is vert. No plans to travel to an actual race this year.
