@@de1623 You said "nope" to Ham and Ver being the best drivers on the grid, due to Piastri being faster? Being a racedriver is about a lot more than driving fast. Mclaren has had the fastest car for the past 6-7 races. Yet they've only won one. That's just as much one the drivers as the pitwall. Both Lewis and Max made crucial decision in this race which benefitted them. Norris and Piastri didn't. Doesn't mean they are bad, just that they don't have Max and Lewis' experience.
The Maclaren was faster in the rain not over the entire race. In the first stint, the Mercedes were faster, when the rain fell, the Maclaren came to its own, then in the dry again, the Red Bull became faster.
@@illyricus. In stable condintions they clearly were the fastest team by far. Mclaren were superior though during the mixed phase of the race. So he is right actually.
@ashitkotian2396 Mercedes didn't have any mediums left. Hamilton widened the gap to Norris from 3 to 9 seconds on the same soft compound. The difference is too great to be just skill...
I fell that this is the turning point of red bulls dominance. As Ferrari Mercedes and McLaren are genuinely able to beat them and Perez underperforming for a while means change is coming in the pecking order and the season is still yet one to watch
I agree. Lando has had everything given to him in life. You can tell by his attitude. He’s a little cry baby. Winners don’t sulk and cry. They get angry yet smarter and go in for the kill
Aston Martin Green Box, but no mention of Hulk getting his second P6 in a row AHEAD of highlighted Astons and Williams and of course, outscoring Perez's points from last 6 races in just his last 2, in a HAAS! 🤯
You know, maybe instead of trying to get into a shit stirring contest with Red Bull, Zack should ask himself why his team that has had the best car since Miami has only managed 1 win.
@@de1623 ""Only in Piastri's hands" what are you talking about? Norris was faster than Piastri except for the last stint where Pasitri was on brand new mediums which was the best tyre in the last stint. Nobody in history of F1 can manage tyres like Lewis does. On the same tyre Lewis pulled a 7 second lead on Norris. Lewis has done this to GR63 many times this year & last two years. GR63 is faster than Norris.
Norris has proved in the last 2 races that he's not ready to beat Verstappen and become a world champion. He's still making too many mistakes. Now that his car is fast enough to match the Red Bull, Norris has nowhere to hide, and it's obvious that Max is performing better. Unless Norris improves, the only way he's going to be world champion is with a significant car advantage.
Silverstone either delivers races like this or is a bit boring but still has its moments. Either way nobody can complain that this race is sleep inducing.
I'm starting to get the feeling that Red Bull is keeping Perez around as a guinea pig to gather live tyre data so they can maximize Max's strategy. Funny how Checo starts the race on hards and then Max ends up being the only front-runner to change to hards later on. It makes sense to me, anyway. Who better to gather your tyre data than the tyre whisperer himself, right? It's the only way I can make sense of why you would keep a driver around who scores so poorly compared to their teammate, is if he provides a side benefit in the form of a consistent test driver, or if his feedback is valuable for whatever reason. Whatever it is, it's obviously valuable enough to keep him around. And you would only do that if you were planning on backing one driver for the wins, which Red Bull appear to have decided to do.
@@logano7678 I agree with you. I don't think Red Bull would risk the constructor points at the risk of putting Perez around as a guinea pig. This was a weekend where they made the best out of Perez poor qualification. Red Bull's error was in giving Perez a new contract cause it clearly hampering there constructor standings unlike Mclaren maximization of constructor championship points every weekend regardless of whether Lando or Oscar win.
Much as I'm honestly neutral, and regardless of who it is, and what class of racing (on 2 & 4 wheels), I always want the best racer/team on the day to win. I genuinely think that was the case this weekend. And I couldn't have been happier for Lewis. This may be the last race he wins at all, let alone for Mercedes, and if he was going to win one, _this_ was the one he deserved to win. 104 wins, 9 at Silverstone; way more than anyone else's total, and the most of anyone at one place. And we saw it happen. We saw history being made. That doesn't often happen. I hope that whether you're a Lewis fan or not, you appreciate what you saw.
Red Bull should have a Red Box! If it weren't for Max they'd be absolutely nowhere. So much bias towards them. Id have given Merc a purple box as well compared to both teams recent form they've come on leaps and bounds.
No one mentions that checo was used as in-race tyre tester with the hards and inters. They were able to call the shots better with the data from checos tyres.
Piastri had the chance to influence the decision. But he did a Perez and just trusted the guys at the pit more than the track before his eyes. A good driver insists no, i am coming in after assessing conditions, then the team has no choice but double stack.
Everybody talking about rb being in danger for the cwt have a short memory. Don't remember 2021 when they didn't give a damn about the constructor title + rb might want to not win the title and get more cfd time for the 2026 car
Well if it wasnt for Mclaren & Norris fking up the race at 3 different stages Hamilton wouldnt even be 2nd... he also didn't drive that great the whole race. He did on the right moment...which is what counts the most ofcourse
McLaren team were reactive in their bad decisions rather than being upfront and assertive. Giving an irrational Lando tyre options instead of taking the right call didn't help them either. Oscar was robbed of a potential podium. Although they have the best car and great drivers, McLaren as a team is pretty average and mediocre. But all in all a fantastic race and immensely happy for Sir Lewis Hamilton finally winning a home race after 2.5 years. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Between Checo and Danny Prick? I'd still go with Checo. The lesser of two evils and if the Horndog pulls the trigger and bins Checo and Ricciardo botches it up even worse?! Remember that Dr. Helmet Palpatine and Jos Vader are always lurkng in the shadows, waiting to pounce and screwing this up could be a career-ender for the Horndog if he gets it wrong. Liam Lawson really is the safest bet since it's clear they've got it in for poor, unloved and very much unappreciated, Yuki. Go figure! 🙄
Lando needs to stop being such a little baby. Talking shit about himself and the team on camera; looking all down and sulking is not what a killer does. He has to want it. Not cry about it until it comes his way. As long as he’s been in f1 he’s still not ready to be a champion.

Absolutely. He had that car where it didn't really deserve to be. Very pleased for him!
When was he behind Sainz?
Honourable mention for hulk getting that haas to p6!
Hamilton and Verstappen proved why they are by far the best drivers on the grid
Nope, Oscar was faster than them both, the lap he lost 20 seconds on cost him victory, thanks to McLaren.

Because all the focus is on Norris, it's forgotten that Oscar could win too.

It will never happen as long as Zac brown is in control. Lando is his baby and they will always favour him even if piastri is faster
Casually ignoring the Hulk‘s 6th place….
Best race of 2024. Somehow still overshadowed by the incredible F3 feature race yesterday.

The strategy is top notch though. Max got 2 places just from the pitstop strat.
max made the call for the first pit stop tho.

Purple for a DNF. You are not serious. Mercedes scores points for winning, but loses as many for the DNF
The team made the call coz they didn't want to double stack. It wasn't Piastri's fault
