2024 Saudi Arabian GP race analysis by Peter Windsor

- Опубликовано: 8 мар 2024
- OK. It was another Red Bull one-two. Max Verstappen was his usual, devastating self; and Sergio Perez drove exceptionally well, particularly as he carried from lap seven a five-second penalty for an unsafe pit stop release. Behind, though, it was spectacular: Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and McLaren's Oscar Piastri fought hard - as did McLaren's Lando Norris and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton; Fernando Alonso finished P5 for Aston - but his team-mate/owner, Lance Stroll, hit the wall, inducing the Safety Car. Capping it all, however, was Oliver Bearman, standing-in at the last minute for Carlos Sainz and finishing a stunning seventh for Ferrari. Peter Windsor looks back at this drive (11:35:00) and at the evening's other key elements.

What I really liked was when the broadcast showed the driver view from Hamilton's car behind Lando. Lewis would catch him on the long straights, nearly overtaking Lando at turn 1. But as soon as they reached turn 4, the McLaren absolutely took off. Lando nearly pulled a 1.5 sec gap in 10-15 seconds from turn 4 to 11/12. That McLaren has some serious high speed cornering.
Your right it was insane to watch onboard
Yeah noticed that, it looked almost F1 game like when you play against 110 Max Verstappen
@@pakoutac it was so noticeable watching onboard with Lewis it seemed surreal lol
Suzuka will be very strong for them
I noticed too. McLaren has a deficit in terms of straight-line speed, but they always managed to pull away in the 1st sector
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Alonso is making lemonade with the Aston car. Superb performance.
@@Trippenzoidwhat’s Alonso got to do with Hamilton’s race comparative to Russell? Also Ham and Rus had different strategies and if you don’t just look at the classifications you would know that Hamilton’s race pace was better than Russell but that’s too much info for you to handle 🤦♂️
Saying that Alonsos race was dissapointing is a big stretch, considering the car is the 5th best in racepace after bahrain, finishing ahead of both mercs and lando is a win for the team
But he's not a Britt 🫣
@@johnleven8907 It's not that. Peter loves Max, Charles, Piastri, none of whom are British. Peter dislikes Fernando because he doesn't consider him a short corner driver. He always states that without providing any speed traces etc., but it forms the basis of every opinion he has about a racing driver.
He held his own against George a long time and that's enough for me. I wouldn't George in my mirrors for a moment.
yep, this was certainly not Peter's best commentary overall. He seemed distracted.
@@slartibartfast2649Peter dislikes Fernando for the same reason all Lewis fanboys do…..2007. Everything else is just an excuse to justify the dislike.
Disappointing race for Alonso? Aston Martin is behing McLaren and Mercedes in race pace.
Ahead of Mercedes for sure. George couldn't catch him
@@rohullah5829George was always behind 1.1 to 1.6 seconds tells you they were faster just couldn't get past him because it was a difficult track to overtake.
You can tell how dominant RB are when Checo can finish an easy 2nd even with a penalty.
And for the love of god, someone in Aston please pluck up the courage and tell Lawrence Stroll _"Your son is shite"_
He needs to go and asap. Just imagine how many good drivers there are to replace that spoiled rich kid. And how many points AM could gain if they had another driver capable of scoring points.
I bet they had tons more in the bag too, but don't want to do what they did last year when the FIA changed the rules and raised the minimum floor height to try and close the gap n slow down the RB19. Re watch the broadcast and while they were showing the battle between lando/hamilton and the guys in the backfield, look at perez time. He extended the gap to Leclerc behind him from 2-3 seconds to nearly 6 seconds in just under 2 laps. It was crazy. Soon as they hit 7 seconds, both Max and Perez stopped their push and just maintained the same position. I bet they could've pulled a 20 sec gap if they kept pushing. and IMO Max confirmed it in the in car comms after the race saying that the hards were going cold at the end of the race. They weren't nearly pushing hard enough to keep the temps up in the tire. That RB20 is magically light on its tires compared to the rest of the field.
Whoever going to say that, they better have another job lined up.
Checo will never get credit, if he has a bad weekend and is out of 2nd he sucks and should be replaced because its the " minimum " with that car,if he finishes second he still sucks because he only finished there because of the car, if he somehow beat Max he still sucks and Max will be claimed overrated, maybe you know, Max is GOAT tier and Checo is a great driver just not enough to beat a GOAT over a season.
someone should find him a long boogery window to lick so he can be distracted from F1, giving someone with someone worthy a chance.
I'm sorry but calling Alonso's performance disappointing is just ridiculous. He split the Mclarens, beat out both Mercedes, and was barely behind Oscar at the end. If he'd gotten the overtake done on Piastri at the beginning then yeah, maybe he'd have one more position but 5th is still a more than decent result for being in the 3rd-4th fastest car. A lesser driver would have fallen back to 7th or 8th. Could he have gotten the set-up better? Maybe, but maybe not. I think anything higher than 4th for AM would have been a pipe dream and they knew that, and even 4th would have taken something really exceptional. That's still a steady improvement, though they still suffer from being basically a 1 driver team. Stroll for sure showed us all again how much he's holding that team back with careless errors and poor driving, and lackluster pace.
Honestly I don't understand Peter these days. Last weekend he called Charles's race poor but never mentioned the fact that he had brake issues. There's some sought of bias in his analysis this year.
I think he was thinking that based on his quali performance
I gotta say , your right about stroll, his pace and performance was embarrassing , give it up already mister stroll, and what ever you do going forward, don’t get into media
@@efitejoe9475it’s not just these days. He hasn’t changed, this is nothing new. His dislike of Alonso is well known and dates back to 2007.
He hates Alonso and somehow he tries to spread the propaganda.
Lawson needs to get Ricciardo’s seat
I agree, last year was happy for ric but he is just nowhere. Time to get out F1. It’s time for Lawson.
Yeah, DR seems to be a nice guy and super personality but just has not impressed this season. Perhaps his future is to be a broadcaster?
He will after this season
@@KevKlopper 22 more races?
No.
Now
hrstn
You left out K-Mag backing up the entire mid-field so the Hulk could get a free pit stop and score that point.
Yeah he did not let Nico pass, wtf? Nico did not pit during the SC
@@LarsRyeJeppesen?
Yeah K-Mag did well. Mobile chicane of note. I enjoyed watching that.
Should've got a bigger penalty for that bullshit. To illegally overtake Tsunoda (10 pts penalty instead of seconds for overtaking off the track) and then start backing the whole bunch up should not be legal or even worse, celebrated. Is this fkcing Forza Motorsport or formula 1?!
THAT was an awesome performance!!
I had a different take on Alonso's "I'm in qualifying mode" comment. As I see it, he basically told his team: "shut the f*** up, I can't go any faster".
I was thinking the same 👍
Exactly! He wasn't bragging, he was letting them know he was at the limit.
Same. Wasn't being a hero, was hanging on for dear life.
I concur
Spot on!
Awful read of Alonso’s message. He clearly meant that there was nothing else left to squeeze in that car, as it was obvious when he “kissed” the wall.
He spent the whole race keeping distance from Russell, he made it clear in another message that the McLaren’s were in a different league.
It is when he qf 4th
Max’s end radio was a damning inditement of RB’s dominance… he said his tyres were cold he was cruising that much.
Cold tyres because of overtaking backmarkers..
@@genehendrix1847and running at target lap time that was substantially slower than the actual lap time he could do if Red Bull allowed him to push the car a bit more
@@rez493yep at a track where you can get so easily disadvantaged by a safety car incident it doesn't make sense for Max to use up his tyres if he doesn't have to
18 yr old kid steps into an F1 car with only an hour of practice, almost makes it into Q3. Then finishes 7th ahead of the Norris and Hamilton, what a remarkable drive! I'm an instant Ollie fan. Hope he gets a quality F1 ride in the near future. He deserves it!
Beearman had great reputation following him couple of years I do watch F2 F3
Plus he had the sense to not dive bomb and try to make a name for himself so he showed some maturity for sure, if he didn’t get stuck behind cars at the start or made Q3 and started higher people would understand what he achieved in this race better
The way Lando pulled away in sector 1 was impressive. My mouth dropped lol. And I thought Lewis drove great.
Yeah that onboard from Hamilton was jaw dropping.
That was shocking to see how he pulled away in 2 two corners.
Lando should have been penalized...rather talk about that!
@@memeguyTM Then start your own conversation about it instead of the dreary whataboutism.
@@sidsuspicious lol whataboutism? that was a clear penalty. what is wrong with expecting a bit of consistency when it comes to the application of the rules? is everyone just brainless now? xD
As others have said, clearly Alonso's "quali mode" comment was about hanging on ahead of Russell and not about mounting a charge to catch Piastri. 🤷🏻♂
Danny Ric has got to be on a short leash. If it continues like this I don’t think lol get past 6 races, 8 tops.
Hey, the Guys just too considerate, he just doesn't like showing up his Team Mates !
A disgrace
He is absolutely no better than Nyck de Vries, and Nyck was quickly exchanged for Daniel. Now the same should go for Daniel, I agree.
He was already washed up 2-3 years ago. I do not understand the recent sentiments otherwise in the past 6 months.
I said it last year. People love Danny and ware thinking with their hearts not their heads 😢😂
Bad take on Alonso, that Aston finished 20 seconds behind Piastri in Bahrain, to only finish under 4 seconds behind is an improvement and to beat both Mercs and Norris.
Peter, saying Alonso’s race was a disappointment was very wide of the mark, and you should be ashamed. Pretty much everything you interpreted about him negatively this weekend was wrong.
where is SCARBS now? he was glorifying mercedes after their car launch, that they were so innovative and brave. and he was saying ferrari is just too simple and they not really going to be in the fight. well that aged well
Dissapointing Fernando? Wtf?
That's just Peter Lewis bias...lol
@@king-pl6uf Little bit of Lewis bias, little bit of Fernando hate, a lot of being a bitter old man.
oscar was probably the driver of the day he was fast enough to race leclerc but got unlucky with hamilton
Fernando´s qualy mode was refering to not let Russell get into his drs zone. If he gets into drs he will overtake Fernando in the straight.
Peter just dislikes Fernando and will invent any reason to dog on him, it's nothing new.
“Disappointing Fernando” according to Peter Windsor
@@bdc5508haven't seen it before from him but I was a bit puzzled by his comments here. Fernando got the 5th fastest car into P5 ahead of 4 faster cars.
If you’re not a Limey, Peter doesn’t like you 🤷♂️.
@@trappenweisseguy27lmao that’s patently false. You have a mad chip on your shoulder.
Bearman still skilled. Managed his tires and no mistakes. Impressive drive
It’s all car. If a rookie can beat veterans. Means the car is superior
@@illiniarmory3142 for this time, the Ferrari Pit made the right call to Pit him under saftycar i would say. And the car doesnt do its Job by itself
@@Carbonarars it almost does
Finishing is impressive nowadays? Jeez we've had too many Strolls, mazepins and latifis to actually recognize good drives nowadays...
@@PanBami2023 yep. It’s all car. The kid was lucky to drive it
I took it as Fernando can’t go any faster as he was already in qualy mode
Tsunoda smokes Ricciardo again.
Yeah, and George smoked Lewis, again, but Peter doesn't want to go there.
@@SaintKimbo Lewis and Lando didn't pit during the safety car, hoping on another safety car later. That didn't happen, so they needed a regular long pitstop. That was mostly a team decision and gamble. Lewis would probably have driven right behind Russell all the race. But yeah, George would have won.
Tsunoda smokes Ricciardo going from 9 to 14😂.
@@drfisheye
So, is George better than Charles?
Classic whataboutism @@SaintKimbo
Aston Martin is really quick over a single lap but right now struggles a lot in race pace with tire deg, even if Jeddah was quite better than Bahrain. I think Max, Leclerc, Piastri, Fernando and Russel maximized all their options this weekend. That was the overall performance order of the cars around Jeddah. I think Aston was quite clearly 5th fastest car during the race but much much closer to Merc/McL than in Bahrain. Quali pace and a good lap by Fernando paid off.
Mr. Windsor should know that. Alonso's P5 was brilliant.
@@docmccoy9813 He knows very well. It was not Fernando who didn’t extract the maximum this weekend…
Assuming that the AM is a good race car when the only precedents we have say otherwise (both races) is quite unrealistic.
14:20 Peter acknowledging the brilliance that is Max Verstappen and that RedBull team
Even Perez finished miles ahead of Leclerc in P3.....it's a literal rocketship man.....
Verstappen is the luckiest driver in history.....
Massively talented but also luckiest....
It'll end soon though......one more year to go....,✌🏻
@@Batman22222luckiest in history?
Drove a midfield/backmarker car in 2015.
Between 2016-2020 RB was mostly the third fastest car and miles off Mercedes. 2021 was the first year the RB gor close to the Merc.
2022-2024 has been dominance true, but the delta between RB and the competition is way way wayyyy closer than Merc had between 2014-2016. While Verstappen has often taken or missed pole by tenths Lewis/Nico were taking them by seconds while sandbagging to hide engine performance.
@@Batman22222lulu was sleeping with lady luck for years. What a nonsense that max is the luckiest. Get real f’ing helmet.
@@Batman22222 Hamilton is the luckiest driver of all time. Never drove a car lower than 3rd in the constructors.
@@norbertjanssen814lol, he absolutely did, and he absolutely is right now.
Max so far ahead and people so used to him doing records, he gets his 100th podium casually and nobody even mentions it.
It's pretty clear from his radio that Fernando Alonso's "qualification mode" had nothing to do with catching Piastri and exclusively about defending his position.
Peter is too blind for Lewis man...he hates Alonso since 2007
Well I'm going to have to Unsubscribe. I think impartial analysis is the least one should expect.
Disappointing race for Alo in p5??? In the 5th best car lol What about Lewis in p9 slowest of the Brits and couldn’t even beat Bearman in his debut 🤣
Idk how you interpreted Alonso's "qualifying mode" comment as him trying to catch up to Piastri lol, it was clearly about trying to keep George behind
For me, Alonso 5th place in the 5th best car is the underrated drive of the day, more so than Piastri finishing 4th in the 3rd best car
Finishing 5th in the 5th fastest car isn't a achievement
@@andrewbragg504 Teams have two drivers. Your expected finishing position in the 5th fastest car is 9-10th
Greatly helped by the pitstop strategy of Lewis and Lando. And by having a rookie in the Ferrari. And the Mercedes wasn't great in qualifying either; arguably the 5th best car. Even Lance beat Lewis in Q1 and Q2. But sure, Alonso got the best out that car.
@@drfisheye aston is way worse in the race than in quali. in all the race pace analyses ive seen after the race, aston were 5th quickest
@@LambdaHDvideo he had faster long runs than Sainz and Piastri in FP2 though.
Max right now I feel is the best ever when you look at his driving.
Your hate for Alonso is never ending
It's called British bias
The Alonso performance disappointing?, this is becoming ridiculous Peter, you should seek help.
I think when he refers to Alonso as disappointing he means the team also considering what they throw at these cars and they just don’t seem to take that next step, Lance needs to go for that team to move forward though as you need two decent drivers in the team to work off data and improve
Precedent case for the Lando jumpstart and then stopping was 2019 Seb Vettel
Bearman was the highlight of the race.
Magnuson
Did very well
It’s all car. He is beating veterans who are better drivers. Means it’s all car.
@@illiniarmory3142 So by that thinking Max is crap cos he clearly has a massively better car.
For sure, but why did Ferrari choose Bearman over Shwartzman?
Fact: After winning pole postion on Friday, Max Verstappen was up until 4 a.m. iRacing in his room with Team Redline that night before obviously winning the Saudi Grand Prix the next day. There's footage on RUclips of Max in his room on his sim. 😳
Whats crazy is that from turns 4 to 12, its impossible to overtake if you know how to defend it. You could drop 2-3 seconds of your normal pace during that section and the guys behind you have zero room to overtake if you position yourself correctly, as seen from what Magnusson did.
I'am not in f1 since 2009.But it's allways pleasure to hear your analisis.
Live long and prosper.
There was a race last year where someone had "jumped" start, but stopped car fully before taking off again and also didn't get a penalty.
Max is too good for this sport, no matter what political troubles
Sigh. Car.
Indeed he is too good, hope he's going to mercedes, he wil still be wdc but won"t be so easy.
Clearly the car
@@s-pracing8514 If F1 is all car why didn't Bearman finish P4?
@@s-pracing8514 don't agree, he beat Hamilton in '21, mercedes was the best car that year.
So it's not always the car.
Banging track at the end!
Great analysis but Lando didn’t lose any positions off the start and was right behind Oscar until he overtook Alonso.
At this pace max and checo will take constructor champions before summer break 😎
Oscar was impressive !
Thanks...
Not impressive not being able to pass Hamilton doing always the same move and going off track.
@@docmccoy9813 did you not see the straight line speed difference between Merc and Mclaren ?
The only place you can overtake is at the end of the straights.
@@docmccoy9813you are clueless, go and look at top speeds, Oscar only had a 6km/h delta to Lewis, thats a fast walk and not enough.
We either need tires that degrade faster or way slower. Either way the drivers need to be able to push rather than preserve. 40+ laps on a set of tires is ridiculous
Or make the race 70 laps instead of 50
I want to see drivers pushing rather than conserving so I’ll take 30-35 laps on a set over going 4 seconds a lap slow just to preserve tyres every time
@@alexpeak16 I think if the tires are going to have that much life in them it needs to be a 2 stop maybe you have to use all 3 compounds during the race which should provide a multitude of different strategies
@@alexlucido4907 That’s a good idea, all we need to do is force the FIA and Pirelli to change their mandate.
I think we already did that, I forget which years, but within the last 10 years. The drivers just conserved their tires even harder
great analysis as usual, Thank you !
I would not use the word disappointing race for Fernando and Aston. They did better than the previous race.
Alonso's amazing qualifying lap put him in this position to be at the front. Yeah he's beaten by Oscar and McLaren. it's not the end of the world. But it seems that this year's Aston Martin car race pace is their weakness and he finishes just few seconds behind Oscar.
It was amazing to see how bad the brakes on Tsunoda’s car were. Because of his early breaking he made it impossible for him to pass Kevin. And Yuri’s defense when he was past was non-existent leaving a lot of room for Kevin to retake his position ahead of Yuki.
You’ve been talking up Bearman for some time. Seems you were right!!
Enlightening and enjoyable as always. :)
peter talking about aston as if it is just shy of ferarri or some shit
Peter, Carlos is not “fit and well” if he had an appendectomy. That surgery usually comes with two weeks of light duty, reduced level of activity.
What a performance from Ollie Bearman! 👏 To score points on his first Grand Prix after one practice session is just incredible and then Charles, he delivered the goods as always. It's great to see Charles on the podium again, unfortunately Red Bull is still too far away. A mixed weekend for us but what a race! 💪🏽 💚🤍❤ Forza Ferrari! 💚🤍❤
kid's got a bright future with F1!
The music in the end gives an opportunity to read comments. Quite nice.
waiting for this one
Oscar should be pumped for Melbourne!
I believe Lando didn’t gain an advantage but a penalty is a penalty just like Carlos and the drain cover. If they’re going to start going with spirit of the rule and not the letter I’d be even more pissed if I was Carlos(drain cover)or Piastri and Danny Ric (starting from pit lane -1 lap) even though no laps had been completed.
Very good points well made.
1:30 The McLaren is faster than Mercedes
1:41 9:05 9:21 He was referring to keeping George out of DRS, not attacking Oscar, and he did what he set out to do perfectly
10:55 What?! He beat four drivers that were in faster cars than him
11:27 It's solidly the fifth fastest car
Per: 0:22
Ver: 3:35 3:48
Max was on another planet,my man was cruising along,did a online race in the night before wahaha. Put Max in a Benz or Ferrari and he wins as well,maybe his heart rate would be from 78 to 79 because he has to work harder in those cars.Impressive drive from Piastri,Norris is losing the game and has to watch his back i guess. MAG a real streetracer and Yuki catching clown Ric.If Ric doesn.t improve his career is coming to an end shortly.Bearman was superb,the moment with his proud dad was priceless. Max congrulated him as well and was impressed,lovely to recognize talent. That is what Max his plans are after his career.He has his own team now to seek and develop talented drivers. And what could be better then to learn from the master himself.
Minimizing Fernando Alonso when the McLaren’s, Mercedes have a faster car on race day just shows the slight disdain for the Spaniard.
Nothing to take away from Piastri and his great result. But glorifying the MCL like it were the lesser vehicle and still “beat” the Aston Martin is egregious. The McL has clearly shown they are ahead at the start of this season.
Excellent review, as usual. Just one small point: Charles Leclerc didn't take the fastest lap from Max Verstappen, but from Lewis Hamilton.
1. Leclerc 1:31.632
2. Hamilton 1:31.746
3. Verstappen 1:31.773
Maybe a small comfort for Mercedes, that 0.027 second difference...
Bearman posted the 5th fastest lap...quicker than Perez in a RB.
both red bulls were in cruise mode by lap 10.
But not quicker than Russell in that silver shitbox, curious
the mercedes isn't that bad, they made an error with cooling setup in bahrain and their car wasn't suited to jeddah. People need to stop pretending that mercedes is as bad as the alpine.@@Evarakeus
Thank you Peter.
Peter has such a hate for Alonso. It’s weird. His car is definitely slower in race trim than both McLaren and Mercedes yet he’s beating most of em.
he also hates Checo Perez , i am not sure about Carlos Sainz . looks like he has a thing with spanish drivers
Clear bias against Fernando - is it personal?
Charles achieved the best result he could with good management of his pace over a very long second stint. Loved that he got Fastest Lap pipping MV by 0.1 sec. If only the Ferrari could find 0.4 sec or so then we would have a contest. Till then chill.
Agreed, I think that Ferrari still has pace to be found and will be better when it’s developed further but what has that RedBull still got to come? I don’t believe Ferrari built this car to compete for the championship this year but built it as development for the next car when they believe they can compete so they are doing very well. Charles looks to be maturing as a driver this year, he always had good one lap pace but never got the best out of a race car, he needs a mature driver next to him to learn from which might be the reason they signed Hamilton
A wonderful analysis, as usual. Thank you so much Peter.
An excellent race by Fernando Alonso, not a disappointing one. Then what about Russell and Hamilton in the factory Mercedes behind him...
Stroll kissed that same apex, during one of the FP sessions.
Apologies, if that's already been noted.
Love this sport 🇮🇪💚🏁
Pérez wasn't "released" infront of Alonso.
He drove through the red pitstop light and Hugh said - traffic traffic!
That penalty was his own fault.
Sorry it was for unsafe release not for anything else . He couldn't even see Alonso.
@@rupeshrao592 He could see the red pitstop light fine.
He's not supposed to go untill it turns green.
And what are you even talking about?
When did I say it was for anything other than an unsafe release?
@@likilikiki u r right. I went through the details again before replying . Its his fault
Astute observations... Appreciated..
Great image at 5:49 where is that from ?!
That McLaren in the fast corner was leaving the Mercedes for dead. Depite finishing high up Oscar's drive compared to Lewis showed the gap in race craft.
And the drama Yuki/Ric goes on ,Yuki missing out going down the rank and then Ric made a spin, lol.
Lee1💙💙
As long as Checo keeps doing what he's doing now, there's no way he's going to be replaced. And lets not forget he brings in a lot of money too because of Carlos Slim. Bear man left a lasting impression.
@Peter Did you notice Max's comments after race, how he lost the temp on tires after reaching the end of pack. Also Bottas commented they didn't get Hards performing. Sauber too slow for the tire temp cap?
Re: Olie Bearman - I think I was a tad unkind about his qualifying performance in that it was not as spectacular as Schumacher's debut at Spa etc., but with hindsight, he showed a maturity that belies his youth. I recall seeing really good F3000 drivers mortgaging their grandmother's homes to get a drive in F1 with back of the grid teams and justifying the cost because 'It's F1' and then being unable to prove anything (despite their best efforts) because the car was so bad - think Perry McCarthy and Roberto Moreno at Andrea Moda in '92. But Bearman had a drive with a top team and really earned the Driver of the Day award. He didn't stuff it in the wall, he improved substantially from his start position, and he was neither fazed nor intimidated by the more-experienced drivers he diced with.
I don’t think we will ever see another Schumacher moment like that again as these cars have evolved so much and are quite a different beast to drive and understand now especially regarding the aero aspect
Oscar mopped the floor with Lando all weekend!
Very poor take. On the same strategy I think they would’ve finished 4th and 5th…yes with Oscar ahead. Lando was significantly quicker in 2 of 3 practice sessions and qualifying gap was less than half a tenth. That’s not “mopping the floor” with anybody…that’s two very evenly matched teammates.
@@adamheddle430Correction, data showed Oscar was quicker in the race, look at when they were both on mediums in first stint, Oscar was pulling away. Nice try though.🙂
@@adamheddle430
Quicker than Oscar in the race??? Lay off them drugs man.
@@adamheddle430
I had live timing up. Oscar was pulling away on same tyres. If you search hard enough, you can always find the 'data' you want.
@@adamheddle430
Nice try, weren't on same tyres after first stop, Oscar stuck behind Lewis. How do you say he was faster then? Back to the drawing board.....
Haas must be delighted to have finally solved their tire degradation issues. Last year both cars would have filtered to the back
I feel like the pit stop rules should slightly change to: at least one pit stop in which you switch compound tyres and a stop under normal racing conditions. So in today’s case, everyone who stopped under SC conditions would have had to stop another time, but Lando and Ham would have been fine with just their one stop.
Congrats to RB and Max, Checo. Brilliant Ollie debut, and Piastri (IMO) Driver Of The Day.
Piastri?? For following Lewis around and not being able to overtake him clean?! All he showed us is that the hype is over and he is just not so great.
💪
You comment simply confirms you are clueless@@bjrnchrstn
Piastri was great in the race, you clearly don't understand how anything works if you think being stuck behind hamilton for a few laps makes him a bad driver. Piastri got a win (albeit just a sprint win) before norris has. You're so god damn deluded if you think piastri is bad.@@bjrnchrstn
@@bjrnchrstnwhat a horrible take at least watch the sport. you’d know that mclaren has zero straight line speed and horrible DRS. even with that, he finished P4. just because he was behind hamilton doesn’t mean he’s a bad driver
McLaren race pace looked strong Piastri was just as quick as Leclerc he just struggled to overtake more w their top speed disadvantage but on the other side their high downforce setup meant they were also monsters in the medium high speed turns
They really need to address the drag issue because suzuka will be their best chance for podium till upgrades come in
@@sleepypixie8828 They dont have a problem with drag, the mclarens top speed without DRS is really good. It's the problem with DRS + Mercedes were running low downforce. Put 2 and 2 together and you can't get passed. Mclaren are bringing a massive aero package to Suzuka, Luckily there is only 1 short DRS zone and the entire track is about aero efficiency and high speed cornering. If this massive upgrade package thats coming works, they could challenge red bull.
@@FormulaDynasty you're right. That's what i meant. Their drs is inefficient. Btw i thought they're bringing upgrades in miami not suzuka
bring back chapters in the videos
would help!
Red Bull is dominant on and off track. They want it all. Even the gossips... no Mercedes, no Ferrari, but again RB. So unfair😁
They are not dominant in TV coverage! Magnussen did a great job for HAAS in that aspect creating a 6 car train.
Conclusions:
1. Daniel Ricciardo, Nico Hülkenburg, Kevin Magnusson need to leave F1, so that Liam Lawson, Ollie Bearman and Kimi Antonelli can join F1 this season;
2. Aston Martin is clearly slower than McLaren who made a strategic error with Lando. Fernando Alonso could not drive faster with this Aston Martin;
3. Lewis was strong today, while Oscar had a disappointing drive. Ferrari has proven that Lewis is making a smart move with the swap.
We see how smart it is
Oscar didn’t have a “disappointing” drive
Vettel in Japan i think 2019 moved before the start and wasnt penalised.
Max had cold tires because he had been going so slow on 42 lap old hards and he had the room to do so that he couldn't get them heated up for a fast lap run on the final go. He made that radio call right as he was crossing the line to win. Funny enough both him and Charles had the same idea. I think Charles had to push a bit harder in the Ferrari than the RB's.
Really? The team that's made the most improvement is McLaren?! Need to remind you that Ferrari is 2nd in the standings, and if it wasn't for Sainz's health issue, they would be 3-4, for sure.
You shorted KMag credit for keeping the DRS Train that let Hulk pit and stay in 10th!
2:57 can't remember the last time? Lemme remind you mate.
LH did the same in 2023 brazil gp and also he gained a position cuz of it.
That redbull is so fast this year even perez looks fast
We will see how perez forms as the season goes on, since perez usually does OK at the start of a season. Wait until the mid season to judge him.
When was the last time four and a half Brits took psrt in an F1 race?
While all the other drivers were already asleep...Max: ruclips.net/video/ftAUPrQJ5EQ/видео.htmlsi=GtyWm578FRBTHbJH
Hello, can you please give me an answer why we have five drivers Zho, Bottas, Ricardo, Lance, Logan that not worth an F1 seat with so many talent around like in F2???? What is happening ???!
Well, the answer to your question when did a driver made a jump start and escaped penalty was Sebastian Vettel, in 2019 Japanese Grand Prix...
Last one to get an in-race penalty for a jump start was Alonso in China 2010, that was a drive-through. Maldonado got a 5 second penalty for the same thing in Spa 2012
@@alexpeak16 Well, since you're mentioning drivers who GOT the penalty for jump starts, I guess the most recent one would be Kimi Raikonnen if I'm not mistaken.
@@DebjitGoswami Remind me when that happened
Peter, where can I get one of those Jetcraft hats?
Peter has never liked Fernando Alonso much. Not sure why that is....
Magnuson
Piastri
Bearman
Oh Mr. Windsor: From far away we could see your animosity towards Alonso. All simulations gave him p7 or 8 and he did 5. But you are disappointed. That’s funny!
