and he gets to race with stroll, the guy who just late blocked him. can't wait to see how they get along.

@@darthsnarf and he defended a car he should NEVER fight, it's not like he had any chance to keep his position there

Huge Seb fan, I went to COTA because I’ve been watching for a decade and this would be my last chance to see him race. My brother and I were standing at T1 and could see the Aston pitbox clearly. It’s safe to say to we both screaming when that happened. Btw my picture of the timing tower with Vettel P1, Hamilton P2, and Verstappen P3 has already become a cherished family heirloom.

@@Matthew_Troll That timing tower shot would sit in my wallet beside my family photo.

You king

legend

Maister! I still don't understand why the WTF1 can't be bothered to place markers

absolute legend

I was gonna like 👍 but i could not allow myself to ruin the 69

No wonder, they say he is the second worst driver, when he is ahead of his teammate until he got screwed multiple times and then gets 3 grades lower.

unfortunately, WTF1 race analyses are quite badly informed. :( they should research a bit more before talking trash about drivers who really did well and worked hard during the race. But bad luck and other idiot drivers cough:Latifi:cough screwed their race.

@@florinmocanu2005 ikr!! never watch their ABCDEF1, mainly just like their takes on all the incidents that happened during the races (quite fair) and their 3 words review

I don't understand it neither. For me he was driver of the day. Slowest care of the midfielders with huge progress.

i was at turn one and it was amazing

@@chriswikoff9672 oh well now I hate you.... haha that sounds awesome! So wish I could have been there.

same for yuki!

yes, I was watching him, and he was p13 and ended up p6 BEFORE the alonso penalty

...and shoutout to their families! #choirgirl

So many driver deserve a shout out. Charles Lewis and Max as well.

George Hustle

@@Ravakeksis Reorge Gussell

Ef it, I'll take it xD

😂

The GR in George Russell stands for the grim reaper

This season is a lot like 2012 for Lewis in Alonsos shoes a mclaren (ferrari) that is the second best but has just shit strategy over and over and a Vettel (Max) with a lot of pace but problems with the car.

He doesn't need to be aggressive. He's driving the comfortably fastest car this year.

@@wss33 Certainly not in the first half of the season. Ferrari was arguably the better car.

@@rosek7114 No they weren't. They always had better race pace. Even in Bahrain, Charles's defending was great and he was lucky Max's car broke down. But Red Bull had better race pace. Every time Leclerc was on pole, Max was immediately right behind him as soon as the race started, and he was faster.

@@wss33 bec max is literally the best sriver on the grid? What kind of argument is that bec he was close behind his car must be better??? Max has one of the best tyre saving driving style developed last year that he has arguble better saving then a checo on same pace thats the big difference charles was never good at saving same goes for sainz no wonder they look bad at those areas

@@ehrlichgesagt863Right, and Max is also faster on the straights because he pushes the throttle pedal harder. I assume this is your first season of F1. If a driver can drive 1 second behind, for many laps, that means they’re faster than the driver ahead.

@@7BD273 see if you read in full, I said "conspiracy theory" which means, I think it's false. But it's nice to see some F1 twitter in the comments. Go on, tell me about how you "know wheel" lmao

Meh Charles vs Max is much more refreshing. Two drivers from the same era, much more respect for each other.

But not hamiltons whining and snitching at the front....

@@jurgen_vdven he was

It was good to see, but cringe to hear. When Max passed him, he went straight on complaining about the track limits, which ironically he was crossing it himself...😂

Max and Lewis are best drivers on the grid by a country mile. Max beats Charles everyday of the week

Mick had balance issues before the crash. Then he drove right through it and had to pick a piece of debris off of his halo. Then the combination of changing out 8 lap old tires for hards and then Latifi crashed into Mick ofc and he got some “pretty serious damage” according to his engineer Gary. These 3 don’t care to look into Mick’s races and what’s going on within the strategy. Yes he’s crashed 3 times, but Haas is responsible for 90% of his failures to get points because of tire strategies, slow pit stops, favoring Kmag. Hoping Mick leaves Haas and comes back strong with Audi (2024) because the Haas environment is absolute garbage.

@@enexius67 Haas are greasy AF.

@@enexius67 I didn't know his car had balance issues. I agree that the way that Haas talks about Mick in the media is unlike most other teams, and they've seemed to find a way to ruin his race for like the 7 of his races this year. I'd rather he'd stay in F1 (even if it is at Haas) for another year until Audi comes in.

@@Brownkyl I hope Mick does amazing in Audi just so Haas would just regret everything.

@@georgeretsides4293 Me too.

Those seasons were pretty much only entertaining when Max was in the mix and pulled off a victory somehow. Ppl acting like the current RedBull is as good as the Mercedes from 2014-2020 is hilarious.

hey I was there to, section 6, row 10, seat 11. It was amazing to see Lando do all that, and chanting SEB when he passed while leading. Just wonderful.

@@chriswikoff9672 I was way up top, Section 1 row 30. The whole weekend was a blast minus the messed up line for the sunday shuttle out of the track lol

@@IAmKry I only went to the race. I think it was Riccardo drifting that McLaren which was quite cool, wished the others did that more. the worst part for me was the food line, 30 min for a $15 slice of pizza.

You hate that it was Alonso or that it was given in general? Shouldn't matter who it is.

Many races are “because of/only because” reasons. Thats racing.

💯 max would have been way ahead super fast car, exactly what merc was 2 years ago

In the final pit stop lewis was 1.3 sec behind max!Lewis was there but in the final part the medium was better

@@brianNJwatson of course, but I'm just putting things in the right perspective regarding Merc performance. It would be deceiving to think they came close or have tightened the gap. Nothing else.

Yeah I kinda think even if Max had started 20th he'd have still won this race. The RB has moved so far ahead of everyone else now.

I mean of course it’s possible when you’re like 3 seconds a lap faster

Only when you focus on mick you understand what bullshit he has to go thru

@@sipmitdip2538 It's a shame. He won't have a seat next year despite beeing the quicker guy for more than half of the season. And the worst thing, by only looking at the stats, it seems reasonable

@@sipmitdip2538 I watched it on Sky Germany, and having Ralph as a pundit, they do focus on him a lot. I feel so sorry for him, he gets so much hate all around but generally drives really well until he gets messed over by his own team

Let be real why go so close to somebody especially in his blind spot when you have the overspeed already.....

@@ehrlichgesagt863 so that you can take them by suprise. if your claim of overspeed is true, then he should still have seen him approaching in his mirrors

Yep, this bit showed really well why drivers are so concerned about debris flying around the track. Gave me Massa 2009 vibes. That winglet got guillotined 😳

You can sum up 2020 so easily lights out away we go, Lewis and Bottas ride off into the sunset and lewis wins. The fact Max almost took second place that season with 5 dnfs vs Bottas with 1 dnf, speaks for how good he is.

Exactly but some fans don't want to admit this. They even claim that Red Bull is way faster than Mercedes in the Mercedes area, I mean that's just utter BS. Ferrari messed up but had a chance of winning the Championship.....this almost never was even a possibility in the Mercedes area except in 2019 where Ferrari cheated and Hamilton shows why he is this generation GOAT. The fact Max was able to challenge Hamilton sometimes in the Mercedes area and actually win shows how freakishley talented he is.

@@MajieB speaking facts man, max was alwasy foreshadowing what a beast he is

I really feel for you guys and those in New Zealand as well,

Leclerc is one of the most aggressive drivers in the field. How is nobody mentioning the overtake Leclerc made on Perez? Also forgotten apparently that Leclerc has had many first lap incidents in previous season and was very prone to errors because of his aggressive nature.

@@the1gladiator2 He isn’t aggressive against other super aggressive drivers

@@I_AM_HYDRAA Yes he is, he has made very forceful moves against Verstappen for instance in Austria this year. Or how about his aggressive defense in Silverstone 2019? There isn't anything wrong with that as long as it is controlled aggression, but if you claim Leclerc isn't an aggressive driver then who is aggressive? When compared to Verstappen, Leclerc is the more aggressive driver on track currently.

To be fair though all cars are slow compared to the Redbull atm

And what mistakes did Charles make this race?

I agree. Leclerc really disappointed me this season, especially in France.

It seems like that under the circumstances. Without safetycars and louzy pitstops, he would be another 30+ seconds ahead.

@@okthen515 The Ferrari is still the faster car in qualification. By a fraction. But in race trim, they lose out on the tyre deg. If they can solve that, they would be much closer. But they would have to improve a lot in both team performance and driver error in order to be in contention for the title. I would be very surprised if they got all 3 in order. (ofcourse, they are interdependent. The more they can improve the speed of the car, the easier the margin gets to solve the other 2.) Other than that, they depend on Max' error. That's not a very fertile strategy.

I agree, now they need to name more corners. 17-18 could be named after Vettel

I think not aggressive enough but he can have his moments. I think to fight with max and Lewis he needs to take no prisoners every single race, only way he’s gonna be able to compete with those two especially if Mercedes have a car to compete next year.

agreed. bring on more equal machinery in 2023, I hope 😁

They're just saying historically world champions are on the aggressive side and push the rules to the limit and they don't see Charles doing that. It's not a good or bad thing, just an observation.

Leclerc is an amazing driver, very fast driver, always been that but I think he’s too nice. Hopefully in the next few years he’ll develop an edge to him to drive slightly more aggressive than he’s driving at the moment.

I agree, Leclerc is more than good enough to get multiple WDC's provided he got the material to do it with. This years Ferrari was good, but not good enough due to the tyre deg in race trim. (apart from the obvious errors of team and driver) But put in him in a car as dominant as the Mercedes of the past, en he will rake in multiple titles. Can he bend around Ferrari in that direction, like Schumacher? I don't see it happening to be honest, but who knows Ferrari get their act together on their own. Or build a car so dominant yet reliable (or finding a cheat for all I care) that those things matters less. But dramatic things at RBR need to happen to drastically alter their level. Historically, teams tend to grow towards the same performance under a rule freeze. Would be nice to have a 3-way championship.

Thats what separates max, lewis, alonso from the rest. Their willingness to take calculated risks. That skill cannot be thought.

Verstappen was 30 kph faster on the straight Leclerc had no chance

@@FormulaReign leclerc was faster in the corners tho, its just his tyre degradation is too bad

While I agree that would be really good viewing, current F1 is fascinating viewing as well. Granted, you do have to be Max fan to some extent to really enjoy it, but seeing the phenomenon at work is just cool. Ask me again in 4 years when Max is raking in his 6th title... 🙂

Didn’t even get a 2 way battle really

it doesn't matter 5 people battling for second place and Max will easily win again

Take max out of the equation and it kinda was a 3 way battle

Yeah, agreed. The random factor weighs much more if you have 22 races instead of 10. All the more incredible if Max manages to clinch 16, which is a distinct possibility. (he has to get to 16/22 to surpass Schumacher '04)

Yah. It was rediculous. Remember Lewis winning Silverstone on 3 wheel, while Max was chasing him for the win? How stupid would it have been if Lewis would have gotten a 30 sec pen after that 'for having an unsafe car'.

And the sad thing is that we're gonna have to wait another *4 years* until the new regs finally give us a level playingfield. Alonso and Hamilton might retire before then.

Thats on ferrari tbh max is unstoppable but the rb is no way near as ahead of the rrari/merc as the merc was to them in 14-16 19-20, rb just became the well oiled machine and max seems to have got his racemanship to the top, hes a monster now(always was but just a young bull now he cant be stopped)

Verstappen really is the best man in the best car. Combined, almost invincible at the moment. How many mistakes has he made the whole season, 2-3? How many that had a consequence? I can only think of Singapore, the bodged overtake on Lando. That's an insane standard. It surpasses Schumacher, who was prone to take a little detour off track when he was cruising ahead of the pack.

​@@Euclides287 if ferrari is Just doing something understandeble they would have a minimum of 8 wins, ofcourse redbull was quick and is mabye even better in the race, but they have been gifted a lot of points

@@recipoldinasty A monster? Of course a Dutch fan would say that. Even *Vettel* looked like an unbeatable monster when he was driving an *Adrian Newey* car. Let's see how much of a monster Verstappen is outside of Red Bull.

Agreed. Everyone's always credit him for being the first to admit mistake and accountability, and that maybe a great quality in general. But I have never seen any of the greats of the sport being like that. He is too nice, which is great bit maybe not in F1...

He is a aggressive driver lol its just bad management and frustration he doesnt think in other words he goes by feeling

@@ehrlichgesagt863 no he is not and this is not an attack on leclerc he clearly has potential but I’ve seen nothing crazy to make me think he can match Lewis or max.

Bruh he deserves a big old Z, he got in the way of the lead, disrespected Martin Brundle and he was shown more than most of the drivers... You don't do these things, doesn't matter who you are...

American celebrity culture.

@@tomm1413 not like he had a say in the broadcasting. Disrespecting Brundle is a big no no though.

exactly... funny how he missed that

Agreed. The only close race would have been a shorter safety car so everyone had to do Medium, Hard, Hard.

Verstappen was just managing his tires. He kept the distance about 1.5 and everytime Lewis got it down to 1.2, Verstappen pressed his pedal a little bit deeper and got it in a single lap back to 1.8 or 2.0 seconds. He did actually the same just before his attempt to overtake Lewis. But because the F1 TV director thought that age of tires and positions won/lost were far more important than the interval times it was hard to follow that, but after he overtook Leclerc he managed to close the gap to Lewis to about 2.5 second very fast and than he was dancing about 2 to 3 minutes around the 2 second mark, charging his batteries, cooling his tires and wait for the correct stop to start his overtaking... What surprised me the most, once Verstappen broke DRS for Leclerc and Hamilton he was able to accelerate like he had another gear or something. In the last 3 laps he managed to grow the interval from 1.5 to 5 seconds...

Zak Brown even said Boat-ass
