He's the best driver full stop. I cannot recall an era where one driver seems superior to his peers. Maybe in the early years of Schumacher.

@@TheDanishSpacemanyou must be new to F1 Senna dominated Schumacher while he was alive. Dam you newbs are quick to type yet don’t know shit 🥱

Please a blind horse see what a genius this boy is .he is writing history just 26 years old. Listen to a man as Peter Windsor.enjoy the years off this already 26 years legend amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼

better than all the rest.

I think his enthusiasm for online sim racing is, at the very least, helpful for his ability to concentrate and be mentally sharp for long periods of time. Possibly helps with his reaction time as well.

I wonder if Hamilton is having 2nd thoughts...

@@lordbrad5975 pretty sure he is

How can you be so sure it's the same? The sticker? Lol.

@@HN-ol7oz And the Earth is flat and they faked the Moon landings.

He’s not as good a driver? I think Max could win in any of the top 4 cars.

@@HN-ol7oz And the Earth is flat and the Moon landings were faked

You are a funny guy Rocky. Yeah, let's do a deep dive. 😂😂😂

Unlikely , the mcl is always a tricky car . Lando personally stated the upgrades dint make any change to the feel of the car . Max likes a really pointy car , when he doesn’t have it he complains of slight understeer. Even if he jumps in now he would be easily behind oscar it’s not just that simple to adapt to a new car especially the mcl

Max would win races once he understand the Mclaren and how to set up the car. The guy is like an engineer

There must be some sponsorship reason for that decision. Nothing else, makes any sense.

Max's 1st and Perez's 8th in Spain earned Red Bull more constructor points than any of the other teams last time out. I take your point, though.

Perez suffers from the same problem Lewis is. They simply don't trust the car. Perez likes rear stable cars, but the RB20 is an edgy strong front-end kind of car. This is why his father was saying the team designed the car around Max, but the Red Bulls always had a strong front-end because of the high rake they used the run. Besides that, are you sure they have a better driver as a replacement. Ricciardo and Tsunoda also are not consistent. Lawson left last year a good impression, but after the experiences with Gasly and Albon, do you really want to put a rookie next to Max in such a high pressure environment? However, if Ricciardo doesn't improve within the next few races, I suspect Marko will pull a De Vries on Ricciardo and replace him with Lawson. If Lawson does as well as last season, maybe he can promote to the big team. And let's not forget, Max doesn't seem to have off days. Most likely because the only thing he does is racing. If he isn't racing for Red Bull (on track or their simulator), you'll find him online where he is also one of the best in all kind of different cars... Leclerc is facing a whole different problem. Sainz was dropped in favor of Leclerc, but Sainz seems to be one more consistent at the moment. That puts a lot of pressure on Leclerc to prove he is worth that Ferrari seat (next to Hamilton).

​@2Fast4Mellow the car favours fast drivers, that's why perez can't hang. Having an aggressive front not only makes for a faster car but, if done right, also has less tyre wear.

You can be sure that his contract has enough performance clauses that they can get rid of him as soon as they want.

To be fair Perez didn't had a clean last lap as he was stuck behind Ocon. His real pace was about 5 or 6 tenths slower than Max, which is still massive on this short of a track.

Max is great but comparing to Perez as evidence isn't he way to go. Perez is not an elite driver.

@@anubiam3004 No. But Verstappen is. You're living in la la land if you think otherwise.

@@martingonzalez2850 Why you comparing Max to someone who is obviously struggling? Perez was almost equal to Max in the beginning of 22 and 23 until he got beaten by the concept of the car, like every other teammate hes had since Ricciardo. Hes not a legend, only fanboys jump to those conclusions.

​@@oransjball why isn't he a legend already? The guy is just 26 years old, has the most records in F1 ever, beats really good guys effortlessly, etc... If this doesn't make him a legend already, what does? And who are legend of the sport in your opinion?

Great ending music too...

It's not the best car for some time now. Perez' performance is partly evidence for that. It has to be clear even for the most skeptical denyers now that Max makes the difference these times, by driving almost perfect and consistent, and outperforming* his car. * I know, theoretically that's not possible, you nerds, but in the practical world of racing it is. :)

It's not the best car, that is measured by the 2nd driver as well.

@@Wuppie62 Yes, allthough Verstappen is getting a bit flattered by Perez not being to able to handle his, the fastest, set ups. If they both stepped into a more neutral Mercedes, McLaren or Ferrari right now they would probably be only 2 tenths apart. But I agree, Verstappen has been much more or more often dominant than RedBull in past 2 years. We tend to forget that also in the 1st half of 2022 and the 2nd half of 2023 only Verstappen was at the front.

Perez always had a big gap from Max, but as they had the most dominant cars ever in 2022 and 2023, Perez could get second place easily. When the field compacts, the drivers fill the gap between Max and Perez, and it seems like Max is a legend, but this always happened, the dominant car just hided it

Ah, shur there was the info in the video description 🙈

lando is probably the best driver in the field at working his tyres over a race distance. Mclaren/lando combo is better than the MaxRBR combo since Miami. Weight the credit to car or driver, its still a reality

@@mutleyeng😂

@@mutleyengwhatever you believe boy 🤣

@@mutleyeng LOL!!🤣

35-40 actually

yeah i thought the gap was much bigger than 0.5

He didn't put in a proper last lap but was in a train of cars. Half a second is the realistic difference, as it has been so often for years now. Nothing special therefore.

@@DenUitvreterthe excuses never end

@@quigglyz Well it's literally what's happened. He was stuck right behind Ocon on his last lap because they all went out so late. In SQ1 and SQ2 he was about 0.5 - 0.6s behind Max. So even with a clean lap he would've probably ended where he is now anyway.

@@quigglyz You clearly didn't watch SQ3 properly if you think it's an excuse.

I think its a tiny bit of Max being a masterful driver and a lot of Perez being that bad. Lets be honest the Redbull car this year is mighty even if it has been matched by Mclaren in some races and Perez is too far behind. If Max was outperforming the car massively (like George Russell in a Williams) there would be some circuits where he would only finish mid pack but he is consistently winning so thats not the case. If Perez driving speed was in decline there would still be some races where he would get decent finishes because of the car and from more forgiving circuits, thats fairly consistent with this season. Perez has spent more time this year fighting the HAAS cars for position than fighting his team mate, and the same is probably true for the Mclarens, Mercedes and Ferraris sadly.

Possibly certain parts of there engine gets alot hotter due to the way it's packaged? Only thing I can think of really but good point

​@@darkwa456 Their

U can’t really judge they went from mediums to soft . It’s just that which driver is a natural to their cat

Based on what?

Yup.....Hamilton passed him as if out for a Sunday picnic

They need not be , ideally Osc being ahead would help as he can attack max as he cooks the tyres anyways . And lando doing his usual management ,lando can easily win in the ending of the stint

​@@lostmind24I hope you are right. It's about to start, so we will see.

@@pfuepfue9107 the opposite happened😭, he got ahead of lando after cooking his tyres

@@lostmind24 Yeah, but P2 for the start tomorrow, so he may yet get a win this weekend.

#teamLH. Sore Lewis

If Peter didn't say so then NO! Stop trying to minimize his performance.

he didnt , why you think so ??

No, Max didn't encounter any cars on his last lap

Seconds separated when these times were put down. The wind didn’t change that much Try again

@@toolegittoquit_001 it’s good to know you measured every cubic meter of the air and track temps in real time. George went from 4 to 1 last week which I suppose you don’t see, all because of the wind blowing at 20kph the same wind all other cars had as well mind you. All because of the aero dynamics we run on these cars now is the sole reason he was able to make that pass. Try - paying attention to the world around you -again.

We will call that a Grand Slamstappen

Continuing normal service 😁

On racepace with low fuel,mclaren is the stronger car..... much stronger!

@@robertjoostens The car might be, not the drivers

Afcourse, he went over de curbs and gravel....he makes every year more mistakes, from 2020 until now he isn't as good anymore....

I mean, you do drive a shorter distance over the lap and can accelerate better. I think you also misunderstood.. PW im sure would gladly admit that he cant drive an F1 car to the level of any of the guys on the grid in any style... or better yet, he cant drive the cars to any sufficient level.. he is able to identify driver styles though.

And yet u r here....lol

I think you should mention what you would like to hear about then, instead of only complaining, you know?

maybe Peter is an ace on the sim?
