.5 second every second lol

The problem might be that if Lewis and Alonso are having average days, then Max on his own is worth half a second over the other good drivers in the field. While it's hard to get a direct comparison, Ocon is the best bet. He was broadly in line with Perez and now Gasly when they were teammates. He was maybe 0.20 off alonso over the time they were teammates, sometimes more sometimes less but on average 0.2. Max was 0.75 faster than Gasly, is 0.6 faster than Perez (on average). The only person that was close to him was Danny Ric in his prime, while Max was a very young rookie, basically a schoolboy racing against men. On their day in a championship contender, I don't doubt Lewis and Alonso could match Max, but as they get older, those days will come less and less. At the moment, it's like tennis when Federer and Nadal got too old to consistently keep up with Djokovic. He just won everything.

@@donaldfarquarLewis couldn’t match max in a much faster car. Him and bottas literally crashed him out 3 times (rear ending him) and Lewis would run wide on purpose to crash him. Lewis isn’t that great of a driver unless he’s in the best of the best car. He’s top midfield driver.

​@@TheBajamin That's the worst typo of "I'm stupid" that I've ever seen. Like, how did you manage that?

@@kaichisendou😂👏🏼👏🏼

I’m willing to wager Stroll has more fans than Ocon

I've seen more Haas fans than Ocon fans, tbh

​@Jerryattrickliverspottedhands cause strolls actually a mice guy who gets on well with his teammates and the grid in general. He's also not as bad a driver as a lot of us like to portray him as. Aside from the whole, daddy buying him a team and multiple world champions to teach him and probably not seeming to mean as much to him as the other drivers (although we can only assume there)... aside from all that he seems like a pretty chilled guy that gets on well with those around him and he seems to be aware he's been gifted job security nobody else gets and gets more chances, less pressure. Tho I can only imagine what different sort of pressures may come from your dad being your boss and not being able to have real away time from his work, and being put next to former world champions and compared to them in recent years. He also had one of the best rookie seasons of all time statistically which always surprises me to remember! To be fair to ocon, people do say he's absolutely lovely off the track and away from the work dynamics, but beyond competitive in the car and very aggressive defensive around racing generally. Which I can kind of understand since he's one of very few on the grid who didn't come from decent wealth and family had to sacrifice enormously for him, so can only imagine the pressure to deliver and prove it worth it and pay his family back for their sacrifice. And losing his seat to lance and realising how fast it can all slip away. I can understand a bit of desperation in his behaviour to cling on. But it does make him rather unlikeable in how he treats acts with his teammates and never really ending a partnership without issues. Especially when he's had teammates that are well liked. But people do say he's one of the nicest guys to exist when he's away from the racing. Whereas lance is quite the contrast on that since he's shown very mature, respectful and collaborative relationships with teammates and its definitely helped his image that Fernando likes him a lot and Charles saying he's one of his best friends on the grid. Theyre a funny comparison since thehre so opposite in a lot of ways. People are put off lance because of his immense priviledge, but like he's a great teammate that gets on well with everyone. While ocon comes from comparatively low priviledge, which makes people respect him for working harder to make it, and that he appreciates all his family sacrificed so much (which made him come off really well in the DTS episode on his background and got him supporters or sympathisers at least). And that he lost a seat essentially because of lances priviledge helps ocons cause but hinders lances ofc. But in contrast to lance he has a terrible reputation for how he acts in the car and treats his teammates. Though people do rate his skills and how hard he works and respect how desperately he wants it compared to the sentiment lance doesn't want or appreciate his F1 shot as much as others. But then theyre both considered lovely easy going guys away from racing. It really is an interesting comparison you picked!

Tldr

​@@Jerryattrickliverspottedhandstbf stroll had moments of brilliance

It was actually more like 8 tenths per lap. Embarrassing for everyone once again.

25s to Sainz in 57 laps. Remove 7-8s for the time Sainz lost in traffic and fighing others and killing his tires, thats about 3 tenths per lap. Then again, Max could probably go 2-3 tenths faster.

@@daarom3472 Yeah, I was talking about Russell.

​@@daarom3472 tbf, max had the better Strategie with Softs at the End see Ric catching like a 6 sec gap

​@@ehrlichgesagt863 Ricc and Tsunoda were exactly 10 seconds apart after their final pitstops. Ricc had to overtake Albon on the first straight (no problem) and sat behind Hulk for a lap or two before Hulk pitted again. Ricc cleared about 8 seconds to Yuki in 8 laps regardless of Albon and Hulk before he latched on. Yuki was 1 to 2 seconds behind Kmag for the same amount of laps proving no superior pace to the Haas until AFTER the swap was ordered on lap 50 where he finally got into Kmag's DRS. Because Yuki ignored orders, Max caught up to this group and this resulted in Max ironically giving Kmag a tow and DRS to catch up to Zhou.. which basically turned the group in a Zhou DRS-train for the remaining three laps. Had Yuki let Ricc pass sooner, he would've had better tyrelife to overtake Magnussen (who wouldn't have had the DRS advantage from being close to Zhou yet) - and could've potentially picked up Zhou once Max lapped him. Here's the kicker: Ricc's engineer thought Zhou was p10. So the swap was mandated on the belief that Ricc could pass Kmag and Zhou (both on old Hards) for a points finish.. But he messed up, because Zhou was p11.

You really believe a Dutchman is shocked by a Brit being "blunt"?😂 Dude.. you have no idea.

A bull second.

Might fancy changing George “fuuu that looks fast” Russell to George “underpromise, overdeliver” Russell, at least in my books

Fun fact: This is one of Steve-o's life motto's!

@@samoverbeek4778 Then i guess Alpines quote of the season should be: "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail" - Chris Pontius 😂

as Scottie said, that's how you get the nickname of a miracle worker.

I seriously want these two to team up. Imagine the comedic gold on down time and heated exchange when racing. 😂

Though he can't beat the Lord of the Eyebrows (Alonso)

He is THE Latte drinking femboy of F1.

George is actually a very normal down to earth guy. All these weird fans think he’s some rich snob. He comes from a middle class family unlike Max and Lando with their rich Daddies.

@@c3vznhummmmm, perhaps now. Quite funny to have heard Jos was waiting in their small camper (bus) picking Max up from school so they could drive to race tracks abroad. Wealthy now but not the "Stroll-wealth" (or Mazepin eg). btw: it must have contribute in Jos losing his mariage while MAx didn't want to be in that school to begin with. "Rich" you said? hummmm

Lisan al gaib

I got the old British gent thing too from George. Look at him sitting there legs crossed just like his grandad would sit. 😂

Yes, but max would be 0.5 faster than Russell even in the same car.

@@seag1492he wouldn’t 😂

​​@@seag1492 Not really. Russell is a top 5-6 driver on the grid imo. Verstappen Lewis Alonso Leclerc Russell Norris

​@@HoopsTalk123honestly I think albon is top 5 based on what we have seen obviously no way to know for sure without a better car

​@@HoopsTalk123 Also sainz should be in the conversation there definitely not as good as leclerc but it is pretty close

Pressure slows you down. So no, not more than 1 sec.

​@tykeboy16 Pressure doesn't necessarily slow you down, though. If there's no pressure, he doesn't have to push anywhere near as hard, and can instead conserve fuel and tyres over the lap.

Also hé said hé whas cruising to preserve the engine, so I could be more like a second when pushing

@@tykeboy16 pressure doesnt slow you down what lol. pressure is the only reason to drive fast. theres absolutely zero purpose to driving fast when theres no pressure. its instantly 100% preservation mode.

@@test-tl8dt pressure makes you drive defensively. Driving defensively slows you down. Zero pressure means you can drive the best racing line at all times. You know nothing about racing if you think pressure doesn't slow you down.

Agree he is loveble

Do you dream about him..

It was 22 seconds? Where is this information coming from, or are we talking a pre-season testing or something?

46??

+46 seconds gap between Max and Russell, check the post race results will you?@@_aibohphobia_

​@@_aibohphobia_ he had a 22 second lead to Checo, but this is about the deficit George had to him in the race.

​@@_aibohphobia_deficit to George not perez lol

No

More like 0.8 tenths per lap.

0.8 seconds sorry.

@@Idk-ys7rt yes

It was about 8 tenths per lap.

@@Idk-ys7rt Max was cruising with his windows open steering with one hand.

@@Idk-ys7rtguarantee that wasn’t full out. You saw the gap in lap 10. He was in cruise mode. His soft tires went forever.

@@TheBajamin I understand and agree that he wasn't pushing but still the gap was 0.8 seconds.

He did say 0,5 seconds per lap. Although it was closer to 1 second per lap, margin would be even bigger if he wasn't taking it easy at the end.

He was like 2 seconds ahead lol. Everyone saying .8 doesn’t pay attention. Max ran those softs so damn long and was still creeping ahead. He wasn’t pushing at all after lap 10.

Yeah, lets hear what the other drivers think about the 21 Silverstone "incident".

that's what he was saying, though!

It’s always per lap smh. Why would he say 0.5 second over a race distance? That’s be the most unbelievable finish of all time.

It’s way more than that. Max had soft tires going way longer. He wasn’t pushing at all. After lap 10 he just went into cruise mode.

​@@TheBajamin It probably is more than that, but those are the numbers we have right now. Anything else is just speculation. So we do work with speculative numbers? Or work with the information we have now?
