It's actually really interesting how Max focuses on corners 2 turns in advance. His line through turns 1-4 shows how he thinks.

Due to the higher exit speed it also makes overtaking easyer (short corner driving) hence it always seems Max has no problem with overtakes and alot of overspeed, where Perez is often stuck for alot of laps behind cars

Yeah I love how he sets himself up so even if hes a bit slower before, he gains a massive lead in the next couple turns because of his prep

And you call is classic, because it's tried and true and works for 90% of all racing cars. Granted, aero cars like fast in, fast out because speed + aero = grip, even in braking, but here they're both using the aero so it's not relevant. If Max could tighten up a few of his braking zones and still manage to get the same launch, he's got 3-5 tenths compared to Perez. A few of those corners I feel like he gave up a few tenths under braking. Then again, probably he knows this and he was protecting against flat spots.

@@Real28what is bro yapping about

​@@treytonlandplayz3151ok, but p18 !?!? in quali. Omg

Hamilton made a mistake braking into turn ...... 14 I think.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast bub!

This was my first thought when watching this 😆

Ít's their quali lap buddy... no tire management. Max is just much smoother, in each corner his car is settled much earlier... he seems slow in but is so fast out because of car control. Perez goes in much harder and then has to fight the car much more. That is what this visual doesn't display, it's purely animated on times and not exact position... you don't see the actual over and under steer they have to deal with.

@@MickayGno. Tire management on quali laps still exists. You dont want to cook your tyre in sector one. Did you ever watch quali session live? Im sure you would hear that from commentators eventually if you do

@@nhs.14 Semantics buddy... quali is about being the fastest, not managing tires for a long run... yes of course they don't want to cook their tires same as that they don't want to blow their engine. But they only have to put down 1 fast lap on 1 set of tires.

Also, the fact that he normally brakes early means he has a better chance of adjusting the braking when having to overtake. Perez always brakes late so when it's time to overtake he struggles more to find a spot.

Did you see his braking last year in Vegas? Would brake earlier, then ease off the brakes and into the corner, with a nice balanced car. There was a few times Charles looked like he was going to make a late lunge on him and he'd just coast right on by him into the corner, then take off because he had the faster corner speed. The man is master at braking and finding grip

WOW - imagine watching the same material on youtube as my ex-colleague! I have wondered where in the world u find yourself my friend

​@@jonor68 Hey there Jonathan! A small world indeed! I am still in Florida, USA. I hope you enjoyed this content and the race. I also hope and trust all is well. Take care, mate.

i envy these two

Me too - small world!

Yes, and therefore Checo wears out brakes and tires quicker.

That's what I gathered too. He knows exactly where the grip is from the apex to corner exit, so his traction and acceleration is unmatched against Perez' late breaking corner entry approach. Interesting divergence in use with the same hardware, skill making the ultimate difference to keep Sergio off pole

perez is just on more downforce setup thats why max have faster top speed go check the onboard

@@briangiven7399 it's like Lauda used to say..."I can feel the car with my ass"...meaning he can FEEL where the perfect apex is, and when the car is at the absolute limit of traction when cornering

This doesn't tells a lot about downforce control, gear changes, reaction times, and engineering of cars. Saing the cars are identical is wrong, when we are talking about hundreds and tenths of seconds..

i could be totally wrong, someone can explain it better but, the way you interpreting this video is wrong because when someone chasing the other car, in this case perez chasing verstappen, because verstappen is 0.2second infront, he will look like he brake earlier but thats because perez is not close to his braking point. I mean when braking point is 100m, max is braking at 100m while perez is chasing him at 150m or 200m or something. Thats why when max brakes, perez will be still on throttle so it would seem like perez is braking late and "catching max" at braking zone. But that is not the case usually. This sometimes confuses amateur drivers to crash the car infront, because they think they can brake same braking point when they are chasing someone, but in braking zone you close the gap naturally because of what i explain, so you have to brake earlier in order to avoid crash. Hope i explained somewhat correctly

the "0.2 second" gap is not the same interms of distance between you and lead car in braking, relative to on straight. Because lead car would be braking when you are still on throttle so gap will be automatically closer. But once he accelerate, you will be still on the brake so gap will be 0.2 seconds again. That is natural, not because of the behind car braking late. Atleast we cannot understand this from this video analysis, this is what im trying to say

@@barandemir364 Your talking nonsense. This is qualifying. So no cars in front... MV is a short corner driver which means he brakes indeed early.

@@barandemir364Yh ur right, u totally wrong

@ebm80 bro u are not allowed to make comment on this with this stupidity, yes there is no one in front in QUALIFYING LOL. But in video perez is chasing verstappen, that is same fn thing as chasing irl,why don't u understand that? Think about like this, they are in game and virtually doing qualy laps at the same time, perez's ghost car will be 0 2s behind therefore he is chasing max, meaning that when max is at braking point 100m, perez will be at 150 200m, its just the same. One difference is they cannot crash each other this time, because its just analysis video not real life so perez doesn't need to brake earlier to not crash max, which he would have to irl, so they are getting much much more closer in this video at the braking, which adds up to my point actually

What driving lane? Passing lane or slow lane?

@@IgnitionP the assisting lane on racing games/ the ideal driving line for racing

He probably simulates it from lap times. But he won't say a word lol

@@igor7600 thats called business ethics

most likely from some f1 data paywalls

It's just the video feed.

I think he uses mini sectors for this. But don't know about racing lines

Is this their actual racing line? Or is it the time that we’re only looking at?

And tyres.. Braking harder creates more temperature which in turn uses up the tire more so it goes out of life earlier in the lap.

SP not maximizing the exit of 2 in order to get on the gas sooner is a rookie mistake. I have to assume he missed something in his line because no way an F1 driver makes that choice consciously unless the car was made for that.

Yup Max's late apex into 2 is the main difference in the two laps. Timing it so that you both brake at the last second and have the perfect amount of speed to be out wide in 2 is really difficult. Doing it consistently lap after lap without running off the track is basically impossible. Max makes it look easy but if Perez tried to run that line consistently he'd end up off the track.

Correct. It is simply a matter of ‘driver’s intelligence’. Max has long proven he’s the complete package.

​@@Real28in the video you cant see though there are mistakes, those mistakes cost him tenths , some mistakes are so subtle only the driver know what he did wrong

Max style is better for overtake no one able to put max behind for any lap but Perez get struck behind for whole race against slow car like Brazil 23 Vegas 23 china sprint and race 2023

A.) the lines are certainly not the same, and the difference are exactly what makes Verstappen faster (he shortens the corners and lengthens the straighs, and goes on the gas earlier, which pays of during the straight where he has more speed because of this), B.) What you don't see is that Max drives with an extremely "pointy" and "nervous" setting of the car, which is faster because the car rotates easier through the corner, but also harder to drive compared to the easier more "understeery" setup that Perez needs.

@@rientsdijkstra4266 Are you saying that the information about breaking points and when the acceleration starts would be useless?

@@rc5056 Nope, on the contrary, what I am saying is that Verstappen has more talent, and is better able to understand and feel how braking points and acceleration help him produce the fastes laptimes.

Probably different wing settings. Im guessing Max can drive with less downforce.

Exit speed from the corner, if max accelerates out of the corner sooner he will get to top speed sooner hence the tha gap increasing

This is quali lap... i don't clean air plays a role here.

Bro wtf you are talking about, they have the same clean air

He has to go frame-by-frame for both cars for their entire map and plot their exact position. It's terribly exhausting. I tried to do it once for my own channel, and it cost me thousands of dollars, two full-time jobs, and a marriage. Just leave it to the pros.

Wake me up when fia finally nerf rb

lol you really can't tell the different approach and exit? Has nothing to do with the car.

By being the greatest F1 driver

Telemetry proves they have the same top speed, max has better corner exits and pulls ahead thanks to it. Cope more

Verstappens better and more fluent control in the corners enables him to go on the gas earlier and make more speed. That difference pays divident over the whole straight that follows the corner...

@@rientsdijkstra4266 Yes but That is a drivers skill not a prob of who has more pace.

@@AbouTaim-Lille I think you are missing the point: it is Verstappens drivers skill that CREATES the extra pace. That is precisely why RB pay Verstappen 55 million a year and Perez only 8 million a year.

Y lo tienen cariño

I was looking for that too. Such a chill vibe.

its because verstappen break early. infact perez never get close to overtake since first corner

@@dog910817 yup 😃😃

Max usually focuses more on rotation and corner exit than aiming for the fastest corner entry. But the biggest reason is that the gaps look closer when the cars slow down. On the long straight with the higest top speed, they travel a lot more distance in 0.3 seconds than in the slowest corner that follows. Which results in a concertina effect.

@@souffle01perfect explanation for naive fans

These are two qualifying laps superimposed, they were just racing air.

Answer: Max is in a different class compared to Perez, Max is fast on his way to becoming the GOAT, Perez is just a good average F1 driver. Max has a brain that more deeply understands the dynamics of traversing a circuit, and that enables him to consistently find time on Perez.

Cuál es tu conclusión?

"It always gets me to read the comments on this topic and confirm that there's people out there so naive as to believe that these two are actually -driving the same car- have the same skillset." There, fixed it for you. No worries, sometimes life can be confusing and you get lost in weird ideas and theories. Sergio himself has confirmed the cars are the same, but I guess you are not able to process this simple fact. To get a bit more serious, he enters and exits corners differently and is thus faster. Now do this like a robot-like consistency and there you have it, he will be faster with every lap. Let them race for 300+ laps and Max will lap the field. Not because he is magically pushing some premium-plus-extra-turbo-throttle, it is because that man is incredibly consistent at his race craft.

Sigh... Again and again and again we need to explain to those like you, who don't understand what the real problem is: the problem for Perez is exactly that they DO have the SAME car. And that is precisely the PROBLEM for Perez. Because as others have shown, Max wants a car that is very sharp and pointy, which is fast but also difficult to handle. Perez needs a more easy "understeery" car, and with RB he doesn't get that (because with the cost cap it is to expensive two build two different cars). Which is a problem for Perez, because this car is developed for the faster and better Verstappen.

@@rientsdijkstra4266 It is frustrating isn't it? There seems to be some form of Calimero effect amongst our Mexican friends, they just cannot accept that Max is the better driver and as such "it has to be the car, they are messing with Checo!" For our dear Mexican friends: Usain Bolt wore sneakers, his competitors also wore sneakers. Please tell me, did Usain get better sneakers that made him faster or was Usain Bolt just damn quicker and better? Dear Gods, it's like you have to explain this crap to little kids....

​@@reddwarf666your analogy is not fair, the car is a very more important thing that the sneakers or super pro Nike spikes. That's why Alonso with all that talent can't do a GP with the AM machine. It's ok for all of you telling that Max is a master, Perez has the fortune to drive RB19 and RB20, unfortunately for him being in the best team doesn't mean the best performance. Hamilton or Norris could be better than him against Verstappen? We'll never now.

El motor no tiene nada que ver. Como puedes ver en este vídeo y como han demostrado muchos expertos, Verstappen aumenta su velocidad eligiendo trazadas que acortan las curvas y alargan las rectas, lo que le permite pisar antes el acelerador y ganar más velocidad.

Funny. All Mexican reactors are convinced that Checo drives a slower car than Max’s. The uncomfortable truth however is: Checo is a slower driver.

@@hermanmertens8383 no entiendo..! Y soy de 🇦🇷 argentina y fans de Lewis N1
