It would be so nice to have a longer video of a full lap with pedal cam. Everything doesn't have to be snappy editing, 2 people talking about racing is all you need. I like this video, but a longer one would have been so much nicer.

'i can make it 20 if u want, let me hit a wall' 🤣😂

I like it how Max is all about his racing. No overly marketing, no off-track spotlight. He's pure performance-focused.

It was great hearing them discuss the difference in approaches between sim racing and real life

" Must be the setup .. Can't be you " 😂😂

I like hearing both of them talking about their experiences racing around the current track. I enjoy it a lot more than the format that was used last year. Keep doing this 👍

was this a teaser? I want more

We definitely need more of them 🤌🏼🤌🏼

That's one good way to make a clear commentary when it comes to track guides.

We want to see the whole thing! Make it longer!

I kinda like and prefer the all-out intense fast qualifying type like of a Virtual Lap with pedal cam and blink counter. But this is nice too.

I don’t know if I like this format… I understand the necessity of not doing the same thing all the time, but I loved the multi screens to see the drivers how they attack the track and trying to make their best lap.

BRING BACK THE BLINK COUNTER! But I did like hearing the conversation and comparisons between how to tackle in the sim vs the game.

I love how Max is just casually chatting through this lap. I've spent a bunch of time in the F1 games and especially in Bahrain due to an addiction to starting career modes over again after a break. It's not a blistering lap, but damn I'd be happy with driving that smoothly. I always either over or under-rotate into 8 and get overly aggressive on the throttle coming out, and it's can feel like a crapshoot on 9/10 to get right. It's great how he's just focused on the driving part of this and not at all on any marketing or showmanship. His entire world is braking, smoothness, car setup, and feel. It's great to see.

Hey @Oracle can we please get a longer clip like this?

so good

we want moreeee Redbull Racing

Oh I always wondered if Max can hear this guy explaining the track and now finally I see they sit together...

Very smooth

1:32 As an hamilton fan i can confirm that lewis can make it 51 for you 💀

Max and Sim Racing 🎉🎉🎉🎉

What is the app you are using for the info on the ipad?

That's actually way slower then his real Pole lap which was a 29.7 - I did a 28.9 in the game So I am sure he can do that as well pretty easy since he does a lot of sim racing.

Seb has not only a wonderful voice, he is a really nice guy too! 👍🏻😃

What shoes was Max using in the sim?

É tetra campeão

🏎️💨

Max should make an setup and we try to beat his time with the setup he made :)

@Oracle Red Bull Racing is it possible to give a tutorial how to setup telemetry data for F1? I am an mechanical engineer and I am really interested in learning all these telemetry data analysis.

He’s definitely smoother than Horner’s texts to young female employees lmao

What do you mean "time to beat"? Mans wasn't even looking at the track half the time

I read the title as “How smooth is Max Verstappen brain”

"And then you stay here, right?" lol this guy can tell his grandchildren that Max Verstappen asked him for (sim) racing advice.

Is there a longer version?

Max would give a dreidel more front end if the settings would allow it.

TBH, last year's virtual lap videos were more fun to watch....this one needs a pedal cam or something to make it more watchable

THE ONLY DRIVER THAT COULD BATTLE VERSTAPIN....." FERNANDO ALONSO" OWWWW THAT WOULD MELT MY BRAIN!!!!😂😂😂❤❤😂😂❤❤😂😂😂

What game is that?

give full video (with all laps) pls with comms, ty :)

Can they do this every other week as a lead in to the race weekend? Kind of like a Nico Rosberg style lap analysis, but even more casual.

Yesterday I did 1.30,8 on keyboard, in your face Max

"I would give it more front end" -Max everyday of his racing career since karting

Nice!!! Max

He did 29.1 in real life

Without having seen it yet, my guess is 'pretty damn'.

At this point we all already knew that Max casually win F1 in between sim racing.

thanks for sharing, you inspired me to try something new

Thrustmaster should make a sim wheel for max

I do 1:29.1 in time trial and in qualifying 1:28.4

Please let us see the whole lap without cuts next time 🙏🙏🙏

I suck at F1 23. I cant do a single lap without tc or abs 😂

Like butter...of course.

THIS MF GOES FASTER IN REAL LIFE THAN A VIDEOGAME

They should have put a Pokornyi Engineering F1-Pro wheel on that Rig 🫤

Give us the Horner news?

FERNANDO, 2025 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤

I have not watched the video yet but should I be scared?

It will be ncie to have video where Max give is good insight how it feels IRL compare to the game. Where is the main diffrence.

Max isn't exactly new to sim racing! It's weird someone giving him tips on sim racing. EDIT: I realised this was the official F1 game so yeah, Max hates this title as do most actual sim racers!!!!!!

1.31.0? Set up the car and let’s go. All your pro challenges are done. 1:29

What about the other guy though? Would be cool to see a podcast form, each of them do a lap and they just talk through it. It'll be cool to hear them be able to talk about everything in a relax manner. Perhaps with Perez/other F1 drivers. Would be cool to see.

Isn't Max the #3 simracer in the world? Does that include F1 games?

Difference between sim racers and real racers, their necks.

yes make de video longer please.

How is he looking at the data on a tablet?

0:56

This Max fella is kinda decent at sim racing. Does he have any real life racing experience?

I don't care for the "gamer lectures Max" format. It was better when he was off camera lecturing the viewer 😂

so this guys responsible for max going faster in qualifying

How did I get here?

Why not more? 😢

🍀

Casually talking on the straight😅

"I mean I can make it 20 if you want..just bring in Lewis"

I cam tell Seb hasn't played f1 23 much

Hi Champ !! 👍2024😂

And allat while talking

I don't understand. Did we find out how smooth he is? Redbull just putting out content to put out content these days

f124?

He did 1.29 in qualy 😂

1.31.000 llol

Where is Fiona? Rumours said you guys fired her.

How does he go half off the track in career you just look at the white line its a track limit infringement 😂

even in simulator

hi

Don't hit 20 Gs in actual race though

my first 3 days on f1 23 was my second f1 game since 2019 and I got a 1:30\💀💀

Ok Not bad Bahrain set New record fastest lap is 1:31:000 see you At Sunday Night. ❤

So they deleted THAT vid. ahem.

WE WANT SEE CARLOS SAINZ WİTH MAX VERSTAPPEN FOR TEAMMATE IN 2025 :)

Qualifying shows Hulkenberg should be in the car, not Sergio

Two

I’m more excited for in 3 years when they are losing and explaining why max was never that good and the up and comer they got now is the best ever

The controversy around Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is "driving people apart", says the father of the team's F1 champion Max Verstappen. An anonymous email including messages purporting to involve Horner were leaked on Thursday, a day after Red Bull dismissed a complaint of inappropriate behaviour against him. Horner has refused to say if the leaked messages are genuine. "It cannot continue this way," said former F1 driver Jos Verstappen. "The situation is not good for the team and is driving people apart." Verstappen denied that he was the source of the leaks. The 51-year-old told the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf: "Why would I do that? Max has a contract with Red Bull until 2028, is performing great and feels at home here. I have no interest in that at all." Verstappen made similar comments to the Daily Mail, saying Red Bull would "explode" if Horner remained in his position, adding: "He is playing the victim when he is the one causing problems." Verstappen told BBC Sport he made the comments to the two newspapers after falling out with Horner in Bahrain. He added that Max Verstappen had seen the comments and did not say anything. A Red Bull spokesperson said: "There are no issues here. The team are united and we are focused on racing." On Sunday the Telegraaf reported that Max Verstappen had been asked by Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the president of F1's governing body the FIA, to back Horner publicly. BBC Sport has independently verified the story. Ben Sulayem's approach came after Max Verstappen gave only qualified support to Horner when asked four times in the lead-up to the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday whether he had full faith and confidence in him. The FIA has been approached for comment. Over the Bahrain event, the FIA repeatedly said that it was in conversation with F1 management on the topic of the Horner allegations. Jos Verstappen's intervention is potentially significant because Max wields major influence within Red Bull as a result of his success on the track. It also reflects internal tensions known to exist within Red Bull, between Horner and motorsport adviser Helmut Marko, and between the Thai majority owners and executives at the headquarters in Austria. Last year the Verstappens backed Austrian Marko after he had a falling-out with Horner. The company ownership is split, with 51% owned by the Yoovidhya family and 49% by Red Bull in Austria, under Mark Mateschitz, the son of co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz, who died in October 2022. Red Bull team boss Christian Horner arrives with wife Geri IMAGE SOURCE,GETTY IMAGES Image caption, Geri and Christian Horner were pictured together at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday Max Verstappen started his campaign for a fourth consecutive world title with a dominant win in Bahrain. The Horner controversy dominated events at the season-opening race. A day after Red Bull announced that the grievance against him had been "dismissed" following an internal inquiry, an anonymous email including messages purporting to involve Horner was leaked. Horner said: "I'm not going to comment on anonymous, speculative messages from an unknown source." He added that he was "absolutely" confident he would be in his role for the entire season. "I've always been entirely confident that I would be here," he said. "There was a full, lengthy internal process that was completed by an independent KC. And the grievance that was raised was dismissed. End of. Move on." An attempt to get him to say whether the messages were genuine was shut down by a Red Bull public relations handler. Red Bull have refused to release the name of the lawyer involved or give any further details about the report that was compiled or how they reached their decision. Horner's wife Geri visited the Bahrain GP on Saturday in an apparent display of unity. Chalerm Yoovidhya, head of the Yoovidhya family, was also at the race. Yoovidhya declined to answer BBC Sport's questions. The FIA said it was discussing the matter with commercial rights holder F1 Management.

tooo short

Doesnt max absolutely hate the f1 games?

Horner is already in the jail ?

Bravo ..vous garder un responsable . C. Horner en poste suite a des accusations grave .allez vous faire f o u t r e ...la f1 es un monde de m e r d e
