honestly think the corners are more max then anything but yea that RB is an absolute beast on the straights

Yup the slow speed corners, you can lose or gain most time in those AND in this case take also more speed with you onto that long straight

on god that part is the worst thing i have seen in f1

the fact that max has a decent race engineere makes the difference.

​@@sambitmohanty1270track designers be doing a lil trolling.

You driven it then?

Masterclass is a stretch we normally see pole when Leclerc puts in a quality lap

'Masterclass' and 2nd place do not go together

Why? If it was a masterclass of a lap he should be on pole 😂 that Ferrari is anyway rapid on one lap pace

@@malikazeez3743 No. Why should Leclerc be on pole? Did the faster Verstappen exceed track limits?

what

Oh God THIS!!!

It was his better exit from the last corner before that straight that made more difference.

they had the same top speed 337. Max just got there earlier with his better exit.

Red bull has more downforce than Ferrari in this setup

@@lucasdevries5131hell naw look at the rear wing

@@Alessio-fl9mb Smaller rear wing means DRS has less effect. That is the reason. Sorry for my mistake in the first comment

@@lucasdevries5131 yes i was thinking that u wanted to say that👍🏻✌🏻

The RB was hitting 342 in the last straight, DRS still strong

kmag should be put in jail already for his on track behavior

@@TileBitan Only driver in the midflied who is not getting a pu**y like the new cars

@@TileBitan Nah its fun

@@TileBitanLEAVE MAGGIE ALONE!

@@Karma2Babylon yeah leave him alone!

"the car" is a double edged sword. Max hated his setup all weekend. The car was dragging him down.

And max don’t?🤣🤣🤣

Not anyone is driving a RB.. maybe a Ferrari or a Mclaren could be but that's it

I mean if the cars are close definetly, a Ferrari or possibly a Mclaren could have been on pole. Max is honestly just an insane driver

But if Max pulls a flawless lap, he'll also get pole

He has the beste car. Stop saying its the individuals performance that counts the most.

All of those epic F1 drivers have exactly the same potential. The difference is consistency. By epic, I mean the Hamiltons, Alonsos, Verstappens and even the Sainz of the world.

Yeah that was the one noticeable mistake he made there, it seemed to make all the difference in this lap. Shows how fine margins there are

I'm not saying that Verstappen's car is much faster than the competition, but wouldn't it be the most logical explanation to everything you just said?

Wonder why he didn't did it also in this race. Guessed he got bored of winning.

@@herematti5804 Nope, firstly the car doesnt drive It itself. About the tyre saving, is something related to the driver style/strategy. Secondly the driver trave is the key, in Interlagos 2016 Verstappen beat everybody in the rain with a mediocre cara finding grip where nobody could. About the opening gap, that is about the driver consistency because Verstappen can do It even over Perez, that has the same car, and Leclerc, that has a very similar car from Redbull and got a lot of pole but cant beat Verstappen in the race. Senna is an example of that, with the same McLaren he could put 1.5 esconds of gap in the qualification lap over Proost, another World Champion.

⁠​⁠@@edumalafaia11last years Ferrari was amazing in one lap pace but dreadful on tires and stability, this years car sacrificed that one lap pace for stability, which has really improved race pace, that’s why there are no poles. Drivers have different driving styles and that Redbull is tailor made for Max, put Alonso in that thing he would give Max a run for his money.

@@Thrumyfilter The thing is, that Alonso prefers understeer, while Max's style focuses on extremely heavy oversteer, probably the most of any driver. And as you said, the car is tailor-made for Verstappen which would make him have an overwhelming advantage.

Yup. But still beaten by a non F1 GP winner 😂

Look at the start of the Peter Windsor video if that's what you think.

@@procatprocat9647 Peter Windsor?

The second driver will always be later on the brakes. I think they get some super power. But somehow the first driver is earlier on exits

@@TestAcc-lu5cnbraking late makes the entry speed faster,but there is a consequence that you might or certainly will have a worse exit out of the corner,which isn’t good if that corner leads to a long straight

That could be the reason he cooked his tyres too much….

@@TestAcc-lu5cnlol this we’re their Quali laps not Sprint race laps

Lmao I was joking. Watch any video and the guy on the back will always look like they are breaking late. Its just visual

If you watch the video again, Max' trademark is braking earlier (and less), taking more speed into the corner, straightning his car earlier and getting on the gas earlier again, If you than realise the Ferrari's have more mechanical grip, the fact Max get out of the corners faster, it all comes clear. It's Max driving style. Besides that, LEC had 23 (!) pole positions already, and converted only 5 (!) of them into a win.

@@Eric-rf1is Anyone who has watched F1 in recent years is aware that RB's race pace on Sundays has almost always been better than Ferrari's. This is the main reason why Leclerc has 23 pole positions and only five wins. In most cases, those first positions at the start were won with incredible one-lap riding on Saturday. But that's not enough to win a race where tire degradation matters.

​@@AntonMilevLeclerc no puede hacer el milagro por 50 vueltas, para ello necesitas el auto de Max...Max con ese Ferrari no temdria 23 poles, quizas solo 12 y tampoco habría ganado...

This Ferrari year 😂

@@AntonMilev Max'driving style is know for years: better on the tyre, faster on exit. The Farrari was indeed fast over 1 lap and hard on tyres. But if that's the case, would you hype LEC that much, if he didn't have that much poles (as now, he doesn't get on pole anymore) ?

Ferrari have better top speed what you talking about

He has the beste car. Stop saying its the individuals performance that counts the most.

@@oransjballcheco’s not getting pole and winning every race these past two years

@@Jenniemo112 because Checo is not a top caliber driver. There are at least 3 other drivers on the grid better than him who could possibly match Max in the best car.

​@@Jenniemo112Stop pretending they have the same style and the car fits both of them perfectly. The biggest differentiator in this sport is the car, even between teammates. It has been repeatedly noted Checo was chasing setups not suited for the car and is now just going with the flow. Nothing suits him. Stop being stupid.

@@oransjball You're borderline delusional if not just flat out mentally delusional if you think Max understanding how to control the car and get the most out of it isn't the primary reason he's winning. The car is good, and the people that made the car are incredibly smart. But you also need a driver that understands how to drive the car and get every ounce of performance out of it across an entire course, let alone 20+ courses multiple years in a row getting P1 and winning.

Not that much of a difference; not even two-tenth between them. Used to be that number one and two on the grid could easily have a second or more between them. In modern day F1 the field is packed extremely tight together and then under those circumstances, Verstappen consistently manages to top it all off. It's incredible.

​@@FrancisFjordCupolaexcept that charles and carlos got a lot of poles last year when max made mistakes in qualies. He is consistent, but not insanely consistent.

You certainly know nothing about F1, Leclerc has a lot of pole but when its about racing, like 54/72 laps consistenly great with no mistake Verstappen outshine everyone. The guy doesnt make mistakes, save his tyres and do the best lap of the race WITHOUT DRS AND WIND BREAK!

@@askeladden450He is now, he got better at it

@@FrancisFjordCupola ur mom managed to top me off. incredible.

Cos Charles choses to drive like that. Max focusses on corner exits, Charles focusses on late braking and corner entries… Max can take more speed out of the slow corners onto the next straight with his driving style. He always drives like that.

What a hypocrite you are. When the car does fine, people say not enough credit is given to the engineers. What about when a car breaks down on fundamental mechanical issues? Then what do you say

@@AM93000 then I say it is unfortunate. I don't blame max for what happened in Australia. That was brembos fault tbh for the faulty breaks and yes max is good but without that car he can't consistently be at p1 every week . Just that pleased

Redbull*

Blablabla excuses….

​@@Redlingsteinhe is right though

@@Redlingstein He is right. Both are exceptionally talented

Max fan here. I think with equal cars leclerc would won the qualy by lets say a tenth, but Max would be mostly faster in the race as his race pace is amazing.

Leclerc wont be able to handle RB20's downforce configuration

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

​@@jean-marcp.9253got your brain checked yet?? Cause he didn't really say anything funny.. he can beat verstappen cause of track position and better qualifying pace

theyre on par, what makes the difference was the traction out of a corner, Max always uses 'Slow in fast out' style, it makes him get a better momentum down the straights

Isn't his driving style oversteer? He sends the car into the corner and brakes late but because of RB20 aerodynamics he can also put the throttle down faster than anybody else, his car suits his driving style perfectly​@@ryvzenton25

they both have same top speeds, if u r referring to the distance VER made in last straight then its the traction he got outta that corner that made the difference.

337 max for both cars. Speed is identical. Try again.

😂 Ferrari was faster on the straight all weekend cos RBR have focused more on the slow corners…and it pays off. Max drove the chicane much better and the hairpin and can take more speed OUT OF THOSE SLOW CORNERS ONTO THE STRAIGHT…. That’s what makes the difference on this lap.

No, top speed and better traction win

That's purely a driving style choice.

It's a difference in driving style

Corner Exit is what Max ALWAYS FOCUSSES ON…cos you take that speed with you onto the next straight 💪

You only see Leclerc "lose" on exit because he only got close by gaining on entry where Max "lost" on entry, so in the end the difference isn't massive, they both lose in opposites and so the gap doesn't change

yeah, like he did in karting, where karts are as equal in performance as they possibly could be. right? in all honesty, leclerc should try and beat sainz, like regularly and consistenly, before even thinking about max.

Nêh...Max brakes earlier, but also steps on the gas earlier. Keep in mind that even in qualifying, he's managing his tires. Sure, Ferrari has a great top speed, in qualifying, but their race pace just lags behind.

no that's Max his driving style

nahh max just drives slow in fast out, better exit means he can get on the trottle faster thats it. The ferrari is just a fast as the red bull on the straights

Ferrari is as fast in the straight u can see that the gap stopped opening once they both got on the throttle for a while, meaning they have the same top speed, max just had better exits.

Identical speeds on the straight. 337. Try harder.

If you look at the splits the Ferrari wins every cornering section but gets flogged down the straight each time.

​@Fiasco3 Max brakes earlier to get a good exit. It's a different racing style, that's why the Ferrari looks faster in the corners but isn't. Not saying that the redbull isn't faster on straights.

u watched the whole video and thats the conclusion u made?

Its really not the straights. Is more the different racing style. Leclerc for example breaks later and has a higher minimum speed than Max does. Max in general always prefers to brake earlier and fast exit out, which gets him a better release on the straight

Perez doesn't exist?

​@@Stormvogel262perez is worse than bottas

😂 Max wins it by driving the slow chicane better…. Geez your delusions are hilarious. Your jealousy 😂😂😂

@@RedlingsteinYes but that doesn’t take away that his car is 0.500-0.800 faster than the competition. Please stop mentioning Perez he is utterly trash and washed. He can perform in the races because the RB is a rocketship but can’t even do that consistently.

true, hamilton would destroy everyone in rb20 10sec/lap faster than everyone else.

so why is perez not p2?

​@@PanjolArtartificial goat can only be faster if he has a car from a different category (aka Mercedes 2014-2020)

@@8tonystark8”artificial goat” 😂😂 Dear oh dear. The dumb just keeps getting dumber.

If you think that, leave F1 and watch chess… 🤡 my gosh, the DTS fans are so ignorant

bunch of nonsense

😂😂😂 Max wins it in the slow chicane…you didn’t watch did ya 😂😂😂 Max was faster IN THE SLOW CHICANE and took more speed with him onto the next straight… that has nothing to do with straight line speed 😂

😂😂😂...same top speed .try again

Leclerc racing lines in this were not better as you can see by some of his exits.

Braking late and giving up the exit before a straight is not the better racing line.

Netflix fan

wtf

Leclerc lines are clearly shittier. Data shows his corners are regularly a lot longer than Maxes, meaning Leclerc spends literally more time cornering and less time under full throttle on the straight. Max techniques is just way superior on most tracks of the calendar. and it also helps massively in terms of tire degradation. Everyone knows how great of a tire manager Checo is and has always been during his F1 career, but Max proves himself a lot better in that regard even than Checo. Leclerc is nowhere close to that level.
