Bad

Always fight

@@ALPHABYTE64 he WILL BE overtaken sooner or later , he's losing that spot , so it has no point to wast tires and laptime and focus on the actual fight, if the dude on front fights with perez for ex , he'll lose tires and lap time , which is good for norris.

@@ALPHABYTE64 in every racing category you want to do what’s in your best interest. If you have behind a driver that is much much faster or a driver who was fighting for the lead and just came out of the pits, you’re just wasting tyre life to delay an overtake that will happen. It doesn’t benefit you at all to fight in some occasions, and Norris knew it

​@@ALPHABYTE64 brb, gonna battle a F1 car in my GTE Porsche

Radio comms are always delayed a few seconds. They most likely communicated just after the turn or just before.

Dont forget they have to censure sometimes thats why it has delay :D

@@Skafiskafnjak51 F1TV doesn't censor anything.

We are checking

not in this case, as it is shown the f1tv onboard with all the radios in real time, as there is no censorship and they are just broadcasting everything that is being said ​@@dobiesawjocek4996

ah but when Hamilton does it you all speak much differently. Meh... lando is just meh. Nothing special. He hasn't faced a lot of adversity yet, that's for sure.

@@chamiltonart3319 man who the fuck brought hamilton into this? Crybaby dick rider

@@chamiltonart3319 he will never win a world championship.. which is sad because hes a good guy, just not aggressive enough

@@chamiltonart3319 shed some more tears...he is way better than lulu

​@@snugsel5412So.. another David Couldhard scenario?

How comes KZfaq didn't recommend me this before? It's genuinely amazing, very interesting and with proper context, no drama, zero fuss, just racing facts.

@@Vahron KZfaq's algorithm is messed up, that's known for years. But what saddens me more is that yelistener isn't taking all his amazing content to platforms where people would find him easier. Such as Tik Tok. His videos are short and the F1 community would stick around to watch a 2 minute video of analysis on Tik Tok.

@@winniewinner4545 That's actually a good idea. I've set up a tiktok account. Let's see if my vids could gain some views on tiktok.

@yelistener Oh that's great! On my way to folloow you there!

following this guy a good while now best f1 channel on yt especially if you like details like this

Your assessment based off two races…

@@gopr3117 no, it's based oof over 100 races, Lando was always choosing his battles, not fighting when it was pointless but racing hard when he had a chance

Last lap Lando baby

Imola 2024?

That’s what we used to have around 2015/16

@@amielterence Yeah I remember those times. The idea of the halo graphics is not bad, but the implentation has... potential to put it mildly

I think a lot of the difference is just a difference in general tyre management experience between the two drivers as well. I'm sure Oscar will get used to different strategies of saving tyres in F1.

@@TheFatSandwhich yeah, I think that for most of the season onward, I think piastri will qualify higher that Norris, but Norris will make it better in the race.

​@@TommydrengenStill the most balanced driver lineup on the grid, pace wise are pretty much close,but Lando has learned the hard way that messing with the tyres can have a costly outcome (it took him time to get back from Sochi 2021).

@@DerpSherman if they keep going this way, I could easy see Ferrari, RB and Mclaren, fight for 1st place construction championship. The other teams are catching the Red Bull. Ferrari is also a very balenced team, so I can see a interresting season coming in this year.

@@Tommydrengen I wish Ferrari can be consistently competitive whole season long, consistency (team wise)is the weak spot of Scuderia in the long run,while for McLaren,in don't think they looked this strong since at least..2021,but now they have a balanced lineup to be a real treat (unlike 2021,where Norris was facing both Sainz and Leclerc,while Ricciardo was barely beating Gasly). All that's left is to wait and see how the rest of the season develops,but it feels like McLaren and Ferrari are finally back in shape.

Norris: avoiding pointless battles KMag: looking for pointless battles

meanwhile ocon: let me unlap myself real quick max. it might cost you the win tho.

In particular the overtake to alonso at the hairpin was sick

He started p19, and he was a man on a mission

Lando is smart, his brain is bigger than his ego

@@Skafiskafnjak51 It actually isn't lol

Which is right! He's clearly slower, why destroying tires for a fight that is lost anyway. Now with McLaren being faster, he has to defend brutally. (As we saw in Silverstone as an example)

Mate, that's smart racing, at Canada McLaren didn't even have their upgrades, so it was a back of the grid McLaren vs 3rd fastest Ferrari, both would lose time if he chose to defend

Max never thought like that. And guess who pulled great performances even without the fastest car?!

@@daveruda Max, even when given the slowest car, is still a demon behind the wheel

@@DarkCyberUK no lol he crash

hes not racing next season anyway

Tell me you know nothing about F1 without telling me gou know nothing about f1

It was the best car, even though it lasted less than half a season.

@@il-ma.le. It def was the prettiest car

​@@il-ma.le.Sainz was nowhere in the "best car"

it was best in just 3-4 races all season, bahrain, australia, monaco and austria, and was never faster by more than a tenth ahead of redbull.

​​@@askeladden450it was the best in spain and better in brazil, Not enough but if they hadnt Shit themselfes maybe something could have went better

Both instances were towards the start of the race. If he defends against a *clearly* faster car, he'll ruin his tyres for his own race against his actual rivals. Either he won't have the tyres to attack/defend when he needs to, or he'll be forced to pit too early. There's also the risk of damaging the car from an incident. Piastri suffers from this at the moment. It's fun to see him getting aggressive, but he chews his tyres too early. He also takes a lot of risks dropping out of points, fighting too hard (Monza 2023, Spa 2023, and Miami 2024 are examples, irrespective of who's at fault).

Its not about time,its about tyres.

Kevin DOES pick his battles, he just picks them all

Sainz l's brain is bigger tham the entire Ferrari strategy team.

The guy behind is much faster, be it a generally faster car or better tyres. Norris has no chance of beating the guy behind. So, the car behind is going to get past him no matter what but, if norris defends against it, even for a single lap or so he will damage his tryes. Then when it comes to battling the car he wants to fight, he wont be able to because his tryes are finished. He's basically picking his battles wisely.

@@user-qf7dl2ki4t thank you!

Perez dinished 26 seconds ahead of him (this was the Styrian not austrian GP)

Maybe you don’t know The overtake button activates a different mechanism to the DRS button Overtake is an engine configuration which grants maximum power from the electric motors and minimum resistance to combustion engine acceleration from the generators

@@cyancut21 ill sleep less stupid tonight it seems XD

Gotta learn something new every day lol

Thats not the DRS button.

@@user-qf7dl2ki4t i know, you are a few days late ;)

Hiw do you not?

If you let them by on purpose you can choose to do it in a way that doesn't lose much time, instead of having your corner exit compromised by them doing something like going around the outside

@@samkostka126 Ah it's about the exit speed, I see thanks.

How old are you?

I was waiting for someone like you to show up because I‘ve seen this a lot last season, especially after the Brazil race last year How do you expect Norris to come out on top against Verstappen when the car never allowed him to compete with him?😂 I mean I‘m looking forward to the possibility of someone actually challenging Verstappen on track for the first time in two years and if Norris is up to that challenge but what you said is ridiculous You can call it „not even racing“ if you want because that’s the point of why it‘s so smart to lose minimal time to cars you don’t have a chance of fighting with anyway When there‘s a chance to beat a car he‘s fighting, of course he races against them, when there’s no chance of beating a car, why lose time and tire life to maybe keep ahead for two more laps and let the cars you are actually racing against catch up?

@@Holoflux older than you for sure

@@cyancut21 at least put up a fight it's racing, conditions change all the time, even impacting the time of a faster driver by a few tenths can flip an entire race on it's head and open up strategy options, that's why lando can't take advantage of the rare moments when an opportunity opens up cus he's always racing passively. There was a race where he let a faster car go by, a few laps later the driver totally lost pace while somehow the conditions favoured the McLaren, he could drive closer but could never overtake because he had earlier thought he was being smart by letting the faster car by and that came back to bite him in the arse, can't remember the race right now though. At least make them fight for it, you don't have to burn out your tires, at least take a defensive line instead of rolling out the red carpet, that will not even cost a tenth, make us believe we're actually watching a race.

@@chiefdenis In that instance, you‘re absolutely right. But since you can’t predict when a situation like that will arise, taking that 1/100 loss from that approach to benefit from it the other 99 times is the more efficient way of going about in a race I can’t remember those circumstances ever occurring (could have easily happened though, maybe you remember which race you meant later), the only instance that comes to my mind is Austria 2021 where he let Hamilton by who later picked up floor damage…and Norris just overtook him again It‘s not about our viewing experience, it’s about maximising your result and with the tires‘ operating window being so narrow it‘s a delicate task to keep them working properly, driving in dirty air for a few laps after being overtaken is bad enough as is but with a faster car by some margin it will happen anyway…so taking a defensive line, going onto the marbles and asking more from your tires than you’d normally want under braking, turning and accelerating will lose you time and tire life (which in the end means also lost time and strategic options) and I think the results Norris gets with this approach speak for themselves

Tell me you dont actually watch F1 without twlling me you dont actually watch F1 lol

@@user-qf7dl2ki4t and he does let everything by if he’s got a pace disadvantage. What do you mean? Maybe you don’t watch too often

@@willojames9910 Ferocity? Yea, of the top of my head, look at Austria '20 and Monza '21. No ferocity there was there! Let me guess, if this were you you've fought that position? And killed your tyres so you get passed by everyone else. Proving once again you have no idea about racing.

@@user-qf7dl2ki4t well done you found 2 examples in 4 years. Point proven.

@@willojames9910 well done on not understanding the term 'off the top of my head's Slow clap.

And then perez put leclerc in the gravel too yea

Theres no judging here. Juat analysis

Theres a reason K-mag is at the back you know. So lets say he defends against a much faster car, whats the result, he gets overtaken anyway. Your way however, hes fucked his tyres in the process. IQ of a potato

Yes, you should have defended against the clearly faster car that will inevitably pass you anyway and fuck your tyres in the process. Sigh

in the 2022 mclaren? literally zero chance he'd be fast enough to keep leclerc behind, they were still down there with williams/aston martin/alpha tauri that early in the season

@@samkostka126 Relax smart ass, we are only talking about that straight, whether Norris would have defended Leclerc if he had pressed the overtake button. It is obvious from the video that Leclerc made an overtake at the very end of the straight, so if Norris had used an overtake button he would surely have defended Leclerc.

@@samkostka126 literally 100% if Norris pushed overtake button he would defend from leclerc on that straight that lap.. iam not talking about whole race of course

@@oliverSK that straight sure but why drain your battery to defend against a car that's going to fly past you 15 seconds later anyway? Better to save that burst of power for the Williams you actually have a shot at defending against

@@samkostka126 of course man just talking hypotheticaly becouse in video is shown just that straight and if he would defend or not and ist obvious that he would

noone cares

Who KERS?

@@FCB001 ooo thats a good one

Gg ez

@@ghosty9051 bru what

Do you even remember how easily he let him through in Silverstone 2021? Of course you don't

Norris never defends against lewis, drives me insane! Only time was at Austria.

As far as I can remember, he only defended Hamilton in GB last year. And it was a race where McLaren was way faster than Mercedes, and he had hard tyres with like 18 laps to go, against Hamilton's soft tyres. He had every reason to defend

Thats because he actually has a chance of beating lewis.

​@@de1623then you need to actually watch F1 lol
