Miami was the most watched F1 race ever in the USA. It was also the most watched sporting event that Sunday. The viewers aint going anywhere. The ones who dont like see Max winning are the ones complaining. I guess we going to hear them cry a couple more years.

If f1 survived the Schumacher,Vettel and hamilton years of dominance, then they'll survive the verstappen ones as well.

I wonder how history will remember these few years? Will they credit the team, car, engineers, driver or will they credit a part to all. I believe that if there is an example of synergy in sports- this is it.

I really like Max now he's matured a bit. He can take a joke, reacts well to a loss, turns his game around and come back stronger. Yeah sometimes he's sick and tired of the same questions, idiotic comments and when some reporters are just trying to bait him but I think the drivers really respect him for both his attitude on and off the track. Lando is my next favourite - because he just takes it all on the chin before the questions even come out. He's incredible at pushing forwards, on the sim and moving his team ahead. He's missing Max's killer instinct but brings so much support to his team. The two together would be unstoppable. Max to Maclaren?

F1 has survived multiple drivers in their years of dominance. This is Max’s time to rise amongst the greatest to ever do it and I’m happy for him. I’m a Lewis/Mercedes fan and I enjoyed eight years of seeing him break records. But like all great things, it must end one day.

Don't blame the generational talent, blame the other 19 and their teams.

Everyone complains but they all want to participate in experiencing such dominance. When the NY Yankees, Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Bulls and New England Patriots were at their peak many lived to complain but went on to proudly say they 'witnessed' it in real time.

4:52 this is the whole ball of wax. Excellence is only dangerous to those who pale in comparison.

Dominance is always temporary though; teams catch up over time and there are less gains to find at the top. The real problem is the upcoming rule changes in 2026 just as the signs appear of teams catching up to Red Bull. The signs are there that 2025 could be a really exciting season for the fans, but it all resets in 2026 and risks having one team find the golden ticket to success and leave everyone else behind, as Red Bull did in the ground effect era.

People should get a grip because if max would be their child, they would be proud, and they should be. Show some appreciation for such a great driver and team.

i never blamed lewis, schumacher for there dominantional driving but now its a dutch guy who denied your british you love puppy a win and now its dangerous for the sport. wake up and enjoy the sport as it is and do not change the rules so you can win.

never heard them say this about lewis.

why do we keep talking of a Max dominance ? Why don't other teams build better cars .. so their drivers can compete...

I missed the live discussion but I believe the problem of Max dominating the competition is not the problem. The problem is that the other teams do not have the same resources as you pointed out. However, he has been monumentally brilliant.

What is happening with society? We should be celabrating brilliance, not reward mediocracy. This mindset we are currently in will be the downfall of humanity as we know it. The world should wake up and catch up.

Said it the live chat and I'll say it here, the VER/Red Bull dominance isn't even HALF the length of the HAM/Merc domination.

I don't know what type of " fan" you have to be to watch the first 5 minutes of a race only. I find F1 very interesting, even through Max dominance, there is so much happening. But I understand brits cancelling their Sky subscriptions, I wouldn't pay that amount of money for having to listen to Crofty and especially Ted Kravitz and their extremely biased commentary either.

So I should tell my kid to not exceed everyones expectations because he will hurt the feelings if other lesser souls. Is that it. It is an Anti Max bias . Call it for what it is please because this promotor did not complain when it was Lewis dominating because Canada is a predominantly Lewis and Ferrari fanbase.

Who says RedBull can't allegedly has Das....we don't ever sees an unboard camera on Max's car....lol

Untill now even after two full season of Max dominating, the ticket sales and the number of spectators who want to visit the GP's all around the world are only increasing and the numbers of television viewers is also increasing or at least stable.. Many GP promoters all around the world are trying to organize a race in their country, Lyberty media could easily organize another 10 GP's if the calander allowed it.. Perhaps that will be slightly less in England at the moment because some of them are still gutted about the outcome of 2021 and mayby some see some decline in some Brithish drivers performences in the last couple of years, but maby next year with Lewis in his Ferrari or Norris will ste up his game with his McLaren team.. And it is the same as it was years ago in Germany when Schumacher stopped his career in F1.. And will probably happen in the Netherlands when Max will retire, but overall the numbers of people coming to watch F1 are still growing.. And it is really up to the other teams to take steps forward and do it even better, you can't blame Max and his team for doing a great job..

Someone below said something about the car being the dominant thing, but as they say if thats true then you just look at the team mate And if you want to know how dominant max is in terms of his talent, just look at his teammate and his performance deficiet That just shows you, that yes the car is pretty great, but just remember how Perez nearly finished P3 in the standings in 2023 Thats how non dominant the car alone is

I believe part of the problem with the band wagon that is the red bull driver that is not Checo is how they tried to shove that guy down everyone’s throat in the process of being semi disrespectful to the other drivers and then the blatant cheating and racism that came along with him and his personal team was just to much. I supported the young guy until signs of entitlement arrogance and disrespect became his major personality traits and 2021 was the nail in the coffin

I doubt this. Schumacher and Verstappen are 2 outliers in the 70 years history of F1. Max is arguably better, but there is a chance he just quits. And that be an interesting moment. Because if nobody has beaten Max over a season, then you'll know that anyone that continues is winning WDC because someone left. In the end you have a complete freak of nature that is just too good for the sport he plays. Like Federer, Usain Bolt, Phelps and the like.

Do you know what the sprint races showed me? Thay qualifying is always exciting. Almost never a disappointment

Newey is leaving. He is/was RB's 'DAS' and 'Partymode'.

Max is a very good driver but most importantly he got the car that is way ahead of the others is as simple as that. Michael s was the same Lewis also we can only judge his driving ability with better competitors cars

Cam is just afraid Max drives LH records out of the books. He just put his bias in a different package.

In 2023, if Max gained 15 seconds even the sports channel drastically reduced following him. All eyes watching the 10th place fight. That means nearly zero Red Bull advertising while the race is on! I do want excitement, maybe winning by 1-3 seconds 🧐 on a regular basis.

BTW, cost cap dominance is way different that no cap dominance. But you would've known that if you really knew anything about F1

Dominance in the sport is acting at the highest level. Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Eddy Merckx, the youngster Tiger Woods etc. In tennis for almost 2 decennia Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. When the legends arrived, the others knew they would play for the other medals. In the F1 you have also the constructors title, so not only the driver, but the whole teams of hundreds of employee are working for the championship. So, the best drivers fights for the best car / team. Back to Red Bull dominance. Many were convinced in 2022 (less dirty air) that it was over with Red Bull and Verstappen when new rules were introduced against porpoising. Or the flexibel wings... Or the effect of less windtunnel time. Or the effect of the problems within the RB team. But when they still manage to perform outstanding... that deserves some credits. To make double stacks during the pitstops of 2.0 seconds... it is impressing. It could be predictable, but is up to the other teams to fight back at all fronts: fast drivers, car, pitstop, strategy etc. Not mentioned about the different circumstances like driving in the rain, in the evening, in the desert, with a couple of safety cars at one race... And still performing for P1... Was it boring to see Usain Bolt? Or Michael Phelps? Or Mike Tyson?

F1TV is much cheaper!

When Max Dominates practice and gets pole I'm less interested in watching the race so I record it and fast forward through it just to watch the highlights.

Dominance? Talk to Peter Windsor about the Lotus 79. It made the rest of the field look like F2 cars. James Hunt (commentating then) said, "Ignore the Lotii; third place finisher is the winner." It killed the sport for most of the fans drawn to F1 by James Hunt (it was a very backwater sport before Hunt.)

Do you all have to subscribe through Sky? Can you not subscribe through F1 directly? I ask because the cost of Sky Sports does seem wildly out of line with the value they're providing. So, it must be the only option, eh?

No one said anything when Hamilton and Mercedes dominated

Why has your content become so toxic lately, Cameron? You used to provide calm, appreciative F1 commentary. Now you can't go a day without attacking some driver, team, team principal, the FIA or god knows who else, replete with clickbait thumbnails. What are *you* doing here, mate? Is this the kind of creator you want to be, the angry man raging at the clouds all day? Relax. Try and remember sport is supposed to be about relaxation, entertainment and enjoyment for the viewers. A break from the stresses of daily life. Not an addition to them. All I hear from you lately is frustration, indignation and rage. Have a look at your recent video titles. Disrespect. Failed. Shambles. Stupid. Toxic. Arrogant. Bored. Joke. Robbed. Bias. Implosion. Shameful. Dangerous. I could go on. Don't become a rage streamer dude.

90 pounds a month is a robbery, f1tv here is 80 euro for full year. hurts my ears everytime i hear it

The Mercedes era of dominance was far longer. However, when you consider that Hamilton could not dominate hollow world champions such as Button and Rosberg in his career... Just watched the Brawn series on Disney and forgot how bang average a driver that Button was 👍 the last couple of episodes was a painfully embarrassing watch.

I just show you how bad the rest really are. F1 is screwing up F1 the hybrid sucks and is dead tech, the stewards have there head up their asses. The cost cap thing is stupidity the smaller teams dream of having that much money. American’s we’ll get bored with this nonsense rather rapidly……. We have real racing here!

Merc not.

Same as with lewis and seb before that. Don't like it go watch something else.

And there in lies the problem in f1..... the truth is, is we need spec cars to have an even racing field............ and an added advantage is...we would get a true champion driver each year.

The thing about Max is, you know when he finally gets competition he is going to CHOKE. He is going to drive people off the tracks, chop, not brake to get ahead and make it look like the other driver should have left him room. The chaotic stewarding when it comes to penalties is because of what Max and Masi left behind, F1 has been going on since 1950 and those stewards seem more confused than ever before, and it is the drivers behind Max are paying for his violent get out of my way driving. Really hope Ferrari have a competitive car next season, and Lewis and Leclerc tag team the feck out of Max. Hold him and block him up, make his head spin like crazy.

The sport doesn't know well enough how to give real talents a chance, that should help, get rid of underperforming drivers quicker, even when their daddy owns a team, that only dilutes the essence of the sport. If these were gladiators some would have perished long ago.

These are the rules they wanted. These are the results they wanted.

No one compare Max's clear air racing to Lewis's dominancy. Lewis has battled Alonso, Nico and Vettel. Max is just dominate in clear air, he is literally battle clear air. Zzzzzz I have said it before and I have said it again, when his future children will watch his title wins they will fall asleep, and remind him Lewis was robbed in 2021.

Did you moan so much when Hamilton dominated F1? The minimum age of drivers of F1 is 18. So let's have a Maximum age of 35? To get rid of has beens like Hamilton and Alonso. So giving seats to young drivers.

Whhahaha yess 2026 max merc 100%

Max will not get the love for his absolute dominance as Lewis did. I think it stems from 2021 Abu Dhabi. That championship was handed to Max when It should have been for Lewis to take. And I think Max is on another level in accordance with this car. There has been a shadow cast on him since then. And when Max continues to slay the competition, it seems animosity grows amongst some fans and say “why watch?” Everyone watched Lewis dominate with joy. Interesting differences here.
