Yes we do need it but from a lower angle, the same height of a turtle eyes. Haha I’m kidding. I’m just still mad at HAAS and fokin Guenther and Gene for attempting to strip Albon and Perez from their points in Austin.

Well if RedBull is 8th and they finished 1-3 it can’t be just about straight line speed then.. Williams is clearly the fastest in a line here but their tires destroyed their race, there’s many factors going into a race

@@DarthVaderOfficialand overall downforce

@@DarthVaderOfficial yeah and redbulls cornering is unmatched

​@@DarthVaderOfficialYou could see how balanced that redbull was through the tight chicane. When max overtook Leclerc he just accelerated into the distance because he could carry the speed through the corner so we'll whereas Leclerc had to slow down a lot but he had a better angle to the corner exit.

Hamilton fan logic 😂. "Quicker on the straights...." Blah blah blah

Least degradation you mean? Because too much drag would make you look like a sitting duck even when the car is good, like what happen with merc on brazil

Drag is important. Idk what you are saying

Nobody else is saying this. If not for Perez (Again) Max would have been really vulnerable to Charles even with less downforce than Checo. Leclerc got him once and he would have taken the victory just like he took 2nd place. That’s why Max said something like “We need to work together. We can get him.” Because he knew how powerful Charles was in Vegas, that’s why this time didn’t hesitate to lift in order to try and help Checo. Cheers 👍🏼

What makes it more impressive? Those are qualifying runs. Cars are set up differently. Just look at where Williams ended up at the end of the race...

@@rickymacqueen6690 If that’s the case, I believe it has to be addressed either in the title of the video and/or description. Because I also understood that that was for the race. I know your reply is not for me but if that is an “issue”, it’s the channel that has to be called out. And I for one have no idea if it’s straight speed in qualy setups, race setups, or a “balance”/average. Cheers Edit: My bad 👆 IT WAS ADDRESSED. Not in the title nor in the description but in the “captions”. Then yes, the point is yours. Even so don’t be so harsh 😅 we’re “drinking buddies” talking cars 👍🏼

@@drunkargonaut3899 your the one who read it harshly guy. I'm just trying to have a conversation.

@@rickymacqueen6690 I’m messing with you my friend. Sorry for not making it more evident. Peace ✌🏼

Sainz did 366 if I’m not wrong.

Sai went fastest,266

266?@@fqeagles21

That was with battery boost saved fpr several lap, AND DRS AND slipstream lol

@@barcafan94 where can i see that vid?

Kevin should have gotten out of the car and pushed it. No wonder they cannot keep up with the other teams.

no I think this data was collected during las vegas qualifying and i think he was the slowest haas driver during that

Checo had chosen a relatively high downforce setting due to the deg and the fact the doesn't like the oversteery style that Max loves and the Red Bull is famous for. As an aside, very often people ignore how Max's superior straight speed is a tastament to his ability to deal with a lower downforce car without spinning out (at least rarely) or incurring to much deg. It's not due to superior engine at all.

@@rodrigofonseca1160bro i never mentioned anything about the engine. I was talking about the wing level they chose

Sorry, in the final part of the text I wasn't talking about your statement anymore, just adding something people often say. I've edited it to make it clear@@ethanshackleton6195

Low wings

They were fast at Brazil, in a straight line.

And they were complaining not long ago that their engine as weaker than the rest...bullshit

@@Lodairo12 The engine is definitely weaker. It's just that on some tracks they are able to mask it with a really efficient aero package. Enstone is the factory that handles aero and chassis and they have always been pretty good because their performance in chassis tracks like Monaco and Zandvoort have been good while power tracks like Monza and Spa get trouble because the engine factory Viry is struggling

Complete noob in F1, i see..... it's not all about engine you muffin head@@Lodairo12

Williams was always one of the fastest in a straight. Nothing new here.

May i know what contribute to low drgradation of tires?

F1 was real when 1 team had 50 sec ahead of the others...modern F1 is fixed

@@vinipcplayer No it's not. This isn't WWE.

@@vinipcplayer stop being delusional. ALL THE SPEEDS ARE IN THE F1 APP.... of each lap and you know that. Stop posting blatant LIES

The F1 time table with lap times didnt work the whole race. None of the commentators or viewers saw any laptimes, sector times. The app didnt work.

They finished 7 and 8. That’s not an improvement, but a disappointment. High top speed is easy, they just need a low downforce setup. You lose grip in exchange. Mercedes seems to have chosen a low downforce setup, while RB went with high downforce. RB won the race. Probably Ferrari found the best balance, as they are the ones who outperformed their usual pace.

​​@@juzoliMax opted a low drag setup whereas sergio went for a high drag one didn't you saw the final laps of the race where commentator were saying about the reason why Checo was slow because of which his lead of p1 fell to p3

@@juzoli LH had 15 overtakes that race and was never overtaken on track. The puncture greatly affected the result. The car clearly HAS improved.

​@@juzoliAre you forgetting the puncture? And damage to Russell's floor? Without those, it would have been a good shot at a double podium for Mercedes, and if not for the puncture for Lewis, probably a win.

@@TreyMotes What’s clear is the end results. Everything else is just speculation.

And the winner was almost the slowest

Williams just couldn't figure out Downforce lol

they ran less downforce and had to comp in corners

It HAS less power. This is not abt power but abt downforce, how tgeir wing and set up was.....

Over 300 kph yes drag plays a HUGE part but between 200-300 kph power is still king. Norris confirmed at Brazil the merc engine is definitely more powerful than the Honda and you can see how it pulls lower down. The Renault is a surprise and a low drag set up clearly helped but there’s no way it’s lacking power! It was hauling ass up the hill at Brazil which also proves its power is not lacking.

But still corners like an oil tanker...

This proves what Norris said about Merc vs Honda power! No we definitely have more power he said. However the Merc especially is a draggy car so top speeds are often lower. This highlights the acceleration advantage from 200-300kph which is the power zone. After 300 drag plays a huge part!

Redbull has the most balanced car, just faster car in straights doesn't make it the best !! besides ,seems the other teams improved their straights line speed becasue no one was near to RB in that aspect !!

Lord please get your head out of his ass. He is a driver with the most balanced car no different than the mercs of past. Its the car first and then the driver.

I have never seen someone call the best car in the grid with Perez being n2 in the championship with shit performance all year a bad car

@HexxuSz they say that to elevate max and downgrade Sergio even more. Like last year Sergio wasn't fighting leclerc hard for p2 and this year he has p2

Because they’re salty Max haters who just started watching the sport and don’t have the brain capacity to understand that a car with lower top speeds can produce faster lap times.

Max fanboy...... their straight line speed is better on other tracks. It's all about configuration@@stevenst6337

insert facepalm

slower car ?!! 🤣🤣😂😂 joke of the century

Mercedes wasn’t the fastest in straights a lot of times from 2024-20 Shows how uneducated you are

Because F1 cars are all about straight line speed , you clown......

Acceleration! The power of the Merc engine is still king as seen from the 200-300kph zone. However both the Merc and McLaren are quite high drag cars so the top speed is lower.

Low wings bro

No. A lot have been calling it the "spider pig" track (gotta love that Simpsons reference).

Few keep mentioning this in the comments.....any video links for the onboard telemetry? The fia speed trap data only shows Ferrari at 350 as top speed

But it doesn’t, there is data to prove it, what you reckon doesn’t really matter bud.

Their engine

That's the trick to F1 that fans rarely want to discuss. It's mostly an engineering sport than a pure racing sport. They removed some of that drag with some tuning. Lewis probably could have challenged Perez for third.

Absolutely true, and for instance, no matter how great Max racecraft is, I don't even think that's his best strength. He seems to be absolutely mighty in finding the perfect setup and also to point the car development in the right direction. Max doesn't win his races on Sunday's, he does it on Friday and in the interweek work. Albon also seem to have this talent very sharp...That doesn't seem to be neither Perez nor Lewis strong points at all, as it would involve them being a bit more enthusiatic about simulators. Lewis seem to delegate this task to Russell, but Russell is no Verstappen.@@2remove788

I was surprised (even during the race) as well! Maybe they ran super skinny wings but on the other hand they didn't really seem to lack downforce or suffer more from graining due to excessive sliding. No idea where the straight line speed came from (in comparison to the rest of the season).

Low wings bro

they're running low downforce setup. which is why they also started at much lower speed (233 compared to mclaren and aston 242). i'm guessing they did that bc their car's aero is fucked and just decided downforce isn't worth it anymore. kinda like williams but not as extreme
