Perfect on the trottle, perfect on the breaks, perfect on the epex, corner after corner lap after lap. Even his own teammate in the same car cannot keep up with him. Max drives like a metronome.🐐👀

It's not only the car, the early braking and the early throttle, it is also the different way in which Max is cutting the corners. Peter Windsor had an item on that some weeks ago.

It's raining salty tears everywhere :)

and then people say he is only fast in a straight line when compared to others around a circuit but that is because max simply just prioritizes exit speed

This is why Daniel did well at Red Bull, Red Bull has a knack for making cars with a great front end. By braking early, they trust that the front end will do what they want.

I thought you had forgotten to include the turn name but I guess T9 really is "No Name" 😂

Perez would've been a better comparison for obvious reasons. The Ferrari probably couldn't have been driven the way the Redbull was as you hinted at a few times.

The Answer is he is extraordinary race driver and he has special talent and ability to take Risk at Right time

lewis fans trying not to say that its just the car: impossible

Max telemetry look almost straight line dude entry and corner exit is god tier

Incredible job on these videos! They look amazing and with all the data/visuals overlayed are truly insightful every moment of the lap.

I think he is so fast firstly because he has a godlike talent when it comes to racing and then when you have a excellent designed car that is designed based on his drivingstyle then you have the ultimate weapon for total domination

Your work is stellar, best F1 channel in my opinion. I wonder how long it takes you to generate the graphics + the analysis. I am a big fan!!!

Amazing work you do! Keep at it!

Fantastic analysis and easy to understand. thanks

Great video! Keep up the good work!

Awesome breakdown and analysis. Thank you.

Ferrari beginning to claw back but Max is at another level even Charles couldn't keep up if he would have a similar car. Max knows the car and circuit to the minute details and hence, sacrifice entry to get most of the exit and next corner like he knows where the speed is and what is more suitable to his car.

Max is driving like Michael Schumacher in his prime in the Ferrari. On the throttle even before the exit of the corners.

Imagine that, all of F1 wants to know how to drive like Max and here you are, explaining it all in just over 3 minutes. Your graphics are awesome, but they tell us nothing about steering input, nor braking or throttle ftm. But as I said, great video.

Great work loved it.

“Hurted” isn’t a word. Just should be “Hurt”

This was done really well ! Thank you for your great work from Quebec

Excellent and informative analysis. Please keep up the good work as this is very informative. Thank you.

Max wasn't even pushing. He was lifting off for eau rouge lol. Even in quali

Great content

Really like how straight forward you describe what effects the actions of the driver and the setup of the car have during the lap as these points can be applied to casual sim racers like me to be able to understand how to gain time at tracks and what to focus on when creating setups. Thank you very much for the analysis!

awesome to watch

Good video but I had to keep pausing it to read the notes and compare the lines. I’d slow it down a bit more especially through the corners

FanTAStic video

So the Redbull actually has more downforce, but is faster out corners and during DRS, but slower on the straight when there's no DRS...

The reason max can get on the power early is not due to the car grip of the RB19. It’s due to his ability to rotate the car quicker, thus being straighter on exit earlier and getting better traction. Watch Peter Windsor for a better understanding of driving styles

Max and Checo were not taking Eau Rouge flat out, likely due to not wanting to mess up their floor/skid plates. Saw a cool analysis where it was evident they were the only ones doing it, and it likely has to do with saving the floor. They were giving up time there, knowing they had it everywhere else.

So cool. The graphics make the information more accesible. Not sure if the analytics and speculation is accurate. But it serves a purpose for sure.

Well, we know now the RB’s were the slowest just after AR/R (the speed trap just after the corners) due to lifting to avoid the floor touching to hard on the lowest point. In S2 they made the killing strike. The speeds were about 309 for RB, and 323 for Mercedes. Still all other teams couldn’t match RB on the lap. Also the speed difference after the speed trap in S1 was getting very low due to the aero after the lift in AR/R. So they did catch up after the speed trap.

incredible

Verstappen is approaching his 10th season in F1 and just now for some reason, people are finding out why he's so fast lol Because of the car, maybe? Just like dozens of comparisons like this done in the past, from Senna vs Berger, or Schumacher vs Herbert, this should've been done comparing him to Perez. Equal machinery, we would know the difference he makes. Red Bull can do things Ferrari can't, so, what's the point?

Would you say that Max rotates the car no more than is necessary to shorten the corner (shortest straight line to the exit point)?

At 0:42 your comment is simply not true: The Red Bull DID NOT drs.

Perhaps one day we can get rid of "No Name" and call it the Verstappen corner.

he’s better that’s the secret

Max is about one tenth faster in each corner

More like how great red bull was. This year red bull are probably the most dominat car this decade

Watching this video what came first in my mind is that Redbull have a rear traction control.

This makes me wonder: is redbull really the fastest car (without taking into account DRS, since you can't use it on 1st and he wins with 20sec advantadge). Perez doesn't make it look like the car is that much faster and it is actually balanced with the grid.

Because he has the fastest car ...so no surprise...

Can't deny Max is a generational talent but his wheel to wheel racing is dangerous, you either give him the corner or he would push you off the track like what happened in Las Vegas.

The explanation on Ferrari being fast on the straights is due to how powerful their engine is and they wing is slightly more skinnier than the Redbull ( But only marginally )

Why not compare him to Perez? That would have made much more sense. It would be interesting to see how much distance they actually travel from start to finish line. I bet Max uses less distance to do a lap than Checo does. He just drives more precisely.

But when max breaks early he’s not 100% in the beginning right?

Do this Perez, please?

You need to compare with checo who is driving the same car and not Ferrari.

Why are we comparing different cars. Compare Max and Perez.

Aero

Max can alway get early throttle,the secret is A GOOD CAR.

If you're one of those people who thinks Max has a faster car compared to Perez then here's a fewthings to consider: The gap between both RB drivers is considerable and often highlighted. But there are gaps between other teammates aswell. In fact the gap between Alonso and Stroll is bigger compared to the one between Max and Checo. Now it wouldn't make sense at all that AM would secretly make the owners son's car slower than Alonso's (talk about building a car around a driver, this whole team literally exists because of one guy). Such a large gap, especially between these two drivers shows that almost certainly the driver can make a really big difference. Every part, every detail and... yeah basically all things that can move, bend or makes a sound is documented. Now these files are not publicly available for obvious reasons but the race authorities do get them. So if it isn't clear already, this means that in order to make one car somehow much faster than the other it would immediately show up in these documents. But couldn't they be a bit creative and make it so that only on paper it would seem that both cars are equal? Yes but thats realy really unlikely as it would mean that the team is so incredibly committed to this scam that they are willing to cheat to make themselves slower. I mean, what more is there to say... How many people are working on these two cars and how many would have to be aware of such a conspiracy without a single whistleblower speaking out about it or even some leaked documents apppearing for once. Also in Belgium, where was Max faster compared to Checo? In the technical part of the track but not the straights. So how do you explain that if the cars are not equal? The engine sure seems to be and any downforce related differences are mostly visible from the outside since thats a physical aspect of the car. So if its not that then it must be something thats within the car itself but how would we explain that given the document that list the components? Now all of what I wrote seems to leave absolutely no room for any reasonable suggestion that the cars are not the same. Plus theres zero evidence that supports such a claim so therefore its reasonable to assume these two cars are equal. Except for one thing ofcourse and that is the driver because that alone makes by far the most sense. Happens at AT and AM, Williams... And yes also RB because why would it not?

He is Dangerous someone challenges him ....mv is dumb enough to twist himself in metal....other drivers are not that stupid

Perez is a better comp. RedBull have made possibly the best car in the history of the sport..so any intercar comparison is not a nice method

Simplest answer: He has the fastest car and is made to look even better by a teammate who struggles to make it to Q3 and is still 2nd in the WDC.

KAREN HORNER SAYS THE CARS ARE THE SAME AND I AM SANTA CLAUSE 🎅🎅

He has the best car in the grid and team built the car around him. Every pilot in the grid can win and half of the grid would be champion with that car.

Leclerc beats Max in equal machinery.

cause he ahas the fastest car, Maldonado would be winning in his car atm, next

cause he has a faster car, Lewis , Alonso and Lecrec will beat him any day
