If you look at the steering input, you will notice that Checo steers a lot more than Max does in some corners. That alone tells you that the approach checo took was not correct and the car was not coping with it. I know it is difficult to change your style but he should work on it.

Checo had way less wing as well. On all the straights he got higher top speeds, but lost all of that in the corners. But that has always been the thing with late brakers. They put less wing on to ensure for higher top speed and sacrifice the corner.
Good observation. Max has always liked a pointy car with a loose backend. His throttle control and feel for the backend is just insane. The problem is that most drivers are really good at 1 thing... Hamilton and Alonso are the opposite and perform best with a stable rear end and understeer. Drivers can be good at both but one of these two will always be their strongest.

I drove in SCCA for years. The difference is that some drivers can “steer their way out of trouble” and keep their foot planted on the gas when the rear end gets loose on corner exit. You need to have started driving at a young age to do this well, and also be genetically gifted with lightning reflexes. Max has both. Every driver in F1 is in the top 0.1% of race car drivers, but they do differ (slightly) in their raw ability to do this.
@@beats4all914 Yes, RB has zero rear stability. That car will make you shit your pants, if your not used to it. That's why being a 2th teaam mate is difficult.

@@camiloorsini9674max is the best driver in recent times so it’s not surprising he’s a different level compared to perez, but perez is still massively underperforming and why did rb even extend his contract
Out of the various noticeable differences in their driving, 2 things stand out for me. One is Max's gear downshifts on corner approach seems a bit quicker, possibly meaning he is using the braking effects better. And two, Max is down on top speed, likely meaning he has a 1/4 or 1/2 turn more downforce in his setup - because he has the skills to put that cornering grip to good use. This video is calling out Perez's failings, and fair enough he's in a title winning car. But I doubt other drivers would be able to get equal performance to Max either.
I don't think anyone's asking Perez to equal Max anymore at this point. Perez just needs to be more consistent and not qualify in the midfield or back.
I fucking love these videos. I had an idea for the edit though: What if you pause both videos when the faster driver gets to the end marker, so while we’re reading your commentary, we can see the gap between the drivers. Then, before you start the next section with both drivers aligned, you play the slower driver forwards at .25x until the cars match track position again, and resume both to normal speed for the next section. I think it would highlight the differences. With or without the slomo, I’m perhaps complicating it.
I think a lot of it is in Perez' head. If he has a bad outing, he seems to feed on that and sink. You'll then see Horner give him some encouragement or "he's our guy" and that somehow resets Perez until the next time he screws up. He's frustrating to watch because he has the car and he has shown his ability, but just gets lost for weeks at a time.
Each driver makes its own setup with help of the mechanics, thing is that most probably RedBull gave this car such philosophy that if you change the balance to make it easier to driver it becomes a fuckton slower @@Luis7Vazquez7
Montoya summed it up perfectly. The Williams car would feel awful and deliver a crap lap time. His Mclaren would handle awful and deliver a Lap time for pole
I think Perez's biggest weakness is before the lap even starts and that's getting the tyres into the right working window on the outlap especially in changing conditions.
Looks to me like he’s overdriving it (judging by this vid, which isn’t ideal). Too much braking into the corner, and by doing that not give the tires space to cool.
I think there could be set up differences too. Max was fractionally slower at the top end speeds but had so much more confidence in the lower speed sections. Whatever people want to say about Max, he has been driving at an elite level now for a number of years.
I think so too. At the start of the lap Max uses as much as asphalt at possible, allowing him to take more speed through the chicane but checo who leaves a cars width is faster at the start/finish line. Must have had less wing.
@@ytwos1 i think max knew this car is bad when touch the curbs too much, but checo still think hit the curbs is better, he need change his mind, its not ferrari or mclaren that can hit curbs harshly
Perez is in trouble now that margins are small.. his usual 3 tenths of in Q3 would have put him P8 if he did make it into Q3.. he has to hope Spain gives RB a large lead again. It's crazy looking back and seeing how often he started outside of the top 4 when he has always had a top 4 car during his time at RB and mostly a top 2 car.
@@Ashley-lz9jh Ricciardo has been having 2 shit races for every decent race he has, and 3 shit ones for every good one so unlikely. Tsunoda just isnt good enough. Like hes had his best season last year and it was underwhelming af Lawson needs a year in junior team at minimum.

@@QurttoRco Yuki's biggest issue is how easy he breaks when he loose his cool, with Mexico(vs Piastri)or Jeddah (vs Magnussen) last year being great examples of this,when calm he does a great job carrying Alpha Tauri/VCarb (just like Gasly used to do). While Ricciardo.. I don't think he would do a good number 2,he was already destroyed by Norris,two seasons in a row, Lando fighting both Ferrari while Ricciardo barely defeated Gasly in 2021 (when the Frenchman had more DNF and no victories) its the first thing that comes to mind.
Nice video as always, just one question, after the analysis could you please let us see the 2 laps again side by side without stopping the slower one? I would like to see both laps in real time
Perez brings 8 partner sponsors to the Red Bull table, probably worth 80m dollars in total (per year that is). So whaddya think Red Bull is gonna do when they're planning an extension for a driver that is more than worth his own money? Of course they'll be hiring him. Team gotta survive.
Knowing how Verstappen is carrying all the points past few years for RB. We can confidently say Perez is just a marketing signing, Horner and Helmut said it themselves, Checo brings lots and lots of sales in South America
As long as Max bags the wins for the team he'll carry them to WCC all on his own again. And in the meantime Perez has a backing of 8 partner sponsors worth 80m dollar per year.
Teams only care about Drivers, no one really remembers constructor championships unless you are a super fan.

Can you compare laps of Q1, Q2 and Q3 of the same driver in normal conditions? I'm curious about what really changes in their driving style between this different laps.
When the driver and the car are at one, amazing things happened. We've seen it before with Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton. We're seeing it now with Verstappen.
Witnessing moments like these just makes it harder when I remind myself that we're in fact watching actual human beings do this and the fact that every driver will eventually retire just makes it so hard for me. I hope Max remains in F1 for as long as he can, I don't know how the sport would take that fact when time eventually runs out for him. On the other hand, I'm very much eager to see what heights will this beast climb for the rest of his career, simply unstoppable!
Since the GP happened last weekend, I would like to see a lap comparison between George’s pole lap and the last pole lap in same condition, which was Vettel’s 2019 pole lap. Would be a very nice representation of how different these two generations of cars were as they went on their qualifying laps.
You can tell the answer from the exit of the first complex -- Perez has no confidence in the rear end of his car. He's way more timid in his throttle application versus Max who is on it earlier and more aggressively everywhere.
Verstappen eats, sleeps, and drives f1 and sim races. He is racinng the whole time, that is why he is the best. Perez only drives f1 and then family time. We should not underestimate the amount of practice Verstappen gains out of the track.
perez knows his contract isnt in danger anymore thats why hes showing his true skill edit: I wont be that ' IM FAMOUS MOMMY' guy but thank you all for giving me likes
@sakurahime8774 - Aside from his contract renewal, Perez sells 65% of RedBulls merchandise(Mexico) and brings in heavy sponsorship like TelCel(Carlos Slim), Mobil 1, Claro, KitKat to name a few which is many reasons on keeping Checo Perez.
This year's Red Bull is no longer having an advantage so Max is working hard to make up the deficit. You can see he is not scoring pole easily anymore. Also, he is not running away on race day instead, he is trying to make zero errors in all critical situation and even try to draft other race car to make pole position. He is a quiet guy but he is working hard to beat his opponents.
It takes a driver with maximum whatever to drive like Max Verstappen. It's not always about the fastest car but the way he unlocks the RB, that's crazy. He's on a next level of confidence.
There are even super obvious difference like Verstappen just using more of the track on the entry to T3. "Use all of the track" is like most cliche advice given to anyone in rental karts or simracing.
Schumacher also was on the throttle higher and longer than other drivers of his time in corners and used the throttle blips to kick the rear of the car around and point the car in at the apex. I think maybe Senna did the same sort of thing.
With the replays matching and the pauses being when the cars are at the same point, it’s kind of pointless. Pause when they are in their relative positions to get an idea of the difference. Or am I missing some thing here?
Just something I noticed. Even tho Verstappen was getting on the power early, he was not clocking the top speeds Perez was topping. And Perex understeering through some of the corner tells me that he trimmed a bit of wing and went for straightline speed. So ofcourse early braking and late throttle will be a consequence of that. However losing that much time per corner is horrendous. Having an understeery car will always mean he can never set times like Max.
Checo also got his setup wrong, he ran less wings and was faster on the straights but in such damp conditions it was severely impacting his confidence when it came to attacking the corners. One should expect such an experienced driver to make better setup choices.
im not sure if i heard this right on broadcast but it was not a 2 yr extension to 2026 its a 1+1 meaning red bull could realistically drop him at the end of 2025 if he doesn't perform. still does not seem like a good start to the extensionbut its not as bad as it seems contract wise
it also looks like perez had a lower downforce setup. he seemed to be a bit faster on the straights. that could also explain why he can't attack the corners as much
As long as Max wins titles, Perez is very favourable to the team because with him comes a huge package of sponsors that neither Sainz nor anyone else who would have claimed Sergio's seat has got
And not just the constructors title, the driver's title too. Now the Red Bull is no longer dominant they need Perez to be finishing ahead of Max's rivals and he's not doing that. Way more important than any sponsorship he brings.
All those crashes are expensive in the costcap era. Money they should spend on car development. Especially with multiple other teams on par in terms of performance. And showing their new floor to the competition each time he crashes isn't helping either.
@@NangDoofer nope...Perez' 8 partner sponsor rack in some 80m dollars a year, complemented with him selling lots of Red Bull merch. You can become #2 in WCC and that sponsor money still covers the difference. And also you get extra tunnel time for next year.
Absolutely max is better than checo, but, the team already explained checo couldn't bring the rears up to temperature do to a mechanical problem that was making him not have sufficient grip
Interesting but highly subjective, as there are no indication ifnthey used the same floor, same uogrades or even if they have car damage. PEREZ had rear suspension damage for example in Canada.
Gasly made himself impossible with his attitude to the team, thats why he was changed... but Albon, Horner said they should've given Albon more time yes
Albon was better. He outscored Max from Belgium to Brazil and in the end only finished like 20 points behind when they were both teammates in 2019. The thing is that the 2020 car was an absolutely atrocious car to drive and Albon just struggled with it. He would’ve done much better in the 2021-2024 RBs. RB would’ve walked the 2021 WCC if Albon was driving instead of Perez.
@@paperplane-db8qf 1. max had 2 dnfs during that period, both from potential p3s 2. how do we know he would've done better? because he given a full season yet never showed any positive blips or real progression in terms of closing the gap to max and apart from mugello, was never there to take advantage of the opportunities handed to him in the form of max's 5 dnfs that season. it's a mental sport and albon, like gasly, is just not mentally capable of performing at the front where the pressure is real; translation: a lot tougher. marko and horner have both mentioned this 3. red bull would have had their seasons not to keep him on for a 3rd season, enough said
Perez said he couldn't get heat into the rear tyres and had no confident. that would explain the different corner speed, because you are able to be as aggressiv when you have no confident and the walls are so close
Max is not my favorite driver based on personality and his dad i cannot stand one bit, but i have huge respect for how good he is and i appreciate him being in the sport.
Is Max necessarily faster than a George or Charles in qualy? Perhaps not, but unlike any other driver he made 0 material mistakes (those where your competition can overtake you within the same lap you made a mistake). Max is doing a little bit of a Senna here btw, who also gave throttle input through a corner. Keep the turbo spinning to enable for immediate torque instead of waiting for the lag. Even naturally aspirated engines that Senna drove as well benefit from keeping the RPM to a level that creates maximum torque immediately.
Does Verstappen use taller gearing than Perez? In some of the stills you can see Verstappen's speed ks faster but his RPM is lower. Maybe just an innaccuracy with the graphic?
You can tell in turn one that Perez was struggling to get the car turned. Its because Verstappen always likes his car set up on the limit of grip and for it to be extremely aggressive and undrivable. Perez enjoys more understeer and you can tell here that it means he has to jerk the wheel to try and get rotation because Verstappen I think runs a more pointy car.
This is weird. Virtually every time I pause it, they look to be in the exact same spot on the track, even after the last chicane. Maybe not the exact same, but certainly not 1 second off.
Alonso: My old trick still works! th-cam.com/video/zhoh4a9XfuA/w-d-xo.html

Then, before you start the next section with both drivers aligned, you play the slower driver forwards at .25x until the cars match track position again, and resume both to normal speed for the next section.
I think it would highlight the differences. With or without the slomo, I’m perhaps complicating it.
I think a lot of it is in Perez' head. If he has a bad outing, he seems to feed on that and sink. You'll then see Horner give him some encouragement or "he's our guy" and that somehow resets Perez until the next time he screws up. He's frustrating to watch because he has the car and he has shown his ability, but just gets lost for weeks at a time.
verstappen is just insane you can't go full throttle and not lose the rear even in the videogame
I think the wheel input says it all
Checo is so scared of turning that wheel. The way that car is setup must be ridiculous
Each driver makes its own setup with help of the mechanics, thing is that most probably RedBull gave this car such philosophy that if you change the balance to make it easier to driver it becomes a fuckton slower @@Luis7Vazquez7
Montoya summed it up perfectly. The Williams car would feel awful and deliver a crap lap time. His Mclaren would handle awful and deliver a Lap time for pole
I think Perez's biggest weakness is before the lap even starts and that's getting the tyres into the right working window on the outlap especially in changing conditions.
Looks to me like he’s overdriving it (judging by this vid, which isn’t ideal). Too much braking into the corner, and by doing that not give the tires space to cool.
Exsctly. He said that himself too.
I think Pérez biggest weakness is Pérez.
Tyre management management was the elite skill he had already in Sauber, the fact it's an issue now is so weird.
@@schnurstracks8166 then you clearly started watching the sport after 2020
This is why Liberty Media should keep creator doing stuff. This analysis is great !
I was waiting for this one! Thanks!
I think there could be set up differences too. Max was fractionally slower at the top end speeds but had so much more confidence in the lower speed sections. Whatever people want to say about Max, he has been driving at an elite level now for a number of years.
I think so too. At the start of the lap Max uses as much as asphalt at possible, allowing him to take more speed through the chicane but checo who leaves a cars width is faster at the start/finish line. Must have had less wing.
@@ytwos1 i think max knew this car is bad when touch the curbs too much, but checo still think hit the curbs is better, he need change his mind, its not ferrari or mclaren that can hit curbs harshly
Nice one it would be a pleasure if this got shown more on a daily basis between the 2
Perez is in trouble now that margins are small.. his usual 3 tenths of in Q3 would have put him P8 if he did make it into Q3.. he has to hope Spain gives RB a large lead again.
It's crazy looking back and seeing how often he started outside of the top 4 when he has always had a top 4 car during his time at RB and mostly a top 2 car.
It's only been outside of the top 2 at Singapore 2023, Monaco 2024 and arguably Canada 2024.
@@Slimmeyythose ppl will not remeber these,. No matter how good you are most of the time, they will only remember the onr bad one.
interesting clip well done!! i did notice a few time perez speed when you paused was a little high but max is a whole level above perez.
Correction, the deal is 1+1 instead of 2. So there's a chance that he will be replaced in 2026
He will be. Now, do you think Lawson, Ricciardo, or Tsunoda?
@@Ashley-lz9jh
Ricciardo has been having 2 shit races for every decent race he has, and 3 shit ones for every good one so unlikely.
Tsunoda just isnt good enough. Like hes had his best season last year and it was underwhelming af
Lawson needs a year in junior team at minimum.
I wonder if there's some clause were if his performance is lackluster enough, the team have a right to immediately terminate his contract with an already pre-determined settlement payment.
@@QurttoRco Yuki's biggest issue is how easy he breaks when he loose his cool, with Mexico(vs Piastri)or Jeddah (vs Magnussen) last year being great examples of this,when calm he does a great job carrying Alpha Tauri/VCarb (just like Gasly used to do).
While Ricciardo.. I don't think he would do a good number 2,he was already destroyed by Norris,two seasons in a row, Lando fighting both Ferrari while Ricciardo barely defeated Gasly in 2021 (when the Frenchman had more DNF and no victories) its the first thing that comes to mind.
@@QurttoRco In fairness to Tsunoda though, he's having an excellent season so far, and I can't see him doing any worse then Perez is already doing.
Nice video as always, just one question, after the analysis could you please let us see the 2 laps again side by side without stopping the slower one? I would like to see both laps in real time
Goes to show how fine the margins are and how on the limit the drivers stay. The tiniest lift here and there adds up to being lapped.
0.2s advantage in one middle section of a curve sequence is huge! Max is driving the car, Perez is driving along with the car.
As always, great video mate. Could you make a video analysing how Norris lost the lead after that SC, and whether or not he could have pitted?
Because I’m better
Omg verstapwenneen

Something tells me that this is actually the man himself, just trolling randoms on an alt he created
DU DU DU-DA
bro you should use that soundtrack from the last vid when explaining things more often, its so chill
The redbull contract extension is so undeserved.
His sponsor brings lots of money that's why they kept him and not another reason.
Perez can thank Max and Jos for not wanting a competitive driver in the second RB seat.
Perez brings 8 partner sponsors to the Red Bull table, probably worth 80m dollars in total (per year that is). So whaddya think Red Bull is gonna do when they're planning an extension for a driver that is more than worth his own money? Of course they'll be hiring him. Team gotta survive.
Knowing how Verstappen is carrying all the points past few years for RB. We can confidently say Perez is just a marketing signing, Horner and Helmut said it themselves, Checo brings lots and lots of sales in South America
@@Spunkey1982Stumper
Perez will be responsible for Red Bull missing out the constructor champs
As long as Max bags the wins for the team he'll carry them to WCC all on his own again. And in the meantime Perez has a backing of 8 partner sponsors worth 80m dollar per year.
He brings in enough money they don't care, otherwise he would have gotten the boot ages ago
Why would Red Bull even want to become the constructors champion? Tighter budget cap, less wind tunnel and computing time...
Perez is already responsible for losing 2021 constructors' championship
Teams only care about Drivers, no one really remembers constructor championships unless you are a super fan.
Can you compare laps of Q1, Q2 and Q3 of the same driver in normal conditions? I'm curious about what really changes in their driving style between this different laps.
When the driver and the car are at one, amazing things happened. We've seen it before with Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton. We're seeing it now with Verstappen.
Witnessing moments like these just makes it harder when I remind myself that we're in fact watching actual human beings do this and the fact that every driver will eventually retire just makes it so hard for me. I hope Max remains in F1 for as long as he can, I don't know how the sport would take that fact when time eventually runs out for him.
On the other hand, I'm very much eager to see what heights will this beast climb for the rest of his career, simply unstoppable!
Max uses power to rotate the car mid corner.
That's exactly what Senna used to do
Since the GP happened last weekend, I would like to see a lap comparison between George’s pole lap and the last pole lap in same condition, which was Vettel’s 2019 pole lap. Would be a very nice representation of how different these two generations of cars were as they went on their qualifying laps.
I would like to see the braking data between the F1 drivers. Max seems to be the master of brake management and fighter pilot reflexes.
You can tell the answer from the exit of the first complex -- Perez has no confidence in the rear end of his car. He's way more timid in his throttle application versus Max who is on it earlier and more aggressively everywhere.
How come you’re not on my recommended anymore. I had to search you up to get some quality.

Nice one!! would love to see a comparison between RIC and PEREZ at the Canadian GP!
Perez turns the car with his steering wheel, Max steers with his throttle pedal.
Verstappen eats, sleeps, and drives f1 and sim races. He is racinng the whole time, that is why he is the best. Perez only drives f1 and then family time. We should not underestimate the amount of practice Verstappen gains out of the track.
perez knows his contract isnt in danger anymore thats why hes showing his true skill
edit: I wont be that ' IM FAMOUS MOMMY' guy but thank you all for giving me likes
Doesn't explain his awful Monaco and Imola before the signing though lol
Pressure is exactly the same, all jokes aside. The piece of paper is more of a suggestion in f1
@@wittisy meh thats just an average perez move💀
@@Klont123 exactly, a few more races like this and his seat will be in danger again
@sakurahime8774 - Aside from his contract renewal, Perez sells 65% of RedBulls merchandise(Mexico) and brings in heavy sponsorship like TelCel(Carlos Slim), Mobil 1, Claro, KitKat to name a few which is many reasons on keeping Checo Perez.
This year's Red Bull is no longer having an advantage so Max is working hard to make up the deficit. You can see he is not scoring pole easily anymore. Also, he is not running away on race day instead, he is trying to make zero errors in all critical situation and even try to draft other race car to make pole position. He is a quiet guy but he is working hard to beat his opponents.
Practise makes PERFECT
Why is Max's car slightly darker
It takes a driver with maximum whatever to drive like Max Verstappen. It's not always about the fastest car but the way he unlocks the RB, that's crazy. He's on a next level of confidence.
There are even super obvious difference like Verstappen just using more of the track on the entry to T3.
"Use all of the track" is like most cliche advice given to anyone in rental karts or simracing.
I so wish Max had a competent team mate. An inter team battle at Red Bull would be amazing to see.
Max is a machine!
You can’t compare an ordinary f1 driver to an f1 driver that comes around once in a century
Nice Video like every time ..
Can u make the same for Russel and Hamilton?
Schumacher also was on the throttle higher and longer than other drivers of his time in corners and used the throttle blips to kick the rear of the car around and point the car in at the apex. I think maybe Senna did the same sort of thing.
I have to wonder if the race engineers watch your videos as well; very informative without being obtuse, and they're not 8 hours long either.
Is it just me, or is there a color difference between the two car?
there is a brazilan channel on youtube named "formula 1 na veia" using your full video (translated thou)
the precision and confindence in the details, dam verstappen is a IA mate i swear
Perfect analysis 👌🏻And Max is fuc*ing Awesome driver 🔥
3:20 No he won't stay until 2026. There is no chance RedBull didn't set a performance clause to the contract.
With the replays matching and the pauses being when the cars are at the same point, it’s kind of pointless. Pause when they are in their relative positions to get an idea of the difference. Or am I missing some thing here?
what is the copyright situation on these videos? i hope youre getting paid for this great work
Hey what about the 2 way tie between Versttapen and Russel please upload too i need to see the intense qualifier
One was exploring the limits of the track and his car, the other was just cruising.
Just something I noticed. Even tho Verstappen was getting on the power early, he was not clocking the top speeds Perez was topping. And Perex understeering through some of the corner tells me that he trimmed a bit of wing and went for straightline speed. So ofcourse early braking and late throttle will be a consequence of that. However losing that much time per corner is horrendous. Having an understeery car will always mean he can never set times like Max.
Checo also got his setup wrong, he ran less wings and was faster on the straights but in such damp conditions it was severely impacting his confidence when it came to attacking the corners. One should expect such an experienced driver to make better setup choices.
The car development is the key here, both the RB19 and 20 had counter effect on Checo's driving style
im not sure if i heard this right on broadcast but it was not a 2 yr extension to 2026 its a 1+1 meaning red bull could realistically drop him at the end of 2025 if he doesn't perform. still does not seem like a good start to the extensionbut its not as bad as it seems contract wise
Surely there was a glitch as I saw no braking input from VER at the hairpin.
it also looks like perez had a lower downforce setup. he seemed to be a bit faster on the straights. that could also explain why he can't attack the corners as much
As long as Max wins titles, Perez is very favourable to the team because with him comes a huge package of sponsors that neither Sainz nor anyone else who would have claimed Sergio's seat has got
if they lose the constructors championship they will lose more than what Sergio's sponsors give them.
And not just the constructors title, the driver's title too. Now the Red Bull is no longer dominant they need Perez to be finishing ahead of Max's rivals and he's not doing that. Way more important than any sponsorship he brings.
All those crashes are expensive in the costcap era. Money they should spend on car development. Especially with multiple other teams on par in terms of performance. And showing their new floor to the competition each time he crashes isn't helping either.
@@NangDoofer nope...Perez' 8 partner sponsor rack in some 80m dollars a year, complemented with him selling lots of Red Bull merch. You can become #2 in WCC and that sponsor money still covers the difference. And also you get extra tunnel time for next year.
@@JayQ2k damn I know hes popular but not that popular...
Absolutely max is better than checo, but, the team already explained checo couldn't bring the rears up to temperature do to a mechanical problem that was making him not have sufficient grip
Max is one of the best among all racers, I gotta admit. Yet 1 second gap is not solely related to Max's abilities, mostly it's about Perez's low form.
Interesting but highly subjective, as there are no indication ifnthey used the same floor, same uogrades or even if they have car damage. PEREZ had rear suspension damage for example in Canada.
You can check the FIA website all new updates fitted to a car are registered.
In hindsight they should've never fired Gasly
Gasly made himself impossible with his attitude to the team, thats why he was changed... but Albon, Horner said they should've given Albon more time yes
Albon was the right one, he is fast and has a great attitude.
Albon was better. He outscored Max from Belgium to Brazil and in the end only finished like 20 points behind when they were both teammates in 2019.
The thing is that the 2020 car was an absolutely atrocious car to drive and Albon just struggled with it. He would’ve done much better in the 2021-2024 RBs.
RB would’ve walked the 2021 WCC if Albon was driving instead of Perez.
@@paperplane-db8qf 1. max had 2 dnfs during that period, both from potential p3s
2. how do we know he would've done better? because he given a full season yet never showed any positive blips or real progression in terms of closing the gap to max and apart from mugello, was never there to take advantage of the opportunities handed to him in the form of max's 5 dnfs that season. it's a mental sport and albon, like gasly, is just not mentally capable of performing at the front where the pressure is real; translation: a lot tougher. marko and horner have both mentioned this
3. red bull would have had their seasons not to keep him on for a 3rd season, enough said
They said that was a bar in the rear suspension, casually, the issue was addressed AFTER the qualy session 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Great analysis
Remember how you said that Perez will try to retain his good qualifying performance after Japan?
I think he is trying...
Could you do Hamilton and Russel form Canada as well?
Perez seems to be quicker on the straights - different wing levels?... difference in corner speed not JUST due to driver skill?
Perez said he couldn't get heat into the rear tyres and had no confident. that would explain the different corner speed, because you are able to be as aggressiv when you have no confident and the walls are so close
Checo had the newer engine and Max had his OLD ENGINE again after his new engine had issues in FP2! That makes the difference on the straights
most different is on the braking.
early vs late.
Could we have an Alonso v Stroll bitchfest?
Max is not my favorite driver based on personality and his dad i cannot stand one bit, but i have huge respect for how good he is and i appreciate him being in the sport.
What's wrong with his personality?
And because you don't like his dad, you don't like Max... Makes sense...
The music drives me crazy❤❤❤❤
I feel like we have already seen a version of this
I'm not an expert by any means but it just seems to me like Verstappen could be one of the most gifted/talented racing drivers ever.
Is Max necessarily faster than a George or Charles in qualy? Perhaps not, but unlike any other driver he made 0 material mistakes (those where your competition can overtake you within the same lap you made a mistake). Max is doing a little bit of a Senna here btw, who also gave throttle input through a corner. Keep the turbo spinning to enable for immediate torque instead of waiting for the lag. Even naturally aspirated engines that Senna drove as well benefit from keeping the RPM to a level that creates maximum torque immediately.
Does Verstappen use taller gearing than Perez? In some of the stills you can see Verstappen's speed ks faster but his RPM is lower. Maybe just an innaccuracy with the graphic?
You can tell in turn one that Perez was struggling to get the car turned. Its because Verstappen always likes his car set up on the limit of grip and for it to be extremely aggressive and undrivable. Perez enjoys more understeer and you can tell here that it means he has to jerk the wheel to try and get rotation because Verstappen I think runs a more pointy car.
This is weird. Virtually every time I pause it, they look to be in the exact same spot on the track, even after the last chicane. Maybe not the exact same, but certainly not 1 second off.
do yall know how small a margin is of a 1 second?
@@Itzfisah Yes
Why do their exhaust notes sound totally different on downshifts? Max's downshifts sound way crispier
Don't destroy the visual gap .Do not recommend channel in effect
To me it looks like Max being insane and Checo running slightly less downforce which wasn't the right decision
Does the straighline speed defference come from different lvl of downforce, or that max had the old engine mounted again?
Max had the Older ICE & PU…also, I think Max had a bit more Downforce Setting…
Max as a short corner/ early braking specialist almost always puts more downforce.
